Dream to Reality: Miu Miu Vitello Bow Bag

Today something incredible happened. A dream of mine came true. One of my very first posts on this blog, back in August, was 'My Current Lusts'. In that post I showed you the Miu Miu Vitello Lux Tote Bag. You've probably seen this bag before, it's got beautiful bows and gold hardware. I loved it long before that post and I've loved it ever since!


When I first set eyes on this bag I knew I was in trouble. BIG TROUBLE! 

It's everything I love; a soft pastel colour, a pretty style including especially pretty bows, a big size and bright shiny gold detailing. I tried to put it out of my mind but couldn't, then to make matters worse Laura of Buy Now, Blog Later got it! 

After a couple of months of stalking the hell out of it online I decided enough was enough! It was time to start saving for it! So I did. I can't tell you how excited I am to finally have it!

Yep, I actually just sat and hugged the box for a bit. That's how happy I am!

I love it. The colour is so unusual which is one reason I fell in love with it. It changes depending what light it's under. It's technically a light pinkish colour with a hint of lilac, called 'Mughetto'. In artificial light it looks like a lilacy grey and in dull daylight it looks a little like a nude/grey colour. I'm not explaining this well but you'll be seeing plenty of it in pictures over the coming months so don't you worry about that!

I got the larger size of the bag, I have so much rubbish that I like to carry around with me that I had to get the big size. I could have saved some money by getting the slightly smaller version but I figured if I was doing it, I was doing it right! It's made of leather with a shiny, slightly distressed finish to it. Even the inside of the bag is pretty although I will admit I was a teeny tiny bit disappointed that it wasn't purple anymore. Mine came from the Miu Miu store so it's the latest season of it. The only change I can see is the inside lining is now a silvery colour rather than purple. No biggy though, it's not like I walk around showing people the inside of my handbag is it! Please excuse my slightly dishevelled state and makeup in these pictures, I couldn't wait  to open it. I'm just so happy to finally have this beautiful bag!

 

 

 

You can check out the one I got and lots of other colours on the Miu Miu E-Store. WARNING: Lots of pretty things! If you're already kind of broke don't look because if you're anything like me...you sure as hell will be broke after!

So tell me, have you ever saved up for one of your dream items? What was it? There's nothing quite like the satisfaction of finally getting it is there!

Have a great weekend everyone!
