Vink - I saw a small crossbody that I almost bought when I got the backpack. I had put it back but have since regretted it. They are sold out of it right now, but if they get it back in I will go for that and something small that I will save as a gift. The little black crossbody would work great at all my openings. Right now I use a RM sawyer three pack which I like. Though it can get annoying fast when I need to get my glasses, business cards, and show someone other paintings on my phone . I have go unzip three different pockets before I have it all. I almost ordered something else online but we shall see.
2015 resolution - shopping from my own bag and wallet collection. Any one else?

Thank you. It's grey field. It's a perfect neutral for me.
Thank you!
Thank you!
It is. I have a slight worry using it but I adore it and must get over it.
I totally see why you adore it - it's stunning! I think nubuck is heartier than suede. I used to have a nubuck bag in a grey color and found that Wilson's TLC spray worked really well to help protect it from water stains or color transfer.
Enjoy using it...she's a beauty!
This is very pretty! Love the color!
Thank you all! Now I am going to concentrate on purging.
Tuuli - great MbMJ finds!! Love that P2TM bag! Have not seen one IRL but I think the leather is wonderful! I also like MJ bags - great leathers and since I love the older models, they are relatively cheaper nowadays. I have to count how many of my 26 purchases in 2015 were by MJ!
Lou - aside from being pretty, nice to hear that this is a lightweight bag! I'm in for light weight nowadays.
Vink - have a great holiday! I'll see what I can do with my fuchsia obsession, haha. The shopping bag idea is cute. Actually, as to style, I think I like a tote. Mulberry had a nice pink shade, I think older season? If they had that Blossom tote now in that color, maybe that would have been my fuchsia bag. Or, a mini/small top handle like the Fendi Petite 2Jours or something similarly shaped (lower price range).
Btw, aside from fuchsia pink, I think I also want a nice yellow smooth leather bag. Talk about bright colors for 2016!

Beautiful bag, Lou. Santa really worked his magic. The color is such a chameleon.
Thank you!
I just felt overwhelmed with how much stuff I had given away/ sold. Clothes, handbags, shoes, all of it. Crazy.
Plenty of Herbag pics on Instagram! Lol. Went photo happy on it since I got it.
Planning more places that have patches haha. Need more!
Thank you! Hope 2016 brings more patches to add!
So happy to see you use the jacket you bought! I really am happy seeing people use the things I've sold to them/given away. [emoji4] it's being used as opposed to being sadly hidden in my closet.
Isn't stylebook fun? Love making outfits.
If you can find stock photos online it makes it a lot easier to insert pics, but it's literally just a lot of sitting down and editing them.
Very pretty!
Bake, congrats again on your herbag. It's a very pretty neutral. Will go with everything.
You have such a beautiful MAM collection! She is one of my favorites.
Totally agree!
Perfect match with your shoes. It's as if he knew that!
I am going to finish out with my Julian backpack. It has been in rotation for months now. I am just really digging the backpack style. I am lusting for the new LV Palm Springs backpack in the mini. I just don't know if I should splurge on such a trendy bag. But I really love the different ways it could be carried, especially cross body.
Here's a pic of it from louisvuittonlover. Anyone see this irl yet?
Yeah, iPad mini is pretty small. Though I am digging all backpacks. I see you returned it. If you can't use it, then best not to keep it.
Excellent choice for the snowy weather.
Another excellent choice.
Lol... I just saw a similar bear charm at Burberry and was thinking it was so cute and now I see yours. Adorable!
Congrats on your new Herschel. You cannot go wrong with any one your Gucci bags.
Loving the moon color Julian. Glad you found one that works better for you. As I mentioned, I have been all about the Julian since I got her this year. I may add another backpack style if I don't control myself.
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?!
But if I'm still gonna add, I want to subtract too!
Maybe try a fuchsia in a smaller size bag. I have a fuchsia Dior pochette that I carry with fuchsia shoes against neutral outfits. I find that bright colors works better for me than a larger size bag. Good luck in your search.
Talk about doing a hit and run here. It's beautiful and a reissue too! Congrats on your purple beauty!
Reveal. Marc Jacobs is my weakness.

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.

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.
Great haul, Tuuli35! The leathers on these bags are TDF.
Great color. Love your scarf too.
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.
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!
Have a safe trip, Vink. Happy new year!
Eehlers - oh good to know. I always thought nubuck had to be babied. Feels good to breathe out about it.
Amor - thank you and thank you! Isn't the Julian the best? That's a cool looking backpack. I haven't seen that piece before.
