Just like with the worst luxury purchases I&#8217;ve made, here is a list of the criteria I&#8217;ve considered to make this list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Cost per wear!<\/strong> Honestly, are we surprised? I purchase with the intent of building the perfect capsule wardrobe, so cost per wear is second nature to me. The more I wear an item, the cheaper it costs, and the more I get my money&#8217;s worth. Girl math.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Versatility: <\/strong>I love when an item can go from day to night, do business meeting and 17h00 drinks, both vacation vibes and everyday style. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>How much do I love it?<\/strong> Does it make my heart flutter when I look at it? Do I feel like a boss when wearing it? These are very important questions!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These following items are in no particular order. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Louis Vuitton Pochette Metis:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Pochette Metis may actually be the best purse that I&#8217;ve purchased so far. I&#8217;m a huge fan of crossbody purses as they&#8217;re by far the most convenient. They&#8217;re a stylish hands-free options and you can find one for just about every occasion. The Louis Vuitton Pochette Metis is quite roomy and fits everything that I could possibly need on a day-to-day basis.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1434\" height=\"1912\" src=\"https:\/\/allurebytess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/LV-Bag-2.jpg\" alt=\"louis vuitton bag\" class=\"wp-image-2647\" style=\"width:399px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/allurebytess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/LV-Bag-2.jpg 1434w, https:\/\/allurebytess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/LV-Bag-2-300x400.jpg 300w, https:\/\/allurebytess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/LV-Bag-2-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/allurebytess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/LV-Bag-2-800x1067.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1434px) 100vw, 1434px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Personally, I prefer my designer items to be on the understated side. The black leather empreinte is perfect for me as the logos aren&#8217;t very obvious, unlike the more popular monogrammed options you&#8217;ve probably seen all over social media. This also means it goes with a lot more outfits as it&#8217;s not a bold print and it&#8217;s black. Honestly, it&#8217;s always my go-to, fool-proof purse option. I do like to add a twilly to the top handle now to add a little bit of spice. I go back and forth between Gucci and Versace ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of wear and tear, I have worn this guy to absolute death and it&#8217;s still in stellar condition. It gets a 10\/10 on quality. The only downside is I tend to skip it for evenings; for me, it&#8217;s more of a casual bag. I&#8217;ve been playing with the idea of investing in a chain strap to see if that would dress it up more for low-key dinners and such. However, this type of purse just doesn&#8217;t work for proper evening events. It&#8217;s too big and slightly too casual in my opinion. Regardless, I absolutely love it and don&#8217;t regret it one bit. It was SUCH a good purchase!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1118\" height=\"1688\" src=\"https:\/\/allurebytess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/LV-Bag-3.jpg\" alt=\"pochette metis louis vuitton\" class=\"wp-image-2648\" style=\"width:385px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/allurebytess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/LV-Bag-3.jpg 1118w, https:\/\/allurebytess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/LV-Bag-3-300x453.jpg 300w, https:\/\/allurebytess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/LV-Bag-3-1017x1536.jpg 1017w, https:\/\/allurebytess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/LV-Bag-3-800x1208.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1118px) 100vw, 1118px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">She&#8217;s (the purse) a casual queen.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Check out my <a href=\"https:\/\/allurebytess.com\/index.php\/2021\/01\/18\/whats-in-my-louis-vuitton-pochette-metis-bag\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">What&#8217;s In My Louis Vuitton Pochette Metis Bag<\/a> blog post if you&#8217;d like some more information on this beauty and to see what fits!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Burberry Scarf:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I know that the Burberry scarf has been seen time and time again, but it truly deserves it&#8217;s place on this list. I bought mine in 2020 and it still looks brand new even though I wear it religiously every fall and winter season. It is also by far the warmest and softest scarf that I own.

