Bergdorf's employee discount did me well

My mother and I decided to visit my dad at work on Saturday, so I could pick out my belated birthday present. My dad works at Bergdorf Goodman, so of course we take advantage of his employee discount, and my parents actually let me pick something out from Bergdorf's as a birthday present. For my 15th birthday, my parents let me get the cult-favorite Alexander Wang Rocco satchel in black with the brass (I think) hardware, and I've been wearing it to death ever since, so it was time for a new bag to be added to my slowly growing collection.

During the holiday season, the windows at Bergdorf's are always unbelievably spectacular, but since my mom and I chose to visit on a day where it was freezing cold, snowing, and slightly hailing, I was risking frostbite if I decided to take my hands out of my pockets, so I only managed to get a picture of one of the windows. :( but it's still one of the most beautiful ones they have at the moment!

Hopefully I get to stop by again soon so I can get pictures of the rest of the immaculately decorated windows.

And on to the main point of this post -- what I picked as my belated birthday present! It only took a month and a half for me to get my belated Christmas present 'cause my parents wanted me to wait until the week in the holiday season that my dad would get an additional 30% (to his employee discount) off of the handbags and other accessories to get my present. I was stuck between the elegantly  structured Alexander Wang Prisma Skeletal Satchel in black, which had the $1,050 price tag (my parents would never get this for me unless my dad had the additional 30% off LOL),

and the 3.1 Phillip Lim 31 Hour bag in white, in it's oversized, crisply white glory (it costs $750). 

The thing with the Phillip Lim is that apparently they weren't participating in the additional 30% off sale this week, so from the $750 price tag, it came down to $525. However, the AW Prisma Skeletal did have the additional 30% off discount, so from $1,050, it came down to $525 as well. LOL. 

It was such a hard decision to pick between the two, and after asking for opinions, and staring longingly into the mirrors at Bergdorf's as I donned the two heavily priced bags, I decided on going with the ..

*dun da da duuuuuuuuuuun*

Phillip Lim 31 Hour Bag!!

Although I would be getting a better deal with the AWang Prisma Skeletal, and it would've been a little cute to have it with my beloved Rocco, I couldn't resist this 31 Hour beaut. It's insanely sized, and will fit my baglady needs perfectly. It slouches beautifully, and looks so crisp and clean, but gives an effortless feel, and could easily pair with a casual outfit, but look effortlessly glamorous as well. I've also been slowly feeding into the whole "white is the new black" thing, and I mean, can you blame me? White is just wonderful now. Winter white is my new favorite, my goodness, I can't get enough of it.

Anyways, it's 1:28 in the morning now, and I have to wake up for school tomorrow *loads gun*, haha. But yeah. Toodles, nonexistent followers, thanks for reading!
