Okay, I've decided on my Gucci Sukey as my end of the year bag, because it goes well with a neutral colored dress I want to use.

For the first work day of 2016, I plan to use my Flame Red MJ 54. Really start it bright. What about you, what will you start the next year with?
 
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.

Amor I was eyeing this back pack as well. Though I think the Juilan is prettier. I have been using backpacks a lot lately as well. Mostly my libaire backpack and my julian. I really did like the MK but it was bought so my mini would have a safe place to be stored when traveling with it. When that did not really work great it did not make sense to have two grey back packs. The Julian has that great pocket against your back that I put my wallet in . Even if I am in a crowd I feel my id is safe with it back there. Enjoy the back pack you have and step away from the LV. It is very hard for me to say that but I believe that is what you requested.
 
Beautiful bag, Lou. Santa really worked his magic. The color is such a chameleon.



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!

Thank you! I love this bag, not sure what took me so long to get it, but I'm happy I have it.

I've seen it and it's adorable. though, you have a backpack, don't you? So it's a little redundant to have two, plus this one is pretty small and not as spacious as the Julian.

It's a trendy item too, IMO.

I want more Burberry Bears. I might splurge and get some more.

I am finishing off 2015 and starting 2016 with the same Longchamp Rive Droite tote. I need to lower cpw on it, so what better way to do so?
 
Herbag review on my stylebook thread!

Ladies, if I had to have a duplicate in a different color, which would you choose?

Evelyne or Herbag?

I would love to have another color in either bag, so I'm considering hunting one down in London.

And two more months!!!

Personally I like the Evelyn in a darker color so you would not have to worry about dye transfer. I love your her bag but the canvas terrifies me. Could you just hunt without actually buying? That is a nice chunk of change that could go towards your house. If this is a last hurrah then I say Evelyn.

I'd second this. :)
 
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.


Don't get the RM. Sound like you don't really love it. I'm sure the better one will come along. ;)


Tuuli - love Love the bags! I got a Fran this summer and it is one of my favorite casual bags.

Clever - stunning!

Here's my end of the year bag!

Gucci soho hobo. Light as a feather too!

Ooh.... What a beauty! I love this! The leather look so great!
 
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! :graucho:


I actually love Fendi 2 Jours. I used to contemplate getting one when it first came out. I decided to skip though coz I'm not good with a bag with that kind of opening. :( (I've been trying to find one that will struck the chord with me; GST, PST, Dior Soft, 2Jours. So far, no luck. I guess I love the style and the idea, but just couldn't make up my mind IRL.)

I can't wait to see your colorful bags next year. :)

Have a safe trip, Vink. Happy new year!


Thank you! ;)
I haven't seen that LV backpack IRL, but I'm not so sure I'd like how it look worn crossbody. The size is too small for the type of bag for me. :(
 
I decide to finish of the year with this bag; Bal Twiggy in 09 Ciel.

Bal's blue is notorious for turning yellow and this one is no exception. I carried her once or twice, I think, then I keep her in her dust bag. Let's say a handful of time, still, she turn yellow a bit anyway. (Not to mention the glue they use on her tassels just sucks they split by itself.) I just love her color too much to get mad. And since her type of shade is one of the Color of the Year for next year, I think I'll take her out. I find her color comforting and her leather soft. :)

I don't know what bag I'll change into when I'm back, but one of my resolution is that I want to not let my bags intimidate me, so I guess it'll be one of the Chanel or Dior since they are the most intimidating bags in my closet. I may get back to Miss Dior or some seasonal Chanel piece. (The classic and reissue can be too flashy for my work.) I have a huge urge to change wallet so I may take one of the WOC with me. I find myself loving the new downsizing life. :) My shoulders just hurt less. :)

London is my last hurrah. Lol. So I am itching to get something besides my watch.

I know it's a chunk towards my home, but I know if I refrain from buying, I'll go nutters. DBF is buying his Saville Row suits, I'd be aching to go shopping myself. So rather than torture myself, I've been working and saving. :) I'll at least look, but I won't buy unless the item is right. Whatever it may be.

Then I promise to be good after London. :D

In that case I can't wait to see what you come home with.😉
