I've managed 4 bags in December and it's not over yet. I'm proud of myself because since March it's been 95% H Evie or nothing.

H Double Sens maxi (Etain/Black)
H Evie 29 (black ghw)
H Bolide (Rouge H ghw)
Gucci 1955 (Baiadera multi)

I really enjoyed carrying my Gucci velvet 1955, an unexpected pleasure. The flap stays put more easily than I thought (no magnet or flip under the tongue) because the leather grips, and the compartments are really well organised. They knew how to design a woman's handbag in 1955. I thought the shortness of the drop carrying cross-body would bother me but over a slim coat it was fine. If I wore it with, my thick double-breasted Burberry, it would have to go under, same as I wear all X-bodies withMar furs/sheepskins. Anyway, far more practical on an all-day adventure than I thought.

Marvelous!
Your 1955 is such a cool bag, even more so that you're so happy with it!

I'm still in the PS I carried Friday - I carried it Saturday to the wine store and grocery, and stayed in it today because it matches the heels of my shoes! :lol:

No bag, but new to me... I´m so happy with this purchase. It´s "YSL variation"- from the 90ies, I guess- and my very first piece of designer clothing. I´d been watching it on the classifieds for ages, then inquired about it, but the listing was deleted. Last week the seller suddenly contacted me and asked whether I was still interested. Of course I was and without much thinking just bought it. When it arrived I knew it was meant to be mine. It fits perfectly and feels like an old friend.

Germany is going back into strict lockdown... that´s me kissing good-bey to all hopes of getting out of this place, seeing my family, wearing any of my new finery, getting a glimpse of the Christmas shine and sparkle I seem to have been longing for all my life and never got close... a very selfish view of the situation, I know, but all I can come up with atm while feeling disappointed and overwhelmed. My first reaction to the news was impulse buying two pairs of shoes... haha... they might go back once they have arrived. No chance to wear them in the near future except for if I decided to give bed shoes a go...

We finally decided that we won't be celebrating Christmas with the family - we'll deliver gifts, cookies, and food on Christmas Eve. Christmas Day we're going to have a Zoom, and they'll open their gifts from us then. It was a hard decision (and I cried :crybaby:) , but it's only temporary.
Next year will be better.

We aren't going to be doing any get-togethers either. I've been depressed the last couple of days. Our area is the worst in our state, and our state is one of the worst in the country. We have fewer open beds than anywhere else in our state. It seems like such a long wait for the vaccine when we have already waited so long. Staying safe is boring!

I just read that our county only has one freezer that is compatible with the Pfizer vaccine.

One Freezer only?!? Oh dear!

I just looked at the Worldometer site showing the US; we had almost 5,000 cases yesterday.... but ohmygosh - Tennessee had 10,000+! :faint:
(then I saw AZ... )

Being safe is boring, and no one likes it. But hospitals are being overwhelmed and nurses and doctors are getting overwhelmed... yet the mall I drive by on my way home has a packed parking lot. This morning when I filled the car, I saw 2 people go in without masks - in spite of the sign on the door that masks are required. Could we just think for a moment of someone else? GAH... I see a nice glass of bourbon in my future tonight.

I’m torn. I am thinking of a soft Astra satchel with no top handle and chain leather hobo strap....or a tan with orange interior fendi 2jours on eBay... Hmmmm..... I don't think I can do both this month and neither will likely to be available next month. The mud Verona leather will be gone after the end of the month..... and also this particular fendi is 20-30 percent cheaper than other 2jours (in my eBay stalking) that I see on the second hand market that I like as much and thus I predict that it will not last long either at this price level. Hmmmm..... I really would like both! But that just ends up being too much money. Plus I think Massaccesi will have a 20% sale by year's end and right now the promotion is only 10% off. I HATE buying something and then before it EVEN SHIPS becomes cheaper with a sale or a bigger sale and I Feel major discount FOMO. But then again there are a million 2jours out there and I can always find one in the future I like as much, even if it's a couple hundred dollars more.
