First off, lemme just say, the Saint Laurent bag situation at Bloomies is serious. We’re talking *serious*. Like, you’re clutching a Cassandre Envelope Chain Wallet (which, honestly, I still can’t pronounce properly) and suddenly you feel like you’re walking in slow motion, even if you’re just running to grab a coffee. I might be exaggerating. Okay, maybe I am. But still! That’s the image, right?
And don’t even get me started on the free shipping and returns. Honestly, Bloomingdale’s knows what they’re doing. They *know* you’re gonna impulse-buy that YSL lipstick (The Slim Velvet Radical Matte Lipstick…sooo good BTW) and then panic when you see your bank account. But hey, you can always send it back, right?
The whole “buy online and pick up in store” thing is clutch too. Like, you’re already there, might as well browse the men’s section, you know? See if you can find something for your boyfriend/husband/imaginary boyfriend. The Saint Laurent men’s collection is pretty sick. Very, like, rockstar chic. Even if my own style is more, um, “comfortable,” I can still appreciate it. And, let’s be real, I’m totally eyeing that Le Vestiaire des Parfums Tuxedo cologne. A spicy unisex scent? Sold! I’m imagining myself in a tux, sipping a martini, even though the most exciting thing I did last night was binge-watch Netflix.
Oh, and the Loyallist program? Don’t even get me going! Getting a $25 reward for every $100 you spend? It’s basically an excuse to buy *more* Saint Laurent. Bloomingdales are absolute enablers…but I ain’t complaining.
The fact that they carry stuff in Saudi Arabia too? Kinda random. I guess Saint Laurent is a global thing, not just a “walk around Manhattan pretending you’re rich” thing.
