Okay, so I’ve been wanting to get my hands on the LV Santa Monica for a while now. It’s just such a cute and practical bag, and I finally decided to go for it! Here’s how the whole thing went down.
First, I started by doing some serious online window shopping. I scrolled through tons of pictures and watched a few YouTube videos to get a better feel for the size and how it looks in real life. You know, just making sure it was the one.
Then, I decided to hit up the actual store. It’s always different seeing things in person, right? I went to my local LV boutique and, oh boy, was it busy! I waited for a bit, but it was totally worth it.
When it was my turn, I asked the sales associate to see the Santa Monica. She brought it out, and… wow. It was even better than I expected! The leather felt so smooth, and the size was perfect – not too big, not too small.
I then tried different ways to wear this bag, crossbody, shoulder and holding, and it all felt so nature and fit.
I spent some time just admiring it, trying it on, and picturing all the ways I could style it. I even took a few mirror selfies (don’t judge!). After some serious contemplation (and maybe a little bit of internal debate), I decided to take the plunge!
The sales associate helped me with the purchase, wrapped it up all nicely, and I walked out of the store feeling like a million bucks. Seriously, the best feeling!
Since then, I’ve been using the Santa Monica non-stop. It’s become my everyday bag, and I’m totally obsessed. It fits all my essentials, and it just makes any outfit look instantly more put-together. The best purchase.
