How to keep the front strap of your Longchamp form constantly falling off with this strap connectors 👜 comment SHOP & I’ll dm you the link ❤️

Longchamp totes are some of my favorite bags but like with any tote, the shoulder straps tend to fall off especially if the bag is very light but in the other hand if it is better full the tote straps can be uncomfortable. This Longchamp strap connector solves both of this problems! It keeps your straps together and it provides a flat surface to keeps the slimmer straps from digging into you shoulder. The leather also matches perfectly so it looks great and blends seamlessly 🤎

The ultimate Longchamp Le Pliage hack!

#LTKgrwm #LTKdayinmylife #LTKootd

Did you know you can personalize a Longchamp bag?! I just learned you could and did it myself ❤️ you can get your initials across the whole bag for a more custom look but I stuck with the leather embossing which is my favorite way to personalize everything especially gifts!
This personalized Le Pliage would make the best Christmas gift

If you just got the Coach Chelsea 36 suede bag, don’t skip this step. 👏 I protected mine with a suede protector spray before carrying it, and I’m so glad I did.

Here’s exactly what I did:
✨ Brushed the suede first
✨ Applied 1 light coat
✨ Let it dry for a few minutes
✨ Brushed it again
✨ Applied 2 more thin coats
✨ Let it dry overnight, moving the flap so every area could fully dry

While the spray is wet, the suede looks much darker and the smell is pretty strong—but don’t panic! Once it’s completely dry, the color goes right back to normal and the smell disappears.

The best part? I splashed water on the bag afterward, and it beaded right up instead of soaking into the suede. 🙌

Have you protected your suede bags yet, or are you taking the risk? 👀

Is this the weirdest bag I've ever unboxed? Probably. Do I love it? Absolutely.

JW PEI's pigeon clutch is ridiculous in the best way. The wings actually open, it fits more than you'd think, and my favorite styling hack: let it peek out of a bigger tote like the world's cutest conversation starter 🕊️💜

Send this to someone who needs a pigeon in their life.

I went to shop the Nordstrom anniversary sale so you don’t have to! Maybe my local location just wasn’t it, but the online selection is much better! Comments SHOP & I’ll dm you the links ♥️

They did have the exclusive coach pebbled leather shoulder bag in stock in every color 😍 and the Kurt Geiger patchwork tote that gives me major Coachtopia vibes!

They were out of the limited edition Tory Burch bag but don’t worry, she’s still available online ♥️
The beauty sales were much better in store than the bags were. I think it’s best to shop the anniversary sale online 👜

My top bag picks to shop the Nordstrom sale! There’s not a lot of coach and Longchamp on sale but this cute lil coach bag is on sale in multiple colors, so is this little Longchamp bag.

I’m really eyeing this suede Tory Burch bag, but I’m probably going to end up with that Kurt Geiger tote 😍 it’s giving me Coachtopia / Coach Brooklyn vibes and I love the colors 😍

Coach Chelsea 30 or 36? Which one is best?

I love them both for different reasons, but each sizes might fit different lifestyles better.

The Chelsea 30 is smaller and a great everyday bag (not too big not too small) I can fit my wallet, keys, phone, a small water bottle and a few other small necessities.

The Chelsea 36 on the other hand is big enough for the Chelsea 30 to fit inside without being squished! It holds so much more and even fits my 13 inch MacBook Air! If you carry a lot of stuff or want it as a work bag or school bag then the 36 is for you!

I also think aesthetically the 36 has a cooler relaxed effortless vibe, but I find myself reaching for the 30 more often. They’re both great to have in your collection especially if you them them in different colors or materials!

My coach Chelsea 36 is in suede and my Chelsea 30 is in maple leather

I love my Coach Chelsea 36 in suede but my one true love is maple 😍

Yall know I had to get the Chelsea in maple and she’s finally here 😍 I got the Chelsea 30 because, while I think the 36 looks way cooler, the 30 is just a more practical size for me for an everyday bag 🤎

She is made of full grain leather with the classic flap and beautiful hardware 😍

Shes currently out of stock but I linked it so you can check for restocks & I linked some similar-ish bags🤎 Comment SHOP & I’ll dm you the link 🤎

This is the Coach Rhyder satchel 24 re-edition in chocolate suede. I love how boxy yet squishy the design is and all of the hardware buttons. The suede, patches and brass buttons give me major western vibes which I love for summer and fall 😍

I bought the viral OG Kate Spade bag from the new Legally Blonde press tour and the little details are INSANE 🎀💼

The exterior label? A total throwback to early 2000s Kate Spade when they did branding differently. The hidden flap inside? Nobody's talking about this but it's genius for organizing your mini bag essentials. This is giving major Elle Woods energy and I'm obsessed.

If you're a mini bag girly who loves nostalgic fashion moments, this one's for you. The Lexi Mineree effect is REAL and these are selling out fast.

What fits inside: lip gloss, card case, AirPods, keys, and your cutest mini wallet. Worth it? 100%. Send this to your Legally Blonde-obsessed bestie who needs to see this.

Why is this Tory Burch bag not sold out like the Charlie drawstring bag?! It’s so much nicer 😍

I just got my very first Tory Burch bag and I love her! When I was looking into getting my coach Chelsea, the Tory Burch Charlie was compared to it a lot with some people even claiming that it’s even nicer. I had to see for myself and I tried to find the vital large Charlie bag to compare to my Chelsea 36 or the vital Charlie drawstring bag in black but of course they are sold out everywhere. I saw this one on the top shelf and finally mustered up enough courage to ask someone if I could see it (I hate asking people to get stuff off the top shelf for me) 😭 but they were so nice! As soon as I tried on this regular sized quilted black Charlie with chain straps I loved her way more than the large!

She is the perfect size and the chain makes her look so much more elevated. The chain straps also have leather on the shoulder part so it is still comfortable.

Why is this Tory Burch Charlie not viral?! I think it’s the best one 😍

I finally found a maple rogue at the new Coach Play store in Atlanta 😍 send to your friends looking for a Rogue 31 ♥️ what would you customize at the Coach Play store?

I also linked some of the chocolate brown suede rogues and a link to keep checking if the maple is in stock 🤎 so comment SHOP & I’ll dm you the links 🤎

It was so fun looking at all the customization options but I kept it simple since the Rogue already has so many cute details.
I just added a gold cherry charm onto the lower left corner so I could still see it with chains on.
