I still remember the day I fell in love with luxury/designer goods. I was 9 years old and I was watching Kourtney and Khloe take Miami with my mum, and the opening credits featured Kourtney holding a gold Louis Vuitton Alma and Khloe carrying my (then) dream bag, the Louis Vuitton Speedy in the Stephen Sprouse graffiti print. From then, I became completely obsessed with all things designer. This obsession got so extreme that I'd get home from Year 5 and run to eBay to watch people bid for Chanel handbags, crazy right?
Whilst an Hermes Birkin and a Chanel classic flap are at the top of my all-time luxury wishlist, I thought I was collate a wishlist of more realistic items, and why I want them.

Not a must, but something I'd love to have. Tortoise sunglasses are my absolute favourite, and whilst I usually opt for cat-eye, this style is extremely unique and flattering for my frame. These are all the rave right now, however, Alizey Mirza is the blogger who made me fall in love with them.
9. Gucci 'Suede Pumps' - $830
These pumps are everything and more, and not overly expensive either. Ever since I started working at a shoe shop my love for shoes has grown, and I've learnt the importance of investing in quality rather than just having multiple pairs. I'd definitely purchase these for the Winter time so I can style with leather pants, jeans, camel coats, oversized scarves, etc. Definitely a good investment as you can wear them casual to work or dress them up for dinners and events.
8. Valentino 'Rockstud' Heels - $1280
I don't think I even have to justify why I want/need these heels in my life. It's the ultimate business chic, It Girl shoe. Goes with everything, comfortable, beautiful, ahhhh. I must have these.
Thankfully I've moved past the stage of my life where I wanted the gold Alma all the Kardashian's owned, but I do love the BB size Alma in the Damier Ebene print. If you don't already watch Hey June's videos I highly recommend you do subscribe, because she's the main reason why I am lusting for this handbag. I'd definitely use this as a going out bag rather than an everyday bag because its size isn't quite practical and I'm not overly a big fan of structured bags used for errands. With a leopard coat, black jeans and leather boots this bag would look absolutely stunning.

A card holder is an essential for anyone who loves smaller handbags or uses clutch bags regularly. Chanel is so timeless, so durable and so effortless. The reason why I want a card holder so bad is for clubbing. I hate just throwing in my debit card and my license into my clutch so this just ensures everything is secure and easily found after a few too many cocktails.
5. Chanel 'Wallet On Chain' - $2950
I love the WOC purse purely because you can dress it up to go out in or tuck in the chain and literally use it as a wallet.
This kind of coinside's with the next item on my wishlist but I really want the pochette that comes with the Neverfull handbag in the Damier Ebene print. My friend Julia has this and it is perfect when you don't want to take a bag out clubbing or to dinner. Plus, the canvas won't get ruined if alcohol is spilled on it. Unfortunately you can't buy this item separately, however, you can buy it pre-loved on Fashion Phile.
My favourite print from Louis Vuitton is the monogram canvas, and this bag is the perfect gym and uni bag. It's definitely a bag I am prioritising saving up for because of how needed it is for my everyday life. This bag is extremely durable so I can pack it full of textbooks and my laptop.

I've been on the hunt for a wallet for over a year now, and this is the perfect one I've come across. Although it's crazy expensive for a wallet it's absolutely gorgeous and will last ages due to the leather. A must-get this year!
1. Givenchy Antigona - $3650
The most gorgeous handbag ever. I am completely and utterly obsessed with this bag. It is extremely durable, aesthetically pleasing and can hold so much. I'm always tossing up between the small and the medium as well as the nude and black. I think it's just an extremely practical handbag that suits everyone's style whether that be extremely casual or extremely put together. My favourite google search is Givenchy Antigona style, it is so inspiring outfit wise.

So there you have it, my 2017 luxury wishlist. This is definitely a wishlist that will last me a few hours with pieces I think are essential in my wardrobe. Although it's highly doubtful that I'll be buying an Antigona bag this year, it's always a goal to work hard and save for.
I'd love to hear what's on your wishlist so feel free to comment or tweet me.
Thanks for reading!
Love,
