The Perlina and Fossil bags are both really pretty!
I am spending the day relaxing and updating my Stylebook. I bought that app a year ago but really didn't do much with it at the time. I hope that it helps me to be more creative with my clothing. I am bad about just wearing the same stuff over and over again.
I have been off shopping now for 2 weeks and haven't been tempted to shop really at all. My ban is all clothing-related items and accessories (also makeup and bath/body stuff, but that is for another thread)
. I am sure that the ban will be more challenging once spring arrives, but for now I have no problem hibernating in the clothes that I already have.

Fimpagebag, lovely tote!
Ebby, your Sydney tote is gorgeous!
Great job on resisting sales bake! I am not sure how useful a woc would be, let us know what you decide.
I find the Stylebook app really helpful. I think once you start really using it, you will put together a lot of different outfits!
Do you have a set amount of time for your shopping ban?
Great job on resisting the Longchamp sale!

I am a long time lurker but would like to join this thread. I am notorious for buying bags, loving them for a month or so and then moving on to new purchases. I really want to save some money this year so I am going to try to go on a ban! I plan to make one more purchase because I have a store credit but other than that, I hope I can refrain!
Good luck in 2015!

Happy New Year everybody
I'm just glad that my mother's Christmas present came to me yesterday and not today or it would have been the shortest NY's resolution ever.
That's not to say I'm an ungrateful daughter, I always wanted a Gucci Flora bag and it was a lovely gift/thought.
I'll just have to make sure I double my resolve and stick to my plan this year, I already feel myself weakening for a new silk scarf

Very good idea
I have most listed on my phone, it's pretty impossible to look at that list and not realise I have nearly every style, size, material, skin and colour covered and don't need anymore

Sounds like you have a great collection.
Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all had a safe and lovely holiday last night and today.
My new year has already shaped up to be interesting. As planned, I took a walk with my son this morning, and then left to run errands by myself and only get the items on my list. (Of course, I actually forgot to write down the one item that was the inspiration for going shopping today and I HAVE to go back and get it before I go back to work on Monday. grrr). But I stuck to the list, and didn't bother to take a peek at the bags in Marshalls. Then I went home and found out that several of the MZ Wallace SLGs I've been coveting for a better part of 2014 were being sold by the same person in a different online group--and I went ahead and bought them!
It's actually an awesome discount and I'll be using at least one piece on a daily basis. And another piece is a continental wallet which was also on my list for 2015. But I am chagrined to buy on 1/1 of all days. Had the purchase occurred on 12/31, I'd have no hard feelings whatsoever. I'm counting today as one bag towards my allowed 6 maximum for 2015. Perhaps this was a good way to get any spending in January out of the way. I'm off to tweet my spreadsheets; one is a wishlist and the other tracks what I spend!

Yes, I have been unsubscribing to stores and brands that like to let me know about upcoming sales. Less junk mail piling up is always a good thing.

I'm in love with your Flora. I bought the N/S tote but it was like a sleeping bag. By that time, nordstrom sold out of the other one. I almost ordered yours but figured it just wasn't meant to be for me. I just adore the design.
So I finally finished my rehab on the Stam. If you followed in 2014, you might remember I Love the Stam design. I have a mini but always wanted the bigger hand held one. Well a poor little Stam found me and needed some TLC. It came late in the year so it counted on my 2014 tally.

And After:
Pretty proud how it turned out. She's just so soft and shiny now. My LOs actually helped clean the hardware. Teaching them young how to care for bags! Lol Those little fingers did a great job getting to the nooks and crannies.
