2015 resolution - shopping from my own bag and wallet collection. Any one else?

I'm planning to get the Hermes watch.



I really want a green bag too, but it seems that green was a previous season color (spring 2015? something like that) so it most likely won't be available for spring 2016.



So other than the watch, and other small things I most likely will find, there isn't a major search going on.


A friend of mine recently bought the Hermes iWatch. Had no clue they even made one.

They released it in September I think?
For the price of the Hermes Apple watch, I'd rather have a traditional watch.

I might search for a Kelly or Constance wallet in London. If all else fails, Mulberry has made a bright blue Small Bayswater Satchel I won't mind picking up in Duty Free. :D

But I like reserving LV/Hermes purchases for London due to the price difference. Oh well.
 
I have a confession to make. Last few days before new year and new ban means what- bag shopping. I bought 4 bags during last week: 2 pre owned and 2 new ones. All by MBMJ, Classic Fran in black and blue (pre owned), Flash Kelsey (pre owned) and as a last one I found Petal 2 Metal Voyage satchel in outlet which I just could not leave there.
I am so done. :)

Wow! What a haul. Please reveal. Would love to see.
 
Hi all...popping in one last time for 2015. I know I've been hit or miss about posting as life kind of got in the way a lot, but I always appreciate how you guys always made me feel welcome. [emoji173]️

I have one last reveal for the year. Some of you may remember my RM fringe Julian backpack. I loved the style, but the fringe never fully felt like 'me'. So I gifted it to my niece and today I used a gift card from my DH to pick this up...a new Julian in Moon with silver hardware. I love it!

I don't remember what my resolution for '15 was, but I doubt I kept it. Lol. Next year I'm focusing on selling/gifting/donating bags. I've identified the core 20 bags that I want to keep and love. The others will find new homes in 2016.

Here's Julian in Moon:

Understable as these are all nice leathers!! And you are not alone. :graucho: My 24 bag in for 2015 as of November moved up to 26 as of today - 1 MJ (Box) I recently posted about and a Linea Pelle on sale that I just couldn't resist. It is the same bag as the black I recently got, but in Sand and at a much better bargain.

I remember you being not so sure about the fringe one, glad to know that you found one that is more you! Congrats! Moon is a lovely color from other pics I've seen too.
 
Are there any you want that are similar to the ones you have? Perhaps, later in the year, when you want to buy a new bag, try re-homing another one or rekindle your love for something you currently have.
I slept thinking about your comment on similar bags. Since we finished with our style and color exercises, I've done some culling of my collection. I have 6 currently listed in our local ebay and plan to list 1-3 more. Assuming they get sold, I think only the RM MAMs will be exactly the same style in different colors, and the Linea Pelle Eden bags of which I'll have 2 when the other color arrives. I think the styles of my bags are fairly varied, so style wise I think I'm good to go.

What I've realized is now that I've learned to use bags colored other than blacks and reds, I don't need as much bags in these colors. I think I have (everyday bags) 6 blacks and 4 reds. Truth be told, I think I can let go of 2 blacks, but I don't think I have a market for resale. For the reds, maybe one, but I recently got a Massaccesi long strap for it and that was not cheap. So maybe not yet. And again, the question on resell-ability.

For 2016, I will continue my search for the fuchsia bag for me. I have wanted one since my birthday in June this 2015, but then I got the MJ Single cherry blossom pink one because of the great bargain on it. If only Massaccesi still has that fuchsia pink nappa leather now that was available then, my quest for fuchsia pink would be over. I see other ones like the Fendi By the Way, but I'm not sure I'd go for that price range for something that I might not have the guts to wear a lot (is fuchsia pink still age appropriate for me?! :graucho:) By the way, yesterday I was modeling in front of the mirror a fuchsia pink small shopping bag. I know I looked funny, but just wanted to find out if I could carry that color a lot. :p

But if I'm still gonna add, I want to subtract too!

What a beauty! Just love the Julian!
 
Msd- I have trouble using very bright bags too. I am sure you can pull it off. Just plan outfits you would wear in advance of getting it . That way when you do get one you will really wear it.
I have many white/cream blouses, so I can go neutral on clothes and then accessorize with a bright bag. Funny, I sent a photo of a vernis LV in what I think is fuchsia pink, or maybe electric pink, to my niece. She said that even she wouldn't wear it, she is only in her mid 20s, lol!

Next year I would like to have another month with no bag coming in.
This is definitely part of my resolution! I don't think I had 0 bag month in this year.
