What’s in my Work Bag: Louis Vuitton Neverfull MM

I posted a new video!  Sharing what I carry in my work bag – the Louis Vuitton Neverfull MM.  Just wanted to share what I take to the office and what I can’t live without for my work.

Here’s everything that I mentioned:

Louis Vuitton Neverfull MM 
– I bought this at the LV store years ago and the price just keeps on
going up every year!  There are a lot of great pre-loved bags out there
that are much more reasonably priced but I will say that this bag is
worth the investment.  I’ve used it practically every day since the day I
bought it.  It even doubled as diaper bag for me when I first had my
daughter!


Bag Pom Poms/Keychains – I have one on every bag now!  I can’t help it I think they are so cute.

Day Designer for Target  – I love this planner.  It is probably my favorite planner of them all.  The price is great too!  Considering most of the other ones this size go for $40+, you certainly can’t beat $9.99. 

Sugar Paper Planner  – Why do I need a second planner?  Well the one above is simply too big!  But I feel lost when I’m out and I don’t have a planner on me so this is my solution and I love it.  This one is small but has big enough spaces to write in and I keep my most important tasks/appointments in this one.

Macbook Pro Case  – I’ve had this case for years and it still looks great!  Mine is a light pink but I’m loving this hot pink case!  The Speck cases are really well made.  I’ve seen other similar cases but are a lot flimsier.

External Harddrive  – I have 3 external hard drives.  As a photographer I have WAY too many photos that I don’t want to get rid of.  This one is the slimmest that I found and that’s why I carry it with me.

Macbook Charger  – Beware when you search “Macbook Charger” on Amazon as there are listings where it seems like you are getting authentic Apple ones but instead you get horrible copies made in china that do not work.  Luckily I didn’t end up buying one of those as I read all the reviews and got scared off.  But I did find this one and it doesn’t claim to be Apple branded but it is at least compatible and works great!  I also like traveling with it since it’s lighter than the regular Macbook charger.

iPhone charging cable – I’m of the “you can never have too many phone chargers” camp.  So I’m all about these cables.  Don’t get tricked by super cheap iphone charging cables from China.  I know because I bought them (when I was in china!) and tried to plug my phone and they either freaked out (kept on buzzing and turning my phone on and off) or they simply just do nothing.  I now have a stockpile of these Amazon ones and they all work fantastic. These are the best priced lightning to USB cables that I’ve found.

Le Pens – these are truly the best planner/agenda pens!  They write so well and I color code everything in my planner so love having all these pretty colors.
 

Diamond Pens – And these are great everyday writing pens.  The diamond on top is just so me!  Love them and how gorgeous are the colors of the pens.  They come in a set so you get all of these!  They now come in polka dots too!  So cute.

Chanel planner clips  – these are so cute and really well made! They ship from New Zealand so shipping can take awhile but well worth the wait.  I haven’t found anyone else that makes these so they are one of a kind!

Sunglasses – my favorites and they come in gold and rose gold.

I talk a little bit about my business in the video and wanted to gauge some interest in a video talking more about my business and how my sister and I started it.  I get those questions a lot in real life so I figured it may be fun to make a video about it.  If you guys have any questions about my business, how we started it, how we’ve grown it, etc… let me know in the comments or shoot me an email and I’ll include the answers in the video if I can.  And if you guys liked the video please subscribe, it would be amazing if you did!  Thank you! 🙂

I’ve blogged about my love for vintage bags (especially Chanel – see my post here about where to shop for vintage Chanel and see my video here for my vintage Chanel bag colllection).  I love nothing more than going to Nordstrom and shopping the designer handbag section but let’s be real here, the prices these days on bags are insane!  I love browsing pre-owned designer handbag sites online and I recently discovered Trendlee which has an awesome selection and which is where I got this Prada bag!  I plan on reviving my youtube channel so I shot a video of a review of the bag and my experience shopping with them.  I’ll have it up in a few days, if you are subscribed to my channel you’ll be the first to know when it goes up!

Chanel Mini Flap Bag Review

Chanel Mini Flap Bag Review

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!

Saint Laurent Bag Love: New Bag Reveal!

