I was bored in class yesterday, and thought I would tally up the total amount of money I have spent on luxury bags/shoes/accessories over my life...and guess what I came up with?

$2,000? NO

$3,000? NO

Try $6,635, over the course of 4 years. That is prada messengers and backpacks, wallets, prada clothing, lots of Louis Vuitton stuff...and a gucci wallet thrown in...oh, and some YSL stuff I got in California a year ago...

jesus H christ! RIDICULOUS.

and to think I am considering trying to save for a $4,000 bag....HAHAHAHAHA. how many prada wallets is that?!

PS - the most expensive item I own was $1,650 at the store in June.

famous men I would do

Vincent Cassel is looking HOTTTTtt (he is the one who isn't Xhibit, btw)

I would also do:

Hugh Jackman
Zac Efron
Daniel Craig
Sean William Scott

there are more, i just can't think of them.

400 miles roundtrip...

it was a busy day from Sarasota to Miami and back. Tierney went to Brazil for 10 days and she needed someone to take her to Miami...enter me.

I remarked on just a few things today:

-people who drive Pontiac Azteks CANNOT BE TRUSTED/FOLLOWED
-i also dislike those who consistently ride their brakes. braking is bad.

-the everglades are glorious...and Alligator Alley is a pleasure to drive

-I'm still in love with Hermès (stopped in Naples briefly)

-I would definitely consider living in Miami
-or Naples, given the right job (read: high-paying)

I do love it. Driving 90mph with no cops to be seen doesn't hurt either ;)

Hermès wonderment...new blog I LOVE

http://www.decadesinc.blogspot.com/

best blog...EVER. well, i'm vaguely addicted to dlisted.com, but dear lord...won't you bring me a vintage/used H kelly??

There is something very...thrilling about used items, items that are more of a "find" because they aren't available in stores (and are generally from many years past). When I was in NYC last summer, I spent so many hours browsing the selections at consignment shops in NoLiTa and SoHo. I loved looking at all the 90s Chanel coats, and the old Fendi bags. And now, that excitement extends all the way down to Florida, where I can view this adorable blog...with the occasional H birkin or kelly...

I want a foldable kelly so bad!

scratch

...all that LV bullshit from a couple weeks ago. All i really want is duffles, briefcases, wallets, watches, shoes, and RTW from Hermès. Hahaaaa

I mean, I guess I go back and forth, but like...all of the other people who like LV as much as I do/think I do are so damn boring/classless. All they want is the LV ish all over everything...and that's exactly what I don't want. I just want nice leathers that ooze quality. And good stitching, and good linings.

boo. the house of H is so expensive. I will never get my Victoria Duffle...lol

here are some pictures of the t-reg and audi...

at the VW dealership...

my favorite part about having to take my car in to get fixed is being able to sit in a bunch of different cars that I rarely get to see up close. Take for instance...the Audi A8. Such a nice car. The interior is cozy without being too cramped or small feeling, and the materials are just...BUTTER. I'm not huge into the Audi thing, I get a little bored with them...but I swear, I would drive this car over a Merc S-class or BMW 7-series any day. I sat in the black 2005 A8 for like 20 minutes, playing with its navigation system...really easy to use.

Then, there was the VW Touareg V10 TDI (diesel). Whew that car is nice too. In comparison to the Range Rover, BMW X5, and Lincoln Navigator that were also on the lot, the T-reg was the nicest! The interior is so nicely designed, executed, with good materials...and actually FEELS like an SUV, without being a truck. the bmw felt way too car-like, for my tastes. PLUS, the VW's engine is the fantastic V10 TDI, which supposedly is near-to as fast as a porsche carrera...a claim I have yet to prove ;), but still exciting nonetheless...

So, in closing, I would like to trade my junk 02 Passat and get an 05 Audi A8, black with black leather, and 19" wheels. OK?? How much do I owe you??
