NEW IN: the Neverfull + LV maison opening in Venice

I think it is safe to say that I have literally waited years to make this purchase. I have been wanting a Louis Vuitton purse ever since graduating high school. And while I was working as a waitress during my first year of college, it was always my goal to save money for a Louis Vuitton Speedy. But for some reason my wish was always put off to a later time. And now, almost 4 years later I finally purchased my first Louis Vuitton bag yesterday ♥ And in all honesty, I am glad I waited this long. Because in the meantime I actually changed my mind, and much prefer the Neverfull over the Speedy now. And I always thought I’d buy the bag in the damier ebene, since that was the pattern I always liked the most. That is until I recently saw THIS picture on Pinterest and fell in love with the look right away, so guess which bag I ended up getting …

CRAVINGS: home decor edition

Sundays at our place are all about lazy breakfasts, afternoon naps on the sofa, catching up on some reading and our traditional Sunday night pasta dinner. My favorite books to browse on the weekends are inspiring interior and home decor books! “Decorate” by Holly Becker was a birthday gift from my colleagues and I absolutely love it – there is so much inspiration in there, I don’t even know where to start. But that’s a good thing, right? So today’s Sunday Cravings are a bit of home decor I am currently craving (or decided to order this weekend)

FOR THE HOME: my favorite coffee table books

Today I came home from work to find that my most recent amazon purchase had arrived. In the box was Kate Spade’s “Things We Love” for my collection of coffee table books. The main reason I bought this book was a visit at Kathi’s place last week, when I saw it laying on the table and couldn’t stop flipping through the pages. Even though I could probably have just borrowed it from her, it is one of those things I simply wanted for my own collection – I mean, who can resist a neon pink book filled with girly stuff and gold-edge pages?? (For a better look inside the book check out THIS post!). And quite frankly you can never have too many pretty books, after all they count as an intellectual purchase! So while we’re on the topic of coffee table books I wanted to share my favorites with you guys today.

Are there any other ones that you’d consider “must-haves” or can recommend?
