2014 resolution - shopping from my own bag and wallet collection. Any one else? 2

[louvigilante]

Well I added to my collection today first stop with my mom and sis was a bust but then hubby and I braved the mall. Headed to Coach first searching for a borough. They had one black pebbled leather borough and quite a bit of the smooth leather with and without zippers. The boroughs were marked down to 397 then an additional 20% off. I didn't really want to spend that much so I put it down and headed to MK. MK was so insane and nothing really caught my eye so I headed back to Coach. The black pebbled borough was being held on to by someone else. I figured it was not meant to be, but hubby said just wait. So she eventually put her down, and I grabbed her and hubby told me to just get the borough. He said if I didn't get it I would regret it so I got it!!! I'm in the borough club too



I'll try to attach a pic but she is gorgeous! So happy!

Oh lovely!! Just lovely.

Time for me to fess up: I'm hunting for a certain bag at the moment. It's somewhere between stores and have to call a few times a day to see if they can locate it. Fingers crossed I can find it, if not, it wasn't meant to be.

Congrats! She's beautiful. I had/have been eyeing the borough and I looove the way it looks but sadly, doesn't work too well for me I'll have to enjoy through you ladies.

Tnx for setting me straight Dcooney! Tuuli, apologies! I still stand by it being a grt bag!

Louvigilante - what are u searching for???

We did brave the crowds and went south to the outlets and ONLY came away with what we were looking for which were birthday gifts for a few family members for my dh to take home with him in a couple of days. Coach had a number of boroughs but that was pretty much the highlight. Nothing really caught my eye - a few bags here and there but despite the good deal, I passed. Just felt happy with what I have.

Ooh JennyErin, a Borough, congrats! I love yours! My vermillion Borough, purchased earlier this year was a great addition to my closet!

lou, you now have us all on pins and needles! Hmm, wonder what bag you're hunting right now! Fingers crossed you get it!

egg, great job on resisting outlet deals and buying gifts!

 

[dcooney4]

JennyErin- Congrats on your lovely borough bag.

 

[bakeacookie]

Having issues uploading! Lol

But Ooh, post pics of new bags!

 

[purplepoodles]

I am loving my m0851 bag. It is quite a comfortable crossbody . I also like the pocket that holds my phone because it is easy to grab it out .I am delighted !

Great under the radar brand! Which model do you have?

My passport/phone travel bag is m0851 as is my computer bag. They are bombproof and mint go in the washing machine after trips.

 

[JennyErin]

Oh lovely!! Just lovely.

Thank you lou and EEEEEE I hope you can find her! Can't wait to find out what it is!!

Thanks egg and huge congrats on your boxing day restraint! I am actually feeling extremely content now too. Though we will see how long that lasts..... haha.

Mimmy your borough is gorgeous, I love seeing it! I don't go back to work until January 5th and I can't wait because then I get to use her haha. I was kind of hoping to nab this bag in a color other than black but I could not pass up the pebbled leather, it was tdf!

JennyErin- Congrats on your lovely borough bag.

Thank you dc!!

 

[JennyErin]

Oh and here is a "right way" pic haha.

I hope everyone had a wonderful and restful day yesterday! No bags for me, but I did get an slg from H.

Congrats on your H slg! I love the electric blue. It's so vibrant. Can't wait to to see the scarf.

Thank you! I feel like I come here often because of my family here. Lol. Possibility of just coming to the UK yearly. Haha.

I was in London for like 6 hours. Haha.

Thanks! It's been fun so far.

Awesome! My internet is lame so I can't see the photos. What material is it?

I did see this photo earlier before Internet died, and I remember they were adorable!

Yes! Lauduree keychains!

And it was Bond in Motion, a collection of vehicles from the 007 movies

Oh my goodness. This color! What color is it?

And, because it takes hours to load photos, here's my bag! I took it to the Ritz for Christmas tea yesterday!

Christmas Haul! There's more but I'll have to upload when it's not so slow.

Woo hoo!! That's my kind of vacation. Keep it coming... Love every single thing. What a perfect h orange!

Happy Holidays again ladies! Haven't bought any bags yet, but a friend of mine let me use her vintage Celíne macadam print canvas tote bag and tempting me to buy it haha! I've used it for a few days though but have changed into a more "down-to-earth" bag today. With down-to-earth I meant an inexpensive, department store bag. It's a hobo style bag but crossbody and with saffiano leather-like material. It's not in my bag master list as I know this will go eventually. I thought the rains will continue bec. it was gloomy in the morning so I switched to it. And also, may I also present to you my new Coach wallet that I bought for my birthday (Oct) but didn't get to use until a month after. Not love at first sight when she arrived but she has all that I need for a wallet. She's good for now

Pretty everything. Belated congrats on your bday wallet.

