First off, the bags. Oh my god, the bags. I’ve been eyeing the Sac de Jour forever. Seriously, it’s like the epitome of chic, right? I saw one online for, like, a grand? R$997,00 it was, I think. Still a chunk of change, even with that “47% OFF” screaming at me. They’re even offering payment plans now! 5 x de R$199,40 sem juros, which sounds tempting until you realize it’s still, ya know, almost a thousand bucks! I gotta be a little bit of a cheapskate, maybe i should buy it in a store that offer free shipping or something.
And then there’s the whole replica thing. Listen, I’m not gonna lie, I’ve been tempted. Especially when you see those “High Quality Bags with Large 7 Star” things online. Like, what *is* a 7-star bag anyway? Sounds kinda sketchy, tbh. But the price point…it’s definitely more palatable than dropping a mortgage payment on a real one. But then you feel kinda…icky, you know? Like you’re cheating the system or something. Plus, what if it falls apart after a week? Big yikes.
Speaking of icky, I saw some YSL sandals the other day – the Opyum ones. The ones with the crazy heel that spells out YSL. They’re gorgeous, don’t get me wrong. But are they actually wearable? I feel like you’d break an ankle just walking to the mailbox. Fashion over function, I guess, which is fine, but…my feet hurt just *thinking* about them.
And then I ended up on Netshoes – total tangent, I know – but apparently they carry Yves-saint-laurent stuff too! Who knew? They’re touting free shipping and special discounts, which is always a plus.
Okay, let’s be real, all this luxury stuff is kinda silly, right? Like, who needs a R$500,00 Italian gift box? I mean, I’m sure it’s nice, but…come on. Maybe I’m just not bougie enough.
