Reveal: My First Louis Vuitton Bag

I recently purchased my very first Louis Vuitton bag, right after Thanksgiving break. After lusting for one for years, saving for months and debating the merits of new vs pre-loved for weeks, I finally decided on buying this one new. Partly for the experience of it but also partly because, this being my first one, I wanted to be 100% sure it was authentic.


I knew I wanted a Speedy in Damier Azur because I wanted the iconic LV bag. This is quite possibly the most well known one and I feel it will remain timeless and classic. It's also one of the cheaper bags they offer. I was initially debating between the Speedy and the Neverfull. While I don't generally like top handle bags, the straps on the Neverfull were so thin that I felt it would cut into my shoulders. Also, to get more use out of it, I would probably wind up using the Neverfull as a school bag and do I really need to spend $800 on a school bag? No. (Although I did get a new school bag so stay tuned!) I could list all the pros and cons of each bag but ultimately, I chose the Speedy and I'm very happy with my choice.

Nails: OPI Chapel of Love

Hi everyone! I changed up a few things on my blog and I'm hoping to post on here more often. I've been reading a lot of blogs lately and have been inspired to keep up with my own, if only to document the stuff I like and give me an excuse to take pictures of all my pretties!

Today I have on OPI's Chapel of Love. I picked this up about a month ago when Ulta was having a 2 for $10 sale on OPI nail polish from special collections. I also picked up Sitting Under the Apple Tree, Peach-a-Boo and a coral one, which I will take photos and post pictures of later. This was an especially good deal because you can use Ulta's $3.50 off $10 coupon so I got 2 OPI nail polishes for only $7.01 after tax. That comes out to $3.50 per polish!

Excuse the edges, I didn't clean them up before taking the pic

As you can see, the color is pink with golden shimmer. I tend to be careful with pinks because paler pinks sometime looks weird on me but I'm so in LOVE with this color! Hope you enjoy!
