Good idea to use the LC strap!
You just use it as a shoulder strap right, not crossbody?

Wish the LC straps were adjustable. Sometimes I actually need them to be longer.



Lol, I get that comment too. So I try to wear it more casual? But either way, your scarf and outfit are cute. Flight attendants are cute too, so I see it as a compliment!



It's also soft so it didn't hurt all day while walking around! I even had a small water bottle in it.

Yeah I wish the LC strap was adjustable. But it was very convenient today at the grocery, not a heavy bag at all!! And yes, I normally wear as a shoulder bag. [emoji3]

I love all the black bags! I will photo later.
Nursing and posting right now.
Spark I am green with envy because you get to move if you like. I am currently serving a twenty year sentence of my expat status, due to the misstep of dropping babies abroad and divorcing their dad, and my ex is not about to let me take his sons with me if I moved. I have six years left, 14 under my belt and the idea of having some choice in the city I live in, the continent, the country, the hemisphere.....well I think I would be weepy drunk with the power of that feeling after all these years. I'm definitely anchored and it kind of feels like prison, even as I sit in my dream house on a lake in a beautiful residential neighborhood with a kind and loving husband who looks like Hugh Jackman that I am crazy about , and I can continue to rattle off all my blessings until I'm blue in the face but it just doesn't erase that I miss my family and friends and home country and am not wild about the country I'm in and especially hate this city. My ex's home town. Shudder. Spew Spew hiss hate.

Sorry to derail the conversation!

I hope things work out for you. In no time it will be the 20th year! Hang in there.

Beige and black? [emoji6] I'm liking that combo. [emoji16]

That's my problem - I like so many of them! I like the beige and the black and also the crispness of the white and the black. There will most likely be an iridescent one for fall act 2 that looked gorgeous on the runway and who knows what they will have for cruise?!

I bought two caviar boy bags when they first came out about three years ago but the cumbersome flap and the fact that the strap wasn't long enough for me to wear crossbody (I'm 5'7") made it the wrong bag for me even though I loved the look of it. The Gabrielle solves those problems for me because a zipper is my favorite closure and the strap is plenty long for crossbody. I also love the slouchiness of a hobo but I hate the puddle effect that happens when you set it down. The structured base takes care of that. Last but not least, the mixed metals are perfect because I have the option to wear whatever jewelry I want and it adds a little bit of edge, too. I am looking forward to sunny days ahead!

Mixed metals? Even more enticing!

It'll match anything!

I plan to buy one black bag this year - a carefree bag to replace the MK Leigh. I also planned buy a real python clutch to replace the pleather one but I forget I have this bag til we do these photos. :amuse:

BUT!! What I miss is not a handbag. It's my sofa from the 2016 pictures! Do you like my avant-garde Chanel box + towel handbag display? [emoji38] All my stuff is still in storage because I haven't bought a house in my new <spew, spew, hate, hate> city yet. And, thank goodness I didn't because I can't take the cold. And it's boring. And there's no shopping. And I don't care for the local culture. And...:yucky:

So, I'm planning to move at the end of the year to a much warmer climate and a city I know I love. Then I'll have warm weather, culture, shopping and my beloved furniture back!!!! LOL! But hey, nothing ventured nothing gained. I'm always willing to try something new. [emoji3]

A few more (vintage) black.

I still have all these even though I have sold quite a few vintage bags in the past 3 years, including exotics. These are some of my favourites, and quality right up there, even among the Guccis and the Hermes.

(To the rear) 1950s Bellstone lizard with pale pink interior; (front left) 1950s top-handle baby croc with matching purse and mirror and (front right); Mappin and Webb Turtle convertible clutch from the early 1970s.
