Also, I have two orange bags. The first is more of a coral color. It's by Pilcro the Letterpress from Anthropologie, and it's a nice way to dress up a boring summer outfit.



The second is what got me hooked on upscale bags. My husband bought me this in Florence,and the leather is sheepskin. It's incredibly soft and luxe-feeling, and I'm happy every time I carry it. It's a great fall bag, which is perfect since I have dark brown boots and booties to match the leather. The suede is looking a little rough, so I think I'll send this to spa as soon as my Monceau comes back. I don't like having two bags at spa at once.

 
Nah. I'm fine. [emoji4] It happens and I just have to know what I'm doing. I can let myself drawn or just decide to be what I want to be. The brain and whatever chemical or the emotional stage can be what it want to be. I can also choose what I want to be or what I want to do. (You can be grumpy, but don't make it too long. Life is too short and at every corner, there're lots of beautiful places in the world.)
Along the same line, my DH likes to say, "you must choose to be happy". I totally agree.

A dear friend is battling ovarian cancer. She said, "when things seem hard, be COURAGEOUS. Pick up your smile and just keep going."

That's true. I can't help being sad or have quite a swing of emotion. I may stay under the blues and want to cry all the time, but I know I get this and I can actually be happy coz I should be happy. I have that right, too. Not everyone is the same and I won't judge, but you can actually choose the do something with it. And it has to come from you within so....

I hope your friend will be alright at the end. She seems to know what she's doing. [emoji4]

Popping in to post my orange and yellow bags for this week.

Beautiful bags, tenKrat! The Alma is a stunner!
speaking about colours... needed some power boost today, wearing bordeaux palette to give me the right kick
Mulberry Daria hobo in Oxblood
BV slipons in Barolo
H KDE in a matching colour (no idea of the actual name, not a big expert in H :p)
This bordeaux palette will undoubtably give you a power boost, ksuromax! It gorgeous!
I got my two bags from Belgium, and I'm floored by the quality of Cathy's sewing.
This cognac tote stands up on its own and I love the simple style.

I don't know if a close up does justice to her stitching but they are incredibly straight and even and every spot on one side is a complete mirror image of the corresponding other side, you can count stitches and placement and it is precise in a way I have never seen from an etsy bag. Surgeon like precision!View attachment 3633939

This pale lilac tote is the most scrumptious soft leather I could fondle all day.

Both are simple unlined totes that weigh a pound or less. I'm smitten and impressed! The cognac tote was €180 and the painted edges and details are perfect. The lilac tote was €55 which is ridiculous. It's raw edged and simple but the leather alone would cost that. What a deal.
I am ordering a custom designed bag with leather lining for around €285. She is definitely under priced but she is still studying the art of luxury bag making so I guess she's happy just to practice while learning under whomever her teacher is she refers to. After six years she seems to be quite good already but maybe it takes another 6 years to finish whatever program she's in, I have no idea how it works.
Anyway hope you enjoyed this review!
Great review, HopelessBagGirl. The lilac tote really tempts me!
 
I'm plowing through this year so hard, but I'm refuse to feel sorry. This year so far isn't that kind to me. [emoji21][emoji21][emoji21][emoji21] I'm just too stressed out I want to shout and punch high into the sky.

Anyway, next week is my birthday and I just placed an order on a bag from Massaccesi. It's a tote so it should be useful year-round. I want a serious tote that doesn't look like a bag. Just a leather tote. [emoji4] And then, I'm thinking about my WOC. I remember how I love them as a wallet when DD was a baby. Plus, I still have a Dior promenade pouch (2nd version) I bought a couple years ago in a deep fuchsia color that I haven't used yet. I think I'm getting giddy and excited. I can use this, minus the chain, with my new tote. And they'll all be a crazy colorful family and hopefully will help brighten up my day. I think I'm going crazy coz all the stress and we're approaching 37 degree Celsius today. [emoji38][emoji38][emoji38] Can't help but wonder how hot it'll be in April, but I'm sure I'll have an army of brightly colored bag and accessories to handle that.

I think I'm getting crazy. [emoji13][emoji13][emoji13]
Happy early birthday. I used to own a tricolour newer version of the Dior promenade pouch - awesome lambskin, enjoy wearing yours!

I have definitely been more of a "lurker and liker" recently, but I really enjoy reading everyone's posts and seeing everyone's bags!

I am determined to at least post my bags by color.

Rogue Red.

I know that the red week is over, but I just received this one yesterday as a belated birthday gift. It's from a friend whom I don't get to see nearly enough. She knows that one of my first loves was MJ.

She also must have known that I was getting a bag itch. Thankfully this bag will scratch that itch for now. I immediately moved into it and carried it today.

I think it is going to be a great carefree and travel bag.

The Oranges. [emoji521][emoji521]

My photo op was tricky today. It is very windy! My bags kept blowing over, and I kept checking them to be sure they hadn't gotten any scratches! [emoji6]
