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

[Hobbsy]

Beautiful, especially the BV! The AMQ shopper is very cool


Sounds very fun!


Wow Mimmy! Great combination and the rodeo is adorable!


All of these sound really fun to me and I'd be happy to work through the list! And I love all your recent purchases! They're all beautiful and fit perfectly in your collection


Happy weekend!

Thanks Liz! Hot, tired and full! Lol....Happy weekend!!

My bag arrived definitely different then I am used to but kind of fun. I know the roxy shape works for me. What do you think?

Pretty print, great shaped bag. It looks good with the outfit you are wearing.

So pretty!

Thank you!

LV have stunning charms, the ones I've seen IRL seem well made.

Thanks papertiger, interesting comment. I have the old style Tapage bag charm and some of the 'rivets' on the largest flower fell off. LV redesigned the bag charm and the newer model doesn't have the rivets anymore.

I love your charms, I've always drooled over that Tappage! Blue Nuit....wow! Gorgeous color, love the bit of shine, it's even prettier than it's name!

Thanks Hobbsy, I recently decided to keep the Bleu Nuit Alma in my collection. I have owned her for seven years and I don't use her as frequently as some of my other bags. I wore it recently to evaluate pros and cons of the bag. I enjoyed wearing her so much and I got tons of compliments. She's staying in my collection!

Yesterday's bag was my BV Cervo Hobo in Gunmetal. I meant to take a pretty pic in Barclay Square but I was late for a meeting. This is an old shot from near when I bought it new. Let me tells you it practically looks the same now and I don't baby it at all.

I wore it with Flamingo Party scarf, again old pic of when I'd just bought FP

Today I went food shopping for just a couple of items and took my V&A/AMcQ shopper.

Are we doing prints this week or is it multicolour? If so today's bag fitted

Your BV Cervo Hobo is stunning!

Not sure if this is allowed; [emoji6] put my Rodeo on my pink Le Pliage earlier this week due to rainy weather. When it actually rained, I just put my pony inside my bag. [emoji206]

Great pic, your Rodeo looks awesome on your Le Pliage - perfect match!

Love your charms but love your Alma even more! [emoji7]

Sending the Alma love your way, too, bakeacookie! Anytime I see your Alma or @msd_bags Alma, I have to talk myself out of running to the boutique to purchase an Epi Alma - they are so pretty!

I'm happy you kept her, she's so pretty.

I'm behind, so diving in did we discuss having bags we find difficult to wear/style as a possible future topic? I thought that might be an interesting one

 

[ksuromax]

Is that Ttutankhamun? All very dark, exotic and luxe

Yup, it is, i re-tied it later as a halter top to show the whole print, i could see side looks all lades were throwing at it!!

Right now we're doing dressed up bags - charms, scarves, etc.

What do we want to do going forward?

Here are the topics we've done this year
• Challenges (15 in 31, 5 in 31, @ksuromax's challenges, etc.)
• Bags by color
• Bags with special memories / stories
• Bags amazing for your lifestyle
• Bags we hate in our own closets
• Favorite bags
• Bags all dressed up (with charms, twillies, etc)

And, these are topics that we've brainstormed in past conversations or done in previous years.
• Bags by brand
• Bags by style
• Bag temptations
• The bag we're hunting
• Bags we covet but will never buy
• Help me style my bag!
• The bag(s) that got away
• Throwback Thursday - share pictures of one of the earliest bags we ever carried (from our libraries or from finding the bag online)
• Cheap / expensive bags we love
• Bags themed to travel locations
• Other categories: SLG's, Accessories, Jewelry, Scarves, Clothing

So shall we do one of these or something new? I'm all for any topic that helps us appreciate and enjoy our current collection. I've been a guilty bunny with buying but I do want to focus on what I have vs. something new.

I am perfectly happy to go down this list.

me two too

 

[papertiger]

We'll be scarf cousins! Or twins, depending on the colorway!

Can't wait to see the new colorways!

I'm also bummed I didn't get the Dans Un Jardin Anglais twilly too, with the Under the waves. I need to pounce faster.

So glad there are so many Alice Shirley fans

Oh no, I'm sorry, can't they do anything? On the other hand, now yours looks like the newer version. Sorry just trying to be of some comfort

You can't beat an Alma!

Thanks! Sorry about your charm. That kind of stuff frustrates me.

I don't think we did that. That is a great topic.

Agree that this would be fun/interesting.

Trying to post my bag charms/scarves before the week ends. I've posted most of mine, missed only a couple.
