So after much anticipation, my Maria Oliver alligator bag arrived yesterday and I am underwhelmed. It's cute but definitely smaller than I was envisioning it. To be fair, it did say mini so not sure why I wasn't picturing a mini bag. It's nice just not sure it's worth keeping at this price point as I don't foresee using it much and might prefer something similar but slightly larger.

2 other non-handbag packages also arrived yesterday and nothing seems quite right. One is a pair of LV shoes I love but the heel feels wobbly making them surprisingly hard to walk in. The pair I tried on in store was like that too but I assumed it was bc they were 2 sizes too big but now I realize they are beautiful but poorly designed. Feels like a sprained ankle or broken bone waiting to happen. Also got some jewelry from Neiman Marcus which I think looks really cool but is not very comfortable. 3 strikes and I'm out.

Sorry to complain, just feel like I'm in a rut and not loving anything I've purchased recently (other than Balmain x Barbie bag - that one exceeded my expectations). I might keep the LV shoes anyway bc they're so pretty even though I know that's silly. Now that I think about it, I don't LOVE the Lady Dior I bought recently like I should for that price point either (although I'm committed to that one). Even feel the gold jimmy choo is blah too after I made such a to do about getting a gold bag. I obsessed over finding an old Prada fairy bag and also felt disappointed by that when it arrived. Anyone else ever feel like this?

Maybe it's a sign to take a much needed break from shopping.

This happens to me a few times a year. Usually around now, since spring/summer is winding down and fall/winter is not yet in full swing. I have the urge to spend money, but there isn’t a darn thing I want. So I buy, I’m disappointed and I return, or I don’t buy at all. And then closer to the start of the new seasons, I find a million things I love and have to have! So I bug, and bu, and buy. Every. Single. YEAR! I’ve gotten to the point where I recognize it now, but it drove me nuts for a long time. If you’re like me, just give it about a month and all will be right with the world (of shopping)!

They been around for quite sometime now but not as popular as LV or Chanel for example but their bags are really good in quality compared to Chanel or LV. I own a couple of Bvlgari bags and they are my obsession lately. This is my most favorite Bvlgari bag it's from last year collaboration with Casablanca. The snake eyes are made of blue jade every Bvlgari serpenti eyes are actually made of semi precious stones . The black eyes are onyx and the green eyes are malachite. On this particular bag the top handle is detachable and it comes with a wide strap for crossbody. I used this bag 2x since last year and I took it to Chanel, Dior LV , Hermès and to Cartier (when I picked up my bracelet ) just to get the SA opinions hahha and it did not disappoint.

Getting on a dinghy to ban island after this post. The price was just too good to pass on italist and I’ve been wanting a baguette back in my wardrobe after I sold mine a few years ago. Very happy but much too much these past few months :no:

Thank you for introducing me to Italist! There are a few bags that I’m eyeing on there with really good prices. How was your experience with them?
