[Sparkletastic]

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.

Question for everyone! Tell us about the last time you immediately fell in must have, can’t stop thinking about it love with a bag? What was it? Did you buy it? Why or why not? If you did, was everything you expected? If not are you still on the hunt or have you let it go?

This came to mind as I was working on @Jereni ’s fun capsule challenge. It would be fun to add a bag since I haven’t in almost 2 years. But, nothing has made me swoon since I first saw the silver Microcannage Dior Diorama in 2015 (2014?) I remember thinking I NEEEEEDED that bag but kept trying to talk myself out of it. A year later, I finally bought it during my last trip to Paris and it’s truly my favorite bag. I want to have that same reaction again. But all new models are “yuck” to “meh” to me.

So, share - what was your last heartstopping bag moment.

Thank you! imo no one does color like BV!

Hello ladies!! Just quickly popping in. I see that we’re on Pink week. I have a few and I just couldn’t resist the chance to post.

Sorry these are old photos.

Sorry for being MIA. Just so many things going on with work and rekindled passion for baking.

Love the Gucci and Bottega Veneta. Can I ask what the official colors are?

It's gorgeous!

Lisa Eldridge?
She is good. I also like Hotandflashy - horrible screen name, but she does tutorials for ‘mature‘ women and make up beginners (raises her hand because these apply to me).

That’s her! She does some bolder looks, but most of them are soft and fresh-looking. Natural.

I will post my pink bags later or tomorrow, but wanted to share my successful project of the day!

I added a shelf towards the top of my closet and I’m so happy! My pretties can spread out a little more and my rust BV pouch has a space now.



Now I’m scheming on all kinds of other places to add shelves...

Don't even ask me to select a capsule collection if my handbags, I just cannot do it!

I have only one purple bag, Coach Legacy Garcia satchel in amethyst:

And pinks I have three. First is my Kate Spade Ava. I had this crazy desire for a croc embossed pink bag- don't ask me why, I have no idea! So when I saw this one I had to have it. It's a great date night bag:

My third and final Coach Bleecker Daily bag in pink ruby:

My Coach Madison hobo in neutral pink:

And I have a small kisslock coin Purse in pale pink too:

I like that! I have been bugging my dh to do something like this in our closet because it would house all my bags without having to worry about how they are being stored.

This was a gasp, I have to have it, bag. So frivolous but it's such a cutie.

(Thats what happens after 3 glasses of Champagne. )

Everyone should have one, it makes me happy when I wear it.
Tipsy online purchases are a thing, no judgement here

Closing out Blue week with my blue bag of the week (indulge me as am in my own private Idaho, using the weeks’‘ color showcase as a guide to what color bag to switch into)

“Slate blue” Mulberry Alexa medium in the buffalo leather



I do need to use an organizer to give it structure. I also accept that the flap does get in the way for quickly grabbing things. As you know, the tote is my preferred format for the daily work bag.



So for this coming week, purple and pink...while I could easily go to the Tods pink tote, I think I‘ll go with a purple handbag that is not a tote... more on that in a bit!
