That's awesome MSD!

And I got $160 for my old bags and unused trousers! So happy. There's still some I have to take to the consignment store, but I'm totally happy! All of that is towards the London fund.

I also rekindled my Longchamp Love and will keep my LEs. [emoji4]

So I desperately want the Longchamp Eiffel Tower tote that is, of course, only sold in France.
Should I just buy it on the Bay? There's no chance for me to go to Paris any time soon, as I won't have a companion, and my travel buddies cannot go because of work.

I also desperately want the Japan Mt Fuji tote but my friend couldn't find it during her travels. :sad:
Debating on searching the Bay for that too.

I find they are beautiful, affordable, collectable bags, and I am willing to pay slightly over retail for an authentic one, but I'm wondering if I should just wait for the day I'll eventually go. Don't know when that would be though.

I wish Longchamp made a London one. You know I'd buy every color in a heartbeat without checking price.

ETA: Did a bit of searching on the LC subforum. I now want the Eiffel Tower (France), Miyajima or Mt Fuji (Japan), and Great Wall of China (China).

Just got a nibble on the bag I posted on our local yard sale site. I wish I had put it up sooner to have gotten it on my out list this month. Fingers crossed she shows up and buys it tomorrow.

Hooray!! Fingers crossed! What a great way to start the new month!

Wow, these are amazing pieces!!! Congrats!



Oooh Laker game! Enjoy it. I hear tickets sales have gone through the roof since Kobe announced his retirement. I can't believe he is retiring, and I can't believe he's been playing for so long already. I remember watching him when he just first started - feels like yesterday.



I'm one backpack in and 0 out. Next year's resolution is to focus on the outs =) I'm looking forward to it actually.

It was an amazing game. We went thinking they would get blown away and it would be a boring one but the moment we got there we were handed the letter and it was nuts. I remember him getting drafted and playing the first season.

If I were you, I'd wait for the time when I get to go there. :) I feel like it's more meaningful that way. ;)

I have 0 out and 0 in. I still can't figure out how to do with 3 of my cast off. But a friend told me yesterday about the community fair and some of the ladies plan to set a booth for secondhand stuff. Maybe it's a good idea for me to join? I'm not in a hurry to get rid of them. I just feel weird having them sit on shelve for too long and I know I'll not use them anymore.

I almost had 1 in last night. I dropped by a duty free mall again coz I'll have a trip mid-month and want to buy myself a lip gloss and some facial cream. I found a cute mini Coach crossbody bag that is a good size for a mini bag. I called 2 friends asking if I should buy it. It has a great discount, too. Like new year sale plus special event sale and I can even use my membership card on top of that. That's like a total of 60% off or something. Both friends said it's a great deal and that I should get it. Unfortunately, I forgot my card so I leaved and when I went back, I was still debating whether or not I should get it so, I tried it on for the last time before deciding and I just put it back. I know I'm stressed and tired. And I feel like I just need to buy something. I didn't do it last night and I'm so proud.

I have workshop today so I'm with my Regalo. I'm thinking about going back to Miss Dior or just take out my other bag. :)

I think I'm going crazy or something. I stay up late tonight browsing a wallet! I know I'm not the type to choose wallet online and the info of wallet is so little to be found. Still, I'm planing my purchase, which I don't know if I want to just because I'm dying to shop or coz I want one coz the one I'm using is kind of old. The fact that I just saw one wallet in the combo that I love doesn't help much either. Maybe if I'll have enough time soon, I'll have to check those boutiques out.

I know it would be more meaningful, but I really wont' be able to go to these countries anytime soon. :( There's a lot of reasons why I can't go.

Great job resisting!

How are you with your mini bag, the one you were trying out?

The bag sold. It was my navy longchamp. The corners were starting to show wear. I gave it away for 35 with no fees. She was delighted and so was I.

Awesome! I sold off a green longchamp to DBF's family for the same price!

Definitely check in store. Wallets always seem so different between online and in store.

Tempted by the petal pink small bayswater satchel. This is a size that works for me...but I should be good. Plus it's coming out in a bright electric cobalt like blue...which is even more gorgeous than the pink...

I love the small bayswater satchel. I keep looking at it too. But you are trying to save money so I will say step away from the bag.

I am so excited I have had a fabric craft bag on the yard sale site for a month and today a friend saw it and is going to stop by to pick it up. Another week and I would have donated it. Now the sport bag can go where that one was and get away from my real bags . Woo hoo !
