Great combo! The Trim just ties that charm in.

I remember the frenzy to find that charm. So pretty!

My quirks for bags are if it is going on my shoulder no more round handles, though for hand held I like round handles. It must have a pocket or two. I still have a spare bag organizer but I prefer that the bags work without one. Ironically I could care less for key leashes because I never use them. I don't put my sunnies in a case so no keys or anything scratchy can be loose in my bag. I hate fussy openings. If it is hard to get in the bag I don't want it.
Bake stopped in Bally yesterday and asked what that thing was for and both Sa's at the same time said keys.
I have started a separate list of bags that is for traveling, sports, messy places. I realized I had gotten rid of all my inexpensive bags that worked for certain things. I replaced the one bag that had to fit in a certain pocket in my chair for outdoor art events. There are other such things I do that I do not want to take a nice bag because there is a good chance of it getting stained. So I picked up a few different bags for just those things all for around a hundred. They will not be counted in my real collection but I am curious to see how often I use this type of thing.

That makes sense. Lol but I'd have to have it hanging inside cuz it would look odd to have my keys hanging outside lol.

Inexpensive bags for outdoor events don't have to count, so great job keeping the costs low and the usefulness high! [emoji119]

I did, and it's so much less spam in the mailbox!!!

Oh man.

So I had bought the coach Disney luggage tag online, and made my tea rose purchase in store.

Of course they got my email, cuz they need all that now [emoji28]

Unsubscribe! Unsubscribe! I got what I wanted.

How many of you have already or will unsubscribe from these emails to prevent temptation? I was doing so well until I gave my info again when I made my purchases.

Until those purchases, the only email I got was from Bloomingdales. And those are less frequent than Coach. Coach is daily, sometimes multiple times a day.

Unsubscribe! Lol

Yes! Hit that unsubscribe button I routinely have to go back and unsubscribe because it is just way too tempting! Sometimes I'll tell myself I'll just take a peek, and then for the next couple of days my inbox is full of "did you leave something in your cart?" "come back and take another look" kind of emails. It has taken me a long time to more or less weed impulse shopping out of my system, so this is way too dangerous for someone like me!

I know!
I'm almost afraid to order online at Ann Taylor for this blouse I want because it resubscribes you to their mailing lists.

I'm just shocked that Coach spams you so much, especially the outlet one.

Successfully unsubscribed!

I love your Evelyn! What's the name of the color? The twily looks very nice on it.

I think it's Orange, but I'll have to check the receipt for the official color name.

They had to drop the price in 2015 in the UK coz no one was buying LOL - except me of course

We used to have sales in London but without scarves, I can't remember what I bought except some great JPG-designed hats and toile and Swift Jumping boots, things that made me excited and may have bought anyway had I looked at them earlier. Mostly it was just RTW and shoes but I didn't like most shoes in those days, they were so conventional and boring. In France, if you're a good customer, you can buy RTW/footwear in the sale straight from the store with an SA invite, I bought my second pair of Land boots that way. We still have a sale in Paris that included scarves but the sales require luck and I'm not prepared to compromise. Just the price of the trip there is stupid too. I'll order my scarves before they even get into the store, they're reserved, I choose, leave, done and dusted. I've never had to sell a scarf. TBH, listening to others' stories, I feel I've saved thousands paying full price for the exact scarves I want but some people comeback with excellent scarves, even ones that were supposedly sold out worldwide LOL.

This Hermesmatic pop-up stored are interesting. H uses leftover scarves from past seasons and dip-dyes them, also you can bring in your old scarf-mistakes and over-dye them a different colour and I think that service is free. Not sure where they're going to pop-up next but I'd love to go to one even though I have no scarf I'd want to change. http://www.purseblog.com/hermes/hermesmatic-nyc/

I've only been to one sale at BH, but I guess since I went at the end, it wasn't chaotic as I expected.
I'll buy some in the boutique, especially since here, certain designs and colorways sell out. (I missed out on the under the waves twilly!)
But I do like knowing I could search older styles at the sale, since I started my scarf habit after themes I like have passed.

It does require luck at the sales to get some nice stuff, but it's kinda fun, and I do like the search.

The Hermesmatic is really interesting! I'd go and buy a scarf that's already dyed. I love the few H scarves I have.
Has anyone dyed a twilly? Lol.

Hello there, I have a question for you: my third bag/charm combination would be my Fendi 2jours and a black fur pompom. Do you wear furry items in summer? Not sure about the charm, but I wear my furry bags only in winter...

I've only worn my fur puff in the colder weather, but I will wear the Burberry bears year round.
I've seen people wear brighter colored furry pompoms in the summer, and darker ones for the winter.
Unless you have the monster fur charms, those can also be year round.

But at the end of the day, it's what makes you happy! It's your charm! Your bag!

So there is one old scarf I mistakenly found out about and I want it so badly.
I guess this would be my HG scarf?
It's the Hermes La Laboratorie du Temps, in the silk 90.
I'd also love the under the waves twilly, I guess I should've dropped by H in Hawaii to check, but I forgot lol.

Awesome!

Yes! This has happened with me as well. I've upgraded my collection but have a need for bags that work for occasions where I don't want to take an expensive bag. But they still have to look nice and have good quality. That's why I started calling them carefree bags instead of beater bags.

I have a couple bags for fun days (my KS Mini A Satchel and Coach patent saddle) but I'm not in love with them so I need to replace them. And I need things like a tote, a larger slouchy shoulder bag, etc. I've had a list of the 5 of bags I want to buy (types like "a tote" not specific models) for a while but haven't focused on it. Lots of brands are running sales now so it's a good time to look.

Even Coach and Kate Spade are to nice for some of the things I do. Barbecue with my friends dogs running around the deck with us , plein air painting and other such endeavors.

These come up. Try to research your perfect cw ready to pounce

No twillies apparently. 90 & 140 only so far. Talk of a 45 but no evidence
