I'm one of those people who celebrate my birthday *basically* all month long. What can I say? I love a sparkly dress, an excuse to order champagne at dinner, and free desserts from restaurants. Not to mention the real best part about birthdays, which is getting to splurge a little bit on a gift for myself. After all, I deserve it. This year, I wanted to get myself a little designer treat.
I have been itching for that "just left a designer store with a shopping bag in hand" feeling, and with it being my birthday season, I basically had no choice but to do so. I started looking for what designer item I wanted to get for myself, and I knew I wanted to keep the item around $500 or less. After doing some digging on Nordstrom and Net-a-Porter, I ended up with 30 designer goods that were so chic I couldn't keep them to myself. I found the most elevated Saint Laurent passport holder, a Burberry bear bag charm that's so adorable that it hurts, a pair of Miu Miu sunglasses I'm sure are about to sell out, and so many more small designer accessories you're going to love.
Keep scrolling to take a peek at my list of under-$500 designer goods.
