I'll go with 15. :smile: I have a wedding to attend and a trip in the second week of the month. I need 2 bags already. I know I can wear 1 bag for the rest of the month with no problem, but I'd like to have some space and that'll make 4 bags. :smile: And since it's a challenge, I figure I'll just do 15. :smile: It's a challenge after all and it's something I've never done before.

Can I count it if I wear it for a couple hours in the evening, like going to the event? Or I supposed to wear it full day? I need to plan. :smile:
I am going to count it even if it is a couple of hours.
 
how nice of you to prepare gifts for everyone :) We did gifts for family and some close friends this year but skipped buying gifts for each other (other than stocking stuffers) to save some money, we actually kinda like this idea so this might be our new tradition :)

I like Christmas/new year gifting myself. :) I think it's a nice tradition you start. ;) For me, it feels so nice seeing that they like my gift. :)
 
Excited to see what christmas bags/slgs you all (might be) getting! I will live vicariously through you all lol. We are set to close on the house next week so I guess that is my Christmas gift :lol:
I'm so excited for you two!! Yay!
I thought we were now using the 2017 thread....or are using both until 12-31?
I think we're using both. Closing out the conversations we have on this thread and using 2017 to plan for next year. :smile:
 
Sooooo...the unicorn. It's a Miss Dior Sliding Chain in green lamb. I absolutely adore the hot pink and cobalt blue ones I have :love: and I wanted one in green. I saw one for a half of what I saw them going for and I had a store credit which would have taken more off.

But...I hadn't seen the bag in person and I was worried about the shade - especially as it was no returns. Luckily AverageJoe was able to share the correct color with me and it's a no go. :no:

Well, at least it's off my unicorn list. LOL! And, in the interim I bought something that fills one of my "to buy" gaps. :graucho: I'm doing the happy dance. I'll share pics in a bit!!

I actually feel better about this. I really want to hold to getting the bags I've identified I need from shopping my closet. So even though I hadn't intended to buy several bags over the past few weeks, they are all ones that fit needs I determined I had after a lot of thinking and evaluating.
 
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?

this is gorgeous! But sorry to hear you're having regrets.. is there anyway around it? maybe give it a bit more time?

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:

And I forgot to share a pic of the Gucci drop Hoops I bought. I adore the little horsebit accents.:love:
awesome bag! and love the earrings

I bought a used mz wallace and I am so happy with it as a fantastic carefree tote. I had wanted it for half a year but not at retail. Finally got a EUC half of retail deal and I'm thrilled. View attachment 3549738
great find! love the accent colors

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.

this is gorgeous - green is not a color i have in my collection. Closest, is teal.

Is anyone one else going to do the 15 bags in 30 with me in January? Are some of you still going to do the 3 in 30 again?
I'm going to do 3 in 31. It's raining and snowing here and since my winter coats have such big pockets and i've been able to get by with sometimes just putting stuff in my pockets (what's happening to me, it's like I don't need bags lol.. ) i'll probably just be in one of my RLL totes, a carefree crossbody, and probably my speedy.

Can I have just a minute to whine and cry once again for the Coach leathers of old. The leather on those bags were truly amazing - especially for the price point.
I can spare you more than a minute because I'm still crying over them. I love Coach. Truly. Sometimes their collections don't speak to me but once every few years, everything falls perfectly and the materials, styles, quality and price, make me go nuts and i practically buy everything in the collection.

Excited to see what christmas bags/slgs you all (might be) getting! I will live vicariously through you all lol. We are set to close on the house next week so I guess that is my Christmas gift :lol:
'm so excited for you!!! Best gift ever.

I listed it for sale locally. I'll be happy if it sell and I won't price it lower than what I paid. If it doesn't sell by next few weeks I may use it. I need to remember I'm sensitive to weight. The bag is so stunning irl unfortunately [emoji28][emoji307]
 
I think I have a total of 4 SLGs coming in. [emoji28]

DBF got one of my bear charms cheaper in Heathrow so he exchanged the bear here for a travel wallet.

ETA: I have 5 SLGs under the tree. Two charms. And I bought two pairs of shoes. [emoji85] I've done terribly for December!
That sounds exciting [emoji4][emoji106] please share when u receive [emoji307] congrats!!

Oh... my! Sounds like a Christmas full of charms. It would be nice if you can use them to decorate the tree, too! [emoji16]
