My 22nd birthday is just right around the corner. If you did not know, I was born on 3rd October 1996 in Salt Lake City, Utah. In my infant to toddler years, I was raised in South Jordan, Utah. Libra in the astrology horoscope and a Rat in the Chinese zodiac. I thought this would be a fun birthday wishlist to do. Recently, I noticed that a lot of people would do ’22 Things I Learned As A 22-Year-Old’ or ’22 Facts About Me’, etc. I decided what an original idea to do 22 Designer Wishlist, right? It’s probably not that original, haha.

I do not know why, but I am going through a designer phase right now. All I want to do in my spare time is look at all the designer accessories that I am most likely never going to buy. I remember when I was younger, when my mom was researching a designer item she wants to purchase, she would ask me for my opinion. Being the little ‘young adult’ I was, I thought that designer things were such a waste of money because I felt like monograms are ugly.

Designer Phase

My designer phase started when I came back from my friend’s wedding in San Diego. I had misplaced my Louis Vuitton wallet during the last 2 hours of the trip (perfect timing right?). The wallet was a birthday gift from my mom when I turned 20. It was the Louis Vuitton Damier Azure Clemence Wallet with Rose Ballerina.

Designer Wishlist

Anyways, after trying to figure out if I wanted to invest in the same wallet again or a different one, I got sucked into forums regarding designer items. Let me tell you, I was trapped. I can spend hours and hours going through forums about designer items. Looking at photos all day made me want to start my own collection. I hope I snap out of this phase soon. Otherwise, I am going to end up homeless in a year at the spending rate I’m going.

Here are 22 designer things on my birthday wishlist if I became a multimillionaire.

1. Louis Vuitton Damier Azure Rose Ballerina Clemence Wallet
2. Louis Vuitton Monogram Pochette Metis
3. Louis Vuitton Damier Azure Neverfull MM
4. Louis Vuitton Monogram Keepall 55
   • Really thinking about investing in one since I plan to be traveling a lot next year.
5. Louis Vuitton Damier Azure Key Pouch
6. Louis Vuitton Monogram Mini Palm Springs Backpack
7. Louis Vuitton Montsouris Backpack
   • I liked the older mini style better than the new version because of the bottom canvas part
   • Most likely will buy a preloved one since I do not believe that they still sell the older style!
8. Louis Vuitton Bom Dia Flat Mule
   • My boss at the nail salon I work at owns a pair of these and I’m always drooling over them.
9. Louis Vuitton Monogram Baxter XSmall Dog Collar
   • I know I do not have a dog, but can we just take a moment to appreciate how cute this collar is? Just look at the bow! I was even debating to get a dog so I can buy this collar. Would it even be socially acceptable to wear this collar on me? Probably not but it’s just so cute. I’m obsessed.
10. Louis Vuitton Damier Azur Sperone Backpack
11. Cartier Love Ring Yellow Gold
12. Chanel Espadrilles Lambskin Beige
    • I actually pull the plug and got one for my birthday! Happy birthday to me. My first ever Chanel purchase.
13. Chanel Medium Le Boy Light Beige
14. Chanel Rectangular Flap Quilted Chevron Iridescent Mini Light Gold
    • I’m not entirely sure if this style and color only come in the mini size. Would love the medium size in this color and style. Does it even exist?
15. Chanel Pilot Glasses Rose Gold

Conclusion

Okay, so I lied. I thought I could find 22 designer items I wanted to put on my wishlist, but this whole post is a lie. While I do love looking at designer things, realistically, I am not sure if they are really for me or if it is just a phase. I rather invest in one handbag or backpack, use it until I am bored with it, then resell it in order to purchase another one. This phase is honestly like a rollercoaster: one moment I’m fascinated with designer things and brand names everything, then the next moment, I think it’s a waste of money. Not trying to talk down on people who enjoy designer things – we all have that one thing we do not mind splurging on. Being a college student, I have to be more practical with my spending, and creating this designer wishlist was pretty fun.

Also, do we see a trend of backpacks on my designer wishlist? Haha, I’m not really a purse person, to be honest. Backpacks are more practical for me since I’m a student. Hope you all enjoyed this blog post and maybe it inspired you all to invest in a designer item or something. Check out my other blog posts here!
