Bag Review: Michael Kors Grayson Medium Logo Satchel

Hi, I'm Nadia and I have a problem with loving designer purses and occasionally buying them.

For the longest time, I've been extremely loyal to Coach. I got my first one when I was about 14.
My mom had given me a small burgendy edition with a dark leather strap and little did I know, my favorite hobby had just begun.

Nowadays, I've branched out a little to Michael Kors and Marc Jacobs. Don't get me wrong- if I had the scrilla to buy Prada, Louis Vuitton, or Chanel, I WOULD. Buuuut I'm a normal girl who makes normal money, so let's just be real here.

Right now, I've renewed my love with this satchel that I got about a year ago. It's actually really roomy and durable. It's great for nice dinners and I have to say, I'm really impressed with the gold plating- none of it has worn down. Honestly, the straps will probably be the first thing that'll start to fall apart, but so far so good. Even if you're having a casual, laid back kinda day, this purse adds just enough polish to bring everything together. 

I'm sure a lot of you will notice the similarity and look-alike between the MK Grayson Satchel and the Louis Vuitton Speedy.  MK has a really nice selection of well-made bags for a waaaaay better price, so this was my way of fulfilling a small dream of rocking the Speedy one day.  :-)

My only word of caution is to not over stuff it. Now that's not because the bag can't handle it, rather because the crook of your elbow might not! Of course, this is the style of the bag, so you should probably already be prepared for that.

All in all, this is great, fun bag, and I give it an A-.

SEPHORA- Need I say more?!

If I could live at Sephora, I think I would.  Just make sure there's some sort of food stand right outside the door and I'm good to go!

Now, I don't want to sound like a snob or anything, but I do get most of my makeup from Sephora.  Before you judge me, hear me out! 

My skin is really sensitive and I tend to get bad acne and dry spots, so I try to use higher end products that I know have good ingredients, are cruelty free, and help with my skin.  If I can buy drugstore makeup or beauty products, I definitely will.  Like mascara and lip gloss?  Girl, Walgreens is where it's at.  But I'm not hear to talk about makeup in particular today (that is a whole other post to come!)- it's about Sephora sales and how awesome they are!!

Right now they're doing 3 nail polishes from Sephora by OPI for $10!!!!  Did you hear me?!?!  3 polishes for 10 bucks!!  So you better go and get it while supplies last...haha, sorry I had to say it like that.

National Sister Day- Belated!! My bad!!

I totally remembered this day for Facebook and Instagram, but didn't even think to make a post on my blog about it!  Terrible, I know.  :-P

Today's post is dedicated to my little sister!!

I don't want to ramble, but long story short, my aunt and uncle raised me starting when I was 8 years old.  When I moved in with them, they already had their first child- a sweet, cute, annoying little girl.  haha

Oh you know.  Just takin' pics in my closet.

 

Throughout the years, she and I have gone from sharing the same bedroom to living cities away from each other.  There are times when we share everything with one another and there are times when we go weeks without speaking, but you know what?  Regardless of how often we actually talk, we know that there's always gonna be something between us: sisterly love. 

 

Even though she's actually my cousin, we were raised as sisters...so that's how I view her.  As my BABY SISSY.  *tear*

She's growing up so fast, (look out Seattle!!  We've got another crazy teen driver on the road!), and just has this crazy personality, and is turning into a beautiful little lady.

 

So here's to you Butt Munch.  Love ya!  XOXO

Michael Kors- How I HEART Thee!

Remember when we were kids and having a Rugrats Velcro wallet was the thing?  I mean, you knew you were legit if you were carrying one of those...or maybe that was just all in my 7 year old head. haha

Well, I am that 7 year old no more...I FINALLY got myself a big girl wallet!!  I can't even begin to describe how excited I am.  :-)

Say hello to my beautiful little friend.

Check it out online!

 

I'm sooo happy with this purchase!  My new wallet is made of saffiano leather and has golden hardware.  It actually fits quite a bit of change and is really durable.  This wallet comes in different colors, but I went with black just because it's so classic and will go with any handbag that I use.

 

Definitely recommend this to any of you gals who are wallet shopping!!
