Shopbop Jewellery Haul

I kinda went crazy with the 20% discount code on Shopbop last week and purchased two necklaces and a pair of earrings.


Juliet and Company
Lacet en Metal Necklace

This Juliet and Company necklace was worth the money spent. It's sturdy, luxurious looking and the gold is matted but it has a nice sheen to it.  
☆/ 5 stars



House of Harlow 1960
Pyramid Station Necklace



I was very disappointed with the House of Harlow necklace being the most expensive out of the three. It felt very cheap and plastic. It felt like something I could purchase at a $5 jewellery store. Not happy. It will probably be the last time I purchase something from House of Harlow.
☆/ 5 stars (only because it looks nice).


Marc By Marc Jacobs
Pave Star Stud Earrings
                                                                                                   
I like Marc by Marc Jacobs studs, these are cute and simple. Not much else I can add except it was an extra 30%, woohoo!!

Tory Burch Robinson Double Zip Tote

Finally, after one month of waiting for a Shopbop code, there was a 20% discount code on the 17th and 18th of April. I could not miss this golden opportunity because Shopbop only has discounts on full price merchandise twice a year.

I have been eyeing the Tory Burch handbag for over a month. You can't buy Tory Burch in Australia so I couldn't actually see what the bag looked like on me. But all I know is that I HAD TO BUY IT!





















The Robinson Double Zip Tote does not disappoint. The Saffiano leather feels luxurious and worth more than its price tag. I love the two zip pockets on the sides which allows you to organise your belongings. I like the mini mirror they give you, its cute and handy. The size is great for those who like to carry their whole life in their bag.

However, there was some detailing that I personally didn't like about the bag. I was quite underwhelmed with the navy lining. It kinda felt like cheap cotton in comparison to the Marc by Marc Jacobs lining where the colours are more vibrant and the lining feels more durable. The crossover strap, functionality wise, I don't like where it is situated as it would easily break the bag from continued heavy usage. And personally the bag is a bit larger than expected since I have a small frame.

Don't get me wrong, overall, I totally do not regret my purchase. It's a great work bag which I'm sure I will be using for the next few years.
