Fun Friday Question: Which bag(s) in your collection are your favorites? Not necessarily the most functional, but the ones that bring the most joy? No more than 5 (& a possible honorable mention).

My Celine belt bag in burgundy red is my favorite bags of all, brings me the biggest joy as I love how smartly it’s designed and this shade of red is my favorite one. If I would be a bag, I would be my definition this one! Number 2 would be Valextra Iside, I just love how ladylike it is, yet super functional. Number 3 Valextra Triennale… I’ve been eying it for years and now when I finally have it, I just can’t believe my dream came true! I know many people dream Chanel or Hermes, but for me Triennale is the epitome of the ultimate it-bag, despite it not being that famous. Number 4 is Alaia bucket bag, I love its signature laser cut look… and number 5 would be Alaia Cecile bag… it’s super lady-like, I use it rarely, but I love knowing I have it in my collection

@coffee2go I vote for DvF navy polka dot dress with Alaia bucket bag in white and white Sergio Rossi mid-heels



Thank you! That's a great way to carry your laptop!


Loving all the beautiful cats! My two would never forgive me if I didn't share their pics...

The grey and white beauty is Jessie. The handsome mini-panther is Kipling.

So cute, both of them . I have a black one I adore too.

Since spring has finally sprung where I am, thought I’d share this beauty.

Ferragamo Travel tote. No interior pockets, but it has the removable pouch. And the print goes all around the bag including the bottom.

Happy Ferragamo Friday!

Gorgeous!

I love the Celine Belt bag. I am sure it is gorgeous in burgundy.

I am so glad you have your HG…even if it is not a B, K or CF…

Question for everybody- what’s a small or inexpensive thing that really makes you feel good or that you look pulled together?

For me, it is polished nails. I frequently have polished toes, but my fingernails chip so quickly and I had to keep them short and unpolished for work so I stopped bothering to do my hands. My friend let me use her gel polish set yesterday and my nails had grown, so I tried a new, trendy nail shape and painted them. Amazing how chic it makes me feel…I need to do this more often (though with regular polish…)

Love your nails! This is the same for me, I don’t get my nails done as often as I’d like, but it definitely makes me feel more polished and crisp.

The other thing would be a fresh haircut. Or doing a little self-tanner so that I am the same color everyone else is normally (I am SUPER pale).

I can never get self tanner on evenly and without streaking! Kudos if you can! I wouldn’t mind giving my legs some color…I am super pale too.

Oh, and sorry about the double shot…didn’t catch that before I hit post.

Honorable mention: my new Polene Huit!!!! This bag is like the epitome of spring to me.

Another question for the group: which bag in your wardrobe is your most ‘quintessentially’ spring bag?

My Ted Baker bag is the one that most says ‘spring’ to me.

Great question (and your nails look terrific, BTW).

My little luxury is cute socks. I've just found a brand called Mio Marino… they sell them at Nordstrom, and also at their own website. A box of 6 is $24, and free shipping, which seems reasonably-priced to me. This is the color selection I just bought.

Here's Bogart, on my GFG bag, all ready to go on a fascinating trip… to… the grocery store!

He is so debonair and looks great with the GFG.

 

[dcooney4]

WHAT a sweet face!

Thank you! His expression is more like am I in trouble.lol

I love them! Definitely have to check them out!

Edit- I looked and saw these! Happy feet, indeed!

I can’t think of five favorite’s at the moment. I used adore my speedy 30 but I wore it the other day and I am no longer a handheld only girl. It needs a Crossbody strap.

As far as little pleasures I enjoy a good morning coffee with my little dog snuggling next to me .
