Sorry Spark! I understand that feeling. It feels like the bag is cursed. Well, I hope you can get rid of it for good. Or just rest the case and live with it. No one can handle that level of hotness in bag, except you. [emoji6]
I'm very busy lately. Too busy, I think. I broke down yesterday and bought 2 blushes. I haven't bought any makeup in ages. It's another thing I'm trying to finish my stash. Well, it does well in the area of skin care, but not much for make up. I have enough to last my life time plus some more. [emoji29]
Anyway, I didn't shop my closet lately. I ordered some bags. It's a tone I'd normally wouldn't pay attention to, but this color just catch my eyes and pull, and I surrender. [emoji28]

I haven't been home yet, so the last year photo will have to do. But I have more adding left at the condo which I'll take photo tonight. So, I'll submit my lot later.

Can't wait to see your lot!

So sorry about this saga of your red Gucci bag, spark. I do hope it comes back to you in good condition. People can be truly disgusting, I guess... but it's so sad to hear stories like this. What do you think you'll do, after you come inside from dancing naked? Do you think you'll consign the poor thing?My other bag updates: the good, the bad and the ugly
1) Good: I returned the green Chanel for an easy refund.
2) Bad(ish): I'm still waiting on my serendipity bag to get here. I'm having a tad bit of buyer's remorse since it wasn't planned.
3) Ugly: my red Gucci Soho.
This accursed bag attracts scammers!!! I bought it new on sale. But, for selling purposes since so many Sohos are faked, I also I had it authenticated by Castira.
• After having the bag for 3 weeks, the first buyer claimed it wasn't the same color as described. It obviously was. But eBay sided with the buyer. I got the bag back with food crusted on the front and a parking receipt inside.
• I cleaned and conditioned the bag and sold it to a second buyer. Almost a month later she said it was a different size than described. It obviously wasn't but I didn't want to deal with issues so I immediately accepted the return. She shoved it unstuffed into a too small box.
• Now this third buyer has been Hell during the buying process. I should have followed my first mind and declined to sell as I've done with other squirrelly buyers. She contacted me across all the platforms on which I was selling the bag with a wacky lowball offer. I declined. When we eventually agreed on a price via the listing on FB, she sent me the wrong amount. I contacted her to get the remaining amount which she called "whining about nothing". Then she accused me of "selling the bag out from under her" because I removed the listings on other sites. (Why would she think it would stay listed as available?) I assured her the bag was being sent to her. When I mailed the bag, I emailed the tracking number to her. She sent me three emails claiming she didn't receive the tracking info. I responded to each of them with the tracking number and then just gave up and ignored the additional emails she sent.
Now, she claims her sister "knows" Gucci and declared it a fake. (What the heck?) I called her to discuss. As soon as I identified myself, she cursed me out and hung up. I offered my receipt and the Castira authentication to PayPal as proof. They sided with the buyer.Really??? Why say you have an investigation process if you will always just side with the buyer? So the bag is headed back to me. Well... I hope it's the bag and not a fake she swapped it with.
I have no idea why this bag is cursed. I have never had issues like this selling anything. This is a beautiful bag. I'm only selling it because I have two other red bags I wear and I just never wore this one. I've sold cheaper bags and more expensive bags. But, honestly, I'm sick of this bag. I'm thinking I'll give it to DD. Or maybe I should just burn it at midnight under a full moon while dancing naked and praying for protection from the handbag gods.Ok...soooo...nix the naked dancing part.
I'm a huge advocate of people selling their own bags to avoid commissions. It's always worked out well for me. But this has put a really bad taste in my mouth. Is it so hard for people to be honest??? Sheesh.
Terrific color! I have a Longchamp in that same color (don't count it in my collection, either, since it lives in the car). Such a convenient travel bag!
My one metallic bag: YSL Small Muse in bronze.
I really wanted to buy Mom a new bag, because shopping for bags is my favorite pastime.
But she really likes her small set of LV, plus her inexpensive Coach, Kipling, and Longchamp. I feel like she won't use anything else no matter how much she added.
So I got her a laptop.
It was not that fun to shop for at all.
I can't wait till vacation, then I can go look at the new releases for May! Charms and SLGs galore!
Are any of you getting your mother's a bag this year? Or are you expecting a bag/SLG for Mother's Day?

Other ladies also suggested for me to lower the price. Though I'm not sure if there will be takers still. One sister of mine has this bag, and since she doesn't rotate much, the bag has tremendously softened and it seems she doesn't find it difficult to access the inside. So my dilemma is whether I should keep it and break her in so that it will be easier to get stuff in and out or I should wait for it to sell no matter what. My problem with the first option is that I find joy using bags that are like new. So I'm not sure how I'd feel with it broken in.
I really like your Boy! And your PS. Plus I was drawn to your Miu Miu.
Will do!
Love your MM bag!! Can't wait to see the others too!I'm very busy lately. Too busy, I think. I broke down yesterday and bought 2 blushes. I haven't bought any makeup in ages.

I absolutely do, i had the same feeling about BV Cabat. Finally found my perfect one.
i highly recommend you to get a Balenciaga, they are seriously great bags! Most of them are lightweight, older ones had no any logo or obvious branding, they were made in tons of colours and designs were made literally for every taste, besides, they are true work horses!
I also view certain metallics as neutral. In fact I have a pair of silver metallic flats that I wear as a neutral color.
Your new bag is beautiful. I hope you get some relaxation soon.I'm very busy lately. Too busy, I think. I broke down yesterday and bought 2 blushes. I haven't bought any makeup in ages.
