So far I’m loving the bag. The size is great, it fits in everything that I need. I especially love that it has the credit card slots and zipper pocket so nothing falls out. It keeps everything so organized! Anyway, watch the video to see the full review, I hope this is helpful if you are thinking about getting the bag!
I’ve had my Chanel mini flap bag for a little bit now and I have had a few readers ask me about the bag so I put together a video on what I liked about it, what I carry in it and what it looks like on me. Overall it’s such a fun bag and although it looks small it carries a lot, I would say the same if not more than a medium flap! The one thing is, if you are going to be carrying it around as much as I do and use it as an everyday bag, try to get the caviar leather. The lambskin is so delicate and I’ve noticed the corners are looking a bit weary. Overall, it’s still a favorite bag.
As far as I know, these bags sell very quickly and there is usually a waitlist for them. If you really want one, the best bet is to let a sales associate know what you are looking for. If you are not picky about color, you will have better luck. But just let them know and you will be put on the waitlist so that the second they get one in, it can be yours!
If you are thinking about getting the Chanel mini bag or just want to know more about it, I hope this video is helpful!
Here’s a few mini Chanel bags that I found around the internet. All of them are from reliable places to buy vintage or previously owned bags. I mentioned in my video about the mini that’s the more square size. I think because that style came out first it’s easier to find vintage/previously owned styles of.
Just a few more fun photos of the bag! Hope you guys enjoy the video. Would love if you subscribed to my channel! I will be making more videos and if you subscribe you’ll be the first to see them! And also follow me on instagram, I post way more photos on there than I do on the blog!
Inspired by my previous post of the handbag giveaway, I had to re-visit my handbag wishlist. I was actually shopping for a new bag this summer but could not settle on one. I still haven’t decided and am still shopping around. It’s so hard to decide especially since bags are usually such an investment I can’t just make a quick decision!
I adore mini bags and cross body bags especially when I’m heading out with my daughter. It’s nice to grab a small bag with just my necessities and not worry about carrying my daughter with a big ol bag on my shoulder. I am leaning towards the YSL just because I saw it at Nordstrom and fell in love! But the mini version of my Prada Saffiano tote is so cute! I adore my Chloe bags and this crossbody is just the right size. I still love gray bags and the Ferragamo is a beautiful classic bag that I know I would carry for many many years.
And because I can’t get enough, here’s more bags that I’m loving! So many gorgeous options out there, I figure I better look at all my options before I commit to a new bag.
I don’t know what it is about fall but I love fall collections of everything, shoes, clothes, handbags and even with my own jewelry line, our fall collection is what excites me the most. It’s always around fall when I buy a handbag and I think it’s mostly the colors that come out that I just fall in love with. I love great neutral bags for the fall and my list below are the ones I have my eye on and may be adding to my collection soon.
The Balenciaga (1) is so unexpected Balenciaga since I think we are all used to their classic City Bags and such but I am loving the clean lines and the gorgeous nude color. I have really been loving blue and I don’t have any blue bags so I have my eye on the Saint Laurent (2) and the Chloe (5) which as you can see from all my bag picks I’m just loving the structured bag look but I love that the both have shoulder straps in addition to the top handles.
I have a thing for gray bags (I already own 3!) but I can’t help it! I love the gray of both the Philip Lim (3) and the Saint Laurent (6) but I am leaning more towards the Saint Laurent as I love the shape and the gold hardware against the gray. I have loved the Prada Double Bag (4) since I laid my eyes on it a few months ago and it’s been on my wishlist since. Oh man the decisions, so many fab choices!
Another trend that I’ve been loving is all the mini bags that designers have been coming out with. I already own a couple of mini bags (my mini Chloe Marcie being a favorite!) and I do have to say that I adore the smaller versions of these bags as they are so easy to travel with but also even on your most casual day, you can sling one of these across your body and instantly your outfit feels a little bit more dressed up!
This was the first time in a really long time that I did not pre-sale for the designer shoe and handbag sale, but between how busy work is and buying a new house and having a baby, there was no time or money left! I did however browse this morning and there is a ton of great stuff on sale! My favorite place to buy from online is Saks and Net-a-Porter since I don’t have to pay tax when ordering from there. Barneys also started their sale and I believe Nordstrom will have their designer sale online tomorrow.
You know how much I love my mini Marcie (see it on me here), they have a couple on sale! The “small” size Marcie is on sale as well in select colors. I also have this size and love it (see it on me here).
My Nordstrom designer handbag SA has a facebook page where she updates photos of new arrivals and sales. You can also contact her there to see the photos of what she has on sale so email her if you are interested!
I’m headed back home today after spending time in Chicago with my family for my nephew’s first birthday. It was so much fun to hang out with my family and especially to see my adorable nephew turn one and see him eat his first bite of cake!
Just a few random bits from my instagram that I wanted to share with you. I’ve been loving this crossbody bag from Target. I just can’t get enough! My husband laughed in my face when I bought it and he (sarcastically) said that was so sure that I was going to use this bag over all my designer bags but I really have been using it a lot! It’s actually nice to have a bag that I don’t have to worry about it getting wet, dirty, scuffed, etc… And it looks small but it carries a lot.
In all honesty though, if I had the funds to buy another bag, it would probably be this Saint Laurent bag! I’m so in love with it but… out of the budget for now.
At Barneys I spotted this gorgeous orange Celine Nano tote. It’s so cute! I’m so loving the mini bags these days.
Another OOTD. I had thought that I could put away my boots but the rain came back with a vengeance. When I was in Chicago it actually snowed so I was very glad that I packed boots!
Over at my jewelry line we launched a few new pieces including this yellow flower necklace which is my favorite! I’ve been wearing it so much. It also comes in turquoise and for a limited time, we are offering it at a special price so if you like it, get it now!
Hope you all have a great Monday and the rest of your week!
I spotted the Freya Tote which is oh just about $1,900 cheaper! I actually really like the color options of this. Am seriously contemplating on getting it. I’ve never owned a Juicy Couture bag so not sure about the leather quality. Might have to see if Nordstrom carries it to test it out!
Ever since I bought this dress
(it’s now on sale!) that I wore for my photoshoot with my husband, I’ve been shopping at Juicy Couture for cute dresses and am
just loving their spring collection.
