I just realized why I rarely wear my Henry Bendel backpack despite loving it's size and configuration. It has a satin lining. Ever since I was a teenager I did not like the touch of these silky materials that others enjoy. Do you have any weird things that bug you?
I have to wear gloves when doing any kind of outdoor work, the feeling of dirt under my fingernails makes me go nuts.
I can't think of anything purse or fabric wise.

Sequence, stones or embroidery on bags; i always admire them from afar. Like you I don't like the sensation of holding them especially if they are on clutches. Plus in the past, i've had outfits ruined by sequenced or stoned clutches held close to the body (pulling on fabric). I tend to avoid bags in this category now.
 
Gorgeous every time. I love everything here especially your multicolor heels. ;)
Thanks vink :) trying to enjoy all my 4 to 6 inch heels now while I can still balance!
I'm sorry these are in 3 separate pictures!

Lovely bags! I especially love the Swagger, that bag catches my eye in stores every time.
My only multi-colored bag (orange, cobalt, black) and it also happens to be the mini-bag I'm carrying this weekend. It's a Jason Wu Daphne mini bag, no longer made. I bought it 4 years ago when I was just becoming smitten with bags and didn't know anything about designers, or prices, or leathers, or... well... anything, really! When I first saw it on line I fell in love with the "barbell" hardware at the closure, which I still love!
I don't carry this bag often, because it only holds my phone, a tiny wallet, keys, tissues, and a lipstick, but sometimes it's just right, so I don't plan to sell it. :angel:

Wow Elaine, this is such a pretty bag! Love the bright colors and it's gorgeous.
I've always loved your mini LD and love pink and red together!! I've been obsessed with finding the perfect pink and red scarf since @papertiger posted a photo of hers. And I'd love the combo in a bag or dress, too!!!
Thanks Sparkle! A pink/red scarf sounds absolutely divine :loveeyes:
Looks like no major plans for me today!

I'll be changing back into my herbag for work, then packing for Hawaii.

So happy my suitcase will be mostly empty for all the goodies I'll be bringing home! [emoji16]

I won't bore you all with my simple packing here, I'll do it on my Stylebook thread and share the easy to wear outfits during my vacation on my thread. [emoji4]
Ooh Hawaii! Excited for you, that sounds fun!
I love this bag, it just screams happy colours!
Thanks, that's why I love it too! Just had to have it haha. I actually stayed away from anything too bright until I found this bag, now I find that I want more bright colors! A bright orange bag is on my list. I'm in no rush but I would love to have one in my collection.

Wore my Marc Jacobs 1984 today.

Beautiful! You look really good, msd :)
Well, I sold my last bag :panic:I've had a mini clear out of stuff over the last few weeks, but this last bag has been more hassle than everything else put together. I nearly gave up, so many people emailing but not bidding, and generally being a PITA, and then unbelievably, mailing me offering more money if I cancel the winning bidder! :yucky: I think I doubled the size of my blocked buyers list on this one ;)
Anyway, flush with funds, I shopped my wardrobe, and this scarf arrived today which I bought on consignment last week - coincidentally, (given recent discussion) it's pink/orange! I bought it just for the colours :biggrin: and I love it :heart:
