So, “Top Grade MIU MIU Jewelry,” as you so eloquently put it. What *is* it? Well, first off, let’s get one thing straight: Miu Miu isn’t exactly known for understatement, ya know? We’re talkin’ bold, we’re talkin’ sometimes a little *too* sparkly, we’re talkin’ about that slightly-off-kilter-but-still-somehow-chic vibe that Miuccia Prada (that’s the genius behind Miu Miu) just seems to conjure up outta thin air.
I mean, you can scroll through Lyst and see stuff from like, $244. That’s… that’s not exactly chump change, is it? For jewelry? But then again, you’re paying for the name, the design, and probably a whole lotta marketing. And let’s be real, the stuff *is* pretty eye-catching. I saw some earrings the other day, I think they were on Bloomingdale’s (because who *doesn’t* love Bloomingdale’s, seriously!), and they were just… *chef’s kiss*. A little bit gaudy, a little bit ironic, totally Miu Miu.
And then there’s the whole “Upcycled” thing. Miu Miu’s doing a whole collection where they’re using… well, upcycled stuff. Which, I gotta admit, is kinda cool. It makes you feel a little less guilty about dropping a small fortune on something, knowing that at least it’s *slightly* more sustainable. (Emphasis on the ‘slightly’ there, folks).
Honestly, though, the thing about Miu Miu jewelry is that it’s just… fun. It’s not your grandma’s pearls (unless your grandma is, like, super hip and wears platform boots). It’s meant to be noticed. It’s meant to be a statement. And whether that statement is “I have too much money” or “I’m a fashion icon in the making,” well, that’s up to you, innit?
The free shipping, though? That’s always a plus. Especially when you’re talkin’ about potentially dropping hundreds, if not thousands, on a few shiny bits. Bloomingdale’s is always good for that Loyallist perk, which is nice, I guess.
