These are all so awesome! Since you have leopard print as “the most you” do you like leopard print clothing at all?
Thank-you!
Well, I adore leopard print, but don´t have leopard print shirts/ dresses any more.
When I was younger...make that 20 years.. I owned and wore an assortment of homemade leopard print dresses. My boss used to hate them and my co-workers ask did I have a night job...
I feel I´m too old to get away with them, now. It would need highest quality to make them work at my age, I believe. Any "household quality" definetely looks cheap.
I do have some leopard/ animal print winter coats, though: two printed lambskins from the 60ies and one actual wild cat. Plus a tiger printed velvety coat. I do wear these and they feel absolutely like me.

  • What is your favorite bag-Red Chanel Jumbo Single Flap


  • What is the bag that is most “like you”? This is a tough one. Maybe my Denim Chanel flap
  • What is your most used bag? My LV Artsy. I have love hate relationship with this bag. It’s my workhorse and it holds so much but I’m sick of it. Well at least I have gotten my money’s worth. I cant find pic of it
Welcome back missie1! Your Chanels are beautiful. I love your red Jumbo, perfect colour! The denim flap is cool. Thanks for sharing the pics.
 
Thank you! You are so sweet! I definitely asked friends where I could, but very few of my close friends have babies! It helped immensely finding 3 other women in my area who had babies right around the same time. They became the community I could rely on with any questions or concerns. Then it became second nature or at least doing what came instinctively. I rely on my Mama instincts often and try so hard to support those around me who are pregnant or new mothers. I would love to create a larger support structure like that someday. There are so many women out there who struggle postpartum with not knowing what to do, how to feel, why they feel a certain way, etc. Happy to have made it this far and I swear the stages just get more and more fun, although she started having little temper tantrums a couple months ago! Oh dear..
Having or creating a new mom community is so important for a new mom’s sanity. Kudos to you, you’re doing great!

I started a mom’s running club after baby #1 and a mom’s walk/run club after baby #2. I appreciated the companionship of others who were at the same stage of life and I looked forward to regular active time with the babies and my friends! The time passes so quickly! Enjoy each stage!
 
Aww, let´s play! I´m responding without much thinking as I believe that´ll bring out the most honest results.

What is your favorite bag?

My favourite bag at the moment is the saddle.

It makes me truly happy! Seeing the photo, yes, I know, this one needs a bit of tlc... but I fear the gorgeous leather scent might go away when I use any kind of product on it... and it´s this particular scent of Dior leather that fills my heart and all my senses with joy to the extent I say "I taste Dior". Why can´t there be any perfume like it?

What is the bag that is most “like you”?
The Dior Diva mirrors my inner self- the shell doesn´t match it most of the times, but inside I´ll always be the romantic visual story teller...


What is your most used bag?

The humble "lovely" definetely is my most used bag atm.

@cowgirlsboots I love your choices. The Saddle is beautiful and the Diva leopard print puts a smile on my face. We’ve talked before about how useful the Lovely is. It is great to see the range of styles all within the same design house.
 
This is interesting. Did I remember that you once said you were disappointed in the Fendi because it was too boring? I personally like it.

Those Diors are gorgeous!
Thanks for the compliments on my bags! :amuse: It’s not that I find the Fendi boring. I like the styling and have even thought of getting a smaller one in red. Plus, the functionality is perfect - I usually hate divided bags but this has a center divided section that just works beautifully. My issue with it is that I’ve worn it so much I’m just dead tired of it. :doh: And, I don’t like that sagging at the bottom corners. I think that is an intentional element of the design but, I don’t have to like it. Lol! I don’t see me ever selling it because it’s so incredibly functional and low key. But, I do need to get another black bag to take off some of the “pressure” to wear. Like I did when I just bought the YSL camera to take pressure off of my LV LockMe II BB.

Right now, however, I’m wearing my Jimmy Choo Raven when I go out. It’s nice to see that bag again as I hadn’t been wearing it. Still loooove the leather!
This seems more your style and will look great with summer dresses. It’s also a great neutral.
That’s what I thought as well (good with summer dresses). And I think I could figure out how to wear it better than I could the ivory C jumbo. I’ve never been more happy to offload a bag as when I sold that.
Favorite Bag is my Prada
Most me is LV Petit Bucket
Most used is Mz Wallace Fulton Crossbody
I can totally see you being the LV bucket - great looking, stylish, high quality but unpretentious.

How are you enjoying your denim flap? I thought you were going the Lady Dior route.
That one *is* cute! I forgot to include my wicker bag in my pic. Last year (or the year before?) from J. McLaughlin. About one fortieth the price of the H wicker bags, LOL.
Not the most useful or everyday purse, but totally fun when you want a wicker bag!
Would love to see a photo.
That all sounds incredible!! What a whole new world for you! I hope that the pain subsides, the remainder, of the healing is quick, and we all get to see some dancing videos soon hehe.

Good reminder to not purge all my B/K’s just yet! :smile:
Thanks for the well wishes. I’m so bummed. I had signed up for two dance classes starting in May. Seems neither my toe nor Covid are agreeing with my plans. :crybaby:

If the animal print bag is your personality, we would be fast friends, my dear. I imagine you outgoing, confident, fun loving and quirky.

I wonder if there is an unscented leather lotion you could use on the Dior?
Thank-you!

I don’t think anyone is too old for animal print. If anything, before the recent re-awakening to animal print in the last few seasons, most people had started to feel it was for older ladies. :rolleyes: I recall a post on tPB a couple years back where they essentially said anyone who carried an animal print bag was kinda loud and dated like a mob wife from the Sopranos. I was a bit off out because I’ve never stopped loving animal print and wish I had a good one in my collection. To me, they are a great “bold” neutral. So, wear your leopard dresses and know that you have better taste than the minions who would be so classless as to comment.

I have been keeping up with my routine and doing pretty well overall. I still wear jeans daily and some type of top I’d wear out of the house but still maintain my overall casual look. No makeup still! And enjoying my new skincare routine. I will give myself a facial treatment this weekend. We’re trying to this of ways to keep my daughter entertained and this has been my best idea yet. It’s her first birthday next week so I ordered a cake and cupcakes in the theme of her favorite book! I’m looking forward to that, particularly since it means some fancy sweet treats around the house for a couple days.

Love seeing everyone’s beautiful bags and seeing how you all are faring. Stay well, my friends!
Adorable! :love:

Lovely! Everyone loves a romantic visual story teller!
Speaking of denim. I need a good denim jacket. I donated the two I had last year. Anyone have suggestions for one fitted though the waist?
I found one last year that I love by Faconnable. Honestly, I'm not certain that it's fitted through the waist, but the denim is perfect. It's not so darn heavy and bulky like my old one was.

You could make a pot of Chili con Carne and freeze it in portions or make a batch of meatballs to freeze and use later in various dishes? I hate cooking so always go for the simple nourishing solutions...
Thanks for the ideas. I love meatballs but DH doesn't but I'll see if he'll be okay with that. The last time I tried making chili, it didn't come out very good, but I could try again.
