Aw.. You both are so lovely. Your story really makes me smile. I love this kind of friendship.
You just don't take, but also give back. Great friendship bracelet you've got here.

I think he was surprised, but he knows the work I've done on my finances the last several years, so his attitude was mostly "You're an adult, you have a job, you know what you can afford, so you should have the things you want." There's a reason I love him as much as I do!Of course, it doesn't hurt that he has his own spendy habits!
Well, I have one guy friend that sometimes I'm comfortable telling him the price if he ask. He rarely ask though, but that's because we go shopping together.
And he never judge. Lucky that he's not married yet. I guess if your friend handle it in the humorous way, it should go well. I hope he won't give his wife the hard/uncomfortable time. If you're ready to give that bag to her, I'm sure doing so will definitely make her day.

Since all my friends know of my crazy obsession, I tell them the price. Lol. Those who have judged me before, I'm no longer close to them. Life is too short for pettiness. Everyone spends their money their own way.
And the friends I have kept because they are simply excited because I'm excited are slowly loving handbags too.
Your story just reminded me of how far I've come to not just be judged by what I'm wearing.
Coworker's a different story, but they can look up the price themselves (and they do lol).
Great job improving your finances!
Halloween is approaching and DD has a costume she wants in her head so we put it together tonight. It's not a hard one. I just make some adjustments on her clothes and add some accessories.
The flu or whatever must not want me to take anymore time off coz today, I just miraculously better. I guess it knows I'm free tomorrow.
Today I had a workshop so I just packed everything in my Borboleta Lyla tote.
You can say I stuff it to the brim. There's nothing glamorous about this tote, but it's comfortable enough for a day that I have to roll around in the studio.
I finally got my Kikki K compendium! It's beautiful!!!
It's more baby blue than this, which is my favorite color, and I should wait for the sun light to take a photo, but I just love it too much right now. It's a bit too big for my usual, but I will try to work it out. I'm a little bit sad that the lining looks like a flimsy fabric though. I wish the cotton is a little thicker. But overall it's a nice one. If only it's a little bit smaller then it'll be perfect. I'm waiting for my schedule book to arrive this weekend then I'll see how they fit together. It's so funny that after all these years, I still get excited over a new schedule book every year.

I don't know what I'll be for Halloween this year. I usually dress up in something simple, last year I was an explorer in all khaki with the pith hat. Year before that I was sushi. lol.
I think it's too long and floral. Lol. I might modify my tulle skirt and be a tooth fairy.
What are everyone's goals for November? My only goal is to not fill up the four bag slots I opened up. I will allow myself one if I really love it. Today I sprayed some limon perfume in the stinky bag. I hope it helps. I did spray fabreeze in it but it did not work not a whole bottle though.
I'll see if I have time. I've been swamped at work, I haven't even been able to go to the gym.
My goal was to not buy anything in November, but I just got $100 at Bloomingdales. haha. I gotta see what I can get at LV.

One thing I also tried is to carry parfume samples is the bag, you know the paper ones which are between magazines. It doesn't take the smell away but masks it.
