Fellow Bullet Journal user waving at yougreat system @catsinthebag!
Yay to making your Bullet Journal pretty!
I use stickers and coloured pens in my daily journal too. It’s like a scrapbook concept really - a great way to keep track of your year, and feel like you achieved something when you flip back through!
What a wonderful story!!!
This is one of my faves from your collection. I’m starting to get a liking for LE bags.
Now here’s the dilemma. As @vink said, if I sell it, I’ll likely never find it again.
I have to ageee with @elaine. The Jimmy Choo is very pretty and I love saving money. But, I really like the YSL.

@Sparkletastic
1) Agree with the others, hold on to your Chanel as a museum piece. It won’t hurt you and if you don’t reach for it when the jumbos are more fashionable again, then that’s your answer. Don’t sell in haste and repent in leisure.
2) Thank you for the Antigona love

3) I know. I like the look of the YSL WOC better too, but do I like it 4x more? I won’t settle, but I need to see the Jimmy Choo in real life before I decide!
I don't carry my small bags enough so I wouldn't get it. If I were to get one, I'd get the blue one because I think a bag like this should be a fun color. It makes it more adorable.
I wouldn’t buy a bag that can’t fit my phone either. I do love that blue though. It’s like my Cinderella blue bag and shoes from Gucci. I also have Dior heels in this colour. Love

wow, you've progressed this far! 27 pages and yet it's still 2018!!
Hope, all had a great Christmas day, those who don't celebrate just had fun and @ElainePG happy belated BDay wishes, i was thinking of you on 25th, but was not online to post
we had fun, although we are orthodox and our xmas will be in Jan (Orthodox church runs on old calendar and is 3 weeks behind) we had our catholic friends popped over and i always cook something special and a turkey, plus kids start getting pressies, so it was a great fun and we are full of spirit and anticipating the NY and another round of xmas
i found a bag in our local secondary market that is a sort of a grail for all Bal fans, and it was it great (almost new) condition and we agreed on the price with the Seller, plus 5 more bags sold in the consignment, so things are great
i scrolled thru all what i missed and hit the 'like' buttons, but i must say those pics of old Coach bags are![]()
the leather is TDF!! i don't have any Coach, but some look really gorgeous!
Congratulations! Looks like amazing leather!
I'm always curious to learn about possible hidden gems. I'd love to know what's your favourite floral-fruity scent. Oh, what a great idea if I ever end up travelling to Grasse. Having my signature scent would be the same as finding my unicorn bag and once I've found it I can dance on the clouds. Glad Dawn 2 is perfect teleport for you to the Riviera.
My all time favourite is Irish Nobile which literally 1 spritz lasts from morning to dawn on me. My work scent is The Silk EDT (not EDP) by Sensai at the moment. It's such a chameleon scent without being overpowering. I've been testing this lately. Addicted to the tuberose but coffee is a surprising combination.
I think Christopher Bailey did a great job introducing House Check and Mega Check. The bigger pattern makes them look more luxurious and less "busy". To be honest, the Nova Check on the latter scarf reminds me the chavs era and when the fakes were blooming and when Burberry hit the rock bottom... This happened a couple decades ago and probably no one cares or remembers but I personally am not fan of Nova Check for these reasons though Burberry is my favourite brand. This is my opinion and of course, what you love the most matters.
Thank you for the perfume recommendations. I’ll have to check them out!
- For staying power, Tom Ford Cafe Rose lasts on me for hours.
- In sheer flower power, I like Chanel Gabrielle. I went to its launch in London last year and I do like its all flower heart, although it has NO lasting power. That isn’t a problem for me though, as I spritz fragrance all day.
- With a bit deeper / huskier floral tones, I like YSL cinema.
- Another flower power (I particularly like white flowers) is Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia. That’s one of Selfridges’ top picks for the perfumes they sold in the whole of 2018. I find it can be almost too strong for me at times, but if I’m feeling quite feminine, I do use it.
- one of my signatures is Chanel Coco Mam’zelle. It settles a bit deeper on my skin than most people, and I get asked what I’m wearing all the time. I met Lisa Eldridge once (love her!!) and she said “You smell gorgeous!” I replied “thanks” (mentally jumping like a five-year old at a compliment from Lisa Eldridge!) Then a minute later she said “What are you wearing?”. So I guess she did actually want to know and wasn’t just being nice

@ipsum your knowledge of skincare is impressive! Now I know who to ask for recommendations!
And also, I didn’t know the old check from Burberry was called Nova. I have two giant check scarves, but I’m pleased to see that the “classic vintage check” is also for sale again as a current range - I have a couple from a decade ago which I haven’t worn in ages because the check is out of fashion, but they’re lovely neutral colours (stone white and military red, so I’d like to bring them out of retirement!)
