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

Thanks for the suggestion. I check out those bees every so often but they're all a little too much bee for me, lol, The little camera bag, otoh, was just too basic. It's the three bears without the one that's just right. I'll keep my antenna up yuk yuk.

I feel you.

Sometimes Gucci is too plain or too much.

But sometimes they'll get it just right and that's when you know it's for you. [emoji4]

DBF and family decided to do a last minute weekend trip. So I'm tagging along.
I'll be using my Bally as my travel bag, my Speedy as my purse. Pics to come!!

Today is car repairs. I'm still with my Alma.

Have a great trip.

I keep on forgetting to post my 1 Gucci bag. Beloved Sukey in micro guccissima leather.

And with my scarf distraction I also already own 2 vintage Guccis - 1 is a Dahlia floral scarf by Accornero (can't find a picture in my gallery) and the other a safari themed one. Below is my seller's photo

i love the soho - simple lines, function, just perfect

Here is my only Gucci next to my Kindle (to show its size). An old family friend gave it to me as a gift in the 1980s when I was in middle school. He worked for Gucci in New York for many years.

This tiny cross-body bag barely holds anything. I guess I could use it as a date bag.

i love this! I love vintage gucci and would love to find a piece, but they're quite rare from my experience.

I just purchased a LV Carryall for my trip. I hope I like it!!

please share! and please give us your thoughts on it - i've been debating between a few sizes of speedy b's and keepalls so i'd love to hear your thoughts.

Turns out they brought the wrong glass for my car because I didn't know my car came with a rain sensor. [emoji28]

So I've rescheduled fixing it to next week. I feel like that was an epic fail.

I know everything about my wardrobe but nothing about my car. [emoji23][emoji23]

Q for the group: what's something people are knowledgeable about, similar to our abundant knowledge for handbags, but you don't know as well?

For me, it's cars. Lol. DBF was stating car stats during his car search (of which has yielded no cars) and I barely could keep up.
And surprise! My car has features I didn't know about! [emoji23]

Time to pack the Bally now, since no repairs are going to be done today.

Wine! All I know is that white goes with fish & chicken, and red goes with steak. But I hardly ever eat beef, and I don't drink wine, so I am completely hopeless.
I can talk for hours about different designs of Hermes scarves, though! :giggle

 

[msd_bags]

At least it is not your money you are spending this way.

I couldn't agree more!!

As a shopaholic, there is thrill in buying things. More thrill in buying bags though lol.

You could be a personal handbag shopper! Lol

Yes on the bottom statement! But only for close people. Speaking of personal shopper, I received a Viber message from the friend of my sister in France who received for me my bag orders from Italy in December last year. He (yes it's a he!) said he noticed I like bags (maybe my viber avatar?) and he recommended a name here if ever I would want to buy. He said to mention his name for a discount. I googled the name and turns out, the lady is a personal shopper to celebrities here!! Talk about high end items! And she appeared in a celebrity's recent You Tube videos talking about vintage Chanel bags (a lot of them) which the celebrity bought all in one trip to Japan, with the help of this lady.

I looked at that bag and your sister has very nice taste… it's a striking bag specially in black suede, Yum! Nice to get that warm glow from doing a good deed for the folks. To be pseudoscientific and a little funny, because the pleasure pathways in our brains are so well stimulated by bag purchases, no matter who we are buying for our pathways are up and happy!

It's too unstructured for me but works so well for her. I like it when we are able to find connection between our love for bags and science!! [emoji16]

I'd love to hear more of Hermes scarves over wine any day!

That's cool! A connection to a celeb personal shopper. That makes you a celeb too! [emoji6]

That is pretty cool about the personal shopper.

For me it's social media!! Lol, sometimes I feel like I come from the dark ages. TPF is my only social media. [emoji4]

Game of Thrones, Dr. Who, Star Trek, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, anything featured at Comic Con. I know next to nothing about any of them, not interested, not my thing, don't care.

There are to many things I don't know about. Also to many things I learned about out that I have no interest in what so ever. I guess cars would be high up on the list of I don't care. Unless it's an antique car and I could paint a picture of it, but even then I have to remember to ask what kind of car it is that took my visual attention.
