Best crossbody travel purse & laptop bag

I have the mini 22 and don't feel it's secure enough for international travel. Bottomline, it's a little bucket bag, roomy because it's open at the top. It never really cinches well enough for stuff not to fall out. I cannot imagine putting my passport in the mini 22.

The regular 22 I feel is more secure compared to the mini 22.

I use my mini 22 for casual days. Not travel. Never.

US Cheek Implant Doctor?

Hi All :heart:, is anyone aware of a reputable US doctor with experience doing cheek implants? The only doctor I have found online with a significant amount of before and afters was Dr. Niamtu in Virginia. Dr. Diamond has content on facial implants but few before and afters. I'm also wondering if it would be better to go with a maxillofacial surgeon (LACOMS) since I know cheek implants are often combined with jaw surgery, but perhaps they would be less aesthetically minded than a plastic surgeon...

Please ID this Kate Moss bag

Anyone happen to know what bag Kate Moss is holding during PFW? My guess is it could be Fendi but not sure..
Think this is the same occasion and this is the bag from another angle. It's a YSL Lyia duffle. Post on the blog: https://www.purseblog.com/saint-laurent/new-and-noteworthy-the-saint-laurent-lyia-duffle/

Florentine micro satchel w tassels or new Florentine satchel 30?

pmart: It's all your fault. I went over to ILD to look at that pebble satchel 30 with
Flo trim in bl/bl...
gone, but the caramel was $93. So of course, I had to buy it.
And then, to avoid shipping, I added the Sorrento double zip satchel that
I had been looking at. Also $93 in 2 of the colors,
My justification.... I don't need another SLG (or 2), so it made more sense
to order 2 bags I didn't need. 🙄🙄🙄

After reading the description of the leather on the main Dooney site...
I decided I really wanted a Sorrento piece. I had ordered and returned
the Sorrento drawstring a few weeks ago. I loved the leather but didn't like the
construction details (no hardware protecting the drawstring around the bag).
I got the dusty pink Sorrento satchel I''m hoping the color is interesting and not too blah or nude.

This is getting out of hand.... so much temptation. So little self control.
So much fun!

I haven't gotten my Penrose satchel yet, but.... I already want another color based on
the description of the leather and input from others who bought it.
Of, course! It happened to me as well. I'm supposed to keep a limited collection, but purchased 2 Alto handbags, a Florentine and 2 cosmetic cases. So far, two have arrived and I love the one, and like the other one enough to keep it (the -51% off adds to the appeal).

Yes, good sale prices tempt us all. Dooney and clothing have been an issue with me in November.

I will try not to think about it until I review my CC statements.

Poshmark won’t refund me after I had a third party authentication deemed not authentic

Poshmark refunded me after they had a third party look at the necklace and found it not authentic. I am very pleased with the outcome, and they apologized for the mistake. Thanks for everyone here who listened it means a lot to me. Happy Holidays to all!
What a great outcome! Congrats! 💕

Advice needed for Knot in Metallic Gold

Hello! First time posting here in BV forum.😊

I’ve always wanted at least one BV Knot in my collection for evening night outs and special events.

What do you guys think of this new gold metallic? Should I worry about potential peeling in the future? Also, with the hefty price tag is it still worth it to get in full price?

Any thoughts is much appreciated! Thanks!❤️

I've had a few metallic BV items, one of which is a transit/id pass holder on a black BV lanyard. This thing has not been babied at all -- it has been in and out of my bag pocket for over 10 years. Sections of the lanyard has surface peeling, but the metallic transit pass has held up superbly. Assuming BV craftsmanship and quality has remained as high as it was during the Tomas Maier era, I wouldn't worry about the metallic knot.

Help me choose- sweet clovers bracelet or double coil full pave serpenti ring? Or something else?

Hi everyone! I just wanted to update because I know I like to read what people ended up choosing. I decided to go with a Birkin because I ruled out the perlee bracelet thanks to this thread, and wasn't completely personally sold on the ring. Here are a few pictures; it's togo leather, Gris Perle, with gold hardware. I don't have many purses, so this is a nice addition to my small collection. I know it's not jewelry and this is a jewelry forum, but I just wanted to update! Happy Holidays!

Keep Chanel 25c or wait?

I'm glad you kept it. I have the white caviar sweetheart bag and I don't think white bags have as much longevity as colors or black. Considering that, I think around 5,000 is the most I would want to have spent.
Also I agree. Didn’t want to spend any more than that for a light colored bag! Also.. I LOVE the white caviar sweetheart bag! I missed it a couple seasons ago.

hourglass cosmetics

I love their Vanish concealer. My skin is super dry and this is the only concealer that covers my dark circles and doesn't make my wrinkles look worse. It is super creamy and natural looking. Another friend of mine just tried it too and couldn't believe how natural it looks, so she's hooked now too!

I don't use foundation because it doesn't tend to work for me, but I am able to use the concealer only on the darker spots on my face, such as under my eyes, under the nostrils, and right under my mouth on either side of my chin. I just dab a tiny bit where I need it, blend it, and my skin looks so much better and like I'm not even wearing makeup.

Also, I just bought 2 of their lipbalm sticks and they are gorgeous also. I saw some feedback on https://ipsy.pissedconsumer.com/customer-service.html, but honestly, my experience has been really positive. Decent wear for a gloss and doesn't clump.

In short, I can't recommend this brand highly enough!
Yes, Hourglass foundations are great for fair and sensitive skin. The Vanish Seamless Finish Stick and Ambient Soft Glow Foundation are both good options. They’re fragrance-free, lightweight, and non-irritating. Shades like Alabaster or Porcelain may suit your tone. Definitely worth trying if you're at Bon Marché.

Mini Rectangle or Nano Shopper (Kelly) in Black?

I have both. I added the beige Nano shopper last week .I would opt for the mini rectangle if i have to choose one . I love the leather more(prefer lambskin over calf ).
This Fuchsia mini from chanel 2024 Metier dart is my favorite chanel bag in my collection. Also love tweedIMG_6502.jpeg
