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's gorgeous, bake! Love the Gucci blooms pattern. I have that pattern in shoes, so we're "cousins." :ghi5:

I am out and about trying to make the gifts work. I have decided to keep the little white coach my Mom picked up for me. This past summer after I got rid of my white small hobo I suddenly needed a white bag for an event and my azur speedy didn't look right with my outfit. As for the bag my brother sent me. It was heavier then I thought and I really didn't need another black bag so I switched it out for a small Coach swagger 21 in tan.

I hope this will be the last buy of the year. [emoji4] Can I blame Spark for the lead? ;)

I bought this! The strap from Kate Spade and it comes with the tassels. After I saw Spark posted it here, I went to their site and I found this one. I like that it's glittering and blue. I figure if the length is right, it'd be good for all my Bal. I rarely wear them now coz the strap length dictate me to only carry it on the side and with DD moving, it doesn't fit my lifestyle anymore, but I still love them and want to wear them. I called the boutique to see if it's in yet, and the answer was no. Anyway, I dropped by the store unplanned and voila! It's there and they're having a sale! So, I tried it on and I think I can wear it crossbody with the Bal. :smile: I really hope to put it in good use next year. :smile:.

The only gripe is that the glitter can fall. They may be gone or go bald in some spot. But I think that means I'd already have a good time using it. ;)

One of my Christmas gifts this year was this little purse pouch from a friend! It was a pleasant surprise and now I finally have a proper space for my bags while I drive.

I hope you feel better soon! And I want one of these pouches. Are you happy with its function?

Sharing a new purchase. It's not a handbag but it makes me feel happy. And one of my focused purchase goals for 2017 is to fill in a couple of gaps in my jewelry basics so it's on "task".

I had a store credit and it was on sale so I got it for a song.:happydance: My new to me WG & diamond bangle - perfect for casual wear. It was hard to get a good picture so bear with me. LOL! IMG_9216.JPG
