I am really craving an oxblood/black cherry bag AND nude/blush.

These are not total neutrals and I still have beige on my to-buy list. But I'm so drawn to those. And forest green.

Talk to me if you have a Bordeaux, Hunter Green, or nude/blush bag and tell me how well it coordinates!
I don't have any of the three right now but I think Bordeaux or hunter would be the most versatile. They can go with year round earth tones, fall colors, black, navy, creams, whites and some jewel tones. To me nude / blush is better in the spring / summer. I'm not crazy about it with black or brown. And as dc mentioned, color transfer would be a nightmare.

I actually have a Bordeaux bag on my wish list. I think it's such a sophisticated and classy neutral.
I just had a hectic week and our corporate Christmas party ended just a few hours ago. It's not a night party but lunch.

My Saint Laurent tote already cleared customs and already at DHL delivery center. But it missed the afternoon cutoff so it will be delivered on Monday (no weekend delivery in my area). But I requested delivery Tuesday because of some schedule issue as the package needs to be signed for. Long wait, right?! Torture! [emoji6]

The Longchamp Veau Foulonne is also here in the country. But the lady who brought it for me has not scheduled a date. She just arrived here 2 days ago. Again, torture!
OMG! Isn't waiting the WORST. Hold on, you can make it. Just chat with us while you wait :hugs:
I was good and didn't buy any Mz Wallace when new sale item was added this morning. I was on half day work and met gf at town for Xmas gathering. I bought my first Balenciaga after admiring it for years. So much for starting the day well restraint from sale purchase.
Thanks msd bag [emoji175]

Yes my last [emoji389] I don't exactly know the color name. It's part time with metallic edge. Anyone is a bal expert here? can advise me?

MS P, we all have those moments we fall victim to the lure of a beautiful bag. That's why we're here in our little bagaholic support group. :lol: Just get back up, dust yourself off and recommit to your goal. :tup:

In any case, this bag is absolutely stunning!!! I have admired Bal's edge bags and really would love to have one.

Yippee, yippee, YAHOO! My LV LockMe II BB just came in! :yahoo:

I am in LOVE with this bag! The leather is amazing and I adore the chain. Swoon!:hbeat:

It will happily replace my worn out MK mini Hamiton as my small run around bag. This is my first LV bag but I don't think it will be my last. :graucho:

Thank Liz [emoji173]

Confession I'm feeling regret now. The "high" and excitement is over. I put in my usual stuff and the bag feels heavy [emoji33] I'll probably sell it locally [emoji29] I need to remember the more I buy the more headache I'll face.
 
I just investigated my Kate Spade BF purchase and it's gorgeous! :p It definitely ups the quality & style of my carefree bags. It has a large capacity w/o a huge profile or a lot of weight. The leather is nice & thick and I'm crazy about pony hair. I like that they used different materials (pebbled leather, smooth leather and pony hair) which makes it look more luxe while being cohesive. This will be very fun to carry! I wanted pony hair and animal print in my collection but those are "fun" elements I didn't want to spend much money on. This KS bag at over 50% off is the perfect solution.

And I got good news - MK is sending a new bag which will be here on Monday. And my LV will be here on Friday! I can't wait!
It's very sharp-looking, spark. I'm glad you're pleased with it. And 50% off is a real plus! :tup:

Both of these are terrific purchases, spark. I bought my first LV bag last year, after resisting LV for years (never cared for monogrammed canvas, but my first bag was a leather Capucines). This year I bought my second leather LV bag because I was so impressed by the quality of my first bag. I think LV is one of those brands that people either love or hate. I've had very positive experiences in the San Francisco LV boutique; I have a lovely SA who takes very good care of me, and steers me toward bags that she thinks will shuit me (and she is NOT AT ALL pushy, thank heavens!).
Enjoy the LockMe... it's a glorious bag.
And the earrings are very classy... good for both daytime/professional and evening looks. :smile:

I can't speak to either bordeaux or blush, but I find that I use my Mulberry Alexa in Pheasant Green (which is essentially a forest green shade) all through the fall and winter. I wear black a lot, and it goes beautifully. It also goes with blue & black jeans, and with my few navy outfits.
Here's a photo, to give you a sense of the color.

I am sorry to hear that. Are you able to return it or exchange for something you like more? We have all done this at some point so don't beat yourself up about it.
