Here's my custom tea rose wristlet.
You get to chose between certain items, then you get a certain amount of flowers depending on the item.

I also bought the extra chain to go with the pouch to make it crossbody. They stamped the hangtag with a plane, of course. :)

Paid $195 for the wristlet, $10 per rose, $35 for the matching crossbody chain. [emoji4]

LeSportsac pouch, it was exclusive to duty free and Hawaii I think. Either way, adorable.

Charms! We had to order jet pack Rexy, so fingers crossed I can still get it. Coach was completely sold out!

The tea rose wristlet is adorable, bake! It's so subtle, unique and pretty compared to the ready made ones.

The LeSportsac pouch is soo cute! Great charms. Great haul!
 
My life is very busy right now. I'm looking for a new school for DD. I will have to go home this weekend to pack bags for the trip next week. And my feet still hurt. And 2 funerals which I should attend, but so far away like 4 hours drive. [emoji29] Arg! Sometimes I wish I could divide myself into many persons. [emoji17]

Sending you cheerful hugs [emoji4]

That tassel is very cute! [emoji4]




I hope so. I hope my foot healed before my trip. [emoji4]




That's ok. It's not anyone in my family. It's my friend's though. [emoji17]




That's ok. It's not one in the family. It's my friend's. I just want to be there for support. I'll manage. [emoji4]
So sorry you are going through this.

All the time! LOL! I love pretty handbags. So I can easily ike a bag in a color or even a style I typically don't like.

But, I've had to be really clear with myself. I can't buy bags that don't go with my wardrobe or style.
Have you found that you can like a bag in a color or style you don't typically like?
It's funny when something is appealing in the shape or shade I'd been sure I'd never like. [emoji15] It's a lesson on making assumptions.
Sooo...I checked on the Max Mara bag and the info my BFF looked up for me was in error. (Never send a non purse lover to do a purse lovers job. LOL!) If I buy the bag in the states it will be almost $600 more expensive. That's 40% higher. :whut: Sooooo...since MM is an Italian brand, I'm going to hope that I can get it during our last stop in Rome. That way I only have to drag it on my non stop back to the US. Dragging it from city to city would be a pain. The "good" thing is that if this bag comes with a box I won't want / need to take it with me. That will save space.

I'm curious do you tend to keep your boxes for bags, jewelry, etc or discard them? I tend to keep boxes.
I have tended to keep boxes. I also save unique sweets boxes. DH, on the other hand, likes to clean and clear things out. Most of what I've saved has mysteriously disappeared...

Thank you!
It was so fun to make them! So many options for flowers! Plus the staff who helped me were so enthusiastic about the whole customization process, it made it even more exciting.

I wish the saddle bag they had wasn't heavy. You could put so many tea roses on there! There were some gorgeous examples!


Congrats on all your wonderful goodies.

Thank you!

very cute!!!! :tup:

Thank you!

Great haul! [emoji1360]

Thanks! Gotta put pictures on the travel thread! I keep forgetting.
 
Argh! I dropped my phone and now it has a major crack on the screen and huge black streaks.:frown: I'm hoping I can find an Apple store sometime over the next few days.
I would love to work in a brand blind environment. Honestly, I don't know why anyone cares even a little bit about what anyone else carries (wears, drives) beyond liking and complimenting pretty eye candy.

And I will connect DD with you and the two of you can walk on vacations. LOL! I am dying for cabs and restful times in a cafe sipping wine. Instead we are marching all over the place. :doh:

Ironic thing - I bought (fairly ugly) shoes specifically designed for walking since I knew DD would want to walk everywhere. I tried them out walking at home and they were fine. But, that was on carpet and not for 16 hours a day. Anyway, I wore one pair the first day and had to go to the pharmacy as I got horrible blisters. :annoyed: Since then I've been wearing my various cute shoes (that I packed last minute just in case) and my feet are happy.

I should have known that pretty pink and grey bag was Fendi. I knew I recognized the clasp but couldn't place it. Again, gorgeous bag and gorgeous combo! My wedding colors were pink and silver because I live shades of pink and grey together!!!! (And I love sparkle. LOL!)
And, I've been looking at green too! I love a true rich, bright green. I want green clothes and I'm open to getting a green bag. Haven't found either that I want to buy.

Yes! I love this city. And I'm not a big city gal. (I don't care for NY, LA, etc.). I could soooo live here. The history, beautiful architecture and culture are perfect.
And, I have eaten more than my fair share of croissants...with lots o' ,butter and jam. :lol:
Red is interesting to me. I don't think any other colors has as many different hues that are "right" and "wrong" for people. I never hear of someone saying the wrong shade of purple is bad for them. But I'm the opposite of you. I prefer blue or true reds. The orange-y tones aren't the best for me.
Deep violet. Like an aubergine? Prob not. That's dark purple. Hmmm...have you thought of getting clothes made for you in that color?

Actually I don't wear much pink or green at all. Now I tend to wear more neutrals such as black, white, cream, grey and saturated (not neon) brights like red and cobalt.
I'm actually starting to redo my wardrobe and am actively looking for pink and green. In fact with the redo I was inspired by what I did with my bags. I'm going to write down my ideal wardrobe and try to buy from that starting with capsule collection / foundation items and then building layers as I go on.

Yes! I agree. And, red is also good as a pop of color. I recall you saying you wear a lot of black. A pop of red with black is so chic!!! I bet your combos look wonderful.

Yellow is one of my favorite colors to wear but, again, I don't have it in my closet right now. I need to remedy that. Do you just have yellow blouses or all types of yellow clothes? I don't know that I could commit to a yellow bag though. I wear pink when I need a girly color for my outfits. And I wear a lot of black and don't want to look like a bumble bee. :lol:
that doesn't sound like a mess to me. You named three great colors and know exactly how you like them. I think it works!!!
Spark,

I have 2 yellow bags and 1 pair of yellow Choos. I do own few yellow blouses and few blazers but funny thing is I never wear the yellow bags or shoes with them. I tend to pair pink with yellow clothing. It's weird but I can't stand matchy matchy
 
Here is my mini reveal of my beauties! Thanks for letting me share!!

Love them all!!! [emoji4][emoji4][emoji4]
What a haul! Enjoy all your new beauties :)

Burberry bag for 49% off! [emoji7]
The colors just felt so right for where I am, and I love it!


Tomorrow's haul will be souvenirs and gifts. [emoji4]
At least, that's the plan [emoji23] I didn't plan on shopping until Wednesday! [emoji28]
Love all the new purchases! Looks like you're having lots of fun :)
