Hii!! I’ve been on the hunt for a daily work tote that isn't another Neverfull or Goyard, and I finally decided to pull the trigger on this Emblem tote.

Honestly, I am so impressed. The coated canvas has a really nice texture to it—not overly shiny or plasticky at all, and it has just enough structure so it doesn't look like a deflated balloon when I put it down.

But she isn't absolutely perfect. First off, the coated canvas feels just a little stiffer than I’d like right out of the box. I'm really hoping it breaks in and softens up with use. Also, if you look super closely at the numbered holes on the straps, the glazing on the edges is just a tiny bit sloppy in one spot. It’s nothing major, and nobody is inspecting my shoulder on the subway, so I can totally live with it for the price.

Now, the elephant in the room: the smell 🥴 The fufu was STRONG when I opened the package. It smelled like a straight-up chemical plant! If anyone else gets a bag with a crazy strong factory smell, here is what always works for me: I stuffed the inside with plain newspaper and a couple of scented dryer sheets, then left it unzipped on my covered patio for a few days. The smell is completely gone now 😄

The first picture is my #1 choice, but would like any of the others. Basically want a mixed metall wristband with a pink face. This doesn't need to be mirror quality because I won''t be wearing it often, but I do want a sweeping second hand. I honestly have no idea what the price range would be. I don't want a budget, I assume there's a mid-tier and high tier. I wouldn't want to spend much more than $400. I could be very naive here. I haven''t shopped much jewelry and no watches before.

Once again, as I'm stuck in this horrid cycle of insomnia, I find the coolest things. Don't even know how I came upon this one, but the company is called Aspinal of London and their bags are gorgeous (and pricey)! I don't have much hope that anyone carries them, but you don't know if you don't ask!

I just wanted to share my experience with the ysl heels since I was looking for reviews before buying them. I wore them once for about an hour and they were honestly very comfortable.
The quality feels really high-end and well made. I’d say they’re true to size if you have narrow feet, I’d definitely recommend getting your regular size. But if you usually wear half sizes or are between sizes, I’d suggest sizing up.
I ordered my other pair from another seller but i tried a new seller and tbh, I’m really happy with them and its even better than the other one! less
