2018 resolution - shopping my own bag and wallet collection. Any one else?

[Miss_Dawn]

I did leave the bag. It was much smaller than I remembered and the strap was to short. I did pick up the wallet which I can use.

You did the right thing. I tried the Darley recently and it’s an awkward size. Wallet must be cute though

Being a Brit, I can’t carry a Union Jack without looking kitsch but I do love the Aspinal mini trunks. I think this one is adorable...

 

[Miss_Dawn]

I’m seriously eyeing the Aspinal mini trunk clutch in quilted Chanel caviar style black... it’s 20% off at the moment and very affordable at currently £400... but I’ve done some shopping around Black Friday recently and Mr Dawn bought me a few things so I must resist....

Here’s some of the shopping/pressies.

- a Venetian mask for a Christmas party coming up. I’m wearing a baby pink beaded dress, with my Rose Ballerine Alma BB ()

Cosmetics/Fragrance
- Dior Holiday Couture eyeshadow palette
- Liz Earle limited edition rose scented skincare
- Urban Decay Cherry palette (love rose gold and wine palettes!)
- Chanel Coco Madameoiselle (one of my signature scents)
- Diptyque Baies candle (I burn so many candles, and this rose/berry combination is divine )

Electronics
- New iPad Mini
- New iWatch

Accessories
- Tom Ford sunglasses

And most special of all... a present using a Selfridges gift card from my work place to celebrate my 10th work anniversary I thought a lot, and chose two Montblanc SLGs. A credit card holder to carry my work pass, and a slim business card wallet. The leather is perfect, and they match my laptop bag and MB pen case, which gives my matchy matchy soul a quiet satisfaction (family collage attached too) I preferred to select a professional rather than fashion brand to commemorate my work anniversary.

What a wonderful collection of goodies! I'm in love with that mask. It sounds as though it will be fabulous with your dress and your Alma.

[Miss_Dawn]

Love all your goodies! Enjoy them!

Thank you very much!

That mask!

Isn’t it great?! Love it

Oh thank you. I tried it all on together, and it looked really nice Very feminine, and because the colour palette is so pale and shimmery, it doesn’t tip into the flamboyant.

great haul!! the mask is faaab!!!

Thank you! I own a few Venetian masks too - one from Oxford, one from Prague, one from Venice and this one I bought online (handmade in Italy). I’ve only worn one once, for a masquerade festival in Oxford years ago. Now I’ll wear this pink one to a masquerade party.

I need some styling suggestions because my brain is stuck.

I want to wear my Fendi bucket but it’s pink and “feels” summery to me. But, it’s a pale neutral tone that is almost a pinkish taupe so I feel I should be able to make it work. I just can’t figure it out.

I tried it with all black (sweater, skirt, boots) and it was overwhelmed so I didn’t wear it.

Thoughts? Here is the pic of my bag and then pics of its sisters so you can get a sense of the scale. View attachment 4271361View attachment 4271362 View attachment 4271363

How about charcoal or gray? Something softer than black but close?

 

[tealocean]

I’m seeing head to toe creamy or winter white cashmere turtleneck and trousers/skirt, pointy suede boots, and topped with blush, grey or camel overcoat

This sounds beautiful!

The wallet looks very nice!! And as you know, I'm a Mulberry fan.
