It's Tuesday here already. I guess I should catch up. 
Thank you!!!
Bake - I'll join in Tmw... Headache hit. Boo.
I'd start my 12 days of leather goods/bag with my favorite long lost wallet. 
I'm normally very cheap toward my SLGs. This is a few of my more expensive ones. I don't remember the season and years I bought it anymore, but it's only a couple years old. You can see the transfer from some receipts and DD's craft paper I left loosely in my bag. Although I'm sad to see it's not perfectly clean anymore, it's a reminder of me at the moment. I fall in love with this color the season it came out, but don't want to get it in a bag so I opted for a wallet instead. It's one of the best decisions I've made. I like the style and organization of this wallet a lot. I changed out of it in the beginning of the year due to some wide-spread believing and encouragements of friends and I found myself missing it. I kept looking for it in my cupboards, but couldn't remember where I kept it even during the exercise. Somehow I managed to find it when I looked for something else. So, without hesitation, I simply changed back into it and I'm so happy now. It feels just right and I can't believe it's this easy. It's the wallet that changes my opinion that expensive SLG does have a point to deliver. I still have an itch to get a new wallet and this time, I want to get something from LV or simply another Chanel in this exact same style. Maybe if I find the right one.

This wallet is gorgeous and I don't blame you for wanting another just like this one.
I feel a little guilty but I want two more wallets. I want an emprinte ZCP and the pocket organizer in mon monogram. So I understand the itch. Lol.
So I was going to make the dividers using the packaging from my shopping only to find out my small agenda has rings that are very small. So it would get crowded quick and I won't be able to put paper in. 
I'll make a couple dividers for DBF and share them here. Debating if I should acquire a larger agenda for myself.

I've just been managnig to get away using my backpack lately lol. I think it's the holidays so people are more casual and my clients right now are more individual owners than corporate. I love my backpack so much!
I"m so curious about LV wallet now, but so far, browsing through their website hasn't yielded any result. I have a trip this weekend which I may get to check them out.
I just want a small/compact wallet that doesn't consume too much space in my bag and easy to get in and out without showing much about what I have in it. Am I asking too much?

I can't wait to see them.
Maybe just a slim pocket ones for yours?
The large planner is amazing (You have to see the Kikki K's video on their products), but it's kinda huge. That's why I just can't work with them coz I carry mine everywhere. I just settle with a small planner and notebook instead.
I'm happy, too, that it's not bad. I have a trip to Singapore this weekend and we plan to go to Universal Studio. I went to one in Florida years ago and just can't wait to get on the ride. It'll also be DD's first real amusement park. It's gonna spoil everything if I can't walk.
Your backpack is very cute.
I love it, too! 
Vink- I hope you feel better soon.
Egg- so glad the backpack is working out so well.
As far as wallets go I have used many different kinds though lately I have not switched at all and am still in my small tumi. It holds a ton of stuff but keeps a small foot print.

I had such a hectic Tuesday at work! 2 major meetings that took hours each, 1 major document and some other time consuming paper work. I got to peek at tpf just now!
Day 1 bag - I posted it on Sunday, my vintage Christian Dior Maris Pearl bag.
DC - that bag looks great!
Bake - I hope to have a vernis wallet someday. That's so pretty!
Vink - sorry to hear about your hiking accident. I hope your ankle gets well enough for you to freely roam around Universal Studios. I went there 3 or 4 years ago, but I ended up watching over the stuff of my nieces and nephew while they went on the more exciting rides. I had vertigo attacks a year or so earlier, I just couldn't risk it. Btw, that Prada bag is so cute!! I saw the satchel version of that online, very cute...but so very not me, so I'll just enjoy it through you. I'm also glad you're slowly overcoming your 'fear' of teeny tiny bags.
Lou - love seeing this beautiful Bal!
Egg - good to hear backpack is working so well for you.

Your backpack is very cute.
I recommend the Zippy Compact or Zippy Coin purse. If zippered wallets aren't your thing, the Sarah wallet is also nice.
The options I have right now are make only a couple special inserts for my current small/PM agenda, or buy just a little book version for the leather covers I can use, which means no dividers/special inserts.
The second option is buy a bigger planner, which I'm hesitant to. I'll try working with my small one first then if I find a bigger one is better for my use, I can get one during my trip.

Those meetings sound dreadful!
Here's day 11 (I'm going backwards aren't I? It's a countdown to Christmas now ) lol.
The agenda in question is day 11.
I am going to use this before I tempt myself with a new one.
It's LV vernis in Pomme D'amour. gorgeous red inside, with the sparkly vernis outside.

My other favorite vernis. Amaranth and pomme are the best!
They are the best! They have that hint of sparkle that some colors don't get!
Though I think I can only do vernis on SLGs. I actually carry the planner it it's dust bag because I'm afraid of it getting dirty.
I am a bit too late but these would be bags for my first two days:
The one on the left is Gigi New York Elle cross body. It is great cross body, I have the same bag also in blue and love both of them.
The red one is Coach tote, it might be called taxi tote but I am not 100% sure. I was admiring this bag pretty much every time I passed the Coach store in the mall and finally decided to buy when it was on sale this summer. Love the colors and shape of it. Actually should change into it, it's pretty Christmas red.
Thank you all who shared my frustration regarding the Dooney bag. I have applied many layers of various leather products on the area but the spot is visible again as soon as they dry off. I will take it as lesson learned and will use it anyway. It is great bag otherwise.
