2017 resolution - shopping my own bag and wallet collection. Any one else?

No, not vinegar. Just pulled them out of the freezer and put them on steamy feet, topped with thick wool socks.

I never heard that one. My mom used to put wet vingar on a sock and then put wool socks on top to bring down a fever.

 

[HopelessBagGirl]

Huh, I wonder why the vinegar

I don't know but it definitely worked to bring down a fever. I will have to ask her.

Is it bad that I can't change out of this bag?! We're casual wear in the office for days leading to Christmas.

That means you love it. What could be better then that. Also it looks fabulous on you my friend.

Sorry to jump in, but I still owe you some pics! Turned out to be difficult, photographing this dark blue coat, especially showing the silver side buckles. This is the Boss Cielina coat and I am wearing both kinds of bag hardware with it. Have to try it with my dark red / soft pink / purple bags! Here shown with Longchamp and Mulberry, Burberry in the background. My other new coat (Strenesse) still has to be worn for the first time...

The coat looks very elegant on you.

Thanks my dear DC!! Btw, do you use/were you advised to use Collonil on this grained leather? In the description for Collonil gel it says smooth leather. Did they tell you anything about conditioning at the store?

I sprayed it with the collinil weather proofer and have put cream on it to keep it moisturized. It works fine on mine.

Thanks! I have used the spray on mine. I don't have the gel or cream yet, I'm thinking if I should order one. We don't have Mulberry here. I'm thinking of ordering from amazon and having it delivered to my sister.

Did you know that Meghan Markle owns the bag in two colours/sizes? She is looking into British brands now [emoji6]

Mine says gel on it but it looks like a cream inside.

It’s a great bag and you’ve wanted it for awhile! It’s good you didn’t settle for a stand-in!

I’m wondering if I should get Collonil too. Should’ve seen if they had it at Mulberry last week. [emoji28]

Love your boots and that coat is so classic and beautiful.

Lately I've been reminding myself that replacement bags don't work and will just turn out to be not cost effective in the long run. So I'm really glad I went for this!
