My ex boyfriend got me back into designer clothing, I completely re-evaluated my appearance and wardrobe from that day forward. Some luxury designers are just totally outrageous in price and designs (see Givenchy, some of Gucci, and Valentino). The worst thing is, their products sell out the moment they are available. Of course, some products are indeed worth their asking price because of the quality of materials and labor involved, which are the two main things I look at most (overall appearance too, of course). When I went to the Armani boutique on 5th Avenue in NYC, I finally got to see all the dream worthy items I wanted in person. The Coat in Batalava was the most elegant, sophisticated, impressive coat I ever laid my hands on. Shame I didn't have 5K to buy it with

Btw, the AC Velvet jacket is just amazing in person. The feel of the velvet is so light and soft. I can't wait to wear it on my birthday in a couple weeks!
