Thanks for all the compliments on my little Coach bag!



The weather has been gross... rainy, dreary and cold. :rain: So I'm back in my LC and hunter boots.

Love the boots cupcake!

Aww, LVk8, I'm sorry about your NF, hopefully it will blend in over time.

dcooney, glad the Kelsey is a winner!

So pretty lou! Great color too!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!! 😊🎉🎉🎉



Thanks Mimmy! I just have to let u all know so I can be more accountable. I REALLY HAVE TO bec. I want to be healthier not just for myself but for my family esp. my little kids

It's always great to work toward healthy goals! We will keep each other accountable!

Lou the color is fab!!!

And Happy New Year to all the ladies of my fav thread

BTW thank you all for the NF condolences, lesson learned, LVs don't belong in the overhead compartment of an airplane. The scratches aren't too deep thankfully & I've been doing the massage techniques you all suggested. The scratches are on one leaf of each of the handles, here's my hot stamped leaf....

I ended up trying my midnight coach Kelsey today anyway. The burgundy top I was wearing did not look so great with the red piping of my lizzy . I have to say the Kelsey is a winner. It held more then I thought it could and when I got tired of doing it hand held , it looked great crossbody . This is the first time in a long time where a spur of the moment decision worked out for me.

That is wonderful dc!!!

It looks like they will fade into the patina too. Again, hugs! I feel your pain.

My bag resolution is to be mindful of spending, make sure any purchases are forever bags & not frivolous wants! Also to get new long crossbody straps made for my MJ & Prada bags for finally. Attempt to repurpose the old before buying new 😊

But my life resolutions are also on the health / wellness front. I've had a lot of random health craziness this year. Thought I was in the clear, started my Tough Mudder training & now I have shooting pains down my SI joint that feel like electric currents (GRRR & also scary....) so goal #1 is to get new TX sports med doctors & goal #2 is to wear my new Christmas Fitbit and be diligent with walking steps before ramping back to running / training

Sorry to hear about your health issues and here's to a healthier 2015 🍸🍸

I want to eat healthier again. Holidays = cookies & candies. I also need to get back into a workout regimen.

Lastly keep purging excess in our house. Too many toys and extra stuff we done need. Almost done with the kitchen, will do one spot a week until finished.

Good goals. Hope you can find a good doc there!

Love the "spot a week" idea. I'm going try and do the same and WRITE it down. For some reason, if I
don't write it down, it doesn't happen.

I'm in with health goals this 2015! Mid-2014, I only needed to lose 4 kilos but now I think I need to lose 10! It's disheartening for me bec. I wasn't able to maintain my ideal weight which I've achieved last year. So this year, I am also going to reward myself with a new bag when I've brought my weight 10 kilos down. I say I will be ruthless this time. Even if I've saved enough money to buy a bag after my ban (start of 2016) but if I did not achieve my weight goal, no bag for me. And I have you ladies to remind me, please?!?

We will try and support you.

Wow ,we have some easy resolutions and some real tough ones. LVintange-That is a tough one. JennyErin- The pressure cooker scares me too. If it was mine it would go in the donate pile.

Haha...Your pressure cooker donation comment made me laugh. I don't know why since I can't use that thing either. I have memories of a pressure cooking exploding when I was a kid and my mom was using it.

Thanks for all the compliments on my little Coach bag!

Hunter boots and Le pliage is perfection!

Cake I love the purple Hunters 💜

Today I'm a little bag bummed bc my NF leaves were scratched while traveling (one on each side). I know it's not super noticeable unless you're way up close & that vachetta leather is tough so hopefully it will blend in over time but still 💩

I tried to take a pic but the app won't upload, I'll try again later to show you guys!

So sorry that happened to your nf. 😢 hope it blends into the leather soon.

Oh gosh! So sorry to hear. I mentally freak out when I brush up against something with my bag in fear or scratches. Only you gals can know I am that OCD about my bags. If I mentioned it to anyone else they would just think I'm nuts. Hope yours blends in.

I am ocd about my bags too.

Haha totally lou, I use my crockpot all the time, love that thing!

I have been wanting to put it on the local buy and sell site, but my MIL is on that thing constantly and she gave me the pressure cooker so I can't..... sigh lol.

Love those boots cupcake!!

Thank you cupcake!

You made me crack up too. Imagine your mil trying to buy the pressure cooker from you. Lol...

I ended up trying my midnight coach Kelsey today anyway. The burgundy top I was wearing did not look so great with the red piping of my lizzy . I have to say the Kelsey is a winner. It held more then I thought it could and when I got tired of doing it hand held , it looked great crossbody .

So awesome to know your Kelsey is working for you.

It's not very noticeable. Only you will know it's there. I know that doesn't help since I am ocd about those things too, but the good news is that you know it's not a paper weight gathering dust in your closet.

Ladies, sorry been MIA. Wondering if those with StyleBook app could help me out again. I have been slowly adding to my virtual closet using the app on my phone. I just got an iPad mini for Xmas so I downloaded the app on there as well. How do I transfer my closet? Is that even possible? TIA

 

[bakeacookie]

To transfer between devices you can select the items (edit, select items) then select the upload (square with arrow). Pick share over wifi. It will then ask you to pick a device. On the accepting device, click wifi accept and they should find each other and transfer items.

Now that it's New Year's Eve where I am, I can already make my official count for December - 4 ins and 6 outs (though 3 are still with me since sales were on layaway)! I said in November that those were going to be my last purchases, but here I was in December...probably encouraged by my sales too.

I'm afraid to do an actual bag count of what remains in my collection since it will still be a big number I'm guessing, plus the new ones that came in. Will probably do the count later on.

I hope 2015 will be a more meaningful bag purchase year for me.

 

[bakeacookie]

December tally
2 SLG out
3 bags in

The goal was only 2 in. Haha. But I couldn't leave either Longchamp bag.

Also, considering my most recent purchases, I am considering returning the Ferragamo clutch once I get home. I'll have to be reunited with it to make a definitive decision. Definitely going to sell the Coach Madeline, I think the Longchamp I got can replace it.

January will be interesting. I get to spend some VAT refund at Duty Free, and I hear there's a newly opened LV in Heathrow terminal 5. XD

 

[bakeacookie]

As a reflection of 2014, I definitely need to uphold my bans next year. The quarterly no shopping, sticking to my limitations in terms of the quantity I am buying. I also want to stick to the brands I love or to items I know I'll love. I keep straying to other things and I end up not loving it after.

Hopefully this will cut back on my buying and returning, which also means a limitation on shopping at places like the rack that have a buy now think later approach.

I went shopping yesterday at Selfridges for some clothes. Can't wait to share my haul.