My other scarves, mostly Gucci and McQueen, never quite compare to the classic Burberry scarf. It is such a gorgeous neutral that goes with everything and truly keeps my neck warm. It always travel with me when going to colder destinations and I will often bring it on the actual plane as I tend to get quite chilly. Let&#8217;s just say she has racked up the sky miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This scarf has seen snow, rain, extreme wind, and countless countries. She has also been mistreated quite a few times&#8230; The quality is truly unlike anything I have seen in other scarves and honestly, I am a bit ruined now. Nothing else compares. I ended up purchasing the same scarf for my mother because of how great it is and she agrees &#8211; this scarf is exceptional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1158\" height=\"1544\" data-id=\"2656\" src=\"https:\/\/allurebytess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Burberry-2.jpg\" alt=\"best luxury scarves\" class=\"wp-image-2656\" srcset=\"https:\/\/allurebytess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Burberry-2.jpg 1158w, https:\/\/allurebytess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Burberry-2-300x400.jpg 300w, https:\/\/allurebytess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Burberry-2-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/allurebytess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Burberry-2-800x1067.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1158px) 100vw, 1158px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A chilly day in Adelaise, Australia.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"1920\" data-id=\"2652\" src=\"https:\/\/allurebytess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Burberry-4.jpg\" alt=\"best designer scarf\" class=\"wp-image-2652\" srcset=\"https:\/\/allurebytess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Burberry-4.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/allurebytess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Burberry-4-300x400.jpg 300w, https:\/\/allurebytess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Burberry-4-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/allurebytess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Burberry-4-800x1067.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Spring time in Luxembourg.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to invest in a designer scarf, certainly look into the Burberry collection. They have a wide range of color options if the classic print is a bit too seen for you. Sadly, the classic Burberry Check is one of the most replicated prints out there. Personally, I have my eye on the black and grey color scheme which I believe is technically the men&#8217;s collection. But let&#8217;s be honest, it is very much a unisex item and print.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Valentino Rockstuds:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, I had to finish on a pair of heels! If you know me, you know I absolutely love shoes, especially the tall heeled kind. These babies were one of the first pairs of luxury shoes I ever purchased back in 2017. They were also the first Valentino item I ever purchased. I do consider the Rockstuds to be the best designer heels I have purchased so far. Sorry Jimmy Choo, despite this heartbreaking truth, you are still my favorite overall shoe brand! I did a ridiculous amout of research before investing in these as they&#8217;re quite expensive, especially in the United States. After watching and reading countless reviews of people singing their praises, I went for it and I haven&#8217;t looked back since.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/allurebytess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Valentino-3.jpg\" alt=\"best designer heels first\" class=\"wp-image-2658\" style=\"width:424px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/allurebytess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Valentino-3.jpg 720w, https:\/\/allurebytess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Valentino-3-300x533.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The first photo of my babies when they got delivered back in 2017!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>These are actually fairly comfortable for high heels. I tend to go for them when I have a long evening ahead of me and want to limit the damage to my feet. Quality wise, they barely have any signs of wear and tear; just some fading on the beige part of the heel which is not noticable unless up close. I had the heel caps replaced about a year ago, too. All of the rockstuds are accounted for and the leather doesn&#8217;t really have any scuffs. That&#8217;s impressive in itself as they&#8217;ve been worn to dinners, clubs, and everything in between. To put that in perspective, I have a pair of Louboutin heels that I have worn all of three times and the leather is already peeling off of the heel&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/allurebytess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Valentino-1440x1920.jpg\" alt=\"Valentino rockstud heels\" class=\"wp-image-2653\" style=\"width:396px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/allurebytess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Valentino-1440x1920.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/allurebytess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Valentino-300x400.jpg 300w, https:\/\/allurebytess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Valentino-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/allurebytess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Valentino-800x1067.jpg 800w, https:\/\/allurebytess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Valentino.jpg 1512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">This was for a dinner party after a work conference event!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Some may consider the Valentino Rockstuds to be out of style, but I wholeheartedly disagree. I argue that they are a classic as they&#8217;ve been around for a long time and will always be a great choice for a gorgeous, reliable heel with a bit of a twist. They have a ridiculous amount of colors and you just can&#8217;t beat the comfort. I consider these to be the best shoes Valentino has made by far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the future, I plan to invest in a couple different pairs of these because I love them so much. When you find a pair of heels as tall as these that don&#8217;t make you want to chop your feet off after a couple hours (hi Louboutin), the only natural thing to do is to purchase them in other colors. Obviously.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/allurebytess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Valentino-2-1440x1920.jpg\" alt=\"valentino heels designer\" class=\"wp-image-2655\" style=\"width:406px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/allurebytess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Valentino-2-1440x1920.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/allurebytess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Valentino-2-300x400.jpg 300w, https:\/\/allurebytess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Valentino-2-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/allurebytess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Valentino-2-800x1067.jpg 800w, https:\/\/allurebytess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Valentino-2.jpg 1512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>What&#8217;s your favorite luxury item that you&#8217;ve ever purchased?
