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. :)

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:

Since I know there are some Julian lovers in this thread, I'm sharing another shameless picture...loving this color. I'm a sucker for dark blue.

My DH also told me yesterday that he ordered me a custom Rebecca Minkoff made in NY pouch. But...it's MIA. He's been trying to get in touch with customer service to find out what happened to it. I hope it's found! He had it monogrammed and everything. I may try posting in the RM customer care thread here on tpf if he doesn't get in touch with them soon.

Really such a lovely blue! I hope RM finds your oder. Made in NY RMs are really good quality!

I did just want to post a quick photo of 'the' 2015 bag [emoji3] Purple + Chanel = Bliss

It's a bag that makes me smile (shallow, I know) just to know it's mine.

It really is pretty. I hope they find your pouch. I love my Julian too. This soft tiny pebbled leather is just wonderful.

Reveal. Marc Jacobs is my weakness. :)

MBMJ Flash Kelsey
I bought it pre owned and it is another project bag. Inside was dirty and outside needed cleaning and conditioning. I washed the lining and cleaned/conditioned the leather and it looks very good, lamb leather is buttery soft and I have great black cross body.

MBMJ P2M Voyage satchel
This was unplanned purchase. I love MBMJ petal to metal handbags but they are not so easy to find any more. So, when I spotted this one in outlet then just had to buy it. Leather is amazingly soft.

MBMJ Classic Q Fran
This bag has been on my wish list for a long time and I always wanted the older version as I like it more. First I intended to buy Francesca which is larger version but then realized that smaller one makes more sense for me. So, I ordered the black one and shortly after the bag arrived, found the other one in my local consignment store. Blue bag was in excellent used condition and it is probably crazy but I will keep both.

My collection was lacking casual black bags, that's problem is solved now.

Thank you for letting me share. :)

They are all great finds but that petal to the metal is calling my name. So pretty! Congrats!

Sorry for being MIA. There're just so much during the last week.

Wow! I love every bags of you girls!

Eehler - The color of the Julian is amazing! I hope you get your package at the end. I'm hunting for one of mine, too. :( Arg! Post office at the end of the year. :(

Tuuli - I also love that blue Fran. No wonder why you want to keep both. ;)

CleverCat - And that purple reissue! Ah... Such a beauty. I used to contemplate getting this exact bag, but just couldn't decide. It's such an amazing color. :)

Bake - maybe you can pick out CDC or some click clack at H during your London trip? I think jewelry is nice.

MSD - I'm always into color bags since I dress very simple and pretty much black pants with white tops so colorful bags spice up my outfit. Since the project, I appreciate black bag more. :) If you're not so sure about the color, why not try it with reusable shopping bag first? The kind that can be folded to make it small for carrying in a bag? It's big like a bag and usually they make them in such bright color. If you find yourself like to carry them during your grocery or shopping trip, you may like it as a real bag after. If not, it's just a reusable bag. It's cheap and no one will judge. ;) You can use it to haul stuff. ;)

DC - so, have you reach your conclusion on the backpack yet?

I'm leaving for hubby's hometown tomorrow. Don't know about the Internet connection and the chance to go online so... Happy new year in advance! :)

I'm having a hard time deciding on which bag to take this time. I know i shouldn't take my flashier bags. But I want to carry some of my nicer bags. It's late now and I'm trying to finish packing. I think I'm thinking too much.

DC - good to hear you get the credit back. Any plan for next year? ;)

@vink, I'd get a bracelet, but I have quite a few right now, so unless I fall for one while at H, I'm not aiming to get one specifically. Not like the watch.

I am contemplating on Constance or Kelly wallet, and possibly the Mulberry small bayswater satchel in duty free. Not sure yet. Right now, I'm waiting for what the new colors will be for things at LV.
