What Fits Inside a Louis Vuitton Eva Clutch (Damier Azur)

The Louis Vuitton Eva Clutch is such a beautiful lady-like evening bag. I thought long and hard before I purchased it. The bag retails for $730.00 (does not include sales tax) and comes in the monogram, damier ebene and damier azur prints. It has a gorgeous gold chain but also comes with a removable longer leather strap that allows it to be worn cross-body. I purchased the damier azur because I felt the white was classic and I have not seen many people carrying the Eva in that color. Although it looks small, it can carry all the evening essentials and more. The Louis Vuitton mini pochette DOES fit inside the Eva Clutch for those of you who have it. In case you or anyone you know may have been debating about this bag, I thought you might want to know what can fit inside. Purchase the Eva Clutch from the Louis Vuitton Website!

Some photos of the bag, box, dust bag and removable long leather strap:

8. Louis Vuitton Mini Pochette (I had about 20 cards in there along with a couple dollar bills Go to my post that details what fits inside the mini pochette!)

I hope this post will help anyone interested in buying an Eva Clutch. This clutch fits so much inside and is gorgeous for a wedding, clubbing night out or dinner. I would highly recommend it if you do not have many clutches and want one that you will get a ton of use out of.

What Fits Inside a Louis Vuitton Mini Pochette (Monogram)

The Louis Vuitton Mini Pochette is my most used accessory. I use it every day as a wallet / make-up pouch that I keep inside my work bag. My favorite thing about the mini pochette is that it can be used as a clutch for a night out. It's really the perfect size to carry essential items and the monogram print goes with almost any outfit. The chain also removes from one end and can be clipped to the other side so that it can be worn as a wristlet. The mini pochette retails for $295 (not including sales tax). I thought it might be useful to show what fits inside for anyone who is interested in purchasing this useful accessory.


What I put inside the Louis Vuitton mini pochette in monogram for a night out:
1. Band Aids (I tend to get blisters if I am wearing very high uncomfortable shoes)
2. Mac Lipstick (Politely Pink) & Lancome Juicy Tube (Miracle)
3. Cash (Just in case - please note that I would also bring my I.D. and credit card but could not include in the photo for obvious reasons)
4. iPhone 5s ****I NOW HAVE AN IPHONE 6 PLUS AND IT DOES NOT FIT IN THE MINI POCHETTE! IT DOES HOWEVER FIT IN THE EVA CLUTCH!!!****
5. MAC Studio Fix Powder (C4)

Now, for those of you that already have a go-to night out clutch, you may want to use the mini pochette as a cosmetic pouch inside of your larger everyday bag. Here are some photos of what could fit inside the mini pochette as a cosmetic pouch:


What I put inside the Louis Vuitton mini pochette in monogram when using it as a cosmetic pouch:
1. Nars Blush (Sin)
2. Lancome Hypnose Drama Mascara
3. 3 Lipsticks (Mac Politely Pink, Revlon Apricot Fantasy, Revlon Black Cherry)
4. Tom Ford Quad (Cocoa Mirage)
I hope this was helpful to anyone interested in purchasing this item! It is such a versatile piece and I would highly recommend it!

Koolaburra Haley II Fringe Sheepskin Boot Review

There is nothing better than stepping outside in a cute pair of sheepskin boots in winter. I have a couple Ugg boots, but have seemed to outgrow the style a bit recently. I still think they are cute and more importantly comfortable, but I wanted a pair of warm boots with a little more style. I began searching for the Haley II fringe boots after watching an episode of Hart of Dixie. Zoe Hart wore these in an episode and they were so cute I had to find them. Koolaburra is a very well-known high-end brand that specializes in sheepskin / suede boots and sneaker wedges. Their website has many photos of different celebrities that wear their products (Ashley Tisdale, Megan Fox, Kourtney Kardashian, Selena Gomez, Britney Spears, Vanessa Hudgens,etc). They are much more expensive than a pair of Uggs but after purchasing these, I can say that they are well worth the price.

I purchased my Koolaburra Haley II boots in the color beige or "seta". They also come in tawny port (gorgeous wine color) and chestnut. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a stylish yet comfortable and warm winter boot.



In case you are in the market for a new pair of winter boots and find yourself comparing the Koolaburras to the more popular Ugg boots, I did a comparison between the two brands with the below four categories:

1. Comfort
Ugg: 5/5
Koolaburra: 5/5
No surprise here. Both pairs of boots are extremely comfortable. You won't have an issue walking for long periods of time in either.

2. Style
Ugg: 3/5
Koolaburra: 5/5
Uggs can be cute if worn with the right outfit, but the Koolaburras are so flirty with the fringe and fur trim. They are definitely more eye-catching and stylish.

3. Price
Ugg: $$
Koolaburra: $$$
The Classic Tall Ugg boots are about $195 at Nordstrom compared to the Haley II Fringe Boots that are $325 (now on sale!) at Koolaburra's website:
Purchase Haley II Boots at Koolaburra

4. Warmth
Ugg: 4/5
Koolaburra: 5/5
The Koolaburras are slightly more warm than the Uggs. The reason for this is that the Uggs are a little thinner than the Koolaburras. SIZING: I am usually a size 7 and I wear a SIZE 6 in Uggs and a SIZE 7 in the Koolaburras.
