💍 5 Luxury Items I Can’t Live Without

Hi there! How was your Thanksgiving? Did you wake up super early to score some good deals?

Since it's Black Friday I thought it would be fun to do a post on some of my favorite items I've ever purchased. I saw this tag making its way around YouTube and it got me thinking about luxury items I personally love and would 100% recommend. (Obviously I don’t “need” any of these things, but they are “nice to haves”.)

Handbag-

Louis Vuitton Neverfull GM in Damier Ebene Canvas

This was my wedding gift from my husband in 2009 and over 10 years later it still looks brand new. It is pricey for canvas, but it lives up to its name “never full”. The dark leather never gets any sort of marks or stains, the bright red interior makes it very easy to locate things inside it, and the two straps on the sides of the bag cinch in to make it a smaller “city bag” when I don’t have much to "tote" around. This Louie is hands down the best handbag I’ve ever owned.

Accessory-

Alexander McQueen Skull Scarf

A fun accessory to spruce up any outfit and very practical for traveling or on a chilly evening. I love the iconic print and how it adds a little edge to my otherwise classic look.

Shoes-

Kate Spade Taxi Flats

OK, so these might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but they’re funky and fun and a sure fire way to put a smile on someone’s face. I cannot even tell you the compliments I receive when I wear these and they’re comfortable too! They’re the perfect pair of shoes to spice up an ordinary outfit.

Jewelry-

Tiffany & Co Return to Tiffany Heart Bracelet

This was such a hard category for me to choose just one item because I LOVE jewelry! But if I had to pick...

A Christmas gift from my parents (aka Santa) in high school, I recently took it to Tiffany’s and had it polished and deep cleaned and it looks brand new! I love how it matches everything and is such a classic piece. I love Tiffany’s and silver and all things hearts!

Miscellaneous-

Cartier Carat Perfume

I am a perfume fanatic and am never not wearing any. I put some on getting ready in the morning, again before bed and I usually carry a purse spray in my handbag. This scent is Cartier’s newest and a personal favorite. It’s the perfect way to wear some Cartier every day without breaking the bank! ;-)

Thanks for reading, have a fabulous day. :)

🎁 Wedding Gift Ideas

Weddings are so much fun, but they can also be a bit stressful. What am I going to wear? Which table will I be seated at? What am I going to give as a gift? Fear not, I have gifts covered in this post! David and I have had a few weddings this year and that got me thinking about unique gift ideas.

For the couple that isn’t registered and you don’t feel comfortable giving cash, here’s what I’ve come up with:

Tiffany bone China paper cups-$110

This playful set of cups are made in Japan from fine China, but are made to resemble paper cups! What a fun way for the happy couple to start each morning with their cup of Joe.

Waterford Chip & Dip-$150

An entertaining necessity that no one really thinks about. Chip and dip servers are such a retro gift idea, but very useful. The large plate doubles as a serving platter, and classic Waterford crystal matches nearly anyone’s kitchen decor.

Kate Spade “Mr & Mrs” picture frame-$85

A beautiful piece that is a wonderful way to display the couple’s wedding photo. This was one of my favorite gifts I received for my wedding and is so timeless.

His and Hers passport covers-Varies

There’s tons of personalized options on Etsy, and such a fun idea if the couple is traveling internationally for their honeymoon.

Experiences-Priceless ;-)

Although not tangible, I think gifts that a couple can experience together are a great idea! Some ideas I have are an overnight hotel stay at a local hotel for a staycation, a wine tasting, a romantic dinner at a nice restaurant, a couples massage, or even a donation on the couple’s behalf to a charity near to their heart. These gifts fit nicely in a card and are easy to mail, no need to gift wrap!

I hope that helps get the wheels turning for you if you have any lovebirds to celebrate. Do you have any unique wedding gift ideas? Anything you were excited to receive at your own wedding? Let me know down below, I love hearing from you.

Thanks for reading, have a fabulous day. :)
