I was, however, one of the lucky ones to have nothing broken! This haul is two $49.95 bags combined - and it included A LOT of trading and a few weeks of gifting. I tried to get a lot of items I would love to wear this spring!
By Philippe - Crystal Butterfly Necklace
Retail Value: $55
The lovely Nery traded me for this necklace. I originally wasn't going to try to trade for it, but I am a sucker for rose gold. It is definitely a dainty necklace. The chain is so small that it is difficult to get on - but once it's on, it's so adorable.
All The Rage - Stone & Crystal Bow Necklace
Retail Value: $30
I absolutely love the colors on this necklace. It screams "spring" to me. The shape of the necklace isn't my favorite, but it does look very nice on. I was afraid the beads would come out of the sockets easily, but they don't seem to budge. I also do like the small crystal accents near the center of the necklace.
All The Rage - Stone Statement Necklace
Retail Value: $30
How pretty is this necklace?! I actually thought it would be bigger (and I do wish it was). I wanted a huge mint statement necklace, and while it is a good size, it's a little smaller than I had pictured in my head. The crystals shine so much more than I thought they would. It is my favorite necklace that I got from this box! This is a great spring necklace.
Robert Rose - Stone Necklace in White
Retail Value: $25
This necklace is the perfect neutral, "goes with anything", kind of necklace. If I want to wear a colored necklace, this will be my go-to necklace to put on. The first stones are an off-white color, the next two are pure white, and the middle 3 stones opalescent - and change colors in the light. The stones on the necklace are so much more pretty thank I thought they would be and the necklace is a great length!
Robert Rose - Flower Cluster Earrings (cool mix)
Retail Value: $20
Robert Rose - Flower Cluster Earrings (warm mix)
Retail Value: $20
A little while after, they came out with the sisters of my other Robert Rose Flower earrings! Of course I felt I HAD to have those too. I considered trading them because I didn't think the colors would go well with my skin tone, but I decided to keep them. I am so glad I did because they are just as adorable!
BCBGeneration - True Love Bracelet
Retail Value: $25
I had my eye on these BCBGeneration bracelets but they were going ridiculously high. I was patient and eventually someone traded this one to me! It is big on my tiny wrists, so I am hoping I can modify it to fit better. I actually was expecting the little gem to be black, but it is a deep blue!
Deux Lux - Empire Strikes Back Wallet
Retail Value: $95
I was honestly in complete, mouth wide open, speechless shock when I saw this wallet. I knew it would be big, but it is HUGE - and HEAVY! I really do like it, but I wish it was a bit smaller. The wallet is definitely quite the piece that I expect to get comments on when I pull it out of my purse. The teal color is beautiful, and I love the polka dot pattern inside. I had been using my old wallet for over 5 years, so it was definitely time to retire it for this bad boy.
Vieta - Jada Satchel
Retail Value: $110
I desperately needed a new black bag. My old one had ripped lining and I've honestly never had a good quality black bag. I've found it with this Jada! It is big, but not too big that I can't carry it daily. I do like that the handles are adjustable enough for it to be a shoulder bag - as that is the kind of bag I prefer. I am so pleased with this bag!
Nila Anthony - Lace Tote in Ivory
Retail Value: $76
LACE! I had seen this bag on older LBB hauls and adored it. Little did I know, they would be bringing it back! I LOVE it! It's the perfect size, perfect drop, perfect lace, perfect bag for me! Under the lace is a tan woven material that helps the lace detailing pop. I will definitely be carrying this bag a lot in spring!
Vieta - Pilar Satchel in Purple
Retail Value: $83
Betsey Johnson - Cat Eye Sunglasses with Bow Detail
Retail Value: $60
These Betsey Johnson sunnies actually didn't come in my box. When I first came on LBB, there was only one pair left and I knew I wouldn't be able to get them. A few weeks later, a fellow trader posted in a facebook group that she wanted to trade these for another pair of sunnies that had come on the site. I worked to trade for the ones she wanted, gifted them to her, and she sent these to me personally! I ADORE them. These sunglasses may be my favorite thing that resulted from my LBB trading experience. They are a little large, but they are so dang cute that I don't even care!
That is my first Little Black bag haul! I will be getting another box soon - likely the end of next week - and it will include a lot more items for my spring collection! :)
