Thanks DC!





I also love this baroque hardware! Thanks. Come to think of it, there are so many older MJ bags I like.

Thank you!



So pretty!

Lol it is a little hard because of the different time zones, but it's day 5 for us in the US. :)




It certainly sparked people's interest in pageantry again.

Here's my Day 5 of 12 days of leather goods:

LV key pouch/ cles. :)

Tbh, I've not used the totem one. But I do like looking at it lol, so it's not a complete waste.

These are pretty!


I love MJ and own many of his bags but also prefer older designs. Quilted line was my favorite. So sad that it discontinued.

Ugh. it's almost been a month since my last online course, and I still haven't received my final grades. I need to expense this class out, request my official certificate, and just be done with this. But it's almost been a month!! Where are my grades?!

To not be so irritated at the lack of completion for this class, I've attached my Mr Trench Burberry bear on my herbag. Lol. lots of stuff going on it, but I don't care, I like it.

Sorry about the lack of grades. That bear is adorable, though!

So cute Bake!! Is the totem the monogram one? I don't really know LV SLGs, sorry.


Confession time! I probably had too much time on my hand (well, actually I have tons to do, but a lot of people at work are already on vacation leave for the holidays, so the atmosphere is no longer conducive for work. :graucho:) After regularly searching "Marc Jacobs Antonia" (plus some other styles) on ebay, I did a general search todayfor MJ bags where I did not name the style but just specified NWT. Lo and behold, I saw a small one, the one that seems to be elusive, with a best offer option. It was not appearing before because the model name was not specified in the listing. I made an offer. To my surprise (considering the time there) the seller immediately responded. I then made a counteroffer and she accepted. I paid and she already prepared the shipping label, It all happened so fast!!

Yes, the monogram one is the totem one. Still don't know what my totem is on the zipper pull, but it's just so cute.

Can't wait to see your new bag!

The quilted line by MJ was very cute.

Thanks! We both went through the first rain of winter together lol. It was too late for me to change bags when I stepped out of the house.

I just want to expense the class out before I forget. It's literally a new wallet for me, and I just hope I can get my expense report done for this class before London. But my other professor who had a lot of personal things to deal with, told us what was up, and still got us grades a week after the class ended. This guy has no excuse tbh. :rant: :pout:

It should be safe for me to post my December count. Lol. I have a small wishlist for 2016, but I'm waiting till 2016 (and the class reimbursement) before purchasing a new wallet.

December count:
Handbags: 1 in (herbag), 0 out.
SLGs, 0 in, 0 out.

So I've had 3 months where no bags and slgs came in. I did bring in more than I expected, so here's my 2015 total!

2015 count:
Handbags: 8 in, 7 out.
SLGs: 8 in, 6 out.

I have my 2016 planned out, handbag wise, to lower the cpw on what I have. Still not sure if I'll hunt down a grey or green bag in London, though I might just because of the price difference between the US and UK, but nothing too crazy.

hes' a cutie! I hope u get your marks soon, that's definitely frustrating, especially when the holiday season is around the corner. You don't want to be thinking about the marks, you want to be celebrating them!

I'm getting confused on our countdown because I'm following your day there instead of my time zone. I think it's Day 5? Here's my cherry blossom pink MJ Single Baroque. Chose it for today to liven up a dark outfit which generally doesn't match the holiday mood here.

Yes, I am quoting myself as I had a self realization. The bag was not an Antonia after all!! I think it is called Box?? It looks like an Antonia but even smaller than the small Antonia. Sometime ago I was asking Lou about Antonia sizes. That is why I was confused, it is not really Antonia, lol!

Borrowed a photo from the listing. Not sure if it's the seller's or this is also lifted:

Days 4 and 3. Photos from my phone. 2 MJ bags that I dearly love. 54 and 1984.

I think I'm content with my MJ collection, with the recent purchase of Box...unless a mini 54 in the right color pops up. [emoji6]

You have a good net count! Congrats! I can't safely say that my stats are final as there are still nice sales. [emoji16] I'm not sure I have a tally of total in and out for the year. Will keep track though for 2016.

Bake and msd - Loving all your goodies.
Egg- Congrats on a fantastic job this year. You should really be proud of yourself. It can't have been easy with all the ones , myself included who did not stop shopping. You deserve areal pat on the back .
I won't do my final count till the absolute last minute. I still have 4 bags I am trying to sell and we have not exchanged gifts yet. I did have one month where I did not buy a bag. Since this year I did not buy such expensive bags ,I actually saved some money too. The funny thing is I am enjoying the less expensive bags just as much as the LV 's I have. I tend to stress less and enjoy more, but I also made sure they were good quality despite the lower price. I also rediscovered some of my older bags and am enjoying them too.
