These are fabulous! So distinctive. That Seeger is amazing. Thanks for sharing these, and organizing them by decade!
Thank-you! The Seeger bag is of an amazing quality. It´s really heavy, too. Seeing it still in distress and dusty in my photos I should muster the energy to get it on the table and fixed up a bit. It has been sitting on an open shelf for ages.
 
Oooh a fellow Aigner lover, hey! :wave::biggrin: I think Aigner mainly uses gold hw, buut in the past I have seen collections with silver chains or at least gold & silver mixed. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you that they come out with a silver hw line soon! Atm the only silver hw at Aigner I know of is from the men's collection (which I def love to shop from too occasionally!) And thank you so much :flowers:
Yes, a huge Aigner fan! I´m so disappointed all their current hardware is gold. There ´s more than one model I´d love to buy as my "daily crossbody". The sizes are great, the quality is great, the prices are affordable.... The silver collections all have been a while... I used to own an all black Lucy which was really nice, but I did not use it often enough to not give it to my daughter when she asked me for it.

My bags are all gold hardware, but as for their bags in general being more of a light gold, yes! Not all of their gold hw is super intense yellow gold- I'd say loads of it is champagne-gold or light yellow gold :smile:
...but unfortunately still gold... I´ve seen many pics of the very light champaigny gold hardware that were able to almost convice me it could pass as silver, but knowing myself: it can´t and the poor bag would only sit on the shelf as especially a crossbody with a chain has to be silver HW for me or it would clash with my silver jewellery and make me feel uncomfortable.
 
This advertisment turned up in my inbox. It might be of interest for anybody thinking of sanizing their bags. The products from this company I´ve used so far are very nice and reliable.

Woke up in a grumpy mood today which is frustrating because I had a great weekend. I’m just reeeaaally tired of being in the house. Like seriously. It’s been almost continuous for 6 weeks. :hysteric:

Hopefully my doctor says I get to stop wearing the medical boot tomorrow! That would definitely lift my spirits. I feel like my foot is trapped in concrete. :whut:

But, I won’t be back in heels for another month or so. In anticipation of being in flat shoes I bought these Jimmy Choo sneakers. They’re sparkly. :giggle:0F9E1F23-B1DE-47E5-87FE-F30FF7BDA5DF.jpeg
I missed them when they were in stores so I was happy to find a new pair resale. Yay! I’d love to have the silver ones as well so I’m keeping an eye out.

Other than that, I decided to list the green & pink Kate Spade bag I bought last year. I haven’t worn it once. So, it needs to go! That means two bags up for sale and my collection drops to only 22 bags. :faints: I’m more comfortable with 27-30 bags so, I really could do some bag hunting. But, nothing is interesting me at the moment. There are things I could buy that I’d really like but I don’t want to get back into that mode. I want to stick to only buying when a bag sits at the intersection of fitting a need (my lifestyle) and is one I crave.

How is everyone else fairing today?
 
Congratulations on finding the shoes - I really hope the boot comes off tomorrow!

Our state is starting 'Stay at Home' effective Wednesday, they're saying for 2 weeks only but I think it will be longer.

While I think this is great - my co-worker (also known as Mr Cookie) thinks he will just keep on working.
My face = :hrmm:
My job now is to convince him to at the very least compromise and go in twice a week. One day to complete all the reports, another to get them packaged up and in the mail, all appointments go to teleconference - no excuses. Employees work from home.
Yesterday I had a panic attack, hyperventilated and wound up in the hospital.
Today, I'm working, but really spending it winding up things like the forwarding the mail and phones to make the transition as smooth as possible.

EDIT - My co-worker has told one office to bring their laptops home, PROGRESS!!

I am so sorry to hear about your panic attack. I am sure there are many who are having one. It will all be well, we will all come out of this, different but wiser and better having lived through it. So stay calm, drink tea and play with your bags. Hugs

I’m so sorry about your panic attack. Please take care of you.
 
Thank you! No, I didn't do it myself. Coach stores has stations in them called "Coach Create." They have all kinds of embellishments you can have done. Usually they only do it on new bags that you buy in the store, but they made an exception for my older bag. They help you try out different things before you decide on the final result. If you can't get to a store, you can select the embellishments and placement online.
It sounds kinda like "build a bear"… only for BIG girls! :giggle:
 
"Mar. 22: Black" - YAAAY, this is my week :biggrin::yahoo:

The panic attack must have been so scary. I'm glad you are better today. I think it will be difficult for all of us to stay calm over the coming weeks.
 
Thank you @southernbelle43 , @Sparkletastic , and @whateve - I appreciate your kind words. :heart:
I feel like a namby-pamby, coddled baby and I'm a little embarrassed. But I am okay, blood tests came back showing I did have an imbalance, so my meds are changing…. and I'm avoiding stressful attention grabbing news.
Puppies, kitties, scarves and purses. TPF has been a big help - lots of eye candy!
