NOVEMBER ACTIVITIES

1. Bags by Brand Showcase!

Each week, share photos of your bags from the specified brands. Choose a posed “beauty” shot or get your bags out and about in action shots!

We highlight 3 brands per week: 2 premier and 1 contemporary in alphabetical order as listed on tPF. Any brands not listed are showcased in our last week. Brands change to the next set each Sunday.

Our first brand week starts now - Sunday, Oct 31. Please share photos of bags from these brands:
  • Bottega Venetta
  • Burberry
  • Alexander Wang

Tip: Grab your photos from last year in the 2020 resolution thread. Search your user name and the brand to find your photos.

2. Special Stories
Thanks @Claudia Herzog for the suggestion

Wear a bag that has a backstory involving a person, place, or opportunity for which you feel grateful.

EXCELLENT advice!

Well - it was a bit of an accident. I thought it was the medium based on the measurements, but it was a happy accident because I’m thrilled with it. I had been concerned about the zipper, but because it’s the large - it’s not an issue!

Wonderful - the leather is sooooo soft. ❤️
The size is great, not too big, not too small. Because I’m tall, it’s even better!

GAH - so beautiful!
And you already know I love your Dalvy! ❤️❤️❤️

We totally GET IT!
Which watch are you looking at - fellow watch lover here - and what cw of Kawa Ora are you considering?
(Im sorry you’ve been swamped!)

Love these pics of you with your new picotin ! If I might suggest for your next bag, a dark rich midnight blue or indigo or rich velvety forest green or deep prune/plum/Bordeaux/raisin might be a nice addition .... trims are well priced, particularly 35 trim IIs, and I think they hold as much and are more polished than, say, an Evelyn :biggrin:

I have a nice navy bag, but was giving some thought to a rich teal. Plum has been a thought too.

IMO, Sell bc you felt underwhelmed from the beginning if you can get a great price (that should be doable bc the mini is in high demand). A fantastic price can go along way to reducing sellers remorse. The in,y time when I keep a bag I’m feeling underwhelmed about is when it’s a placeholder that prevents me from spending more money on a replacement that I don’t know if I want or need. . .
ITA with @missie1, re manolo heels. Choo never really worked for me, but then I had ankle cartilage replacement surgery and stopped wearing most heels
@Cookiefiend, congrats on your large lady dior. She’s gorgeous!
@BowieFan1971, I loved the wonderful liner you made for your picotin. I would have picked option one or the final orange one laid out next to the bag if you hadn’t decided to sho0 your closet. I’ve had some neutral results with H spa, mainly bc it takes a long time and sometimes I cannot really see any improvement. I have also had great results with large bag renovations with H spa like kelly sanglier replacement and handle replacement. But, I haven’t done H spa in a while. For a number of years, I’ve consulted @docride and or sent bags to her for spa. So, I totally understand why you want to start off with H spa.
Congrats @SouthernPurseGal re your new home! It’s beautiful!
@Sparkletastic, it made me so happy to think of you and your sorority sisters dressing up with pearls and colorful bags! So much fun!
@Kimbashop,you are so lucky to have such a great social bubble! It sounds fun ans delicious!
@dcooney4, I’m glad the small company made the backpack issue right.
@JenJBS, I love your pics of southern Utah!
@ElainePG, did you get a Portland leather bag? Ho0e you are feeling better!
@whateve, I was eligible for the vaccine due to severe asthma. I got the first Pfizer one and felt some mild soreness and fatigue (IMO the shingles vaccine was worse, but people say that the second covid vaccine can have more adverse reactions or side effects than the first one) Hope you are okay!
am still reading and catch8ng up, but I’ll update this post soon with the green bag week!

I got the pfizer vaccine, the first dose I experienced soreness (mild) and fatigue but the second dose, I had a lot more side effects.

My Brandon Blackwood Bianca duffle bag arrived! :love: Love the color! Quality is as expected for the price point. The nylon is seriously light weight! So much lighter than my leather bags! This will be a fun grab and go purse. I really love the size! Came with a dust bag. Came with twp straps. The shorter one is fir hand carry. The longer works crossbody for me at 4'11", but anyone much taller, it would be shoulder carry.

Oh, I love this thread, too! It´s become such a cozy, safe environment to me and has pulled me out of black holes so many times. It´s great being here!

+1 on the need to buy something... during the last few days I´ve dived into ebay and against all good resolutions bought silly stuff I don´t really need just because I needed it... let the mail come in... there´ll be some vintage dresses to rehab and alter and (oops....) two vintage bags, too. And leather dye I have not used before to try out on said vintage bags.

+2 on feeling the need to buy something! I've been hanging out on the Tiffany & Co website looking at the 'smile' collection. Not sure if this is something I really need, or just a phase. My usual style leans more classic, not whimsical. Anyone have something from this collection?

I just received my 2nd dose of the Moderna on Wednesday and it took me down. I had soreness and mild ickiness from the 1st dose, this one was significantly worse. I told my coworkers I better have super antibodies after this!
