My foray into SLG is something new for me. [emoji3] Since December I’ve bought 3 card cases. And then 2 wallets. I guess I’m experimenting, finding out which work and which do not. I used to not look at SLGs!


I notice that MZW bags work well for you. And with good reason!! Enjoy your new bags. [emoji3]
Thanks and enjoy all your slgs.

Hehe watch out...it’s a slippery slope!
 
I guess we are all busy, kind of silent here.

Our team has a deadline on a very critical assignment on Friday, and it's only today that things are easing up a bit.

I'm trying on a Samsung smart phone I bought recently. Here's my first photo post with this phone! My bag for today - MCM Milla.

It has been quiet! I'll post my bag o'the day this afternoon.
I love the strap on Milla!
I have been bad. We have had nothing but constant rain here. So I bought more rain proof bags. The little cross body and the little tote are new. The little crossbody has already been worn 4 times and I just got it this month.
Your love for MZ Wallace has had me looking at them!
I had a small Crosby but it was just too big. That mini Sutton is really cute… and tempting. I really like the blue camo!

Omg the micro Sutton is so comfortable and easy to use. I now have three. It depends on how much you carry but for me it works well and my shoulders are so happy to have such light bags.

GAH - you’re enabling me! [emoji38]
I might peep at them again and try to behave myself!

This is lovely. At least compared to this bag they are cost effective. Sorry for enabling. I like the ease of use and the fun colors .Then when I get bored they sell very quickly within the Mz lovers FB group.
 
All this talk about SLG’s...I love those things. I’m too embarrassed to post because I have a real problem. I can’t help buying them and I just like to look at them. I don’t change them out much at all. :whut:

Lately I’ve been on a jewelry kick. My new obsession is Native American pieces:love: I’ve been hanging out in that thread. The thing is ..I was never interested in it before. I went so far as to say I did not like it..and now I Love it.
Everything has been pushed aside..ahem..I’ve moved on from my H scarf obsession. :eek:Well not really but I reluctantly realize that I can only wear them during the winter months..that silk is just too warm. I can’t keep accumulating for a winter accessory?!:crybaby:
I have some disorder, I’m certain of it.:facepalm:
Your new interest in Native American jewelry sounds just fascinating. I have a few pieces, from trips we took to Arizone when we lived in Salt Lake City, but nothing really special, and I know very little about it.

There are also some Native American-themed H scarves, as I'm sure you know, so that might be double trouble for you! :biggrin:

How are you liking the Samsung phone? What did you have before?

Native American jewelry ..ah such a new area for me. One could spend hours on the turquoise alone. What I like about turquoise is that it’s all about the stone in its natural state..no faceting, no heating, no manipulating (for the most part). So you appreciate it for what it is. There are different mines that have different veining because of different trace minerals so there’s this sense of place. Then marry the stone with tradition & history and the silversmithing prowess..it’s quite a remarkable art form! I am smitten. Recently a member posted her cuff that is quite modern on the outside and on the inside is a story carved into the silver...the premise is based on a Navajo saying (I am paraphrasing..) that “ to know someone you can’t just look at the outside..you must look inside” So awesome!

Sadly, I do not have any of the H southwest/native american themed scarves (kachinas, wa ko ni, etc) dying for wa ko ni to show up at resale...but wait I’m quitting H scarves. But my motto is “just one more:biggrin:
 
How are you liking the Samsung phone? What did you have before?
I got this Samsung as a secondary phone. I have a total of 3 cellphone lines (what??! lol!) - 2 personal (2 different carriers) and 1 provided by the office. The company number is my primary phone and I use an iPhone 8 Plus for this. What this Samsung Galaxy A50 (dual SIM) is replacing are an iPhone 4 and a QWERTY type antiquated phone. :biggrin: I don't need higher models for my secondary phone. But I really wanted one with dual SIM so that I carry less units. I'm not sure how much higher the Galaxy S series is over my A50, but I'm happy with my new phone so far (bought duty free at Singapore Changi airport).

I just started carrying 2 phones for a couple months now. It used to be 2 iPhone, but I get annoyed with having to juggle them so I got a Huawei p30 Pro because its glowing review for camera and can take 2 sim cards. I find android keyboard and autocorrect need a lot to get used to. So, I'm still juggling 2 phones with the hope to get used to Huawei so I can transfer another sim to it. [emoji28]

Do you mean wg or yg? Vca does not do silver. :smile: I am thinking wg since I already have the yg pave in regular size. All my vca pieces are yg so will wait until I start wanting wg pieces.
It must be white gold then :biggrin: Yellow gold looks very nice and very festive like everyday luxury. White gold looks more understated and suits my everyday look better. I love flower theme in jewellery and their frivole collection is just stunning. I'm considering getting one by the end of the year if I'm good at staying on ban island. Only exception is Garden Party in gold or a Chanel mini in tan.

Happy Mothers Day to all (including those who are not "mothers" but "mother" those around them!)

Responding to the Massaccesi question (sorry, I don't mean to hijack the thread with MM, hopefully this will just be a short response haha)...What I believe happened is that the amount of work he and his 3 staffers were putting in combined with the low profit margin was not sustainable and prompted him to close. But then the number of final orders that came in and the response from MM fans allowed him to keep taking orders and caused him to keep looking for a way to stay open. His current solution is the Kickstarter to get enough funds to further develop his website so customers can see instant mockups, streamline the ordering process, and reduce mistakes...I and those on the Massaccesi thread really hope he and his business can survive...he is so nice and he offers more customization than any bespoke service I have seen...
Thanks for sharing the background story. I hope he can find a way to make his business profitable for his fans through Kickstarter.

You will get used to Android quickly I’m sure! I’m not also used to Android but at least it’s only a secondary phone, more of call and text. [emoji3]
