Louis. Leather. Leopard.

Happy Monday guys! This weekend I worked on a commercial and also spent some time creating my own handbag — a project I’ve been brainstorming for at least a year now. I can’t wait to share it with you all. But speaking of handbags…I thought this outfit was the perfect time to pull out one of my all time thrifting faves (also seen here) — this Louis Vuitton Le Sac Plat bag in Epi Leather was something I picked up for less than $1.

Oh, and I’m happy to debut these leopard print ballet flats — not that I needed another pair of leopard print calf hair shoes (see others here, here, and here) — but I stalked these babies the entire summer because I refused to buy them for the full retail price of $118. I had originally spotted them at $78, but had failed to buy them when I under estimated length of sale around Memorial Day. So, not one to forgo a deal, while perusing the Labor Day sales I came across them for $68 — FINALLY! I immediately jumped on them, and even bought a duplicate pair — something I had never done before. But tell me what you think….were they worth the wait?

[…] money to splurge on it when it was in the stores. One of my favorite items was this leather-like Zara peplum top that I got for $26.10. If you’re still a little weary, my advice is to go over the provided pics […]
