Thanks @Claudia Herzog for the suggestion

I was hoping to find a cotton-based McQueen in some outlandish color... eventually! I want to see how the modal lasts first before I commit to another one. I’d like maybe a red or a green... now the wheels are turning ladies! You know, I’ve definitely been buying into “faking it until you make it.” I’m starting to wear more fitted clothing which feels almost too revealing but it’s good for me. I need to stop hiding the weight I’ve gained - we’re in a pandemic and it is to be expected your weight will change let alone day-to-day interactions! I usually wear lots of denim, black and navy. I think grey and navy are superior to black. Yes, I am looking for a fight.

I was watching the news last night (we very rarely watch, but wanted to see the President's address to the country) and I was struck by how much weight the news commentators had gained over the past year. And if not weight, how much older they looked.

And these are folks who are paid to look fabulous!

This pandemic has been hard on everyone. Don't be too tough on yourself. I've read in many books & blogs that well-cut, fitted clothes are more slimming than baggy ones. So I think you're on the right track.

My pink and purple beauties.

1. Balenciaga First in Eggplant
2. Balenciaga MU (makeup bag) in pearly pink
3. BV Nodini in Amaranto -- a cross between red and pink. In certain lights, it looks more like a dark pink.
4. BV Nodini in Byzantine
5. Massaccesi midi Diva in Byzantine
6. Arayla Hepburn tote in Orchid (with a silver pouch)

Stunning collection. I'm madly in love with your Eggplant Balenciaga First! It's simply glowing. Do you keep it moisturized? (I have a First in Atlantique, and it's great, but it doesn't have a great a completion as yours does, lol.)

What’s everyone’s opinion of quality of Ferragamo bags? Found a black smooth leather, leather lined Boston bag that looks really good, rich leather.

It's so pretty! Congratulations!

I have a couple, got them both pre-loved so they are older, but you wouldn't know it from the leather. It's exceptional! And the craftsmanship is extraordinary! It is great, rich leather! I'd have more of their bags, except for the cost...

Got this one for a song...hope it feels as good as it looks!

I have their smooth leather bags in brown and the quality is great. They are all leather lined. I have not had any scratches on my bags but I am careful with them. Congrats on your purchase!

This is such a pretty bag! It it vintage? I have to say I love lambskin more than caviar (although the caviar leather is very practical).

My pink/purple/violet collection:
View attachment 5020266Pretty much the same as last year. Floral Ted Baker, Coach Rogue in dusty pink, Coach Charlie Bucket in vintage mauve, Gucci Soho Disco in peonia, LV Hyde Park in fuchsia, Coach Tea Rose Rogue in primrose, LV raisin Retiro and miscellaneous SLGs.

It is just such a delight to see all the tones of pink/rose. what is the bucket tote just above the Gucci?

Got this one for a song...hope it feels as good as it looks!View attachment 5020812View attachment 5020814

Ferragamo leather is just so nice. I had (still have) a wallet that I used for years and it’s still in great shape. Nice bag!

Oh BowieFan this discussion your your Italy trip I am traveling vicariously through your planning!

meanwhile back to the dailies...Here is my purple bag for the week. To be honest, I don’t love this bag. It’s nice, spacious, and functional, but it just doesn’t make me swoon like my purple Lady Dior, which I will swap into later this week. I can’t explain why. Is it because it‘s caviar? Is it just a blah style? maybe it’s because it doesn’t service my daily work needs so it’s more of a going out bag..but then it’s not fancy enough? help me find the love

Two more: Chanel Business Affinity in pink: I am not able to capture the true color of this bag in this photo -- the color in real life is much prettier than the photo.
Burberry Camberley in pink orchid (if I recall correctly). Have been thinking of letting this one go as I haven't used it much, but the color is pretty -- it has a mauve/lilac tint to it and it's nice for spring and also other seasons.

Great pink bags P&P! I especially like your Diorama and your Chanel.

I've been looking forward to pink week, it's my favourite colour! All of these bags are Versace, apart from the studded one which is from the Versace X h&m collab. And a bonus picture of the last time I got to go to an art exhibition carrying my favourite little bag, the Medusa Palazzo clutch.

The leather looks fabulous Jen!

Well, I gave it a good run this week (and am so looking forward to switching it out). Yeah, I had to put my files into side pocket upright and it looked kinda bad. Oh well. It’s just not ideal for my work..but again, it would be perfect for an office. I’ll carry it through the weekend as I doubt I’ll reach for it anytime soon..(poor bag) What color for next week?

Hi ladies! I used to post in this thread a lot in previous years, but have gotten away from following/buying handbags and this forum. My bank account is thankful for that, I must say, lol. I see some familiar faces here and a lot of new faces. It's nice to see all of you. With the pandemic, I've been working from home and not going much of anywhere, so I haven't hardly been using my bags. I think I've been in my Coach E/W swingpack for more than a year. But I did order a bag from Jax the other night, the first one I've bought in who knows how long! I got the denim Pennie shoulder bag from the Coach outlet. It will probably still sit because lockdown, but still fun to get a new bag. I'll post a pic when I get it next week. I hope you all are doing well.

Hi paculina, welcome back - nice to see you!
