Ooh glad you are joining us. Please show your Vuitton limited edition collection! Also, as you may have noticed, we talk about everything in this thread..most recently we learned about regional differences in real estate transactions. Then there was the sourdough bread. I guess we have interest in more than just handbags..who knew? Welcome!

Yes, please! I´d love to see the LV collection, too!

I too prefer real books. I do have ereaders but during a multiple day blackout I discovered they were useless. A book you can still pick up and read if the power is out. This reminds me I had better order a few more books with winter coming.

Sourdough grilled cheese is incredible. I’ll definitely have to share my pieces with you guys! The only two standard Louis Vuitton items I have were purchased from thrift stores for a massive bargain. Pictures will be coming!

I’ve really been enjoying visual novel games.

I decided to donate to congressional campaigns whenever I felt the itch to buy something new. Plus I’m running out of closet space

This is so great! Plus plants! Plants are good for tranquility and mindfulness, which keep us from over purchasing impulsively And a garden designer sounds so amazing! I’d love to see pics!
@SakuraSakura, ITA you should hang around and share lots of stuff including, but not limited to, your renewed bag collection, purchasing philosophy, and sourdough grilled cheese! Off to google visual novel games!

Some Karenina eye candy:



and my bag together with the new wallet. Sorry, my camera flash turned the gorgeous ruby into pink.



The bag cost me less than the wallet which in my opinion was already a bargain... on the other hand the bag had lots of issues like torn corners while the wallet is like new.

I seriously need to STOP. Anyone else so bored (pandemic) that shopping for bags is your favorite pastime?

I have certainly been browsing more. I actually find that these days many things take more time or are more involved. So there's the feeling that there is less time and more tedium, which makes me feel like browsing/shopping for pretty things (even small stuff like candy or scented soaps for instance) to add some cheer.

My wallet has arrived!
I´m really happy with it! It even came with the dust bag and a lovely Dior paper bag. To me it looks like never used.

Dior Karenina, 2008

It´ll get some conditioner later and then will move into my handbag.

Congrats! Beautiful color.

I think there was also a discussion in this thread on the instant pot at some point? I don't own one, but have friends that love them. I do have a crock pot that is languishing in the house somewhere. I might dig it out and see if I can use it to cook some soups. I love hot food, especially now that it's getting colder, and winter is not very far away.

I just received another handbag in the mail. Although I adore this model, I will not settle for undisclosed, unsightly tarnishing and heavy staining. We work hard for our money and what we purchase should be a reflection of that. Do not be afraid to ask for a refund. I’m very disappointed but there will always be something better.

Let’s turn this into a positive by introducing my limited edition Louis Vuitton collection...

Jack + Lucie Halloween 2006

Welcome to this thread, SakuraSakura, and sorry to hear about the bag. That is disappointing. Is it the Marc Jacobs Natasha bag?

Looking forward to seeing your collection!

Your Jack + Lucie bag charm is awesome!

It’s the Percy! The Percy is my favourite crossbody of all time. I have a huge chest but it still fits my body comfortably. I have a lime green one coming in the mail. Let’s hope she isn’t disgusting too...

Ewww, that lining is

The advertisement stated that it was gently worn. It looks like somebody intentionally dumped makeup into the lining and rubbed the nameplate on concrete.

Your Jack + Lucie bag charm is awesome!

Thank you! I have two bag charms. They’re everything. I love them to pieces.
