The Investment Shoes

This is a similar post to the one that I did about The Investment Handbag back in February. I think that a pair of shoes can define you, and your day. Investment shoes are not $100-$200 shoes, they are the $400 and up. They last for years, go with almost everything, can go from day to night, office to a dinner date, and in some cases are the defining feature of your work style. Here are a few shoes that no matter what stage in life you are in you will be able to wear. All of these shoes are available in classic black, but also nude.

Christian Louboutin New Simple Pump

Malono Blahnik BB Patent Pumps

I can't wait until I can buy all of these shoes! What was your first big shoe buy? what do you want your first big shoe buy to be? I would love to hear in the comments! Thank you for reading and have a preptastic day!

Wristlets, Oh How Hard You Are to Find…

I am preparing for my final exam for my Driver's Ed course, which I had to take online. (That was real fun! Said no one ever.) In August, I am official able to get my drivers license. I may or may not have a count down clock on my phone… 216 Days!!! 

When I finally get my driver license, I would like to have one of those wallets that can go on your key chains. Most of my friends, who already have their license, either have one of those or a wristlet that they can put their keys on if they want to. Here are some options that I am looking at, from high to low on the price scale. All of them will work great, but I just can't decide which one I will actually use. 

For the pricey ones… to the lower priced ones.  

Salvatore Ferragamo Credit Card Case // $280

Louis Vuitton Key Pouch // $200 

Tory Burch Emerson Foldable Card Case // $115

Gigi New York Embossed Python Phone Wristlet // $110

Coach Embossed Small L-Zip Wristlet // $65 

Mochi Things Ardium Card Key Holder // $24

Vera Bradley ID Zip // $12

There are so many options, but not all of them are versatile or reasonable for what I need them to be. Which one do you think that a high schooler would actually use? Thank you for reading and have a prepsteric day!

Bloomingdale's

I. Love. BLOOMINGDALE'S! I had always heard about Bloomngdale's, normally in the same conversation as such stores as Nordstrom, Saks, etc. But I have never personally shoped at Bloomingdales, well, maybe once in my 15 years. This Christmas my Moma wanted a bubble gum pink (it's not as bad looking as it is described) Large Longchamp Le Plaige. I check on Nordstrom, Bergdorf Goodman's, Neiman Marcus, and every store that sold Longchamp's. The only store that had the color that my Moma wanted was Bloomingdale's. I guess Bloomingdale's saved by butt this Christmas. 

There are so many great brands that Bloomingdale's sells! The ones that none of the stores near me sell, so it is my favorite place just to look and ogle… and maybe drool a little… 

Rouge Allure Gloss // Le Vernis Nail Colour

Chanel
One thing that can always brighten by day is anything Chanel. Chanel lip gloss, nail polish, blush, anything Chanel. At least they have my favorites of Chanel, their blush and lipstick/lip gloss. I have started to fall in love with Chanel nail polish, the colors are so pure and just perfect!

Reva Ballet Flats // York Buckle Tote

Tory Burch 

Oh, how I love Tory Burch, and oh how hard it is to find… It is so nice to finally find a website that just gives me the products that I want to look at with out beating around the bush.

Vara Pumps // Ginny Large Shoulder Bag

Salvatore Ferragamo 

Bows, the one word to describe the fabulousness of Salvatore Ferragamo! They have bows on ballet flats, low heel pumps, even higher pumps, and purses. What more can you ask for from a brand?! 

Gallaway Tote // Shawl Collar Cardigan

Ralph Lauren

Glossy Stain Couture Even Collection // Touche Eclat & Mascara Effect

Yves Saint Laurent/Saint Laurent

I had always heard about Yves Saint Laurent, but honestly I never gave it another thought (beside trying to pronounce "Yves"). After doing some research, i fell in love with YSL! I like their lip gloss stain just as much as I like Chanel's, which is defiantly saying something.

Backpack // Expandable Travel Duffle Tote

Longchamp

I think that a single word can cover my feelings towards Longchamp. LOVE. Longchamp's are always quality and versatile products that will last forever and never go out of style.

Another great part about Bloomingdale's is their Loyalist program, there are no gimmicks, or credit cards to get it. You just sign up and get points for how much you spend (and double points on cosmetics!). If you buy a $25 product, you will get 25 points to your Loyalist account. Easy as that.

What is your favorite store? Nordstrom, Bloomingdale's, Neiman Marcus, or Bergdorf Goodman? Thank you for reading and have a preptastic day!
