2020 resolution - shopping my own bag and wallet collection. Any one else?

[papertiger]

you know funny you mentioned that, as it was one of my concerns as well, it was part of the reason why I decided to rent it, to try it out for a month, and see if it was worth purchasing, but after using it, I found that it didn't bother me, and the bag was so practical and convenient! then as I went to contact a personal shopper to get one at FSH boutique, the boutique closed due to Covid.

Odd to say on this thread, but I hope you bag one soon, I couldn't live without mine.

I would love to have a vintage nutcracker. Most of the ones you can get here are the cheap ones, but I still love them too!

Hermes make an interesting nut cracker (but very Modern)

I love everyone's holiday tree pics! We have been decorating since Thanksgiving in my house.
Here is our tree. Each year, we visit a local tree farm and cut down our tree. It's been a wonderful tradition.
And, for the 5 bags in 1 month challenge, I have worn 2 so far (posted below). The Massaccesi Soulmate has quickly risen to the top of my fave bags. It's lovely and easy to carry, and holds a lot while looking stylish. The second bag is an early Christmas present to myself: Givenchy small Antigona soft. I took advantage of an amazing black Friday sale where I got the bag for nearly half off. It's a wonderful bag, versatile and has also become a favorite rather quickly.

Congrats on both bags - and that beautiful tree

This is true! Unless you decide you need a cupholder, and want this outrageous Birkin with pockets and cupholder. I thought this was a joke when I first saw it. View attachment 4923526

It looks like a Birking that's going hunting LOL

December challenge - bag 2

Voilà, December bag number two and a breach of the rules of this topic as I just bought it instead of keeping away from the the vile internet and all the tempting offers and moisturize the bags I already have...

Dior St. Germain bag from 2006

It arrived today and did not disappoint at all.
Great leather, addictive Dior smell. The only "faults" it has are slightly rubbed lower corners, only the colour, not the leather itself. Off to moisturize it...

Have a lovely day everyone!

Looks like glove leather, so rich and fabulous

I received a bag today that I'm sort of torn about in both form and function. I love this shade of navy but the contrasting bright blue will limit it's suitability for many outfits..I put this one together with all navy pieces with a fun RGB slogan, "not fragile like a flower, fragile like a bomb." I think it works with this ensemble but it's not going to be easy to pair this bag with my wardrobe but perhaps in summer much easier with dark denim shorts and a solid top. ‍♀️

You do look stunning and I’m sorry to hear all your difficulties. I’ve just got down to 55kg at 5”3 after losing loads and I’m thinking 45kg is too light for me. Haven’t been that since I was at university and was too skinny.

Hopefully you can take some time to recover your strength!

Your weight sounds ideal. A lot depends on your frame and where you carry the weight. As we get older, I think we look better with a little more weight. Our faces don't look as gaunt.

I think it is very pretty. Two tone bags are always limiting, but sometimes they are just so pretty that you make them work.

It looks soft and squishy and gorgeous. You've got me wanting to get a vintage Dior so I can smell it. I wonder if it smells anything like vintage Coach.

I took the day off looking at screens yesterday and spent the day with a friend out walking, and today I had a call with an eye specialist who's given me exercises to do 'till Friday when I see him IRL.

Couple of days late but some pics from Saturday. The Gucci Leonardo-print tin is full of traditional Italian biscuits, and I haven't opened the other yet, but they're both presents from my SA and SM. I'm glad I wore my new Gucci things to go in, there must be a satisfaction of seeing clients wearing their things and not just buying.

Champers at Hermes where I returned my Calvi MM. Hope I'll be able to swap for a CSGM at the weekend, but waiting for the word on a transfer. Once the credit note is spent, I'll order a custom Calvi (or 2). One for cards and one for business cards. No more Calvi MMs or GMs unless they do them in Swift (or another fab leather).

Looking fabulous PT! Wonderful looking treats, too.

Yay, I love your Muse! I used to have one in white years ago. Yours looks cool, is it bi-colour? I like your jacket, too!

Your new bag looks great on you. I love the RBG slogan, "not fragile like a flower, fragile like a bomb."

Yes, it is two-tone. Brown and black. That aspect is growing on me. I specifically bought it to sell, but I think I am going to keep it. It is just not moving and is too nice of a bag to give away. Just wish it was a little smaller.
The cardi is one of my faves!
