Thanks so much, everyone! I love the shared joy of a new bag! I plan on going to the LV store next week so I'll know then! I promise to post pics of whatever I end up coming home with! :)I want to get the wallet (style TBD) hot stamped with my initials. Is that an online only thing or do they take care of it through the retail store? louis vuitton dog carrier

Hey OP - so sorry your family's getting you down. Its such a shame that they've been on your case to the extent that its starting to mess with your enjoyment of your bag. I think its really hard to give advice on how to deal with family since we all have completely different family dynamics but maybe you could sit them down and explain that whilst you get that pricey purses are not their thing, you'd worked hard for them and they gave you something to aim for and all this nagging is really starting to get to you. Whilst their unlikely to change their minds about the bag being too extravagant I'm sure neither actually wants to hurt your feelings so hopefully that might stop them in their tracks? Or if you think that this will be an ongoing battle then maybe you could ask them why they are genuinely so against them and talk them through that. For me, my mum and I both share a lot of similiar passions so that's rarely a problem but with extended family and most of my friends I get the regular eye rolling, digs etc and I just shrug those off. If someone genuinely wants to know what possesses me to spend so much on bags, I'll have an open conversation with them but for those who just like to make comments, I don't bother reacting to it - its a pointless battle. As far as I'm concerned, there's never really a need to call someone out on their spending habits unless they're getting themselves into debt etc over it. So in most cases people say things to try and make themselves feel more superior etc and I can't be bothered to dignify that with a response. What I have noticed though is that the less I respond, the less those comments are made. Anyway - in spite of all this, congrats on your bag and please do enjoy using it!

I think the watch is cute now... but what happens when the rubber strap is dated looking? 1000 for a watch that may go out of style in a year is too much IMHO. If you don't mind getting an L.V. strap when that one is "out" then go for it. I would also do a lot of reading up about their watches if I were you.
