Thank you!

We’re done! New car for DBF, no more torture for me!

And this guy was nice, didn’t treat us like we’re young and dumb. He treated us well so he got the sale.

But hurray!! DBF is absolutely thrilled, his poor old car was on its last leg and hopefully this lasts just as long as his old one did.


Hoping my car lasts a few more years so I won’t have to go through this anytime soon haha.
Yay for being done with car shopping!! Celebration in order?

I changed my outfit because, brrr, it is quite chilly when I did some Christmas shopping this morning. So I changed into warmer clothes, jeans and my favorite leopard piece, a tailored wool/acrylic jacket with black elbow patches and pleating in the back that makes it flare out a little. So, I also had to change my bag. Back to the Zhoe with that awesome Coach strap.

@tenKrat such a pulled together and chic look! Love how the bag and boots add just the right amount of edge. I think that I could rest my head on your bag and fall asleep; it looks so sumptuous!

As for me, I have been more of a lurker instead of a poster. I have been good about changing bags, just not good about taking photos.

Busy with Christmas prep; shopping, wrapping, decorating and parties.

Had some workplace drama also, but that has all been remedied. Some studying thrown in the mix too.

I have been thinking about my handbag resolutions for 2018, but no final decisions yet.
Happy birthday, Sparkle!

THANK YOU!!!! For all the HBD wishes! They really make my day, ladies! :amuse:

I had a FANTASTIC bday trip!!! :happydance: I'm headed home today happy and exhausted. :biggrin:

I thought I'd share a picture of the packable travel tote I'm carrying for giggles. Some of you may recall that this summer I was trying to find a lightweight tote to take with me to Europe. I couldn't find a forever bag so I got this Gianni Bernini tote. I've only used it for that trip and this.

Aaaaaaand...:whut: it's awful. LOL! It has zero style. And worse, it's terrible quality. The handles are already cracking.

So, this is going straight to the donate box when I get home. Hopefully, I'll find a cute and durable replacement that can even double as a beach tote. IMG_3086.jpgIMG_3087.jpg
And, if you're curious what's in my carry on, it's the 5 "real" bags I took with me. They're lightly stuffed, nestled in their dust bags and swaddled in a thick blanket for padding. No way I'm checking my babies. :lol:

Dear @Sparkletastic,

I don’t believe for one second that you are feeling tortured when you’re sitting on a Caribbean beach [emoji905] sipping foo foo[emoji484] drinks. Yeah, it’s pure torture for you.

Thank you for your veiled compliment regarding my handbags, lol!

Happy birthday, pocket friend! [emoji512]

LOL! I love the beach. But I also loooooove great bags. So, I'm crushing on yours. :nuts:
 
I'm a little befuddled and oddly frustrated. I've let myself off ban but I don't see anything I want. :-s

Well, let me restate. I see things I want. I just don't see anything that's a good add to my collection because I'm trying to stay super conscious of not cannabalizing wear. :huh:

Layover in the airport. :-s Please tell me what sense it makes to fly from Nassau to Baltimore to Dallas. :annoyed:

I think I may have found a red lamb Chanel to replace my red caviar. It's double flap which isn't perfect since I prefer single flap. But the color may actually be better for me. And the price is great.

I need to do a little more recon. Wish me luck. It would be great to find something now and be able to sell the red bag I have during Valentine's Day season.
 
A day later than I planned, but here are some photos of my new BV Chain Tote! Yesterday was gray and snowy and it was too dark to take any good photos. Thank goodness the days are going to start getting longer now — here in New England, the sun has been setting so early it’s dark at 4:30 pm! There was some sunshine today, however, so better for taking pics.

Between the comfy shoulder straps and the interior organization, I expect I’ll be using this one a lot! No mod shots yet as I spent the day in my sweats.
