Now I get to show off my new Massaccesi bag! It was so much fun to work with Marco on this. I've only had it for a couple of weeks, but I keep looking for excuses to carry it.

The style is a new one for him (S/S19); it's called "Luna." I was excited to be able to order it in Antique Bronze leather, which is not one of the options listed on the Massaccesi web site. A simple email to Marco started the design process: I got to choose not only the leather, but also the strap width (wider), plus he put a pocket on the back to hold my cell phone.

Oh hon! I’m so glad to hear DH is on the mend, what a scary ordeal that must have been... I can’t imagine.
Thank you for taking time to update us, and for your kind words!
I had worn the shoes twice, and I knew I wouldn’t be walking much in them - but - yeah. I should have gone for the more comfortable ones or worn my faithful D’Orsay pumps with a higher heel but so much more comfortable.
And - again - I love that PS!
Be easy on yourself right now, take time for you too.

Thanks so much for all the love. This has been really a traumatic time.

The shoes should be worn often! Very on trend for this year. I’m glad you got the brown. I’m not a brown bag girl and I really like that one!!!!!

I'm glad to hear Mr. S is much better. I went through that scare last year with my DH, and then had a scare for myself this year. It really makes you appreciate the time you have together.

I've never found shapewear that didn't make me look like a sausage so I'm happy to go without.

OMG! I DESPISE shapewear with the heat of a thousand suns!!! I’d rather workout a bit and then choose clothing that does the rest. No way I’m going to be uncomfortable. I don’t even like bras (which I do wear).

One of my friends and I are planning to do eyelash perms (curling) and I said “do you realize the ridiculous things we do as women to be attractive????” I mean seriously. Eyelash perms?

I’m still gonna do it because I do like being “pretty” and I admit my brain has been cooked in ridiculous American beauty standards. :lol: But, really the pink tax on our time, effort and cash is real. :whut: I often think about (and challenge by notions on) what is the balance between being comfortable with self and still caretaking of self. Being a careless slob and being an overdone Barbie Doll are equally heinous.

I just returned from a vacation the other day so had a lot of catching up at work yesterday and earlier today. I've only managed to visit tpf now. This is new! Longest I've ever been away from tpf, lol. I guess I was really tired from the trip. Hope to post some pics later.


Wow, 3/4 done! I am usually close to done too, but have not even started yet this year :amazed:
Click to expand...
I have not started mine too!! Last year by October I was maybe 80% complete.

It's a relief to hear that Mr. Sparkle is okay now!

I also like the tan! And I do like the bag. :smile:[/QUOTE]Thanks for the well wishes for Mr. S.
