Let's Talk Quiet Luxury

and a few pieces I'm coveting

I know it costs an arm and a leg but I would feel remiss not to highlight The Row coat that I purchased last year. I rarely post about it on other platforms because it is so and I’ll get too much heat, but for my sartorialists out there, trust me when I say you “need” this.

Don’t stress: I made a super similar version that will be launching on Wyeth this October. So save your savings for my far less pricey version coming soon!

While we’re at it, I also very recently purchased this Toteme Rain Jacket while I was in New York. I’d been eyeing it online for months and when I tried it on I literally walked out of the store with it which is usually my rule for making a new purchase.

Last but not least, I’m saving up for the Park bag by The Row. I know, I know. But I’ve really been buying in to this whole “quiet luxury” thing. I haven’t been carrying any of my louder designer bags, rather only investing in and carrying Bottega Veneta and The Row. I also haven’t even been in to wearing any of my jewelry lately.

Recently, I have really been feeling stripped down, wearing less make-up and making less loud purchases. Not that there is anything quiet about spending $3,800 on a Bottega bag {which I recently did here}, but it doesn’t scream Chanel or Dior in the same way if you know what I mean.

Speaking of The Row, I’ve have really been eyeing The Park Bag.

Should I get it in black or dark brown? Ooh or maybe brown. I’m kinda leaning toward brown. I have the small Park in ivory and I absolutely love it but worry the larger size won’t be great in ivory.

I’ll tell you what I want, what I really, really want. It’s the Bottega Veneta Cabat Medium which is such an insane purchase that I’ve been debating for years. I don’t have the bandwidth (LOL at myself) to purchase it right now. If I were smart, I would put myself on a spending freeze from buying anything and everything and save up for several months. But I’m not smart and I’ll keep drooling over it until I finally make the impulse purchase one day that will inevitably give me a big purchase hangover the following day.

I really like you guys on here. It feels like what my blog used to feel like when I started it back in 2011. This feels like a more raw, honest and safe space for friends to connect over their love of fashion.

Thank you for being here and sharing this space with me.
