Her Chamber of Chic-ness!

They say children, a new job, a near-death experience, yadda yadda yadda can change your life. Well, I’m here to add something to that list- walking into a Tory Burch store.

PAUSE: You will only think this is silly and superficial if you have never been in one. I’m not talking about a TB display in Bloomie’s, Saks or even my beloved CUSP. Nope, no ma’am. I’m talking about a freestanding beauty solely dedicated to the genius of Ms. Burch.

I popped my TB cherry while lustfully walking down Robertson Blvd in Los Angeles. And boy o boy, what a first time! From the bright orange and classic navy color scheme complete with accents of gold and crystal to the racks and racks of cardiac-arrest inducing TB masterpieces, this place is literally life-altering.

The Revas purrr at you like stray kittens looking for a home, while glam-meets-prep rings and bracelets sing a song so seductive even a practicing nun couldn’t resist. Forgive me father, for I have Burched!

So given that, imagine how fast lil’ Shopaholic Mimi cracked- quicker than a Forever21 stiletto!

As I moved towards the back of the TB palace, depressed that I couldn’t afford much more than the (free) postcard, those Sirens began to sing once more.

There she was- a white lucite cuff emblazoned in a gaudy, yet sinfully chic fashion with those unmistakable T’s. I was imagining all-black outfits with this one pop of crisp white, while summer was demanding head-to-pinkietoe white with the cuff being the monochromatic pièce de résistance.

I got my shot...you get yours?

O, and her price tag? Totally Terrific at $45. Though we met just a few weeks ago, I have worn my new goody more times than I can even count. Cornflower blue silk wrapdress? Yep! Airport-signature all-back? Of course? Jeans and white tee? You betcha!

One of my best friends is black!

But this cuff is more than just a new accessory to pair with some top and whatever dress. Instead it is a way for me- an infant in this strange world of “gal-at-work”- to gain entry into the wildy expensive, but totally worth it world of Ms. Tory Burch.

So, go on HighEnd-RearEnders, go get your TB Shot before the rest of the world discovers the mind-boggling price and utter fabolous-ness of this find.
