STYLETHREAD -- LET'S TALK SHOP!

Lilykind · Hermes

what would you give yourself for your birthday if you had $750ish?

bloomie · Marc Jacobs

Hayden Harnett handbag $325 (I am drooling over it)
CHANEL CH5116Q glasses

$398

XtinaStyles · Marc Jacobs

I don't have any pics but I would either get a fabulous bag, diamond studs or a "right hand ring"

carmenb513 · Coach

if you got $750 for your birthday you shoould totally give it to Carmen......... it's only fair

pollyjean23 · Marc Jacobs

I can't think of one thing. I would probably buy several items including some fab shoes and clothes. I'd make a trip to BCBG/Max and Nord.

flknight24 · Dooney & Bourke

I can't get the pics. to post right now but I think the Christian Louboutin Mary Jane pump would be a great bday present to self. I also love the David Yurman petite albion ring in sage ice (a really light green).

ITA! Diamonds are forever.

jaymiek · Coach

a DVF dress (like the Ladybug one you posted before) and either a nice bag or shoes.

erin · Chanel

personally, i would take my money and get something really special like a vintage pucci! or maybe take a stroll to decades and splash out there!

littlebean · Kate Spade

I would get an M Missoni dress because I'm obsessed with them right now!

Lilykind · Hermes

thanks ladies for all your ideas.

Here are some things I was thinking of.

LV Damier Azul purse (I'd go to the store this weekend and look at them all)

Damier Azur Speedy 25

(I'd want the 30 though)

The right hand ring is an awesome idea! I'll probably start a new topic about that because I don't know jack about fine jewelry.

I may go to Barneys and see what they have shoeswise. I really have to wear flats or wedges nowadays. cry

or I might do what Erin suggested and haul butt over to Decades. I've never been but I'd love love love something vintage and fabulous.

I'll keep you all posted!

Escrime · Kate Spade

oooh, I really like that LV.

I'd probably get a pair of CL shoes or a nice piece of jewelry...

Collette · Chanel

Since you said you mostly wear wedges or flats right now I'd buy a fabulous pair

Lilykind, that LV bag is seriously drool-worthy!

honey · Gucci

i would get a pair of the louboutins collette posted. but fwiw i've seen the lv you posted in person, and it's really, really nice.

lynnie · Chanel

i'm not a huge LV fan, but i love that bag.
hmm... i'd probably not spend it all on a pair of shoes. I'd maybe get a pair of Chie Miharas or something in the $300 range, or a couple of cute shoes in the $100 range. I tried on a pair of Chie mihara sandals last week and they were SO comfortable. I'd probably wear that more than a fancier pair of shoes and I think we have similar lifestyles.
This is totally indulgent, but i've always liked Hermes bangles. Or maybe a nice set of gold bangles.
I have a Vince leather jacket (the one in the devil wears prada) and it was $625- they raised their prices though- and it was a great investment. for me, jackets/coats are good investments. I feel better in a nice jacket/mid-range bag than fancy bag/okay jacket.
it would probably be hard for me to spend all the money in the same place unless i was CRAZY about something. i wouldn't force yourself to spend it all on an investment bag/shoes unless its something you truly long for. There are so many amazing under the radar designers and cool vintage items that are cheaper and more unique. And I know you have unique taste smile
