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!

The Perfect Make-Up Bag?

My eternal struggle, trying to find the perfect make-up bag. I have never been able to find a makeup bag that is small, yet fit all my make up that I need. I mean I don't wear much makeup, but its when I travel I need all of the little things that I might need. 

There are certain things that I need in a make up bag.
1) It has to fit in a suite case.
2) It has to be able to clean up well.
3) It would be preferable if it was pretty.

I don't think that my requirements are to much to ask, do you? Here are a few make up bags that I have found:

Kate Spade Shelby Drive Large Marit 

Tory Burch Travel Nylon Double-Zip Cosmetic Case 

Ralph Lauren Gallaway Cosmetic Case

Longchamp Le Pliage Cosmetic Case

Ted Baker Cosmetic Case 

(Psssss. This one is my favorite one! ;) )

I have pretty much given up hope for finding a perfect makeup bag for me. But I am always open to suggestions. I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas and a happy New Year! Thank you for reading and have a preptastic day!

Perfect Totes for Summer!

Summer is fast approaching and I am starting to look for summer totes that I can take from the pool to brunch. So here are some classics and some not so classics:

The L.L. Bean Boat and Tote 

I did a post about the Boat and Tote last summer. I use mine all the time!!! My family had two of the Extra-large ones for the pool. I have a Large size one in red and I am looking to get a large size one is blue also. They are so versatile and sturdy that my parents still have some that they bought before I was born. They are great at the beach, the pool and for summer travel. They hold a lot and aren't that balky. I do recommend getting the longer straps if you are going to carry it as a purse or tote bag. 

Longchamp Le Pliage

I carry my Longchamp EVERYWHERE!! I took it to Italy and I carry it everyday to school. It is big enough for a laptop, big enough for a beach towel, and it can fold up for travel, what more could you ask for. I did a post about my Longchamp late last year.

Downing Tote in English Saddle

I just love J.Crew! I have said it a thousand times, and I will say it a million more. This bag is great for travel and the beach. It is also classic and timeless which is always great so you can use it for multiple seasons and years. 

Vineyard Vine's Classic Tote

Anything Vineyard Vines = Anything preppy. Simple arithmitic. The VV tote is smaller than most, but can hold a lot of stuff. beach towel maybe not, but everything else for the beach, definitely   

Tory Burch York Buckel Tote in Luggage

More on the expensive side, but still a classic. I would not take this to the beach, but as a travel tote definitely.  

Cedar Street Medium Harmony in bluebell

Another more expensive bag, but also a classic. This would hold a laptop and would be easy to travel with. Great for summer shopping so that you could hold all your purchases. 

I hope that everyone is as excited about summer as I am! What is your go to summer tote? Thank you for reading and have a preptastic day!!

My Favorite Flats and Heels

Being a short person you would think that I would naturally lean towards heels because they would even me out with everyone else, but that is not so true. I have sprained my ankles one to many times, I have seen that when I wear heels my ankles starts to hurt sooner then normal peoples do. then my ankles start to swell and that is not a pretty picture at all! So that is why I love a pretty pair of flats! Patterned, solid colored; suede, patten leather; you name it I will most likely love it. Here are a few of my favorite pairs of flats and my favorite pairs of heels:

Flats:

Viv Mirror Metallic Bow Flats

Kiki Ballet Flats in Belvedere Red

Derby Velvet Metallic-trim Loafers in black

Reva Ballet Flats in Black/Gold

Gavana Flats in Black

Heels:

Everly Suede Pumps in Vivid Fuchsia

Kat Kitten Heel in Pop Pink

Valentina Patent D'Orsay Pumps in Acropolis Blue

Sloane Velvet Crisscross Pumps in Black

Amy Pumps in Black/Gold

Karoline Bow Heels in Petal Pink 

Which do you prefer: flats or heels? Thank you for reading and have a preptastic day!

Tory Burch Reva's

So I wore my Tory Burch Reva's today, so I thought why not write a post about them.

Classic Reva Ballet Flats

These are the pair of Reva's that I have. I love them so much. I have had them for three years and I have gotten so much use out of them. 

Tumbled Leather Reva Ballet Flats

My Moma has these pairs so I steal them some time. I love these too!!! 

Polished Patent Reva Ballet Flats

Come on I had to add a pink pair!! :) 

Amy Pumps

These aren't Reva's but I just love them so much. Thank you for reading and have a great day!
