This is such a chic bag. We have about the same amount of snow at the moment.

You know I love this bag. Your unplanned purchase is much more beautiful than mine (nylon bag from MZ Wallace).
I use this sinus rinse during the crud season, too. Very effective for me as well.I swear by sinus rinses. I used to stay on antibiotics for sinus infections.But, now I avoid antibiotics at all costs. With the sinus rinse, I haven't needed a prescription in years.

Thanks! I bet you get a lot more use out of your unplanned purchase than I do out of mine!
So, I have a confession to make.I thought after buying the BV Chain Tote I was done for the year, but apparently I was wrong! DH got me a lanyard from BV for Christmas, and we went in to exchange black for cobalt blue, and they had THIS bag ... I had seen photos of it before and loved it but told myself it was too small to be practical. But that argument went out the window when I saw this little beauty in person. In a rare moment of enabling, DH told me to stop trying to argue that it will get a lot of use, and that if I just love it, I should get it.
That said, there have already been two occasions over the holidays when I would have used this bag if I had had it, and another tomorrow when I will use it (casual gathering at a friend’s house when I don’t want to bring a whole bag but still want something to carry my phone, lip gloss and a few tissues).
Presenting my new, completely unplanned, impulse buy (before I go into 2018 with the resolution of NO impulse buys!).
Now, like @westvillage, I am ready for a strong pause while I use the bags I have and reassess my collection.

OMG ... and look at it with your top behind it! First off, it’s gorgeous and I really love it. Second ... you’ve lived a fantasy. My hairdresser is kitty corner across from a BV with windows that wrap around so lots of bags to ogle. I saw these lines (though not this one) and loved them two weeks ago when I was by there. But the fantasy is to go in and just casually buy one (or more ... it's a fantasy after all.) Congratulations on a beautiful bag. You’ll get lots of wearings starting now!
DD and I had a Cristmas bag exchange of the gentlest sort. She asked me if I was finished with my Coach Court Bag, an archival bag from decades past but a favorite among so many bags I’ve had over then years, and still occasionally worn. In fact, it seems to be the prototype for the vaunted LV Pouchette Metis. Inwardly I hesitated but I let it go to her. She will wear it a lot and loved getting it, wrapped in a plaid scarf of my mother’s from further decades back.
In return, she made me a little silk evening wristlet. I had been complaining that I was finished with carrying clumsy clutches so she came up with this. I’ll certainly use it since my evening wear is black, black and more black and is a pretty pop of silk. It’s lined in a dusty rose silk. Here it is

Aww, thanks! This is NOT my usual buying MO, not at all! I usually see something, walk away, think about it, post about it, Google image it, obsess on it, and try to work it into the budget with other things I think I may want down the line. And 90 percent of the time, I end up talking myself out of the purchae. So, this was a very unusual thing for me! I guess one impulse buy per calendar year is OK, right? Maybe?
The “top” in the photo is actually an Hermes shawl. One of the SAs made a comment about it — until that point, I had been so focused on the bag that I didn’t even realize my scarf had butterflies in it too! #tunnelvision!

That is so sweet and generous of you to let your beloved Coach bag go to your DD. (And, interesting insight that it may be the prototype for the LV Pochette Metis — I can totally see that!) And the silk bag she made for you is so pretty! Your DD is very talented!
It's officially 2018 here, I just wish to greet my pocket friends Happy New Year!!![emoji324][emoji312][emoji323]

I cried on Friday because I fell in love with a dog and had to wait till Saturday to do the raffle.
I got a dog! She’ll come home in two weeks!!
And my family loves this dog much more over my first choice. She’s much more affectionate. I’m so happy I got to adopt this dog. I’ll share her pic once she comes home. [emoji4]
