I would not be getting rid of my Mac . It is old but I still use it for other things. I still like my phone because it is small but I like the iPad mini for taking and storing lots of photos of paintings and reference shots and just regular photos of my kids. I had to take the photos off my phone so it will run faster. I will think about it a bit more. My son suggested a surface but I would have to learn how to work it.


If you just want a device to store your photo, I saw Sony has one a couple years ago. A guy from the same trip keep carrying this device. It has a screen and you can transfer photo into it via wifi or just simply plug in memory card from the camera. You can view photo in it the same way you did with the photo album. I think it's a great device. I just don't know its name. I only know it's from Sony. And it's not big. About the size of a pocket book and quite slim, too.
 
I think I will be keeping them. I keep trying them on and they're comfy. And not as obvious as the Ferragamos.



Oh you have a Mac! Yeah, definitely keep that, and if your phone is fine, then an ipad mini with plenty of storage would be useful for showing your paintings and looking at pictures.

I find the Surface not as intuitive as the Mac interface. TBH, if you're used to how your iphone and Mac are, it's just easier to stick to apple. Plus there's a few deals out there for ipad minis. And all the accessories and apps are made for ipad.

I am biased, I have and ipod, iphone, ipad, and a MPB. it's just easier.

Thanks for all you help . He got me the mini 4 with 128 gb for Christmas. We got a hundred dollars off . He was so happy not to be buying me a bag.
 
DC - I think the mini is not redundant if you have a specific purpose for it. And I prefer my laptop when I need to type longer texts/docs, prepare some powerpoint materials, etc., so I think you may still need your Mac for other needs.

Bake - I like your Burberry pair of flats, hope you'll keep it (and you'll wear it). :smile1:

Egg - I don't count my Longchamp Le Pliages. You may not count that pretty backpack too! :smile1: And what a super good deal!

That's cute!!

Haha, however you count it is what matters, egg! Can't wait to see reveal pics of this!

I love it!! I was looking at this same one, as well as the leather version in the moss green color. Love MbMJ. Congrats on such a great deal!!

I think it is adorable!

Such a cute bag and a great deal! I love it! (Both the bag and the deal. ;) )

tnx ladies! I'm wearing it today and i love it! accompanied by coworker during lunch for some shopping and it was so easy to maneuver among the crowd without a bag. I do look like I'm going to school paired with my uggs lol, but I think the bag will be fun for travel and weekends, and casual fridays.
 
I did good! I returned the shoes and only got a much needed work out top and shirts for my brother! I couldn't get PAs on some things I bought but that's okay. I got the PAs I needed on some gifts, and got nothing unnecessary!

Very proud of me right now.
 
Bake - sorry they didn't the PAs. That's unnerving that some places do and some don't. I didn't have any issues today.

Egg - I love it! I love plaid (inner grudge rocker here).

I'm soo very banned. Like beyond. I didn't have room and now have less room. In the last 10 days, I aquired 5 bags. Latest as the Burberry little crush. Small little crossbody for casual outings. It will go under the tree from my girls! Lol I found hiding in the clearance section at the Rack and got it for 150 (after PA, retail 850). I almost asked for it last year. I'll take photos of everything tonight. I scored big time this morning on clothing. I'm seriously set. Total ban for me now! Only allowance will be for Undies I still need to get.

A little bummed, but I was already happy at the initial price. So you win some you lose some. Didn't want to argue as Lakewood is a rack I frequent a lot. Lol.

Can't wait to see your 5 bags!!! [emoji7]

Way to go!


Thanks! And I was good at target and only got what I needed! [emoji33]

You're getting a great non-bag gift for Christmas!!

Awesome!!

ETA: Decided to be good and return the shoes. I am keeping the watch though lol.
Wow! I'm not sure I would have been able to do that.

5 bags in 10 days is great!! :D:graucho: Would love to see this Burberry little crossbody.


As for myself, I thought I was gonna make it this November without a bag purchase. I really tried very hard, with all the Black Friday sales I had access to. I put a bag in the cart, changed the color option, realized what I had done, removed the item and exited the site. :graucho: I thought that was it. Several hours later, there was an email I got from another site for a discount. I don't know why this time I did not resist. I got the Madison crossbody in pine from Gigi New York! Not really a very great discount, but something that made me finally make a go for it. I've been lusting for it for a while. I really thought I was gonna be good!

It is s nice little bag though. Do you have a lot that will go with that shade of green? I like colored bags but I always have problems styling them. I am getting better at it though.
 
Lou- looking forward to see all your new goodies. That was a great deal.

For those of you who hit the sales what were your best deals? My dd found a $200. dress that was marked down to $46.00 after her discount , I added my door coupon of another $20. and she paid $26. total. We had so much fun.

I gave the color some thought actually. But I have lots of white and black tops and some casual dresses with some green print, so I think I won't have any problem. I actually envy ladies who pull off matching one bright color with another bright color (say purple with green). I cannot bring myself to pair them sometimes.

What a great deal you and dd got!! I didn't buy but just want to share that a bag I'm interested in was at 50% discount at reebonz (I think the store/site is Singapore based). Then there was a promo code for bf for 15%. Customs duties and taxes here reach about 30%. So overall it was still attractive. But I couldn't pull the trigger. Why? Because knowing I could get it for 50% didn't make the higher price (albeit a great one!) acceptable, at least for now. I have a niece who is based in Singapore. I could have asked her to get it for me so I won't have to pay the customs charge except that she is here in the country now waiting to give birth. Didn't want to bother her. So maybe it really was not meant to be. :smile1:
 
Would this situation bother you? -- On Friday, the secretary at the office offered to get my bag from the other office (remember that I mentioned before that I hold 2 positions now). I was at the 3rd floor and the bag was at the 2nd floor. I had been going up and down a lot that day so when the secretary was asking me for some contribution for something, I expressed that the bag (where my wallet was) was downstairs and I was already tired to get it. So she volunteered. I heard her voice when she came back. I waited a few seconds and wondered why she had not shown up at my cubicle. So I took a peek outside. The girls were checking my bag out! An older co-worker, a casual friend, was even modeling my bag! It was my latest black Massaccesi bag btw.

In our local culture, respect for privacy is not as big as in the Western culture. I was half okay with what they did and half irked as well. Okay in the sense that they were admiring my bag. But irked that they did not even ask me if I'm good with it.
