Pixie did you keep the Prada? Your new car is lovely!

Jenny I ended up selling my 36 hr GD. It was just too big for me, and I needed the money for other things. How do you like your new bags from AFF?

Love all the shoes! esp the Yellowbox flip flops

I just got a RM Morning After Clutch & love it. I wanted something small and easy & I got it on sale.

Crazy purchases - not bags!
I've been invited to two weddings this summer, so i thought it'd be nice to invest in a nice dress and a pair of beautiful shoes... please dont look at the cheap clutch... i couldnt afford a suitable purple bag... please picture me with a gorgeous BV purple satin knot clutch!

Maria..you look CRAZY GORGEOUS in that dress! It really is a stunner as are you! WOW.

PixieChic...I just love your new ride. Since I'm still knee-deep in motherhood, it will be many more years before I drive anything that seats less than seven. My Suburban is my second home...full of kids, stuff and always ready to go somewhere.

Asbb--I dare not venture into RM land with the MAC. I've looked at them many times over the last year and really do want one. Still, I can't make myself take the leap, but with the new deep turquoise coming out, that may be it. I don't own any RM but I love looking in the subforum sometimes. And you really should get yourself a pair of YellowBox flip flops. I just love them!

Exquisite Maria, adorable dress, ravishing shoes - who is going to look at the bag?

Here is my new to me Prada tote. The leather is like butter and I like the simplicity of the style, but I can already tell it's going to be ridiculously difficult to keep clean!

This bag is really beautiful. I love the clean lines and the leather looks very smooshy! Thankfully, I am safe from this bag as I cannot be trusted to carry a white bag at any price point. I'm just not careful enough, and if I don't mess it up, one of my kids is sure to step on it in the front seat of my car!

I love this thread, although it is rather dangerous!

You look lovely Maria, gorgeous dress and beautiful shoes.

Exactly.

Maria - You look beautiful.

I don't have a BV knot clutch, but I'd let you borrow my Plum Crash Clutch Me if you lived near me!

Sadly, the Prada went back to NM. It was a gorgeous bag, but just not the right one for me. The car, on the other hand, is a keeper!

mariabdc, that dress is stunning on you! Wow!

mariabdc · Jul 16th, 2009, 08:23 AM

Thanks, ladies, for your kind comments. You are making me flush..

I just hope to be able to breathe and walk simultaneously on Saturday evening... I need to do some training tonight and tomorrow...

Msterling - thanks for your kind offer... i will take you up on another occasion!

*suzi* · Jul 16th, 2009, 11:30 AM

Maria - I just have to throw in one more

. You really do look amazing. I hope you have fun at the wedding!

Tejas - I really like that bag. It is super soft, but just as anticipated it was so dirty by the time I came home. I had no choice but to try and clean it up. The great thing about not paying retail is it's not quite as scary to be daring with the clean up. So, I am happy to report it is back to it's original condition waiting for me to mess it up again.

asbb, I returned EVERY one of the three bags! lol! The straps were either too short to stay on as well as I'd like or the leather was boring. So I still have a decent credit there. Just waiting for a new BE or Mulberry to show up. I know I must drive them crazy.

Maria, you are gorgeous as ever! Muy guapa!!!

pixie, "zoom zoom" is right! Wow!! Absolutely tdf!! Hope you LOVE her!! Congrats!!

Jenny1963 · Jul 16th, 2009, 11:57 AM

suzi, I absolutely LOVE your ivory Prada!! Simple and gorgeous. You have great taste!! There's nothing better than an ivory bag in the summer (well, maybe a tall gin and tonic with lots of lime AND an ivory bag beats it, but just barely!!)

tenKrat · Jul 16th, 2009, 01:57 PM

Maria, you look so pretty in your new dress and shoes! I love the purple shoes!
