Alexander McQueen Nocturnal Key holder!



For ten years I've used a Louis Vuitton Cles as my key holder.  I purchased it mainly because I really loved the Groom print.  For something that I used every single day and for it to last ten plus years shows the kind of quality Louis Vuitton is known for.


As you can see, the colors are starting to rub off but the monogram canvas looks as good as new.  I also really love the size of the Cles because it fits perfectly in my hand.  


The Alexander McQueen key holder was on my fall lust wish list.  Last week I took the plunge and ordered it from their website.  As you can see the Alexander McQueen is substantially bigger than my Louis Vuitton.  It's almost too big for my small hands.  But I can't get over how amazing it looks with unicorns and blue moths.  The zipper pull is a skull which is of course my favorite part.  



I don't use too many keys.  Just three keys and a garage door opener (which is actually really thick and sort of cumbersome to fit in a key holder at times).  

Back in 2005 when I purchased my Louis Vuitton Cles I think I remember it being $195.  For something that's lasted for over ten years I would say it's worth the money.  My new Alexander McQueen key holder cost $295 and I hope it lasts ten years too!

Here's what's in my bag.



I do love my luxury goods!  Counter-clock wise from the top:  Chanel Boy bag, Alexander McQueen card case, Tiffany crocodile card case, Louis Vuitton Evasion Mini Pochette, Alexander McQueen Nocturnal key holder. 


Edit- I also just noticed Nordstrom has this amazing De Manta clutch that is so drool worthy.  Surprisingly the price actually isn't that bad for a clutch.

  1. Beautiful!! I am totally looking at the wallet version of this. It is so stunning. Not sure if I can justify it? what is your take on these lasting a while. Does the imaging seem like it will weather well? If I got it I would go through Nordstroms because they have fantastic customer service!

    1. The image will definitely wear after a while especially if you're using it everyday and if it's in your bag and other items are rubbing against it, it's only a matter of time before it shows wear. But that said my LV groom one lasted 10+ years. You can see wear on it, but technically it still functions fine and still a beautiful piece. I would expect these to last at least 3 years before it starts to show wear on the outside.

      I just noticed Nordstrom also has an amazing version of this print in a clutch! Will have to update this post and include it! Let me know if you decide to purchase the wallet or not.

    1. Hahahahaha, if the one you have is just the monogram canvas one, it won't show any wear at all!!! It will literally look new forever. Thanks! I love Alexander McQueen designs. The skulls, the unicorn, the moths, all of it. It's magical.

We tried HelloFresh for the past two months - Here's our review

Hi everyone! This post is written by my husband. Some of you may know he does all the cooking around here. 😅 We noticed we were spending a lot of money on food and eating out every month and wanted to see if a meal kit service would save us money and time. After looking at a few meal kit services we settled on HelloFresh. Without further ado, here's Jared's review. (Original post date Aug 2022). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As you may have seen from Leslie's Instagram stories for the past 2 months, we've been using HelloFresh for most of our meals. The main drivers for this were to better track what we eat and because on the advice of my doctor, I should be eating more home cooked meals. Before I go any further, it should be noted that my original career path was in culinary arts, but twists and turns in life changed that. So I do have formal cooking experience. A little background story. Over the years, I've developed

Review! Lululemon's Large Everywhere Belt Bag Size Comparison Plus Video!

  Happy Friday! I can't believe it's almost Halloween! I actually have a dentist appointment on Halloween. One of my molars chipped and needs to be filled in. It's a tiny chip that I didn't even notice until my dentist pointed it out to me during my last visit. I'm not looking forward to it at all since I will need local anesthesia.
