The much anticipated Fendi X Skims capsule collection has dropped and sold out TWICE. Dear Fendi X Skims - Please do a third drop for those of us that hit snooze one too many times. SO, I slept-in the day of the first drop. BUT, was still able to snag the loose fitting pants and two beauty pouches. All three items are made of white and cream nylon with a diagonal FENDI Skims print in two shades of grey (color Connecticut). LOVE! The pouches were also available in Georgia (a bright orangy-red), Colorado (purple) and California (kind of a brow/grey mix). The pants were also available in Georgia. These shades are consistent throughout the underwear to outerwear to accessories collection. Items came in solid colors and printed styles. It's hard to tell on the Fendi X Skims site the actual size of these beauty pouches (cause it isn't posted). The mini is about 4.5" x 4" x 2". It's tiny! The small pouch is about 6.5" x 4.5" x 3.5". These pouches are perfect for mini to small handbags. I love the FF motif FENDI SKIMS lettering and the Connecticut color-scheme are my go-to shades. These pouches have gold-tone metal accessories and a zip closure. Luckily, I was able to snag the medium size beauty pouch during the second launch. SO, I have a lovely collection of Fendi X Skims beauty bags for every handbag size - From mini bags to totes. Let's talk about the packaging - It's genius! This shade of purple is GORGEOUS and Instagram worthy! Each item comes a appropriately sized box with a shopping bag. Each pouch comes in a dust bag donning the FF SKIMS motif. This Fendi X Skims packaging was designed exclusively for this collaboration. People are actually selling the packaging online! I keep all my packaging for re-sale purposes. YUP - I do sell many of my good-fines a few seasons later. I gotta make room for new stuff. SO, the collection sold out twice and to all those fans that missed out on this fabulous collection, you can always go to Poshmark and pay triple the retail cost - I KNOW! Sellers are getting a little crazy with the mark-up. Be reasonable people! I will be l listing the loose fitting pants in size large soon (NWT). Take a look at my PM account in the right sidebar - Click on any photo and it will take you to my PM closet. I also purchased the cropped down jacket in the color Illinois (khaki). It's GORGEOUS. I'll post pics soon... ![]()
We're glamping not camping AGAIN. Another excellent stay at the Getaway House DC. If you haven't been to a Getaway House, you absolutely must give it a try. I'm wearing Fendi sunglasses, Mayfair Group 'Signs From the Universe' crewneck sweatshirt and shorts and Diorcamp boots. ![]()
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I am addicted to Dior! I have to ban myself from visiting the boutique - Someone take away my internet! I've always gravitated to one designer a season (or a few), but my Dior obsession is anything but fading some seasons later. Here are a few of my must-have Dior accessories. I have this small DiorTravel vanity case in Rose des Vents and love it - It's my most used handbag. SO, of course I had to get another color. This small DiorTravel lambskin vanity case in Gray Cannage is gorgeous and perfect for colder seasons. I'm obsessed with this color. Can't wait till Christmas! The Dior Claire D Lune ring is part of the cruise collection 2022. I'm a fan of white-gold and diamonds, so this palladium-finish metal, with white crystals CD ring is a must-have. This ring is the perfect stocking stuffer - Hint hint.. Another item for the cruise 2022 collection are these Dior D-Zenith heeled ankle boots. These boots were made for me - I messaged my Dior Angel and asked her to get these for me and she replied, 'I already put them aside for you'. She gets my style. These boots have a sporty, yet elegant vibe. These fabulous boots have an integrated sock with the 'CHRISTIAN DIOR' signature - LOVE! The sport-like design dons a gold-finish heel - This juxtaposition is perfect and clearly references the cruise collection vibe. I LOVE LOVE sunglasses. Dior quickly became my go-to sunglasses brand. These modern sunglasses styles are perfectly pink'ish' and on-trend. These DiorSignature A3U nude pilot sunglasses don the new 'CHRISTIAN DIOR PARIS' signature and an updated pilot style. Have-to-have. These DiorClub M1U sunglasses are a little out of my comfort zone and I love them. The rectangular-shaped mask has a sporty vibe. I love the pink mirrored lens combined with the light beige frame with a pink lined detail. I can't wait to wear these.. I tried on these Dior Dway slides at the boutique - They are super cozy. Unfortunately, my size wasn't available. The blue shearling is super cozy. I love a good 'these are shoes, not slippers' style. The Dior D-Vibe Tribales earrings for headphones are everything I love about fashion - Ridiculous, but fabulous AND a must-have. Compatible with AirPods and AirPods Pro, these earrings have a small gold-tone chain with a ring that you attach to our headphones. LOVE! This Dior CD navy bracelet is comprised of woven cotton and white resin pearls. Simple and a must-have. Another stocking stuffer - Hint hint.. I'm not a fan of yellow, but this buttery shade of the Dior micro Lady Dior bag is GORGEOUS. It's absolutely impractical - This bag is super tiny and you won't get much in there. Who cares! I haven't seen this bag up close, but am expecting a 'we have it' message any day now.. If you follow me, you know I'm addicted to white Dior boots. These Dior D-Major ankle boots are perfection. The military inspired boot has wool throughout (they're super cozy) and dons the 'CHRISTIAN DIOR' signature in pale pink. LOVE and HAVE-TO-HAVE! ![]()