Saint Laurent has just been killing it lately with their bags.  I’ve been wanting one of their new chevron quilted bags from some time now.  I went to Nordstrom and pretty much just died for all the bags they had.  I first spotted these two new styles which stopped me in my tracks.  I mean the red and the gold is just so gorgeous.

I still like my big bags but as a mom I have to be realistic and I know that crossbody’s work better for daily use.  I did really like the smaller camera bag (that’s what the style is
called) but when I looked at it, the zipper stopped just at the top and
it was kind of hard to get your hand in so I can imagine me putting a
bunch of stuff in it and then struggling to get it out. As the sales associate was showing me the bag I spotted another bag in the case that I literally gasped for…

Yes!  A chevron quilted wallet on chain!  It’s such a beauty!  I tucked the chain in to take these photos but it comes with a pretty chain strap that you can take off to wear as a clutch, or leave it on to wear as a crossbody or over the shoulder.  Isn’t it so pretty? It’s just what I needed, I absolutely love it!

Video: How to take care of your bags

As a follow up to my How to Take Care of Your Shoes video, I had several people ask if I could do a video on how to take care of your bags so here it (finally) is!  I go over a few tips on how I take care of my bags from aging from weather and stains, how to clean my bags and how I store them.

My basic tips are:

  • Use a weather and stain repellent spray before using your bags and spray again if you haven’t used the bag in awhile.  If you use the bag frequently, spray the bag every few months or as needed based on your weather.
  • Use a leather conditioner to keep the leather soft and scratch free.
  • To clean stain spots, use a leather cleaner or a mix of baby shampoo (a small amount) and water and dab with a clean cloth.  Let dry and repeat if necessary.

My caveat is that I have never done this on any of my new Chanel lambskin bags (like my Ultimate Stitch bag) because the leather is a bit different than the leathers on all my other handbags (it’s a lot more delicate).  So I don’t advise this for your lambskin bags since I’ve never sprayed or treated them before.  Same with Chanel caviar bags.  I just really baby them (they never get taken out in the rain, if they do, I hide it underneath my coat) whereas my other bags I’m a bit more rough.

Adding to my Chanel Collection: Chanel Bag Reveal

I heart you guys because you all love my purchases as much as I love them! 🙂 It’s like when I get texts from my friends of “Look what I got!!” I always do a little squeal of joy for them and that’s what I feel like you guys do for me! I love this little network of ladies (and men!) who appreciate the love of getting pretty new things. Sure it may be superficial but I’m glad to be surrounded by superficial people. (haha!  I joke!  We aren’t superficial, we just have good taste.) 🙂

Anyway, got lots of requests to see my new baby and after a few times of carrying her out (all of which were raining, grrr) I am still in love!  She’s so buttery soft and just the right size.  Just thought I’d show her right out of the box (I took these the day I brought her home) before I post a lookbook with her.

The name of the bag is the “Ultimate Stitch” and sizing wise it’s longer than a M/L classic flap.  I brought it home and my husband said “You bought a dachshund version of a Chanel bag!” as it’s long and skinny like our pups 🙂  So funny but true.

Here’s a little preview of the lookbook and you can see the size a little bit better.

chanel_ultimate_stitch
The inside has two sections and an internal zipper pocket.  It actually holds a lot of stuff!  My regular classic flaps only hold a wallet, phone and maybe a small cosmetic bag and this one holds all of that plus a reusable bag and my regular cosmetic bag.  I love that this one can hold a bit more.  You can change the straps several ways, the regular double strap, one long strap which can be worn over the shoulder or crossbody and if you tuck the straps in, it makes for a great oversized clutch!  It’s so versatile which was one of the reasons why I chose it over the others I was contemplating.
I’m going to tell you that I’m not really into showing my bags on the blog but I’ve been trying to integrate some into my lookbooks.   I’ve had several requests for a bag collection post and I’m super hesitant but I don’t mind showing you guys a few of my bags… expect a video blog soon!Also, if you missed my “what’s in my bag” video post, click the link to see what I carry in one of my vintage Chanel bags.  Also, the fabulous Tam over at Get it Girl Style featured me in a post about what I carry in my bag so click on over to see the post and also check out her weekly series which she features a different blogger and what’s in their bag!
