A mini cross body sold today. It was not very much but since it was to tiny for me now , it’s fine.
2018 resolution - shopping my own bag and wallet collection. Any one else?

Oh wow. You really mean business!! You could schlep a week's worth of food on there!!!
Ooh, new bag, how exciting!!!
Exactly!!! That too- sometimes I'm just happy about a certain bag even though it's not ideal. Extra bonus if it is!!!Yes, I think so. And I've heard (I didn't invent this, but I can't remember where I saw it) that there should be, in addition to CPW, a category called PPW: pleasure per wear.
So, f'rinstance, my two LV bags... Capucines BB and Montaigne BB... which are a bit on the small side, are honestly not the most practical bags in my collection. I have to plan a bit for their use. They don't fit my iPad, or a notebook, or really anything "extra" other than my absolute basics. But they are my most luxe bags, I adore the shape and the leather, and I always feel very special when I am carrying either of them.
CPW on either of these? Not necessarily so great. PPW? Excellent!
my theory is that, because we but then DESPITE anticipating rare usage, we reeeeeally must LOOOOOOVE them in the first place! (That's my situation anyway!!!)I love this idea! For me, PPW is more important than CPW. Why is it, though, that the PPW seems higher on the small, not-so-functional bags?Maybe we appreciate them more because we wear them less?
Hahaaa, I'd love to know too!!! Or where mass transit actually WORKS...:/
Exciting! Safe travels!
It's cute but it looks really heavy and not big enough to keep things in!I'ven't bought a new bag almost a year now but I've a Tod's tote on the way which is a planned purchase because I've been looking for a perfect black tote for a couple of year. I don't know yet whether to keep it or not, so I don't count it a purchase yet.
However, I fell in love with this mini bag by Lum i. 1) The leather is simply divine and so luxurious. 2) In addition, the crossbody strap is very comfy. 3) Plus it's -25% off. right now. 4) My other bag in similar style fell apart a couple years ago. 5) I can't resist any well made leather bags for a good price.
Can someone talk me out, please? My heart says yes but my brain says no.
Reasons of "no": 1) my new year resolution is not to exceed my play money budget (though I can), 2) lifespan is around 1 year due to high probability of job change (if this happens I can wear this only during weekends), 3) I own similar sized evening bag, 4) I haven't succeed to sell any bags within 3 months to downsize my wardrobe. 5) Terrible re-sale value. I'll get around 10 % of what I pay for sale price. 6) I already have a couple of black bags.

When the brain and the heart differ, it is an indication that the purchase may not be a success.I'ven't bought a new bag almost a year now but I've a Tod's tote on the way which is a planned purchase because I've been looking for a perfect black tote for a couple of year. I don't know yet whether to keep it or not, so I don't count it a purchase yet.

Love this!!
I’m struggling. What is the best size for a purse like tote if I don’t need to carry a laptop? What size, features and why!
This tote will be used for days I need to carry more and for personal travel withOUT need to carry a laptop.
All suggestions needed from everyone please!

The Coach Taylor Tote is extremely comfortable and not too huge for a tote. I especially love that it's not too bulky, it's feels light, and again it is so comfy! I have it in Dark Turquoise pebbled leather, and the leather is soft and beautiful. https://www.macys.com/shop/product/coach-taylor-tote-in-pebble-leather?ID=2956391

I attended a corporate party last night and I wore this pair of sandals below from Aldo. Only my second time to wear it. And in both instances, I got cramps near the ankle. And my feet were sore the day after. I get lots of compliments on this pair, but wow, how it hurts, lol.
I never carry a laptop, so my totes all (well, there aren’t that many of them, but still, all) fit this category. The Chanel Timeless Tote could probably fit a laptop, but I don’t ask it to. My BV Chain Tote is the medium size —a laptop would be a squeeze, but it fits more than a regular handbag. Since we’ve been talking about Dior, I think the large Lady Dior would fit the bill perfectly.
Hey, does this mean you had the eye surgery, and you’re already back online? Or is that tomorrow?
I would like to say the size of a Neverfull PM (but with longer strap drop). Of course it is best (for security reasons) if the bag has a top zipper closure. I'm not sure you like the aesthetics of Mulberry but there is now a small Bayswater tote (turnlock closure if I recall right). I'm eyeing that, but not now. When the money tree has grown again.
