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.

All those lovely orange bags (especially a certain Hermes... @BowieFan1971 ; and butterscotch Nomad @CoachMaven ) last week have me looking for one. Found this lovely color on the Mansur Gavriel website. Asked if they might ever make the Cloud Clutch in this color. The response: "I would stay tuned for our fall winter collection as we tend to release more autumn colors around August and September!"
If this colorway comes out in the Cloud clutch, I'm so getting it!

Um…so… I did. :biggrin:
It should be here next week. I'll post a photo. I found the color I wanted on the "almost perfect" page, and I simply could not pass it up! My gosh, if the price was any lower, they'd be paying me to get the bag!!!

Can’t believe their very cute “almost perfect” circle bags are $48 and $68! If I was in the market.....but my Pico put me on temporary Ban Island until at least my Alma DE sells....for more than the lowball $500 someone tried to offer.:eek::tdown:

Question- because I trust your judgment. I want to wear my scarves year round. I have very short hair, pixie cut. Would it look stupid if I wore a scarf on my head because my hair is short and would not come out at all except a wee bit of bangs? Thinking something like this...worn with a tee and shorts, jeans or a long skirt and ballerina flats or sandals.2679E4FD-EABD-42EB-839E-41622B4AB098.jpeg

Super cute! I have at various points shaved my head entirely or rocked a pixie cut, and I would almost always style with silk scarves in this manner to soften the look. It's really cute (simple and effortless but still gives a real *pow* to your look), and having seen a couple of your pictures, I think you'd look incredibly pretty doing this. :yes:
Just be wary if you use any product in your hair...I do, so I would hand wash the scarves immediately after wear to prevent any product build up on the fabric and/or staining. :smile:

Here's a video for some inspiration on various ways to tie...

Oh, I'm sure I will! My only worry is the strap, which might be too narrow if I put a lot into the bag. But I don't often overload a bag, so it will probably be fine.
I know I could buy a wider fabric strap, but then that begins to feel like the Barbie Doll phenomenon. You know: the little doll wasn't expensive, but then there were her clothes, and her shoes, and her handbags, and her sunglasses, and her little red convertible… :biggrin:

Intrigued by your list of cool, bright reds @Kimbashop . I went on a search for Guerlain #21, but I couldn't find it. Or, at least, I found one called #21, but then it wasn't named Cherry Red. The one I found was in the customizable case.
When you have time, can you send me a link? :flowers:

#21 is the right one! For some reason I found a few sites that have names with the numbers. I think Cuerlain named them at one point but they don’t now. BTW, the lipstick arrived like a present: beautiful box with a bow, sealed tissue and a few extra treats as a gift along with my lipstick and case. I ordered directly from Guerlain. So pricey with the cap (sold separately) but I ordered it for my birthday and it was a perfect splurge.

the color is on the bright side and lighter than it looks on their page. It also looks a bit warm on me when compared to my other cherry red lipsticks.

I don't think it would look stupid at all. I Googled head scarf with pixie cut and the pictures look great!
