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

[Sparkletastic]

Any of you ever get want to slap yourselves when you lose the receipt on something you need to return?

I know I've said I hate to in person shop. But seriously - I can't stand it. Not even a little. So when I do force myself to go, I tend to wander the mall wide eyed and distraught like a lost soul in Purgatory. During this latest painful pilgrimage, I purchased a white button down shirt from the Gap. My skull was obviously inhabited by an alien brain because I don't shop at the Gap and I don't wear button down shirts. Sooooo...huh?

Anyway. I come out of my extra terrestrial fog and "see" the shirt. Back it needs to go. But where is the receipt. No idea. I always put them in a pouch in my bag. It's not anywhere.

Soooo...it looks like I have a shirt.

lol
i knew i'd get supported here by the best gang of partners in crime
it's not 30% off, but 30% of the store value, in other words, 70%off

Great bargain!!!

I wish i had this power of resistance...
could not pass up this one... 30% of the store tag and pretty descent condition, and i know it's going to be a work horse...

What a great deal! I have one in New Light Grey. I love this bag!

Do you still have the gap bag? Maybe it is in there.

Happy Belated Mother's Day to those who celebrate it!



I bought two interesting things I wanted to share in case you may want them for your travels.

1) White + Warren cashmere travel wrap. I've wanted one of these for a while (my BFF has several) but never got around to buying one. I got these for DD and me (I got the essential size for her because she's a tiny 5" v my amazon 5'8". LOL!) its great because you can wear it 12 ways including as a jacket, shawl, shrug, and of course various scarf tying styles etc. (this is obviously not me in the picture)

2) Scrubba thingy. It allows you to hand wash clothes on the road better than just doing it in a hotel sink. You put your clothes, detergent (Woolite packs) and water inside. Then your knead and roll the thing to wash. This will be hilarious for DD and me to do during the trip.

3) Velcro strap. I'm putting this around my LV (vertically) since it's a flap for the few times I feel I may need extra security. It's black and with tha bag having a chain and other design elements I figure it won't be super noticeable. View attachment 3699746

Your packing is amazing!

I LOVE the White & Warren wrap. I only have one but it's so useful. I would love multiples if I ever find them on sale.

No bags from me this week or last....no metallics, no embellished. I'm really boring. All I have left are red and blue which I think happened before i joined this thread
I haven't added anything technically BUT my SO Kelly finally came back from Paris so I actually have it with me now.
Friday was my birthday and DH and I stopped into the local Hermès so I could show the SM my new bag and DH could pick up a little gift They loved the special order so much that they gave me ANOTHER special order slot. The thing with these is they are pretty hard to refuse. So, I will eventually have another Kelly, a small one this time. By the time it arrives I will probably have re-homed one of the others. I really love my K32 sellier but it's way more elegant than I am, sigh!

I have done some clothes shopping as we are moving to a cooler climate with different standards of dress - but no bags. I am feeling a lack of SLGs but I have been "good".

Aww, she'll be big soon enough. Enjoy the Miffy days before she gets into Prada and all the other designers. [emoji4]

That Prada is super cute though.

I hope she won't be that big soon. Kids these days grow up so soon I wonder what kind of stuff we are eating.

Oh Vink, I love these bags. The embroidered bag is darling, love the fun Prada....my favorite is the beaded clutch! It's gorgeous!

Thank you! [emoji4] That embroidered one is a souvenir from my mom. I just simply keep everything she gives me. [emoji28]

OMG, def use that cute Prada, totally on-trend (not that I care but great to be in with the 'in' sometimes)

and what a cute beaded/embroidered beauty. Doesn't matter where it comes from or who made it, it's totally cute and stylish.

I'll use it. I promise. [emoji4] And I like that clutch, too. And I really don't care about price that much, actually. Sometimes, I just wonder what'd they get for the price they charge with so much work done. Even though it can be machine made, still....

These are all so much fun. My dd was going to throw out the little black beaded bag but I told her that's crazy and now I am holding it till I find the right person to give it to. Just hold on to them they don't take up much space.

Thanks! [emoji4] I understand the feeling. That's why I hold on to mine, too.

That leather looks good! You're making me want to join in the BV club. [emoji16]

Great bags. I really like the first one.

I vote sell the Prada. Only because you say it's too small. I can find a way to love a pretty bag. I can't find a way to love an inconvenient one.

I think our situations were completely different. You got a great work horse on sale that is totally "you" and that you'll love. That's a great opportunity buy.

I was thinking about getting a purple lambskin Chanel flap. I don't even like purple that much. I don't need one more lambskin bag. I don't need one more flap bag. So this would have been a ridiculous, wasteful sure-to-be-a-regret buy.

I don't know. I want to keep it coz it's cute and I actually search high and low to at least get a piece of this season. And I like the look of it. I may try to use it a gain and see how that change. [emoji4]

Oh... I think I know what purple you meant. Chanel made fabulous purple! This will be tough to resist. Good luck! [emoji16]

It's been raining every day for a week now. We actually have a trip for the mine this weekend. I'm wonder what bag and outfit should we bring. [emoji29]

Pretty! Not very familiar with this brand....but black leather [emoji7][emoji7][emoji7] how can you go wrong?! Enjoy ~

Ooh... it looks smooshy and I bet it smells fantastic! A workhorse indeed, but also stylish!

Happy Birthday, QF... what was the "little gift" that your DH bought for you at H?
When you have a chane, I'm sure we all would love to see a photo of your SO Kelly!

 

[eggtartapproved]

@Egg....i know the ocean color you have and it's gorgeous. I laughed out loud when you compared it to a small child! It us heavy, but so pretty!

I loved the ocean so much that I got it in a crossbody zip so TECHNICALLY I could let go of the florentine, but I just love how saturated the color is on it haha.. So not yet.. but when I'm ready, I have a plan B to cover the color already haha. DB had some really amazing colors going on for a while for the florentine.

I don't have any bags embellished or bedazzled. I have a Coach tea rose pouch and I have a small clutch that came from the collaboration Coach and Rodarte.

Really nifty tote, egg! Are the thingies along the top little brass studs? When I clicked on the photo it wouldn't enlarge.

oh oops, ya, the picture is an old one and i think it just saved as a small file size. They're half spheres, about the size of a keychain loop.
