Hi all! I wanted to pop in and say hello to all my fellow Belenistas! I've been keeping a low profile as I'm on extreme purse-ban, but I have to say, I hate missing out on the forum.

I hope everyone is doing well and loving their new bags! Or, if you're like me, getting loads of use out of your old bags and loving them even more!

I'm loving some of the new styles, but I'm not sure how I feel about the new payment procedures and all that. In this world of heightened financial security, it only makes sense, but darn it, i want everything to be easy! Well, maybe it's good that it's not as it's helping me out on the good old purse-ban.

Although I have to wonder, what's up on bonanzle today!

Hi, KCD! I'm getting use out of older bags but also loving new! But I am keeping my collection small! There are so many lovely bags on Bonanzle that it's hard to visit there and not walk away with something! I love ordering new bags from BE but I have to admit that I love the instant gratification that comes from buying off Bonanzle! LOL!

Hi Kcd! Refresh our memory as to what BE's you own...! so we can see what you are enjoying.

Hi KCD!

So nice to see you but I completely understand about re-focusing to keep the bag ban going. WHich of your BE styles do you enjoy the most right now?

I have the following BEs

Pewter Crash Clutch Me (which I have only had a chance to use once)
Pewter Crash IM (which I've been using daily for the last two weeks)
Black Crash IYT
Dark Grey LM
Dark Grey SMM

I went on a BE binge in 2008 - early 2009

Hey KCD!

You have one of THE best BE's!!! The Dark Grey LM....a cult classic!!!

Nice to see you again! If only for a few fleeting moments!!!

Hi KCD - It has been a long time! Welcome back. I totally understand about your purse ban. I have been following my one in and one out rule, but the whole forum in general is one big temptation! BE has a few new styles I'm looking at, but so far I have refrained.

I think it is easier because my Dark Grey Love Me Midi and Black Crash TME Midi hadn't seen the light of day in the summer months. So, essentially they are new again to me.

I'm pretty sure I'll cave after Christmas.

You have a wonderful collection, so enjoy! When you are feeling strong enough pop back in.

tlloveshim · Nov 4th, 2009, 09:39 AM

Oh, a black crash IYT sounds gorgeous! What's an IM? I cannot figure it out! LOL!

^^ is it Indulge Me?

kcd1695 - enjoy your lovely bags!

tlloveshim · Nov 4th, 2009, 12:57 PM

Indulge Me! Yes! I couldn't think of it!! Thank you! Oh, and in pewter!! Nice!

kcd1695 · Nov 4th, 2009, 05:18 PM

Yup, it's the Indulge Me. The other day i had it sitting out on my desk with both zipper compartments open and the snaps undone. My (male) coworker asked me of it was two bags, or two bags stuck together, or what? They do like to pick on me!
