pearls and speedys

    So I thought I'd start this blog off by talking about my two favorite things at the moment(well, if we choose not to count my other thousand favorite things). those two things are the very iconic Speedy bag by Louis Vuitton and the ever classic pearl necklace.
    ahhh the speedy! what can i say about this bag that has not already been mentioned by vloggers and bloggers all over the net about a hundred times over? lets see, ive owned more than a few LV bags and my favorite has to be the Speedy(well, at the moment lol). it is so classy, so chic, and so user friendly. Whether dressed up or down, worn with jeans or gown it is a statement peice that literally speaks volumes.
And timeless, did i mention it is timeless?  this bag, not uncommon to a few other Louis Vuitton items will last a lifetime. this bag can be past down from generation to generation and never lose its flare. and why wouldnt you love a bag that allows you to choose the pattern(mono or Damier), color, material(canvas or leather), or size?
     And the best part? because this bag is so timeless, if you so choose to you can purchase a pre-loved speedy for a very good price. and with character to boot as the leather will have already oxidized and changed to a lovely honey or deeper caramel color. We'll get into where and how to purchase pre-loved goods in another post, i could literally go on forever since finding vintage luxury goods is a favorite hobby of mine. it makes the heart go pitter patter .

     And if you are a lady like myself who loves to mix old and new, and dressy with casual then you'd understand the feeling i get when i slip on a pair of jeans and a fitted cotton T with my speedy bag and a pearl necklace. OMG!!!!! amazing. so simple and yet classy. and whether you pair this ensemble with a classic pump or ballerina flats i promise you will turn heads. you will demand attention in an understated way that oozes confidence and sex appeal. am i making this up? i dont know. you have to slip on a pair of jeans and a fitted T to find out. dont forget your pearls and caramel speedy.
Coco Chanel popularized wearing a little black dress with layered pearl necklacesok so shes not wearing jeans and a T, but if i had anyone in mind as i thought about draping my neck in pearls, it was Coco Chanel.
