When your little you have dreams about becoming a princess, or living in the Disney World castle, or having a room that looks like the Barbie section of Toys R Us and you rely on your parents to make these dreams come true. As we get older our dreams get more specific and become more like goals. My dream for the last 8 years was to own a Chanel bag. Everything about this classic beauty gave me the worst anxiety when I would walk buy it. The perfectly stitched patchwork, the gold chains that can be adjusted to the size you desire, and the perfectly placed C's that clasp the baby shut. This was the bag that had been carried by some of the most amazing women in the world!
Once reality set in and I realized that this dream was not happening with my wallet I made it a goal to have my mom make this come true. Luckily for me my mom grew up in the center of Hollywood and understood all about my love for designers. Which is why when I was born I made her my best friend :).
When you set goals for yourself its important to be persistent and work hard for them. So for 8 years I worked hard to get my mom to buy me this bag. My mother wasn't born yesterday. She knew as I got older my taste would get more and more expensive. So this purchase shouldn't have been a big surprise.
After 8 years of hard work and determination I was presented with a gift on my last Birthday. A perfect square box wrapped up with the most exciting paper I had ever seen. I opened it and found the love of my life starring me in the face...my Chanel bag. It might have been one of the most fabulous days of my life. And carrying it was everything I thought it would be! Every time I wear my bag I feel like playing dress up. It's like I'm 5 years old and my mom had made my dreams come true again. This my seem like a ridiculous story and you may think "what a spoiled brat", but for me this was my "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and my best friend, my mommy, made it happen.
