SLG Sunday - Christmas Edition!!

I had given my black LV travel wallet to DBF since I had taken the Burberry store credit for this absolutely fantastic wallet! Organization! And the thinnest travel wallet I've seen!

For when premiere items aren't appropriate and I need a very worry free set:

IMG_1482686697.155869.jpg
Coach x Disney thin card case and hangtag!

The final 2 SLGs:

To complete the canvas key pouch set, monogram! And the desk agenda cover which I intend to use as a sketchbook - notebook cover!


So here's my 4 SLG ins! 5 with the Gucci pouch. [emoji85]

No new handbags, unless I find that inexpensive bucket bag in like less than a week before my ban! Haha.


Merry Christmas everyone!!

Still have to celebrate with the other side of the family. Haven't really gotten to really look at the fossil my brother sent me. Mom bought me a white very small Coach Kelsey. I think I am going to keep it but it is not something I would wear much . It has no pockets and the crossbody strap is not removable, so if you wore it hand held it would dangle way down . My mom put the gift receipt in the bag and said I can exchange it I like , but my kids said that would be terrible and my stepdad said he picked it out. So you can see my dilemma.

That is a small bag, but perhaps an occasion/dinner bag where you carry very little?

I would return it. But in my family the priority is the person getting the right gift and we'd feel bad if they kept something that didn't work. In the end, I think you have to balance how your mom feels with you having a bag that doesn't work for you. Since she included the gift receipt isn't that a signal that she bows you may need to get something different?

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.

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.

Merry Christmas over here as well!

I need to learn my lesson about buying sight unseen and especially custom ordered bags. I am addicted to designing bags in my mind and having them made & mailed to me and I *must* stop now! I'm such an addict. Carbs and purses, my downfalls....

Are you liking the bags you design? Perhaps you could find a local leather tradesman to work with to have a bit more control.
