My First Premier Designer Purse

Louis Vuitton Damier Azur Saleya GM

I enjoy hearing other people's first designer purse story, and I feel that most girls start their handbag collection with a Louis Vuitton. For me I started with "HER"...

When I was 17 a few months before my birthday, I got a part time job working in the pharmacy. I thought that becoming 18 was a big turning point in my life, so I wanted to get myself something nice. Therefore, I saved almost 80% of my paychecks for those few months and I ended up getting the bag way before my birthday. 

At the time I had to choose between this Saleya bag and the Speedy bag. The speedy bag was very popular for girls around my age group, but I wanted something different. So, I choose the Saleya. I like the Saleya because I can use it as a top handle bag, let it hang on my elbow, and use it as a shoulder bag. Unfortunately, they no longer make this bag. Now I think about it, I feel that I made a good choice. I enjoyed this bag very much and I used it in a daily basis. Fortunately, it is still in good condition considering how often I used it.

What about you? What is your story?

Chanel Obsession

This is my first Chanel bag, and my Chanel obsession started with this Chanel Sling bag from the photos below. Until I got this bag, I didn't know what other women are raving about Chanel. Now I know it's truly the ultimate classic bag a woman could wish for. It's elegant, classy, so easy to match with anything, and it will never go out of style. 

(This one is not my bag, I found it over the internet to show a better view of this bag.)

Since I was young I always dream of having a Chanel bag, but I always put off on buying one because of how expensive it is. For my first luxury bag, instead of Chanel I put my hard earn money on a Louis Vuitton When I turned 18. (That is another story for another day.) I can only wish that I should of bought it back then.  The price of the Chanel bag I want is almost double now compare to a few years ago. For the price they sell in the Chanel Boutique and the decreasing quality of their leather and craftsmanship, I am not sure if I will ever want to pay that much for it. (That is just my opinion.) 

That being said, I went for a Preloved Vintage Chanel because it is much more affordable to me. Other than it's more affordable, I do think the quality is much better; the caviar leather is shinier and softer than the caviar leather they produce now, the craftsmanship (this bag is over 15 years old!) and the 22k/24k gold plated hardware they no longer produce. 

So, what do you think? Would you go for a Vintage or would you still prefer the Chanel Boutique experience? 

POSHMARK Come Shop In My Closet Or Create Your Own

Poshmark is an iPhone application which allows you to sell or buy things from people. I had good experiences with this app and I was able to sell a few items. That being said, you are also able to find great deals on this app. (Beware, this app is very addicting. I am an example.)I think this is good for you if you are looking to clean out your closet and to sell your cosmetics. You would be surprised to see what types of stuff people are selling. 

you can visit my closet on this app  by searching my name "oliviachung". (You will need to go to "Feed" and select the search engine under "People" to find a person)

Another option is check out the site on your computer, but some of the functions do not work on the computer.  This is my link -> https://poshmark.com/closet/oliviachung

Come check it out and show your support please :)

If you decided to make your own closet please stop by and let me know it is you, I would love to see your closet and see what goodies you have!

A few things I would like to inform you though. First,  people like do bargain there. So, if you are the type of person who do not like to negotiate you might not like this app. Second, I would stay away from trading because you don't know if you can trust the other person to ship their item. If he/she has a good reputation, that is a different story. Third, replica items do exist on this app. It is like eBay in a way, so I suggest you to do your research and ask for additional pictures. 

One thing I do like about Poshmark is that they will go out of their way to protect their buyers, and I speak from my personal experience. I purchased a Prada bag which was claimed as an authentic, but when I got it I definitely know it was a replica. Thankfully, Poshmark stand by their policys and helped me to get my money back. 

NYC Restaurant Week

Restaurant Week is here!! For those who are not familiar with what it is, it's a promotion that run twice a year in the summer and winter (that's what I remember). During the promotion, you can try out Michelin Star and 5 star restaurants for a fraction of the price compare to what you would have to pay normally. 

I normally take advantage of it, and I already made 2 reservations with my friends and family. I am so excited! :D Wakakakaa

What Is Your Favorite Perfume?

My favorite perfume is the Chloe perfume. This is my all time favorite! I have a lot of perfumes but my hand always reach out to this bottle.  It has a musky floral scent, and it just so addictive. 

Tell me what is your favorite perfume. :)

I do have a complain about this perfume though. The metal part of the bottle will have oxidation after you open the package. The perfume cost a lot of money, I figure they would not have this problem. Maybe this is what they intended to happen? Well... It still smells nice.

 If you have this perfume, do you have the same problem?

Miu Miu Handbags

I was obsessed with Miu Miu for a while until recently...  I had to sell my pervinca Miu Miu to support my love for Chanel. I sold the pervinca one because of the glazed leather material, and decided to keep the dark brown one (I love the brown Miu Miu's leather). Would you have make the same choice as I would?
