When specific holidays and milestones are approaching, I don't hint at the items I'm interested in. Instead, I make sure to give very strong suggestions, complete with photos, reviews, and links. Leading up to this past Christmas and my January 6th birthday, I sent my husbae photos of many many crossbody/camera bags. The top two on my list were the Gucci "GG Marmont" small shoulder bag and the Saint Laurent round "Vinyle Matelassé " leather crossbody bag.
Christmas and my birthday came and went and neither of these beauties had been gifted to me. Which was fine! I received some amazing Christmas and birthdays gifts so I was completely satisfied.
As red balloons, pink hearts, and roses filled display windows and store shelves, I focused my attention on what I would get my valentine for his birthday, which is on February 14th. I make it appoint to make the 14th about him, because we can celebrate our love on any day.
To my surprise Damien decided he wanted to give me a big gift on valentines day. He handed me a huge bag, with a huge box inside. When I had gotten through the beautifully wrapped gift, I discovered a white, black, and beige "Rive Gauche" Saint Laurent tote. I gasped! I am a crossbody bag girl all day, but when I saw this lovely piece in linen and leather I was- gone!
I screamed "Babe this is a summer vacation bag, Saint-Tropez me, please!!! He laughed and said "You can either get a trip or a bag, but you can't have both!" Dame went into to explain that he knew the tote was outside of my norm, but he wanted me to try something different. He also said he looked forward to seeing me style it, which I thought was very cute.
Here are some photos from my first time wearing, The bag I never knew I wanted.
It's so chic! I can't wait to take her out on the town or maybe to the beach. I'm thinking cream or tan flowy or draped oversized summer dress with huge black sunglasses. Sounds so yummy! If you love the bag as much as I do, and want to snag one for yourself, here's the link. How would you style it? Let me know in the comments.
