    ♥ DESIGNER BUYS FOR LESS? COUNT ME IN! ♥

    If ya’ll know anything about me, you know I LOVE some good designer goodies. Ever since I was a teenager, I began my handbag obsession, saving up for designer bags like Gucci, Dior, LV etc + as I got older I moved on to Chanel, Hermes + more. Recently I have been also stocking up on designer shoes like Jimmy Choo, Manolo Blahnik, Stuart Weitzman + more. While I love designer must-haves, I learned that sometimes buying brand new in store isn’t the most cost effective so I am sharing my secrets with ya here!

    First up, SHOES! So I have scored tons of designer heels, boots + more all for 40% Off or MORE! How?? Easy, research baby. I search the SALE section of my favorite sites that have all the designers I love + keep an eye out for certain styles I am lusting after or staple pieces I can interchange with various outfits etc. I found that investing in classic pumps, sandals etc that are nicely constructed really last a while PLUS they are easily repaired from your local shoemaker or one of my go-to shoe + handbag magicians, PurseRehab! They can fix ANYTHING! From resoling your shoes to fixing fabric damage, stains etc…such a must-have if you are a designer lover like me so you don’t worry about messing up your higher end pieces.

    While certain staples like the Manolo Blahnik Hangsi Pump may not go on sale brand new from certain retailers, a great option is to search for them ‘New with Tags‘ from eBay Fashion, Poshmark, Yoogi’s Closet, FashionPhile, The Real Real + more! These second hand retailers often have shoes + bags in MINT condition and you can usually save on shipping, tax or snag them under current retail price AND they are all GUARANTEED AUTHENTIC (make sure you 100% verify the seller)!

    When it comes to buying second hand designer goods here are some things I look for:

    Box, Authenticity Card / Papers, Dust Bag

    (these are helpful to verifying the shoes or bag are REAL + AUTHENTIC, plus they are helpful when going to resell in the future if that is something you are interested in doing)

    Condition

    (examine the photos very carefully, look for discoloration, damaged threading, piping etc, marks, tears etc…while these aren’t deal breakers, they do contribute to quality factor however you may be able to use these hiccups to your advantage + simply go to a place like PurseRehab to repair those issues at a relatively low cost making the items look BRAND NEW for less!)

    Compare Costs

    (just because you find a Chanel for a killer price doesn’t mean that is the best deal out there, search the serial number of the item – any reputable seller should have that or the full product name for you to do a quick search + compare pricing, condition etc from other sellers)

    Whether you are searching for brand new pieces at a trustee retailer like Net-A-Porter, Saks Off Fifth etc or want to score a deal at a second hand luxury site, either way you are sure to find some amazing + unique finds at a fraction of the retail cost, perfect for avid collectors or first time buyers if you are trying to save a little!

    Pink Sweater || White Skater Skirt || Nude Ankle Strap Heels || Louis Vuitton Pouchette Metis

    ♥ London Calling ♥

    I was going through my photo archives + realized I never shared this fun fall look I shot last year in London! I was so excited to find this row of colorful houses everyone shows on instagram + bam…photoshoot perfection. While it isn’t sweater weather in LA just yet, I am stocking up on colorful chunky knits to keep me snuggled up all season long. I of course love my go-to neutral sweaters, but this pink one is just perfect for when you want to make a chunky sweater feel + look feminine!

    This week has been a bit crazy for me…from a busy workload to personal business to planning upcoming campaigns etc and for some reason looking back at this shoot from London put a smile on my face. Maybe it reignited the travel bug in me because now I am begging my boo for another international adventure filled with colorful backdrops, actual fall weather + maybe, just maybe some European shopping (hey…no tax when shopping in Europe is one of my favorite things about traveling there hehe :p).

    Last fall is when I first visited London + actually ventured outside the US. It was magical exploring London (followed by a mini trip to Paris…you know because it was one of my biggest dreams to go there). One of my favorite parts was shooting this look…

    This cozy pink sweater is perfect for a girly girl like myself. Normally chunky sweaters I wear for comfort more so than style, but with this pink Zaful sweater, I can be cozy + cute.

    I paired this sweater with a white skater skirt, nude ankle strap heels + my favorite Louis Vuitton Pouchette Metis I scored right before this trip (and I have been wearing it everyday since).

    I know a white skater skirt is more a summer staple than a fall one but I just love wearing one year round, and if you style it right, it can work for any season or occasion.

    This bag has been my obsession since the moment I got it. It is my everyday bag because of it’s size, versatility + it goes with any outfit, honestly…it’s great!
