I will still be purchasing bags, but just not in this huge slew like I did in 2013/2014. Also, if I notice that a bag is not being used, it's gone to sell, give away or consign. I would rather lose up front then having it sit for months on end. I'm looking for the perfect SLG similar to the LV Cles, only in leather and perhaps a nice gold color. But I'm holding out for when one of the designers release it.
2015 resolution - shopping from my own bag and wallet collection. Any one else?

I would say the speedy b - I think you'll get more use out if it, especially if you're not one to change wallets. Plus it's more special since it's personalized. And if the price difference isn't that big, I would wait until you've had more time to think it over.
Looking forward to seeing your Evelyne!
Oooo can't wait to see your new BV!
I am in the minority but I would go for the mon mono Speedy B.
Maybe just enjoy your new babies for a while and think about it and make a decision once you get home, as hard as that is haha, but it will give you something to ponder on the long flight back anyways
thank you eggtartapproved! i love chanel and i initially wanted to stay away from the chanel forum but i knew that like a diet, it won't work if i practice too strictly). i visit the chanel forum to look and i enjoy just looking. i hope it stays this way.
btw, i was at my local chanel boutique to check out the sale and to wish the crew a happy new year. i am so proud of myself that i did not end up buying two boots that caught my attention. i only bought a small card holder and a bottle of perfume. i am feeling happy about myself
Good for you bag heaven!! I also find just going to look helps me quell my urge to buy.
LVk8, I think I will accept this prescription. I do have WOC fever. And I haven't even really worn my 3 new bags.
And despite the comparison between the prices here and at home, I can live with not getting it. Though it is gorgeous, I haven't fully considered if it will fill a gap in my wardrobe. I don't change wallets often, the only time I seem to have done it after getting my ZCP is for my travel wallet/agenda.
I also have to consider if I'm wanting a WOC just because it's a cheaper "flap" DBF asked if I would rather have an actual boy bag instead. In which I would have to wait ages for because yes, DBF and I are planning a wedding. It won't be for a few more years as we also wish to buy a home at the same time frame so I do have to hold my end of the deal.
So to bring a couple more souvenirs home, I may drop by Chanel for a little brooch or something but no WOC this time.
But I do appreciate all the input, which brought up lots of valid points and beautiful pictures to debate my purchase upon. I'll keep it in mind for when it is time for me to buy a WOC.
Plus we may end up in the UK again. We haven't decided where our 2015 trip will be and my family is insisting more visits. Haha.
As far as the mon mono, I will give myself a few weeks to decide if that is what I need at the moment as well.
But the Speedy B is my favourite bag, so another in mon mono would be great.
I seriously can't wait to share.
Also anyone who is considering the Burberry cross body bag I have, I highly recommend it. It's withstood my travels, rain, being shoved under a coat, and holds a bunch of necessary items with ease.

bakeacookie, I totally agree with dcooney4 view point! Stick with what you have always wanted. Woc is pretty but you will get more use w speedy b. Though I love Evelyne (my last bag purchase in 2014), I love speedy b (30) more due to its capacity. It's my best travel companion.
Good luck deciding!

All the bags pictured are lovely! I can't seem to figure out how to post pics, and my phone cam really isn't the greatest. (Not a smartphone). But I checked the tag on my Coach and it's the Madison Carlyle shoulder in black leather. And since I'm having my first granddaughter in March and her name is going to be Madison, it must have been meant to be. Now I don't feel quite so guilty. But I'm still resolved no more bags until April. Heaven help me if I see one of my HG's on Yoogi's though. As for storage, they're on the top closet shelves in my bedroom and a few in the extra br. I keep them in the dust bags, most have some of the stuffing in them, I usually take out some of it though. My bed is a platform with six storage drawers, also with bags in them. My Vera totes are folded on the closet shelf. I don't have too many wallets, the extras are in a small dresser drawer.

Good grief... page 21 on day 3!!! Guess were at the same pace as the last year's thread! 
Before I start catching up, here is what I carried yesterday. My trusty black LC for yet another rainy day! We all went to the mall to check out the sales and the kids wanted to spend some of their xmas money. Hubs was driving so I took a few quick pics in the car... my bag and it's contents.

Yay for le pliages! It's pouring here today, so I had my trusty taupe medium when I ran errands this morning.
Bake- Sounds like you are having a lot of fun. Do you find the burberry comfortable without a coat on ? Since I find myself wearing cross body bags quite a bit. I wonder if it would be worth it to buy an LV odeon pm or bloomsbury or your bag.
So far I am just thinking about it. I worry that color transfer on the odeon would drive me nuts. I love the bloomsbury but worry the strap will stay hard and hurt. Yours I do not know much about. Do you think these bags look a bit dressier then my Mz crossbody bags? I have been using my Rebecca Minkoff sawyer 3 pack for when I need to be hands free but a bit dressier for art openings and other occasions , but it is a bit small.
Nice to see so many new gals joining this year! Love reading everyone's goal for the 2015!
starbunny- Love your collection, very well edited!
clevercat- Gorgeous bal and Chanel wallet! Is the bal color papyrus? Oh, beautiful Chanel flap as well!
bibliothekarin- Great idea re: unsubscribing to store emails! I did some of that last year and it really helps keep the "oh, it's on SALE" temptation at bay!
lou- WOW, you did such a fantastic job with the stam! It looks brand new now! How awesome, esp. since it was a bag that you had wanted for a while!
re: storage- I fold my LC and my bags sit on the shelves in my closet. No dustbags... I like to see everything. I'll try and take a pic soon.
egg- The KS looks like a classy workhorse! Cute contents too!
pursecrzy and yslvchanel- Gorgeous red Chanels!!!
jenny- That's a LOT of snow! Stay warm! Great LC... love the color.
divanc- Great job sending the bag back!
bake- Of course, I'm the party pooper... step away from the WOC. Don't buy it just because it's cheaper there. I say enjoy your new H (cmon, it's H!!!!!!) and wait to get the mon mono later in the year.
Enjoy your last days in London! Can't wait to see what all you got!
amor- So sweet of you to get your DD the LC! I'm sure she loves it and will think of her wonderful mama whenever she carries it!
mimmy- As always, gorgeous pic! The leather looks yummy on your RM!
bagheaven- Gorgeous Chanels!!!
Whew... I'm tired now.
