CELINE MINI LUGGAGE IN ALMOND SMOOTH LEATHER

My very first Celine purchase. I am so so excited b/c I thought really long and hard about this. I had ordered 2 different Celine bags from California Barneys and Neimans to see them in person and choose which one I love more. Ultimately, I ended up returning both and exchanging it for a Celine mini in almond smooth leather, which I am totally obsessed with. The color is perfect and I realized that it is the color that Hilary Duff has been toting recently. The reason I wanted the Celine was after I saw Hilary Duff carry hers. I did some internet research and it had been posted that she was carrying it in Dune, which was not true. The Celine luggage that Hilary Duff carries as can be seen the photo below is the mini in almond smooth leather. 

Surprisingly, the mini is not that heavy and obviously can fit many many things in it. I usually travel light so I don't know what I would put in it, but regardless it is a great statement bag and I hope I can enjoy it for years and years to come like I have been with my Chanel flap bag. 

My first Lanvin purchase

I went to an outlet mall today to help the BF pick out a snowboarding outfit for his little brother. Mind you, my unofficial new years resolution was to spend less money, but there were SO many great sales on Net-a-Porter this week plus clearance on all Neiman x Target products so that resolution was easily broken.

The last few times I went to an outlet mall, it was pretty disappointing and most of the time I came back home with nothing. So I went without much expectation, and purely just to get out of the house and enjoy the ugly weather that is New England winter. 

However, this time Barneys outlet was having an extra 70% sale on select items. I wasn't going to stop in, but it was on our way to our car so why not. 

Lo and behold below is what I was able to grab at $100 (originally $899). It was too good of a deal to pass up and the baby blue Lanvin box just sealed the deal for me. Plus I can't walk in high heals so this platform, while it is chunky looking, is perfect to give the illusion of longer legs when worn with shorts. 

Can't wait for summer so I can wear them out! 

DITTO.com

I had to blog about DITTO.com because I was so impressed with their service and my experience with them, granted once, has been superb. I think DITTO is a fairly new online retailer that specializes in selling sunglasses and prescription glasses. They have a great selection from Alexander Wang, Chloe, Ray-ban (of course), Persol, etc. etc...

Side story: I had recently ordered a pair of Illesteva sunglasses from Net-A-Porter, which I ended up returning because the frames were crooked and the Illesteva logo that was printed on the sunglasses case was fading as if they had been used and returned. So of course I had to go and search for another pair, which is how I came across this website. 

Once you log on to DITTO.com you will find many ways to earn up to $50 in credits by liking them on Twitter and Facebook, signing up, etc. (For some reason I wasn't able to receive $10 credit I was supposed to get by using their face recognition program, but you all might be able to.) So already I was happy with my purchase due to the discount.

I wish I had pictures from before I opened the plastic wrap, but oh well, I was too excited to finally receive my sunglasses and this blog thing is too new for me that I didn't even think to take a picture of it until minutes into opening my parcel. Here it is:  

Aren't they perfect? I was totally sold on the red white and black packaging and the fact that it was shrink wrapped made it even bette, because I think it just makes the product seem even newer, if that makes any sense. I also like how the Illesteva case that came this time around is a brown leather as opposed to black when I ordered them through Net-A-Porter (it might be because I had ordered them in black lizard as opposed to Havana? Who knows). But I am completely obsessed with my new sunglasses as well as DITTO.com and I cannot wait to wear these come winter break in CANCUN! :)

PS. They're running a promo right now 30% off $100+ , 40% off $200+, 50% off $300+! So get shopping!

How cute are these pillboxes
