2019 resolution - shopping my own bag and wallet collection. Any one else?

[jbags07]

Last night DH took me to dinner to celebrate getting a new job. I took my Gucci Hysteria clutch in violet lizard. and wore a LBD with mink/fox jacket. I think it was all this talk with @ElainePG about her lovely V Bow clutch and how it's made Newley fashionable by the the rise of the BV Pouch. The Hysteria is an excellent roomy size for day or evening, especially since I wasn't feeling in a minimalist mood.

Slightly OT. I used Charlotte Tilbury Clay mask in the afternoon for the first time and I can totally recommend it. I've never had a facemark I can use on the same day as going out.

Congratulations on your new job And this bag...its fabulous!

Questions for everyone, what are some great gifts you will be giving and what is on your wishlist?

I've scooped some great deals at Bath&Body Works, the COCOA line smells just divine!
nothing particular on my wish list (yet)
twisting my brain to get an idea for the gift to my DH

@papertiger congrats on your new job!

@Cookiefiend big congrats on your anny! many more to come!

I have been so focused on buying bags lately i have not looked at scarves but i do want to start a collection of H scarves soon....i was more inclined to buy new but if prices are good i should take a look at the secondary market...i am a little nervous tho as i don’t know what to look for to authenticate...a friend of mine mentioned that she is seeing a lot of fake H scarves on poshmark, tradsey, and ebay lately .......

This is a great time to buy, scarves, especially on eBay and if you want some older designs. The authentication thread here is very reliable.

Moving through all my purses by the end of the year, today it was the turn of my Massaccesi red zhoe. I rarely wear this bag, and today it annoyed me that it holds less than a similarly sized kelly, because the base is narrower, and is unforgiving if I want to just tuck in one more thing. I *love love love* the color, though, but prefer silver hardware in general. A girl needs a least one bright red purse, right? So I have just spent an hour looking at some possible substitutes. STOP ME!!! LOL.
Here are some pix (I'm hoping they will load, don't know in what order). Sorry for the messy backgrounds.

Ok,thank you! I’ve been looking for the last hour and there are many very lovely vintage scarves on ebay right now...

I love the color of this clutch. I can just visualize it with your LBD and your fur jacket… so elegant! I'm thinking a 50s or 60s film star vibe. Am I right?

Love all of these scarf selections with your Zhoe And that red Zhoe is just stunning.....its such a gorgeous shade of red...sorry to hear the size/shape does not work for you! Its one of my favorite MM styles...i think it looks stunning with your outfits...

All this talk of clutches has me wanting to use mine. Then I looked out the window at the pouring rain and realized there is no way I will be taking a clutch Christmas shopping. Maybe taking one to lunch next week might work.

Yes, our dry/fire season is finally coming to an end on Tuesday, and after that we're in for at least a week of rain. So I'm thinking about which bag to carry when we go out for Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday… not my bow clutch, that's for sure!

Your Zhoe is so beautifully paired with your H scarves. But the design (narrower at the bottom than at the top) would be a problem for me, as well.
Far be it for me to stop you from scoping out at red bags… especially red bags with silver hardware! What have you seen that you like?

It is nasty weather here today, so I put a pile of new men’s catalogs in front of dh . I told him to circle things he liked . Well he did more then circle for ideas he picked colors and wrote his sizes. So I didn’t go Sale shopping. Just called and placed the order for the exact items he wanted. He is now done.lol[/QUOTE]

The color is gorgeous. Try wearing it again tomorrow and see if you move things around a bit if it doesn’t work out.

I love the color, but ... a bag that annoys me is a bag on the way out.
And you say it’s ‘unforgiving’?
