Happy Valentines Day!

I’ve been stalking various websites just looking! I then popped into LV yesterday just looking too. I was just thinking what I might get later in the year.

Was very tempted by the Neverfull with a red or pink lining. It’s really not my usual style as an open tote or in canvas but I was thinking it’s so different that it’s good. It the end it was no problem to walk away despite a lovely SA and shopping experience in store. Perhaps that confirms it isn’t me after all.

Then I noticed the Mulberry Bayswater Tote which is similar to the Neverfull but in gorgeous leather. There is a lovely blue one in the sale. Very tempted especially as Mr K says to go for it for Valentines. I think it would get a lot of wears for work or casual.

It’s not shopping my own collection and it’s only February so I’m pausing to think about it.

Good for you on the “pause!”
Well I’m a neverfull fan..if you are a tote person, it is awesome.
I’ve always wanted the Bayswater...did you take a photo?

Lots of people love the Neverfull. It was light and I liked the shape, especially the ability to pull in the sides. I think I’m just not a big pattern person so I couldn’t quite get my head around it.

The Mulberry shop didn’t have the colour I like in stock so I’ve only seen it online. I did look at other colours which were full price so I know I like the style.

I’m very tempted as I don’t have any open totes like this that could be work and casual. Just wondering how many bags I really can have in my collection before it becomes excessive. Still pausing for now...
 
I think this is just right for running around! Let the DH carry the baby bag:biggrin:
P.s. I think the exterior pocket is quite useful..pickpockets be darned.
P.p.s. Congrats on losing 50 of the 60 baby lbs! Intermittent fasting..the 16/8?
I haven’t used the exterior pockets yet other than for parking passes, but they have been very useful for that purpose. Thank you and yes! I eat from 9:30a-5:30p, which I would say is quite normal hours. I am a big eater and wake up early so usually I’m eating from 6a-7:30p or so. It’s been great so far! And I eat little bits of food outside the timeframe as needed, since I’m still breastfeeding. I mostly let my body tell me what it needs.
Today’s bag is the only one I have that has a bit of red on it. Happy Valentines Day everyone!
I love that beautiful watercolor-esque flower!
She looks fantastic!
Thank you!!

Good for you for taking a pause!! I was eyeing the Onthego MM but took a pause and now I don’t think I’ll get it. I do think these are usable and useful bags though!
 
Finally the time has come. We´ll be off to Paris for a short visit tomorrow. I´ve changed into my Tom Ford for YSL bag from about 2001.
It´s big and I certainly filled it up...
The strap can be adjusted from shoulder bag length (as shown in the picture) to hand handle length and I will be using a simple black wide nylon strap on it to carry it crossbody for the actual travelling.

Back from Paris... the lovely time already feels like a dream. My bag survived the trip quite well, but of course got its first scratches and signs of wear. And it proved to be heavy...sigh!
I simply tend to carry around too much.

A bag spill might be called for, but my mess won´t be as cute as the lovely luxury items you all are showing. Will do it tomorrow and then decide whether I´m ashamed or not...
