My white & cream bags
2016:
• Chanel Ivory jumbo single classic flap w/ ‘08 Bijoux chain (this bag was aka “the cracker”)
• Badgley Mischka Can’t Remember thr Model white Saffiano style leather with ghw (this bag was wrong in every way.
2020:
Dior Limited Edition Diorama in eggshell calfskin with gold embroidery and ghw.
I am on an eternal hunt for a true white bag w/shw. I wish I could find a cute camera bag in that color combination. That would be perfect.
The ivory Chanel was a big mistake. I bought it because I thought I “should” have an ivory / beige bag. Well...I shouldn’t.
I don’t wear colors that go well with beige (no earth tones, not a lot of blue / navy and very few pastels) Add to that, all beige / ivory Chanel jumbos look like a big cracker to me 
and this bag was destined to almost never be worn. I finally sold at a loss but, that was better than having bag guilt every time I opened my closet. LOL!
The Badgley Mischka was a impulse purchase at Saks one day because it was on clearance.
(does anything good come from impulse clearance purchases?) I hated the bag almost as soon as it came home. The leather was too stiff. The bag is smallish but has divided compartments so nothing fit. The gold was GOLD! So, eventually I sent it off to a good home. Lol!
On the complete opposite end of the continuum, I adore my new Diorama. I still struggle a bit with the color combo but it’s so beautiful that I’m making it work and even buying clothes and shoes to coordinate. Lol! That’s when you know you reeeeeaaaallly love a bag.

Same here. I don’t think I’ll be buying any bags this year. I don’t want to just “own” things, I want to use and enjoy them. With at least 5 months of this year (and likely more) putting us on lockdown, I’m not wearing the bags I have - several of which I got in the last 18 months. So, I don’t see the point in adding much of anything right now...except maybe some more loungewear (ugh!)
How sweeet of you to remember.
Unfortunately, the friend who was supposed to organize the surprise (send me the link, get her DH in the room, blow up a baloon, etc.) had a little meltdown and begged off. She wasn't feeling especially festive.
Naturally, I completely understood. We're all having meltdowns at one point or another. And since DH didn't know about it, he's not disappointed.
The author of that book is still posting on her blog, and she's got some cute ideas for how to look nice even when you're indoors, even if you're not motivated to deal with mascara and all that. Here's the link, in case anyone is interested.

Ooh, I'm curious… what kind of shoes do you like???My March stats:
1 bag in, 0 bags out
1 SLG in, 0 SLGs out
5 pairs of shoes in, 0 shoes out
Too much time at home + sales = bought stuff
Used 16 different bags
When I went to Paris with my Mom a number of years ago, I was delighted that my (very limited) French came back to me. In addition to restaurant French, and shopping French (though NOT couture, in those days!), I also found it useful to ask for: directions to our hotel, the Metro, whatever museum we were visiting that afternoon, aaaaaaand the nearest rest room…I love your description of your French language skills. If you can ask for couture and a glass of wine, what else could you need?
What pretty bags! I love all three colors. Which one are you thinking or releasing?
Yikes… that ad is hysterical!!!! Thanks for the giggle.Sending you a lovely 1990s Gucci ad. Watch that hand lady, I think he's after your bag not your body!
Your embroidered Diorama is incredibly elegant. I'd be interested to know what sorts of outfits (and shoes) you pair it with. Is it a dress-up bag? A business bag? Can you also make it work with casual clothes?On the complete opposite end of the continuum, I adore my new Diorama. I still struggle a bit with the color combo but it’s so beautiful that I’m making it work and even buying clothes and shoes to coordinate. Lol! That’s when you know you reeeeeaaaallly love a bag.
