The chain is beautiful!When I reflect the past, I should definitely just have waited patiently my HGs to appear. After buying them I just felt very content. No more FOMOs like "what if this is as good as my HG" while my HG is not available yet...
I love the pastel coloured notebook from LV current collection but I find it hard to pay over $100 just for a notebook and you don't even know how many pages it includes! I'm sucker of positive hype, though. For example, I hate the look of vanity case bags and find they look absolutely ridiculous but after reading countless postive reviews of this novelty invention I'm starting to think maybe it's not a bad idea after all. Oh well, at least I've a vanity case already and a chain (=my long necklace) too if I ever change my mind.
Here's my card case "WOC". I love this combination. It's nighttime here so lightning is not the best. The white box in the background is a gift with my Chanel cosmetics purchase along with a cosmetic pouch so I don't need to buy a new make up bag anytime soon either.

It's not irresponsible. It's in your best interest to limit news intake! I haven't been able to make those hard boundaries for myself yet.How frightening that must have been, when your husband got sick yesterday. You did exactly the right thing isolating him, but you must have been in a panic. I'm so glad to hear that he's better today.
I agree with you about the importance (physically & mentally) of daily walks. Perhaps Chicago has made that decision because it's a crowded city, and they're concerned that people won't be able to maintain a healthy distance from each other. I'm just speculating; I didn't read the story. My husband put on the 12pm national news today, and after five minutes I had to leave the room. It was getting me all stirred up.It's probably irresponsible of me, but I limit myself to a few peeks at my local online new sources, twice a day, just to see if anything is happening near me that I have to respond to.
We're doing a Zoom get-together with friends on Thursday. My husband doesn't know about it… it's a surprise for his birthday!
That is so exciting!! Let us know how it goes! It's going to be so much fun and I hope he'll be very surprised!
LOVE that cute little Gucci bag!! Can I see the horse print shirt? It sounds amazing! How sweet of your husband to get you a peacoat. I fear that my husband really tries and thinks hard about his gifts, but somehow ends up missing the mark. I like what I like, he likes what he likes and wants to try to get me something he likes that he thinks I'll like, but we don't often overlapCongratulations on your Choo Tennis shoes, they sound nice even though they may a concession to your surgery. As for achieving your intermediate level proficiency in French - that's fantastic, WELL DONE Sparkle!!!!
Well...
I haven't had much time for this thread with mod/authenticating/work duties so I feel badly about that.
Gave away one bag, and some books too as my shelves were heaving.
No new bags so far this year. The Gucci Zumi is calling me though
. I also love the new velvet striped Gucci 1955 shoulder bag (below - click thumbnail for full size) but it's disappeared from the website so I don't know if it's actually been issued. IRL (catwalk) the velvet looks darker overall.

I wear my H Evie every day and I was wearing plus other H bags and Guccis from 2002 to 2014. Now I'm down to only my Evie except to the supermarket. For grocery shopping I've swapped to a nylon, washable bag coz there's no way I'm putting disinfectant near any of my collection.
I haven't sold any jewellery either but it'd be for scrap (as in value). I am very careful choosing jewellery. I like most of my jewellery, I just need to change it more often. I was doing the charm ring stacks for a few weeks along with my mother's 1970s large knot ear-studs and now just a single faceted onyx band ring and Hermes Chain d'Ancre rg ear-studs. There were some beautiful 18K yg filigree and diamond earrings at Gucci last time I was in, I think I like them even more than any bag. As for accessories, I still like what I have.
I always 'invest' in my wardrobe.2 planned H scarves plus I bought a second Brora bright pink silk shirt with horse-print because I liked the first so much (bought September). I bought the first full price because I thought they'd sell out. Well nobody bought it but me so it was in the sale available in every size. At least my second one was 70% off. I also bought a 70% off blue animal print silk shirt at the same time. DH bought me a Burberry peacoat/reefer coat which I haven't taken off. That was before lockdown. He hasn't had much work since so not feeling great about that but at least I love it (and him).

My husband never buys me gifts. He says he wouldn't know what to get and I can buy anything I want.LOVE that cute little Gucci bag!! Can I see the horse print shirt? It sounds amazing!

Thanks! I didn’t know you let go your Foulonne Longchamp too. I just needed it to have a bit longer strap drop plus it was really not getting much use - if I wanted to wear Longchamp I normally would go for the nylons and when I wanted leather I would normally pick something else too.
I love the look, so polished, but I was not reaching for it. I just have other bags I preferred to use, so rather than it sitting in my closet, I let it go.
Thanks! I’ve not worn my MJ Baroque Single bags in a while. Super love the look but I guess chain straps are not easy for me to wear.
I think I got the Massaccesi midi Theia in late 2018. While the style works for me, I don’t love the color of this particular bag. It’s the Light Port. That time, Marco ran out of his regular Port color. He asked if I wanted this instead. I thought it was okay, but when I received it I didn’t like the color. Later when I got to have another bag in The original Port, love love love!
Btw, the midi Theia also works for me as a bigger crossbody bag.
What Longchamp is that? What material? Looks unique!

I'll take a picture of mine tomorrow so you can see the beautiful print better but here are the stock photos. I bought the blue too because When I've worn my bright blue H Paris hat it's made me so happy. Both I've already worn a few times but with jumpers (sweaters) underneath. There's plenty more if you want one!!!!
I have been looking for a replacement dark peacoat for around 5 years so he knew what I wanted. I had an original Gloverall, pure wool vintage one from the 1960s (actually a boy's coat) black on the outside and red wool fleece on the inside and loved it but it had finally given out. The Burberry is a lot smarter, black wool with leather pockets and trim, but I'm trying to just use it and not save it for 'best'.

Great Evelyne pic! How lovely you can prepare your soil now. It sounds like your garden will yield many delicious treats!
I agree with @papertiger , cute bag and great story!
Thank you so much Elaine.Thank you SO much for the eye candy, @More bags .I just love your Bolide. I never knew that the Bolide came with a long strap in addition to the handles. And how interesting about the history. The style is very nearly 100 years old!
You & I are twinsies on the scarf Jardin de la Maharani scarf. Such a beautiful pattern & colorway.
Yay twins, it’s a pretty design and the I find the colour makes is easy to wear, too. Yours looks great in your avatar.
This would be much better for me. I ask for H scarves and he's less than enthused. It's a work in progress!
