Astonishing April 2024 Purchases

[Cats&Bags]

So I rejected the whole idea of getting a new bag from the current navy or the summer collection (but Im gonna get a PM next year for my 40th birthday, lets see what colors there gonna be in 2025…)

For now I want to try the vintage preloved market for the first time: just ordered a Sologne from 2011, should arrive next week. I hope it is in good condition as described. Will post pics then! Fingers crossed!

Forgot to add mine! Envelope messenger from the Tyler collab. I’m not even a fan, I just loved the fun take on the monogram and the little dog sold it for me.



I also added this silk square from the last By The Pool collection to my order, as I’ve been looking at it for months. I loved the painted tile motif but RTW is out for me and there was too much white in the bags and SLGs. I also like that the scarf isn’t covered in LVs so can be a bit more subtle.

Went in to buy a bag charm for my speedy and walked out with this stunning ostrich mini. As soon as I saw it I knew I needed it. It's the most beautiful bag I've ever seen! And the purple inside is to die for! I'm normally not a fan of ostrich but I love how the texture pairs with the stunning color effect. This is my first exotic bag and the display box is beautiful as well. Any advice for caring for this beautiful bag? I've already worn it out once and it's just so unique!View attachment 5979619View attachment 5979621View attachment 5979622View attachment 5979623View attachment 5979624View attachment 5979625

Gorgeous bag! Wear it in good health

I had a super mega splurge in April, and I'm hesitant to even post it because the pictures do not even come close to doing it justice. I got the Idylle Blossom Paved Ring. Its actually a 3-ring set, one in each gold color. You can't really tell from the pics, but the pave diamonds are SO beautiful and sparkly. I think wearing all 3 together makes a big statement, but I've been enjoying just wearing one or 2 at a time for daily wear.

I've been debating if I should try to exchange for a slightly larger size. It feels perfect with one band, very slightly snug with 2 bands, and fairly snug with all 3. But, I'm also the heaviest I've ever been in my life, and I know I'm probably retaining water since I haven't been drinking enough, so I somewhat have faith that my finger might shrink a little LOL I also don't think I'll wear all 3 together very often - probably just on special occasions or evenings out (which is rare these days!).

I also picked up the matching earrings for a good deal on TRR! Again, there is no justice being done with these pictures!

My recent Fashionphile purchase. I've always admired this bag and wanted a vintage model with nice honey patina. Surprisingly, the water stains don't bother me as they are actually pretty faint in person. Do you all think $590 is a fair price?

I love it!! The honey patina is nice and I personally don’t think water marks are a huge issue. It can keep you from worrying about making them yourself.
Congrats on your purchase 😊

Absolutely that's a fair price. It's gorgeous and the patina isn't bad at all. Down the road as it gets older, you could always bring it into LV to have the full vachetta replaced. I did that on my Noé a few years ago and it cost $660. It literally looks brand new, even now.

Treated myself to a new card holder.

Thank you! I was SHOCKED how lightweight this bag is. In photos it always looks very heavy and bulky. Which is another reason I was on the fence about whether this particular bag was for me. But I love it!!

I absolutely love the mini bumbags!! And I’m a big bag kinda girl! I have been using the navy almost everyday for quick errands.
Since it’s my birthday month I had to grab the monogram to add to my collection and I’m so glad to have it. And the cute romy card holder because I love them for small bags😍
