You must have been the most chic person at the stadium!Thanks more_bags! it is the 32. Very roomy. I used her to carry my blanket to stadiums when we were not limited to clear bags. I felt so chic. Now I have to carry a poly-propylene backpack. Just not the same.
Pen is the same Dupont fountain pen. I’m thinking that I can rotate my pens weekly..since I’m actively using them, they won’t dry out. Yes I will do that ..new pen showing up soon
Speaking of wallets...it just dawned on me (duh) during the week since I’m carrying my big tote, I should carry my big wallet so that they can see the light of day. ok that will be the change up for next week!
Soooo....this has been the most inspiring thread! This year, finally, I’m getting with the program and starting to put all my stuff to use
(Otherwise, when I kick it, buyers at my estate sale will think I had a store with all this unused stuff)
2020 resolution - shopping my own bag and wallet collection. Any one else?

How sweet to be young and in love! Where is Castello di Amorosa? Castle of Love Roses? This is in Napa? I need to get out more! Your mini Lou is so nice! It has card slots? How clever.. like a woc but larger? I am loving all the bag spills! Are the Dior lip glosses sticky?
seriously 
Congratulations on your anniversary! Great pics and a cute Mini Lou - it looks fantastic on you!
Thank you 100 times over for this review of the Prada wallet, especially the tip about putting jewelry in the coin compartment!
I had a Prada wallet (I think the same design as yours, but in black nylon) for an embarrassingly long time, until it finally just got too shabby. Besides… black… and I wanted something happier. China Red, and thus my BV French Flap, also small, also unfolded bills, but a ZIPPED coin compartment, and therefore I never use it. I have a separate coin purse.
Now I'm going to head over to the Prada site to look at their small wallets. I don't need one. But I'm thinking… maybe… cobalt blue???
Isn't it funny how difficult it is to use a zipped coin compartment? From a manufacturing perspective, it would seem easier to make a flap and a button closure. I really wonder if the designers are women..are they aware of the user experience? (Didn’t I bore you all with my Ford Motors musings..or was that another thread
)
Castello di Amorosa is not in Napa proper, but I believe it is in Napa County - the actual city is Calistoga. It was a really beautiful space - if I remember correctly, a Tuscan inspired medieval castle reminiscent of Italian wine country. We didn't get a tour of the castle but I'd love to do that my next trip back!
The Mini Lou falls into the camera bag category, and in YSL's collection it is the mini version. There are three card slots in the interior which are quite roomy - I was able to fit one card each in the bottom two and one card + hotel key card in its paper sleeve in the top one. There are no other pockets aside from an exterior slip pocket, which works fine to hold a phone in a pinch or as a quick place to stash a receipt or tickets. (I actually used it to hold a tiny microfiber cloth that I folded up.)
This is a quick photo I took while we were out - you can see the card slots on the bottom.
This Dior lip gloss is a little bit sticky, but it's not as bad as others I've used and I quite like the moisturizing and the slight tint it provides. It's perfect to use over something like the Sugar lip balm pictured next to it, or over my Supergoop lip balm which has SPF in it (a must on a sunny day like today!).
What are those awesome flowers? Mmmm yummy bags. Oh yes, it’s time to showcase our colors! Cant wait to see your SLGs!
Thank you!! I will post an interior picture tomorrow! I’m actually right in the middle of winter where I live! I haven’t been to the beach in years, it feels like. Sad!You are so elegant! I don't think you ever showed us the interiorare you at the beach?
I love your bag spill and your trip sounds dreamy! I’m actually thinking of planning a first vacation in a long while with my husband and daughter and we want to go to San Fran and Napa. I’d love to PM you to get recommendations!
Thank you! I’m loving certain bags for ease of use these days!
My red and burgundy bags,
2017
2018
2019
I feel I have good coverage for my red and burgundy bags, a tote, a hand held, a shoulder bag and a small bag/WOC. I especially like the versatility of the Coco Handle, Reissue and WOC in that I can carry them multiple ways - shoulder carry (single strap or double strap Reissue and WOC), crossbody, by the handle (Coco Handle) or as a clutch (WOC).

I just took a closer look at your photo..the ground looks like sand and I thought that was a big rock on the beach. Upon closer inspection, I realize the ground is concrete and that rock is a mound of snow. Oops
