@Sparkletastic , i will add to @tenKrat ’s post if that is ok. I agree that the cles they sell now does not work well. My key fob is thick and just does not work in such a slim set up. So i use it for cash and coins. And i bought a 6 key case. It fits my fob inside perfectly, and it generally stays secure once snapped. They come in different options other than mono if it appeals to you....you can see in the pix how slim the cles is, in comparison...I love it, Annabel. The color is spectacular.
I remember when you first revealed that cute little black and white BB. Stunning.
Hi inkfade, this pen is a Visconti Rembrandt Purple Rollerball pen. I hear your fear about pen/ink leakage. I carry my pens in a pen case and knock on wood, haven’t had any issues. I also use my fountain pens at home rather than carry them in my bag. Perhaps some other fountain pen lovers can chime in with their experiences?
I’d love some real world inspiration. What current clothing trends are you ladies enjoying mixing into your looks? Which ones from past seasons are you not giving up?
For me, I’m playing a teeny bit with animal print. I’ve been around long enough that this can look real tacky real fast to me though. So, I’m using a very light hand. My favorite animal print items are a pair of grey leopard print pants and a cheetah print trench. Both are items I had so I’m not buying anything yet. I’m also looking for a cape that is more coat than super hero. Lol! I’ve always loved capes and IMO they don’t really go out of style. And I also have also loved architectural styling in my clothes so asymmetrical necklines are an easy one for me to get excited about.
Other than that, I don’t see anything particularly moving to me. What am I missing that you are excited about?
What I’m not giving up: first up is my skinny jeans with a natural waist. It took me a long time to come back to jeans and this style works for my figure. I don’t care who wears high waisted jeans or mom jeans (or bell bottoms or any other style for that matter) I’m not joining in. I also still have my one pair of sock boots from last season. They are a practical keep as they are comfy so I my toe which still needs more surgery is happy. I’ll be sad when I really do have to give these up. Lol! And lastly, I have some off the shoulder items that I won’t give up. I think with asymmetrical necklines being in, I can still mix my tops and dresses in fashionably.
What about you?
Gorgeous round 2 LV bags!
Your Doras are my favourites!That shade of purple is amazing
I'm trying moody florals. I'm trying to avoid most 90s comeback styles (I'll never wear a bodysuit again, thanks), but I bought two dark floral dresses that I just love. They feel current, and I like that I have winter-appropriate florals.I’d love some real world inspiration. What current clothing trends are you ladies enjoying mixing into your looks?

I just love your Doras. I think you got the perfect colors on them, too.
That is so beautiful!
I love it, Annabel. The color is spectacular.
The Capucines is gorgeous, but the WEIGHT. I agree with you that the BB size is the only manageable one to get.
Beautiful bags, I love the colour of your Cluny MM!
Not brave, I am with you, no fountain pens in my bag!
Thank you! That's so nice of you to say!

Thank you! I think LV does color really well.
Oh dear… that *is* gorgeous!Thanks, ladies. I started collecting LV twelve years ago. I favor the LV-Marc Jacobs aesthetic from that time period.
Did someone mention wanting a City Steamer in a smaller version?
I just went on the LV website, which I haven’t looked at in ages. I found this beauty—-all leather City Steamer in a mini size. It’s gorgeous.

- apparently *anything* goes", so I figure I'm never out of style no matter what I wear)
them. It is too small to fit my 'must haves', but if I just carry a card case that would save a lot of room. I do like the bag and used to carry it all the time - now I carry the Vespa, the MZ Wallace or the Picotin when traveling in the summer. But it's such a nice bag, has a lovely lining, and the shoulder drop is very nice. Ugh - am I talking myself into keeping it?I love all of this! I’ve been eyeing the smaller Pallas and small bucket ....yours are beautiful
Hrmmm - thank you for showing us this! I'd need the larger men's one - naturally discontinued…I have two different LV key cles. The one on top is from the men’s collection. I like it best because it is bigger, and my car key and house keys fit well inside. However, LV no longer makes it.
The bottom one is the “key pouch”. The key fob barely fits, but my DH put some sort of plastic red cover on my copy of his car key. So if I took it off, the key would fit better inside.
