My Go-To Classic Black (Gucci) Bag ...

SO I'm sure if you are a constant reader of the blog, you realize my obsession with Gucci. I needed a classic black shoulder bag, that can transition from day to night. I LOVE the Chanel boy bag, but for now, I have to keep dreaming with that one (as it's 2X as much as I wanted to spend).

I wanted a bag that was a timeless- with the hype of Gucci, I went straight to their bags- duh! I have a Givenchy Antigona Mini in black, but it's not big enough for everyday. I also didn't want a bag that scream the brand's name, like, I know I would get sick of the "double G" print all over. You may not always be able to tell, but I like to keep it subtle (not to flashy) when it comes to my bags. I was debating between 2 Gucci bags...

... but the way I carry my bags, the suede would just not hold up over time.

Now lets get to some of the outfits...

You can shop the bag here at Neimans!

This was a fabulous investment that works for every occasion and every season (even though we don't have many seasons in LA)!! 

You will notice a lot of my clothes are from Missguided, they have great prices for those nights you will only wear that outfit once or some great basic dresses that are easy to throw on. Nasty Gal used to be my go to shop, but once they sold out Missguided is where I turn! I love mixing expensive pieces with lower price ones!

Which outfit is your fave?

My Fave Shoes of the Summer (and no they're not sandals)

Life is Gucci.

Well we can thank Gucci (well the creative director, Alessandro Michele) for making Gucci happen again. When you have all the fashion influencers and rappers decked out in Gucci, you know its a Gucci Revolution. Now I'm sure you've seen the Gucci Princetown Slippers at least once a day scrolling thru your Instagram feed or even (in my case) walking thru Beverly Hills. I must say I definitely got my money's worth from them as I'm wear them at least 1-2 a week, and am legit DYING for another pair. I have the original black leather ones, as I don't wear a lot of color. Once the classic horse-bit leather flew off the shelves, Gucci started to release more colors, more prints, some with fur, some suede, and more. In addition, Givenchy and Hermes came out with there own form of the shoe; confirming that this was the shoe trend of the summer! Usually black shoes are to heavy on my foot as I'm very petite, but not these.

On my wishlist:

On another note: I walked into the Gucci store on Rodeo the other day as I wanted the double G buckle belt to match, and as I ventured over to the belts, she goes "don't even ask, we don't have the belt in any small sizes and there is a waitlist" - I mean a waitlist for a belt, thats crazy! Then I overhead someone ask if they have anything on sale, and the sales associate responded, "we don't do sales anymore because we don't need to" - which is beyond true.

Collab: Fear of God x Vans :: Styled 2 Different Ways!

It seems as if many brands are now collaborating an forming this "hype" (hypebeast) or a group of street stylers. The biggest one this year was definitely the Louis Vuitton x Supreme. Some others were; obviously, Fear of God x Vans, Off White x Nike, Guess x A$AP Rocky, Alexander Wang x Adidas. Trying to cop these exclusive collaboration require either waiting in lines that are miles long, paying resale (which could be 200% up sell) or having a "plug".  Drive down Fairfax and there is ALWAYS a line at the Supreme store, BAPE is going up on Melrose and I'm sure the line will look quite similar. The limited edition and hard to get your hands on items, make it that much more exclusive. I know some of you are thinking "why hasn't she mentioned YEEZY's?" as I believe Kanye's Yeezy's made way for these collabs- but don't worry, I'll get to that in another post.

I was able to get my hands on the Fear of God x Vans shoes, which I love, and am very excited for the second Fear of God x Van's that is coming out in December (as Jerry Lorenzo - the designer of Fear of God) has confirmed and even has put some teaser pics on the brands instagram. I am a size 6 in women's shoes, and much like the Yeezy's they only come in mens sizes, so I am a mens size 5 - which makes it even harder.

Anyway, I have styled them 2 diff ways. One for a casual day at work or chill vibe for the weekend. The second is inspired by Kylie Jenner, that she wore out to a club in Miami.  You will see that I also have a Goyard Bag- which I have had for 3 years, but now EVERYONE has it, and is now part of the street style hype look. They even just opened a store on Rodeo, which is by appointment only!

Also, when buying these collaborations, you must be very careful, as even on EBAY there are a lot of fakes out there! And yes, even if they show the receipt - trust me it has happened to me.
