FASHION - My Five Most Used Luxury Items.

I have always had a love for designer/luxury items from being young. I used to be subscribed to ELLE magazine when I was 11, that's where I first saw a Chanel Bag and fell in love. I feel like I have quite a strong collection of designer items, which I'm very proud of because I bought every one myself. This post is going to be about my most used luxury items. Hopefully, if you're considering purchasing one of these items it will be helpful to you. I will leave prices of the items now and the price I paid, because if you are thinking of buying one of these items, sometimes it better to buy sooner rather than later because of nasty price increases.

My first, and definitely my most used item is my Louis Vuitton Neverfull MM. I have used this bag everyday since I purchased it. Its my everyday bag, its a big bag which obviously fits quite a lot, which leads to it getting full of rubbish! It really is a great bag, which is probably why you see lots of people who have one. Its canvas (I do think the price is a little crazy for a canvas bag) which makes it very durable. My first day using it I was closing a toilet door and it scraped my bag, which was devastating and it did leave a mark, but you can't even see it any more. I sometimes forget about this if I'm naming my designer bags because its not in the cupboard with them all, its always ready to be chucked over my shoulder.


If I'm not using my Neverfull, I would 9 times out of 10 be reaching for my Celine Nano Luggage. Casual, dressy, my travel bag, to me this bag was worth the hefty price tag after how much use I have gotten out of it. I love carrying it by its top handles and I love the crossbody option for when I need to be hands free. I'd love this bag in nude, its honestly such a great bag and I would 100% recommend this bag to everyone!


Gucci Sneakers. These I have definitely got my moneys worth out of! I love these shoes SO much. So much so, I would repurchase them. They are so comfortable and make any outfit look stylish. I can't even tell you how many times I've worn them! They have been with me to Italy, running around Milan and I wore them in Lisbon also for a long day of exploring. They are leather, so they make your feet sweaty (sorry tmi) just make sure your wearing a little pop sock, that would be the only 'con' of the shoe. I do really really love these shoes and I'm so glad I made the purchase.


Gucci Belt. The medium size in black. I purchased this in February last year and I have wore it so much! It really is a great piece to have. In 2017 I bought the skinny belt in nude which was a nightmare to get hold of, I love that belt also but I've already had so much more wear out of the black one! I love wearing it with dresses, jeans (though the belt loops + the leather on your belt can kinda dint, I just roll the belt up and it will go) It really does spice up a basic outfit, that's why so many people have them!


Valentino Rockstud Sandal 60. I knew I wanted these for a long time before I bought them because I had a bag that matched. I have gotten so much wear out of them, which I knew I would. I got them as my bridesmaid shoes for my brothers wedding, because I didn't want to be in a high heel all day and night, but also knowing I would wear them so much after the wedding. Ive taken them on lots of holidays, they were the only evening shoe I took to Italy with me, so I wore them every night, they came with me to Marrakesh and most recently Dubai. Ive worn them loads in England also. Because of the heel hight they are so versatile. In the 60 in have the nude and I also have the 90 heel hight in black and I would 100% swap them for the 60 if I could! I would own these in every colour if I could. I also purchased the 60 in cream last year. Safe to say I am obsessed this this shoe!