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I love my new Wellington inspired Bottega Veneta puddle ankle boots (available at Bottega Veneta). They're simple, yet interesting. The chunky sole gives you a little extra height, while the large shaft allows you to show off your socks (I'm a sock fan). These puddle boots come in a variety of colors AND there's a taller version. I'm obsessed with Moschino t-shirts. This Moschino cow-print oversized t-shirt (available at Farfetch) is cheeky and fun. This Moschino This Is Not a Toy oversized t-shirt (available at Farfetch) is the latest version of the signature teddy bear print. Most of my tees are oversized Moschino t-shirts. They're high-quality and super comfy. I have been lusting over this Dior anorak (available at Dior) for some time. I have a brilliant collection of Dior boots and handbags, but this will be my first piece of Dior clothing - I'M SO EXCITED! This oversized, hooded anorak dons the signature Dior oblique motif, side pockets and a front pocket with a flap showcasing a CRISTIAN DIOR signature. Last Christmas, I received the Louis Vuitton pillow comfort ankle boots. This year, I asked for the LV pillow comfort mules (available at Louis Vuitton). Similar to the boots, these mules are comprised of monogram nylon with a soft down filling. I'm counting down the days till Christmas! I have wanted a pair of LV Archlight sneakers since they debuted. Finally, this LV sneaker is available in a color scheme/print that suits my style. These Louis Vuitton Archlight sneakers (available at Louis Vuitton) are black and white with the new graphic Louis Vuitton signature. LOVE! ![]()
To all the handbags I've loved before - Happy National Handbag Day! I had no idea this was a thing, but I'm happy to celebrate a day dedicated to my handbag collection. I LOVE handbags - To say it's an obsession is an understatement. Here's a quick video to showcase my affection for handbags. Some of these handbags still grace my collection and others I sold to save money for new ones. It's a bummer to let them go, but if I had kept every designer handbag I purchased over the years, I would need another closet. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I've been meaning to post a Poshmark review for months, but I've been too busy selling on Poshmark! My girlfriend introduced me to the online selling/shopping site and I love it! You can post NWT items (new with tags) or pre-owned items. The vast selection ranges from clothes and fashion accessories to beauty and home decor. Posting is easy - take detailed photos, create a description and list at a lower price (than original retail price). I've been selling on Poshmark for just over a year and it's shocking how much money (I'm not sharing the exact digits) I have made selling pre-owned fashion items. I'm a self-proclaimed fashion addict and I say this with a little embarrassment - There's too many NWT items in my closet. Thankfully, I was able to sell most of them and make back the money I spent. Poshmark does charge a fee and it can be hefty for the pricey items. This online selling/shopping site is super easy to use. This platform kinda works like Instagram, but for selling and buying items. You can only share your items with your followers, so I suggest spending the first few weeks bulking up that number. In the beginning, I followed about 1000 users per week. I currently follow 52,000+ Poshers and gained 31,000+ followers. It's important to grow your network, cause these Posmark users can share your items to their followers on PM, as well as other platforms - Like Twitter. Followers may like your items to show interest and add them to their bundle to gain a discount. As a seller, you can send a discounted price to everyone that liked your listing - I find this is a great way to sell, so it's important to stay on top of your PM news feed. As a buyer, you can make offers less than the listed price. I usually accept reasonable offers and have sold almost all of my listings below asking price. Poshmark parties are also an excellent way to gain followers and sell items. Each party is a specific genre and many have a list of accepted brand names. It's wise to post in these parties and share as many other posts as possible, so Poshers share you're items back. One or more of your items may get chosen as by a party host - This will put your item in the Host Picks feed. Selling on Poshmark is time consuming. You have to stay involved. In the beginning, I spent a lot of time bulking up my followers. Now I post new items, join parties daily and have sold 64 items out of the current 125 listed. When you sell an item on Poshmark, it's practically no returns - Unless the item is far from what your description and photos present. Buyers have three days after receiving the item to make a claim and will rate the product. Shipping time and ratings are important. Followers may reference your stats before buying, so you want good stats. Poshmark has an authentication process for expensive, luxury items. The item will first ship to Poshmark to authenticate the designer item and then send it to the buyer. I love this feature - It gives the buyer a sense of protection and security. That's not to say Poshers don't post faux items - Just look at the price and if it's too good to be true - Don't buy it. I've added a Poshmark widget to my blog. I often get emails asking to buy my clothing and accessories, so the PM widget is essential to branching out and selling to followers. I encourage you to visit my Poshmark closet by clicking on the widget to the right or visiting poshmark.com - My PM profile name is @mclaughlinkim. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The Raf Simons Teenage Dreams knitted jumper (available at Farfetch), has been on my wishlist for months - I'm just waiting for it to go on sale. I love this shade of pink. The boxy silhouette and oversized sleeves are perfect for layering over a white shirt. Hopefully it goes on sale before it sells out. I am obsessed with this look. The Dolce & Gabbana logo-printed top and the Dolce & Gabbana polka-dot cotton mini skirt (both available at MyTheresa and Farfetch). It's the perfect party outfit. The short, polka-dot skirt pairs perfectly with the sleeveless top. The logo-printed top has print on the back as well. A list of locations for the DG Tour, along with a SOLD OUT stamp. These two are at the top of my must-have list. I told myself no more sunglasses, BUT these Gucci oversized embellished pilot sunglasses (available at Revolve) are amazing. I love the pilot style and pastel colors. These would match the Raf Simons Teenage Dreams knitted jumper perfectly. I already have these Bottega Veneta stretch 90 mm mesh-panel sandals (available at Farfetch). I'm a little obsessed with Bottega Veneta this season and have been cheating like mad on Dior! These shoes are surprisingly comfortable. I purchased them for an event that never happened, SO they're still in the box waiting for the perfect moment to shine! Another Bottega Veneta purchase - The BV puddle rubber clog sandals (available at Bottega Veneta). These are just too much fun. They're kinda like designer Crocs! They're comfy and this shade of salmon- pink is gorgeous against sun-kissed skin. Side note - They run large, so size down. ![]()
