Thank you!

I just finished unboxing everything and taking pictures for my photo diary. This is my second favourite Valentine’s box ever Lots of photos to follow soon

 

[Miss_Dawn]

All boxed up...
(Bless him, he can’t gift wrap!)

And all unboxed.

It’s an assortment of things I wanted over the year, in one go! I talk all the time about things I’m hankering for but don’t need, and Mr Dawn just makes notes and gets them for me. By the time I receive on Valentine’s, I’ve always forgotten my lust list and it’s a lovely surprise

- LV Kirigami SLGs
- the YSL Pale Gold WOC I had my heart set on
- caramel cookies and Ferrero Rochers
- rose gold water bottles
- rose gold travel jewellery case
- Swarovski Tiffany Blue pen
- Parker Sonnet Fountain and Ballpen
- so many Diptyque goodies, including this year’s limited edition roses candles - Damascus and Grasse roses!!

My cup of happiness runs over

Love watching this thread and all your beauties.
Here are my red bags:
Lancel ( very practical IMO )
Fendi 2 jours large ( not used often)
Chanel medium classic ( my favorite bag but ot the most used one).

I am also very happy with my january status:
1 bag out, 0 in
Several items sold ( clothes, shoes..).
With the money I could buy my very first Balmain blazer ( on sale youhouhou...) and a pair of chanel
Black sneakers ( planned).
I think I did quite well!!!
I even managed to resist to a gorgeous light grey coco handle. I loved it but I know it is not realistic compared to my wardrobe ( lots of jeans and dark outfits ).

I am currently eyeing a JuC ring but I want to sell some unused stuff to fund it. Let’s see...

You are a wonderfully lucky lady, especially because your hubby is willing to take the time, effort, and thought into putting something like this together for you! Do you typically celebrate over the weekend before Valentine’s Day?

Congrats! You blazer is a classic! I’d love to see some mod shots of the blazer and of the sneakers!

 

[Chanelandco]

Thank you dear!
Will lately add modshots.

Dang man, you are one lucky gal! I sure hope your love language is “gifts,” cuz he really comes through on that front!

My DH doesn’t pick up on ANY hints, which is fine because I actually don’t like receiving gifts that I don’t want. I know, I know, it’s the thought that counts ...sorry to sound like a rude ingrate What works for us is “ ooh, look what you got me for ..birthday//Christmas..” Somebody’s always surprised

 

[Rhl2987]

These are all gorgeous bags but that Kelly is the scene stealer! Whoop! You are going to make me cave on a Kelly if I keep seeing these beauties. Lol!

I can see why the City Steamer isn’t sparking joy for you. It’s a truly great bag but, it isn’t remarkable compared to others in your collection.

Kelly Sellier is my favorite style and it’s truly classic and even more beautiful in person! It’s also the most difficult to make because the stitches are on the outside of the bag and have to be perfect. When you decide the time is right for you, and you find one at a comfortable price point, I’m sure it’ll be love at first sight and a forever piece in your collection! My heart skips a beat whenever I add Kelly Sellier bags to my collection. I can’t wait for you to find yours!

 

[bellebellebelle19]

these 2 categories are French bags (i.e, structured, Chanel, B/K Hermes) and Italian bags (i.e. slouchy, soft leather BV, Balenciaga)

I thought Cristobal Balenciaga was French, but it turns out he was Spanish! And apparently now the Balenciaga fashion house is based in Paris

Here are my two reds! LV Sofia Coppola in Cherry red with gold hardware that I had on my wishlist for so long before I bought it many years ago! I’m now sharing it with my Mom, but I love this bag so much. The shape makes it a bit harder to carry but it does fit a lot and I’ve used it for traveling in the past. I just don’t want it to be too misshapen. The other is my Rouge Vif Kelly Sellier 28 in Tadelakt leather with gold hardware. Love this bag so much and I’m constantly striving to make it less dressy and more casual. View attachment 4334541

Your Sofia Coppola is BEAUTIFUL! That's a dream bag of mine. I love seeing pics of it on TPF Thanks for sharing!

 

[bellebellebelle19]

Knocked out two extreme teams at once! My MM duo is the perfect pair for travel. I went on a trip with DBF this weekend (trip 2/4 for the year!) and the huge tote was the perfect carry-all and the mini crossbody bag was perfect for tucking into the tote and grabbing to go to dinner

This City Steamer is so beautiful and I’ve tried to love it, but it doesn’t make my heart skip a beat so I’m currently attempting to rehome it. View attachment 4334544

Beautiful red bags, your Kelly is a total knock out!

Thank you all very much

@Annabel Lee @Sparkletastic I’m loving the descriptions of your fantasy lives

@Rhl2987 your reds are both lovely!

@More bags your raspberry reissue is so stunning. Have I mentioned that lately?

@ElainePG everytime I see your avatar I have to remind myself that I don’t need a cappuccines

On structured vs slouchy, I’m definitely on the structured end of the spectrum... My off duty style is preppy, my work wardrobe is all suits and blazers. With my wardrobe, and my general style, I think I can just about do relaxed shapes (like my soft leather Pradas or Gucci’s) but I can’t do bags that can’t stand by themselves!

Away for the weekend now. Here is a picture of my Coco Handle sitting happily on top of Mr Dawn’s annual Valentine’s box of presents

Thanks for the Reissue love Miss_Dawn!

Mr. Dawn hit it out of the park again. Amazing goodies, all of them are lovely - my favourites are your YSL WOC, travel jewelry case and pens! Have a great weekend!
