My collection - Louis Vuitton Speedy 35

After I got my LV agenda, I decided to save up for my very first designer bag. I was in LoVe with the multicolor speedy, thanks to Jessica Simpson. But being a student with a part time job, I could only dream of that bag. My 2nd favorite was the monogram speedy 30, I saw a lot of celebs with that bag and loved it! I was pretty sure the 30 was the right size for me.

After months of saving I went to the Louis Vuitton store in Antwerpen. It was on carnaval monday, I hate carnaval. People put themselves in crazy costumes, get drunk and act like fools. So, I fled the country to buy my new baby!!

In the store I was very dissapointed when I saw the speedy 30, it was so small! The SA showed me the 35, it was perfect! I pulled out a envelope with money (since I didn't know about the debet-card situation back then ;) ), paid and walked out with the biggest smile ever!
I still love this bag, I love the shape and I love it when it sags a bit. This bag can be worn casual or dressed up, and since it is such a classic model (Audrey Hepburn had one!) it will never go out of style!

The light vachetta is more of a honey, maybe a dark honey brown. I think I like it better that way, it looks used and loved.

I have a couple of bags, but this is definitely one of my favorites!

My collection - Louis Vuitton Multicolor Agenda

Tada! This is my very first designer item, and the only one that I didn't pay for myself.
May I present to you my wonderfull Louis Vuitton agenda! I got this as a high school graduation gift from my parents, there is a fun story behind it..
I was in Paris with my friend and her parents, by that time I allready fell for Louis Vuitton but could not afford it at all! While walking on the Champs Elysee we were stopped by and Asian couple, asking us to buy them 2 bags and 2 wallets at the Vuitton store. My friends' father agreed to do it, so the couple gave us both 900 euro's in cash (!!). They told us what bag to get and that we could pick the wallet out ourselves (seriously??!!). We had to split up, I went in with my friends' father, she went in with her mother. I was so a bit nervous inside, thought it was a scam and we would end up in jail lol! You never know, right?

Anyway, in the store I saw this agenda and said: that is going to be my graduation present!

We made it out of the store alive, with a fun and weird experience. Coming home I told my parents about the agenda. They have no clue about designer stuff, so they didn't know about the price. But they agreed on getting the agenda for me.

So when I graduated, my parents, that same friend and her parents went to Amsterdam to Louis Vuitton. I looked rediculous, wearing a bright yellow trenchcoat and pink fake uggs. But back then, I thought I looked fabulous!

My mom and dad don't own a creditcard, and they asumed they could just use their debet cards at the store. I was sure you could only pay cash or with a creditcard (I just learned about a year ago that you can also pay with a normal debet card!) so my mom and dad went on a hunt for the nearest ATM. When they came back I had to fill in a card with my info, they had these cheap BIC pens in the store. My dad made a comment that imbarresed me so much, but thinking back..I think he had a point! He was saying out loud that it is stupid that they use these cheap plastic pens to write with when you are buying such expensive products! They could have atleast had a Parker pen there, they are maybe 20 euro's?

I'm not sure if they still have the BIC pens ;) .

Fast forward 5 years, I still use my agenda every day. The leather is darker and has some water spots, but thats no problem for me. It was my first item and it is very special to me. I still love it to pieces!

H&M and Shopbop order

A while back I was cleaning out my closet and came to the following conclusion..I have no cute summer clothes! Today I placed an H&M order, and 2 days ago I orderded the cute Tory Burch Reva Flats on Shopbop.com.

My last couple of H&M orders where quite dissapointing, so I hope these clothes and shoes will fit me and look cute on!





SATC; Suzanne and the City

Guess where I'm going..

In 151 days I will be stepping foot in the greatest city in the world! Yes baby, my BF and I are going to New York!! We have been there once before, it was 5 years ago. That was actually our first holiday together. We had such a good time, ate donuts and drank gatorade..it was a-ma-zing!

Offcourse New York is know for being a great city to shop, so I started saving like crazy!! I allready finished my Tiffany&co. wishlist! I also plan on buying LOTS of make-up (MAC here I come!!) and offcourse Ugg boots! MAC and Ugg are much cheaper in the US of A, can't wait!!

In the near future I will show more wishlists and our plans, I love planning our trips!

Yay for NYC!!