I hope you all had an amazing Christmas!! New Years is next and I am really looking forward to 2015.

Boxing Day today, which is like black Friday in the States. I don't usually shop anymore on Boxing Day but my mom, sister and I are planning to go to a local boutique to check out the deals. I have been eyeing a couple RM styles and they have an amazing selection. Not actually planning on buying anything but I do have some Christmas $$ so if I do find something for an amazing deal I will most likely let myself go a little "crazy" haha.

Hope you had fun with your mom and sister shopping on Boxing Day! If you go "crazy" then be it!!! All these sales are tempting.😁

LVintage, I actually thought that lively was a good description of the color, lol!! I sometimes laugh at my own posts/texts with autocorrect!

dcooney and JennyErin, thanks for the slg love. I am hoping that if I continue to behave, a bigger H box shows up at my house someday, lol!

Oooohhh...I hope a giant h box shows up at your house too!!!! And maybe makes its way to mine too. Lol

Thanks for all the compliments on the stuff so far.

As Jenny mentioned, it's Boxing Day!

And it's absolute madness.

And bake came home with two more bags. I've gone insane.

But they're Longchamp totes that I hadn't seen at home so it's justified, haha.

I thought I posted earlier but I guess it didn't go through. Silly Internet.

YES!!! Insane is good! Can't wait to see.

Cute!

I went to the mall today, needed to return something and it was crazy. Worse than Black Friday. Lord and Taylor had many Coach and MK bags 60% off but I did not buy anything.

I was using my new MZ Wallace Lizzy today (the color is called Bordeaux). Perfect crossbody and pretty color!

Tuuli, good job passing up those coach and MK bags. All these sales are tempting me too. Your Lizzy is so pretty. That color is gorgeous!

 

[AmorNChanel]

Mimmy - congrats on the H, it's a gorgeous color!



Bake - holy moly, you're doing well! Keep bringing it in! Haha. Everything looks amazing!



LVintage - love the color of the hobo and I love the pattern of ur coach wallet, thought many times of picking up the slim wallet in that pattern. Congrats!



Dcooney - ur mz is perfect for boxing day crowds and love that color.



DH and I are still waking up. Every year we watch lord of the rings and this year we watched the new hobbit as well. Next year we'll have all 6 movies to watch haha. Debating whether to head south for boxing day shopping, will have to check border waits.

Egg, what a great tradition. Do you watch the movies back to back?

LV, Tuuli & Mimmy great items! 👍

Today DH & I are on a mini road trip, heading up to the farm where we were married for the weekend. The midpoint of the trip is the Woodbury Commons outlet. Which to me is super insane how that place has expanded over the years, my grandparents literally used to live down the street & I remember it was just a giant green field when I was little. Anyway, DH wanted to stop bc he got a Cole Haan gift certificate from Santa Claus but hot damn I should have known better than to go to that crazy place the day after Christmas! It was a friggen war zone in there!!! 🔪🔪🔪

Anyway DH got 3 pairs of shoes on clearance but all the shops I would have wanted to browse (Balenciaga, Gucci, Hunter boots, etc) had lines all the way around to the next store. Not worth the wait. We did buy a piece of Tumi luggage bc we're slowly replacing our old crappy suitcases with Tumis every time we're back east but otherwise I only came away with a Lululemon headband, lol. For those of you Lulu fans they had reversible bang buster headbands which are never on sale or avail in the outlet so I am calling it a success 🙌

So not much of a haul for me from one of the mega US shopping meccas! DH was the shopper of the day today, haha

Have a great mini trip. I can imagine the insanity at the outlets. Sounds like you did well regardless.

I'll try to attach a pic but she is gorgeous! So happy!

What a beauty! She is simple and classic. You are borough cousins with Mimmy. I have been considering one too but can't decide. For me it would make a great work bag in this size. Congrats!!

 

[AmorNChanel]

Oh lovely!! Just lovely.

Time for me to fess up: I'm hunting for a certain bag at the moment. It's somewhere between stores and have to call a few times a day to see if they can locate it. Fingers crossed I can find it, if not, it wasn't meant to be.

Hope you find your bag. Keeping fingers crossed for you.

Great job resisting. The boroughs have been hitting the outlets recently and tempting me.

Oh and here is a "right way" pic haha.

Congrats again!
