Hey Beautifuls! I hope your are all well and enjoying the UK sun, I've heard lots about it on here and Twitter. I have been so ill with a sickness bug these past two days that I haven't done anything other than hang my head over the toilet or lay around feeling sorry for myself. How lovely? Thankfully I'm feeling slightly better now so I can get back to blogging as I have lots to share with you. My Dad, Step Mum and two little brothers returned from their holiday in Hong Kong yesterday and I was over the moon to see them. I actually burst into tears when they got home as I'd missed having them around and have felt so ill for the past couple of days that I just needed some good old fashioned TLC. Your probably wondering why I didn't go on holiday with them but the reason for that is because my trip to Oz was quite a last minute thing so they had already booked their trip before we arranged for me to come over. It sounds like they had an amazing time though and they said the shopping there is out of this world. They even had a H&M and Zara which I was quite surprised to hear. Maybe I will have to add Hong Kong to my list of places to go and visit. Anyway, as you may have guessed from the pictures above, they decided to treat me (massively) to a Louis Vuitton handbag. Seriously, I am beyond shocked. Now I realise Louis Vuitton bags might not be to everyones taste but I personally love them and have wanted one for a while now. I always go on about how much I love them on Twitter and after seeing my friends I instantly fell in love. I just love how classic they are, the fact they go with pretty much any outfit and in my opinion, a bag like this will never date. It is one of those classic items that will last for years. When my dad passed me the parcel, in an 'Aldi' bag might I add (what a joker), I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the Louis Vuitton logo inside. Now don't think I'm bragging or anything by showing you this, I'm just so excited about it that I had to share. I realise these bags are expensive so I would never be able to buy one of these myself. Lets face it, with a student overdraft still hanging over my head, I barely have enough money to treat myself at Topshop. I have never owned a bag this expensive in my life so I am going to treat it with much tender loving care. Trust me, I'm not a spoilt brat who gets bought designer handbags on a regular basis. If anything, I'm the opposite and this was a one off. My dad and Step mum have tried justifying their generosity by saying because I looked after the house and their five animals for the week they were away, I deserved a treat. I realise thats not the best reason to spoil me as I didn't mind doing it anyway but I suppose it made me feel slightly better about accepting such an expensive gift. Feeding and cleaning five animals was a bit of a nightmare for me as I'm not the biggest animal lover going. Of course I think they are cute to look at but when it comes to cleaning and feeding three dogs, a cat and a bird, I'd rather give it a miss. Shovelling poo and scooping vile smelling dog food from tins is definitely not for me. Yack. Anyway, I hope you love my new bag as much as I do. I am so so so so so grateful for it and I will cherish it forever.
I hope you all had a lovely weekend and caught some rays.
you don't sound like your bragging at all, youve got something youve wanted for a long time and want to show people that's what a blogs for :o) I think is a lovely thing from them to get you. hope you look after it! ;) xxx

Beautiful bag, I could never justify spending the money on one! You're lucky you only had to look after 5 animals, when my mum goes away every year I have to look after 34 all by myself! - and I do it for nothing! Haha.
ReplyDeleteKaty xo.

It looks so beautiful, I have the speedy too it's such a classic bag. The leather on mine has just begun to oxidise (Had it around 6 months) I'm not sure how I feel about it as it dosnt look so fresh no more with the handles turning brown. Little tip for you...clean the handles with baby wipes they work a treat at removing marks from tan ect. Xx
ReplyDeleteThe name OMEGA made it’s debut in 1894, as louis vuitton wallets was used as the name of one of the Brandt brother’s watch movement calibers.Both Brandt brothers died in 1904, placing the fate of the company in the control of four young people, cheap omega watches the oldest of which, Paul-Emile Brandt, was only 23 years of age.

ReplyDeleteLouis Vuitton bags
Ah seeing the pale leather on that bag brings back so many memories of buying mine (sad I know right!) I got mine on the 29th of May 2012 and I wouldn't be without it! They're such a classic bag and I'm a HUGE Louis Vuitton fan. In fact, I just like designers in general - there's something more satisfying about a designer product! I hope you love your bag as much as I love my Speedy 35 in Monogram - <3 xxxx
