love, chloe.

The annual summer sale in Amsterdam began last week.

Brief backstory: ever since I saw the Spring/Summer 2011 Chloe braided ankle strap flats a few months ago, I've been obsessed.

Yesterday at Shoebaloo, a designer shoe boutique, I was lucky enough to find the last pair of the flats in my size.  Call me anal, but I usually don't buy shoes that have been on display because other people have tried them on and stretched the leather out.  But in this case, I had to make an exception - that's how badly I wanted the shoes.

Now I am a proud owner of these gorgeous babies :)

I've been using my Ferragamo long wallet since October of last year.  Unfortunately, my tram pass doesn't always beep through due to the thickness and the wallet is too large to fit into my smaller handbags.

Credit card holders are the perfect accessory for women like me who carry their lives in their wallet because you never know what you may need (e.g., credit cards, cash, receipts, business cards, membership cards, transportation cards, erc).  I can put my id card, debit card, tram card and office card in a credit card holder, along with some cash and a couple business cards in the middle slot.  It fits in my pocket while running errands and in a small handbag for a night on the town.  After going through the frustrating experience of losing my wallet a couple years ago, I've learned that it's never good idea to take my entire wallet out...

Now it's time to retire my nylon zipper pouch from work to make room for a sleek, chic, leather credit card holder.
