My lovely friend Fritzie asked me if I have a wish list for this year, when I posted my top 5 for 2019, and do I ever! My only problem with my wish list is narrowing it down to what goes onto it, and the fact it’s ever changing with what I add to it! I do feel social media is bad for me in this regard, sometimes my self-control is more than a little lacking! I have a few items that are on my kind of, I’d love one of those, lists, but are probably a longer term goal, rather than in the near future, like a Cartier love bracelet. My wish list is also a bit longer this year as there are a few items carried over, that I either couldn’t find, still haven’t found, or found at the end of 2019. Two of these should hopefully be arriving fairly soon.
I also probably have a more abstract list of things I’d like to add to my collection generally, for eg, I’d like to add more slg’s, and some more jewellery pieces to give me some more variety, I spoke in my last post about adding some more brooches, maybe a more classic style than those I currently have. But on to the wish list! I would probably actually be embarrassed to admit how much thought I’ve given this, and also by how much is on it, but I’ll continue in the spirit of no judgement!!
The first item is without doubt, a Chanel mini rectangle in the purple chevron, with the light gold hardware. This one was easy, I have wanted to add this bag to my collection for the longest time, but cannot find it. I have a few personal shoppers trying to source it, but also without any joy. I actually had this bag when it first came out in the medium classic flap, although I prefer the mini, and it was transferred from a store in London to Dublin. My SA there had to phone me up and tell me she couldn’t sell it to me, as it was damaged. I was devastated! I have been trying to find it ever since. No joy as of yet, but hopefully one day!
Sticking with Chanel, I have been in love with the graffiti mini reissue ever since I watched the unboxing on fashionably Amy’s channel. I love this bag, I think it is amazing, and striking and such a statement piece. I personally prefer the iridescent version to the gold, but nevertheless, have been hooked ever since.
The last Chanel mini on my wish list ( at the moment!) is the rose gold unicorn that is just beautiful. The love for this grew from seeing it on Instagram, and it just keeps growing!
( Do I expect to get all of these mini’s this year, no, but a girl can wish!).
The final Chanel bag I am hooked on, is the trendy cc in a cream/beige neutral colour. I think this is stunning, and would add a different silhouette to my collection. I would also love to add a tweed mini at some stage, but that is probably more of a distant wish, although you never know as I can be so impulsive! I really need to try and get a handle on how impulsive I can be when it comes to buying luxury items, I think I need therapy!
Sticking with handbags, but moving on to my other favourite house, Louis Vuitton. Aahhh, Louis Vuitton, the first luxury love of my life. I love the monogram print of this house, I know there are very differing views on this, and its fabulousness is attacked by the cheap fakes that flood the market, but oh how I love it. My first luxury handbag was my LV Neverfull in the GM, in the monogram canvas. I will always be a Neverfull girl, and the first LV purchase on my wish list is a new Neverfull, same size and same canvas. I adore this bag and will always have it my collection, but I have learnt a lot since buying this first one, and will look after the new purchase (when it comes!) much better than the first.
The other LV item which I am sure is on many wish lists, is the LV mini palm springs backpack. I’m not much of a backpack girl, and would envisage using this as a cross body bag more than a backpack. I love the design, and feel it would be a great addition, though I am seriously considering the world tour version. I always liked the patches version of the pochette metis, but ended up going for the classic monogram, but buying a bag charm with the LV heart. I still haven’t gotten over adding a different version of a classic though, and keep being drawn back to the world tour. I appreciate it isn’t a great option if re-sale is a consideration, but it is very attractive to me.
Beyond bags, I have a few specific items I would like to add to my collection and have made the wish list. I am in love with the CHA NEL logo drop earrings, and have those on my list. I also want to add a pair of designer trainers, and am fairly certain these will be the Gucci ace version.
I feel like this is such a lot to be lusting after! It is however a wish list, and we are allowed to dream and obsess over our dream purchases! So those are the items that most run riot around my brain when I think over my next purchase, or spend time on Instagram drooling over the prettiness!
Thank you very much for being here and reading, and I hope to see you here again soon,
