Hard to tell from the view posted but some of them look kinda interesting...love the boots.
Those fashion catwalk bags, how about those styles?
2019 resolution - shopping my own bag and wallet collection. Any one else?

Thank you for your insights! I definitely want to try the empriente....a great plus too that it is lightweight!Thank you! I worried about the empriente leather, but it's held up very well. Then again, I don't carry it every day. So far, in 2018-2019, I've carried it 23 times, which I realize isn't much.
I haven't noticed it slouching. It's a very different design from a Speedy, though. Open top, so no zipper to keep opening and closing. (There's a zipper in the center divider, but I never use it.)
I just pulled the bag out of the closet to check, to see if it's slouching, and I realized how very thing the leather is! I guess that's what I like about this bag: it weighs next to nothing. But it probably would slouch, if it were to be overstuffed.
All in all, my best answer is… "it depends."
Did u mean the 6 key case? They do still sell this one, its just very hard to get....
Not some particular prints or something, but I'm enjoying (and trying) more feminine daily office outfits. I'm trying to minimize wearing 'just' a black pair of slacks and a blouse. That's the easiest outfit to don. I want something that looks more thought out but not overly done.I’d love some real world inspiration. What current clothing trends are you ladies enjoying mixing into your looks? Which ones from past seasons are you not giving up?
For me, I’m playing a teeny bit with animal print. I’ve been around long enough that this can look real tacky real fast to me though. So, I’m using a very light hand. My favorite animal print items are a pair of grey leopard print pants and a cheetah print trench. Both are items I had so I’m not buying anything yet. I’m also looking for a cape that is more coat than super hero. Lol! I’ve always loved capes and IMO they don’t really go out of style. And I also have also loved architectural styling in my clothes so asymmetrical necklines are an easy one for me to get excited about.
Other than that, I don’t see anything particularly moving to me. What am I missing that you are excited about?
What I’m not giving up: first up is my skinny jeans with a natural waist. It took me a long time to come back to jeans and this style works for my figure. I don’t care who wears high waisted jeans or mom jeans (or bell bottoms or any other style for that matter) I’m not joining in. I also still have my one pair of sock boots from last season. They are a practical keep as they are comfy so I my toe which still needs more surgery is happy. I’ll be sad when I really do have to give these up. Lol! And lastly, I have some off the shoulder items that I won’t give up. I think with asymmetrical necklines being in, I can still mix my tops and dresses in fashionably.
What about you?
And I think it is still on trend here, I wear a lot of sneakers/fashion athletic shoes with casual dresses/skirts on non-work days.
An on pointy heels, I have maybe 2-3 pairs that work, surprisingly comfy! So since I feel the style adds a bit of 'zazz to outfits, I happily take advantage!
Oh my, you have a wonderful LV collection!!
I don't like structured bags showing even slight slouches. I'm a bit OCD when it comes to this.
This also works for me! I like it!

I am the same. The only thing I would add is boots as I live up north.
Thank you! The sequined bag has an interesting history. It was a F/W 13 special Runway bag, one of the bags shown in the MJ fashion show for that season. (Here it is, being carried by an elegant model).

That year, it sold for bunches and bunches of $$$. But a couple of years later, it popped up on TRR for just a bit over $200. A tPF buddy, who is an MJ authenticator, gave me a heads-up, and I grabbed it.
It's a pretty amazing bag. The entire thing is lined in soft leather, so it's by no means lightweight. But it's small, and it's smooshy, so the weight isn't a problem for me.
Fabulous and a lucky find

The 2 on the right seem quite nice but as you know I have a thing for round bags
The color of this one is magnificent. But I certainly understand what you're saying about the weight. How often do you carry it?
That's a term I've not heard before, but I can visualize exactly what you mean. Can you give me an example of how you would wear a moody floral? Would it be a dress, or could it be a smaller piece, worn as an accent?
This top is terrific! Fun to combine the businesslike look of pinstripes with the girly puffed sleeves and the saucy slit down the front. Excellent!
I love your collection as well! You have some of my favorites.
Honestly, I get it. I really like LV canvas, but for me, it's hard to justify getting a new bag in the same print and there are some bags that just seem to be everywhere--I also find that a deterrent.
But I think their leather is really underrated, and I like the designs, service and price points compared to other $$$ brands. Also a lot of the limited edition pieces are really gorgeous and fun.
What a beautiful color, and such a classic bag
Wowza! Just stunning...i have not looked too far past mono-land , but seeing your bags and @tenKrat ’s bags , makes me want to venture out....the city steamer in particular is just
SpeechlessAnd regarding the Multicolore.....dated?! I would kill for one! Black or white. But all the ones i see on the resale market have very dirty vachetta generally
You are so fortunate to have one, along with all of your other beautiful bags...
Thank you, @jbags07! I am lucky, and I spent a loooong time looking for the multicolore in a condition I'd be happy with. I was so glad to score this one!
Thanks, @msd_bags! I like your style a lot--what are you experimenting with for work outfits?Not some particular prints or something, but I'm enjoying (and trying) more feminine daily office outfits.

And you mentioned another trend I can't pull off--sneakers with dresses. I think this look is soooo chic, but whenever I try it, I look like I forgot to finish changing after gym class.
This is a gorgeous collection.
Thank you, @ElainePG! I carry the Capucines about once every other month. The weight really makes it impractical for a lot of situations, so I'll probably never take it traveling or for a long day of shopping or anything. But I drive to work, so I don't mind carrying it to the office where the only time I'm really carrying it is out to lunch or to the car.
Thank you! It's one of my favorites! For moody florals, I think of it as florals with a fall/winter bent, usually on a black background and with darker tones in the flowers themselves (rather than having a spring/summer vibe). I remember this from the 90s in the form of tank dresses worn over white t-shirts and paired with Doc Martens and tattoo chokers.
Now I see it on blazers, blouses and dresses, though I'm sure it's on other items as well. This Coach dress at the top is "moodier" than most, but here a few examples:
