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.

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....

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. :smile1:

6 out is still awesome msd and you added less in which is good too! Refining a collection doesn't happen over night, it is a long process which can take years, if it ever does happen. I think with tastes constantly changing and sometimes lifestyles changing etc. my collection will always be a work in progress, but as long as what I own and carry makes me happy that is all the matters. Apparently I am feeling philosophical this New Years Eve lol.

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

Ooooo LV in the airport!!! I wouldn't have been able to leave any Longchamps either.

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.

As for me I am 1 bag in and 0 out. Which is fine with me.


I can't remember if I mentioned this before but I am counting my new borough to my allowed in tally for 2015. So I am now only allowed up to 2 bags next year. I can do this!! haha. I am actually trying to talk myself into saving up for a big purchase this year. I try to do this every year but the contemporary bags or a great sale always get me in the end so I will see how it goes..... I am horrible at saving. I guess maybe that should be my other resolution this year. Learn to save for something you really want. This is going to be tough......


Hope you all have a very Happy New Year!!!! Bring on 2015!!!

You can do it! :D saving for my HG bags totally had me ignoring the contemporary brand sales. It was hard to ignore a really really good sale but seeing my orange box made it worth it.

What's everyone doing for NYE?

Currently I am sitting at the Royal Airforce museum bc DBF loves planes. I anticipated I would be here but not for 5 hours. Luckily he left me his phone so I have internet (ran out on my phone, trying to avoid anymore overage fees). But I guess it's fair considering how many times I've gone shopping.... Within the 4 hours of landing, Boxing Day, every evening...

Then we'll go to Harrod's food hall and stay warm at the hotel. I wanted to go to the Embankment to watch the fireworks but as I was about to get tickets, I realized it'll be super cold. Plus everyone (like all the SAs I've encountered) assured me that what's on TV will be good too.

The upside is warmth and food. The downside is I'm not right there at London Eye to watch it all. Oh well

Happy New Year's Eve!!! Cannot believe that 2014 is coming to an end... the year flew by! I want to say that I have really enjoyed being part of this thread and look forward to the next one. You ladies are all wonderful!!! Mwah! :kiss:


Here's my Dec. tally:
in- 0
out- 0


And here's my final 2014 tally:
bags in- 5 (4 were keepers)
bags out- 6

slg's in- 3
slg's out- 7

Not bad, but I didn't do as well as I had hoped with my bags. I do have a few more bags that need to be purged. I feel like the bags that I added this year were well thought out choices that got used regularly. And that is really my ultimate goal- to have a manageable number of bags that I love and get used on a regular basis. :D


Here's to a happy and healthy new year!!! :drinkup:

2014 was an interesting year for me in terms of revamping my closet. I became a mommy and took a break from all spending including no handbag (except for a MbMJ diaper bag) for 9 months. Probably the longest I've gone without buying a new bag in many years! However, once I returned to work and settled into my new role, my bag buying impulse came back in full force. I think I was making up for lost time. So my final count for 2014 is 16. Yikes! This year I also reevaluated my current collection and gave away or sold 11 bags. Even though my goal initially was to pare down the amount of stuff I had, I guess coming up +5 is not so bad?? At least, that's what I tell myself! My goal for 2015 is to finish putting my closet into the StyleBook app and reevaluate everything (not just handbags). The good thing about the app is that it allows me to see all the duplicates I have so I can get rid of the ones I don't really love. But it also allows me to see the holes in my wardrobe which leads to more buying! Anyway, I hope to be better overall next year. HAPPY NEW YEAR, ladies!

Here are the two new slgs. One is a lodis wallet from my brother and the other is sort of gift from dh. It was a gift we bought for someone else but that didn't work out, so rather then giving it to someone else dh said to keep it because he knew I liked it.

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.

Thanks, Bake! Will try tonight. Yeah, I'll be at home in NYE working on my StyleBook. LOL!

I will give a final Dec. count in the evening. I could not figure out exactly how many bags have gone out for the year. I wish I had written it down some where yet.

I wrote my monthly tallies in a little notebook... that's the only reason I knew my totals for the year.

I'm sure your "out" number is substantial... you did a great job purging though the year! :D And love your new slg's!!!
