So DBF is on a family trip, and I always spend Christmas with my relatives (unless DBF and I are traveling abroad) so he asked me to open one of the gifts he chose.

I originally asked for the smaller size, but he said they were too small.

So he got this! [emoji7]

This lovely Gucci Blooms pouch! He said the size was better since I didn't have a clutch. And since it's thin, I might be getting a surprise next trip, even though I keep insisting he doesn't have to.


Also, Gucci is like 40% cheaper in UK duty free with better service!!

It can fit my phone, thin wallet (tried it with the Felicie wallet). I need to see if my back up charger fits and lip balm. The back and inside are suede so it has a little give to it.


Wish I chose to open it this morning though. Would've been great to match my tea outfit.

It beautiful!!! DBF is a thoughtful guy. :)

I took this to a get together today, Christ Eve here. :) I want to use all my bags and not get intimidated by them, so, today I pick the most intimidating piece in my closet and it works! I feel much better. It does show creases in the back where it flip open, but I'm just happy I get to put it there. :) I took this while we were waiting for our dessert. :)
 
I need a small red bag for my outfit (casual dress). Second time this season that I've realized I need a less casual (than Longchamp Cuir) red bag - second time I've missed the red Marc Jacobs quilted leather Jemma that I just sold in November (first time was during our corporate Christmas party where the theme was Christmas-inspired).

So for Christmas lunch at my cousin's, here is my bag:

Note to myself: for 2017, I need a smaller red leather satchel/shoulder bag for occasions like this.
