Euridice, this one of (ahem) my consolation purchases for not getting another Gabi in the sale last week (could not get any of the three colors I would have wanted). The Coach bag is unbelievably soft, especially for Coach.

Love your new Zoe! That leather is incredible!

Here is my new Nikki from the RM online sample sale: Post Your Online Sample Sale Loot HERE!! :)

pinkshoulders · Jun 30th, 2009, 10:01 PM

That's a nice color Nikki! I have never held one in person and I fear that the shoulder clearance would not be enough for me to be comfortable. And then I would be heartbroken like when I had to send the RM PlanB back.

Meanwhile, last week was a major budget meltdown. I have a Burberry en route form Nordstrom, a Lockheart Avant Garden Paula and the Editorial Zoe in my collection as a result. Must...get...a...grip.

Euridice · Jul 1st, 2009, 12:09 PM

gorgeous Nikki!!!! WOW, Greenpixie, congratulations on this splendid addition to your wardrobe!

Pinkshoulders, wow, I will be checking this thread to see these new bags, they sound great!

No Cute · Jul 1st, 2009, 12:16 PM

OOOOOooooooooooooooo pretty loot.

I guess I need a pic of the inside of my engine for this thread, eh? I just put a Mini Emilia into it.

greenpixie · Jul 1st, 2009, 01:29 PM

Thanks girls! I am letting her "air out" a little more before I carry her again - I took Ms. Nikki to work with me yesterday and the smell of the leather finishing wafting around my desk was not so pleasant. I love the color and the style though! You were right, E - I am a Nikki convert.

Pinkshoulders, I thought the same about the shoulder drop until I finally had a chance to try one on in person. It is actually quite comfy the way the leather slouches, hangs, and kind of folds over at the top.

NC, the amount you mentioned for your car did not seem so bad, until you put in terms of a mini Gabby.

No Cute · Jul 1st, 2009, 01:58 PM

In normal terms, the 350 isn't hideous for a car (though overpriced for what needs doing), but in purse terms, very sad.

Euridice · Jul 1st, 2009, 02:28 PM

I find the shoulder drop of the mini nikki to be a little short....it slouches and folds so you can jam your arm through just fine, but I like a wee bit more drop, which you get with the full size nikki. With the way it folds over, it works really nicely!! Sending back a gorgeous Nikki would indeed be heartbreaking. Wait, did we know you sent a plan b back? I'll have to look back through this thread, my memory is going down the drain.

No Cute, I love the way you put everything you have to spend $$ on in terms of a non-Ignes purchase!!

No Cute · Jul 1st, 2009, 02:40 PM

Do I? *blush* Yes, lots of purse math. But not EVERYthing....just the really gross stuff that SHOULD be purses: septic field, auto repair, go in pics.

Euridice · Jul 1st, 2009, 02:57 PM

Exactly, someone has to take a stand with these disgusting wastes of perfectly good purse money! Someone has to stand up and let people know!!

I shall speak out

pinkshoulders · Jul 1st, 2009, 07:21 PM

I am right with you on the speaking out. I have graced my dentist with purse math when given stunning estimates: "$2400? That's four really nice handbags, you know."

The PlanB got sent back last year, or whenever right after it was introduced, so I don't think I was on this thread at the time.

I got the Burberry today...and I am swooning. This is the closest to an HG bag I have ever come, having waited 9 months for the 60% percent off and then a week for it to toddle across the country. Because the week seemed as long as the previous nine months!

greenpixie · Jul 1st, 2009, 09:11 PM

Ooh pics pics!

pinkshoulders · Jul 1st, 2009, 09:39 PM

OK, you convinced me. I have been fighting a summer cold and working late but now I have an excuse to goof off and take photos, probably Friday.

greenpixie · Jul 1st, 2009, 09:52 PM

Yay! I am so excited for you! Close to HG status deserves photos...
