  51. Ooh I love the movement in the photos! It is amazing that her purses are still must haves! Chanel and Hermes may be expensive, but have enormous resale value so they are worth the price (and can be recouped if necessary!)

  53. I love your rings {the two together}.

    I'm also curious how large your closet is. You always seem to have something new. I have a tiny closet and smallish dresser and so I can't even imagine having the space right now. Some day maybe. :)
