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.

Love that Papillon!

SO ADORABLE!!!

Because I do not have a bear, I will share a cat instead.

Thank you, sorry you are feeling low also. I also have some sleep aids, and they worked wellast night so that’s good.



Gorgeous!

I love the name Mulberry! Here is my Jett and my beloved Telly who passed away about 7 years ago at the age of 13. As you can see, tabbies are my favorites!

Great choice for work, love the neutral shade and sophisticated style. Good luck! Do you start next week?

I had to take my laptop yesterday and ran home with it on my back - no briefcase or leather bag but a specialist running pack. It fitted perfectly in the water system pouch at the back behind the main compartment which was a useful discovery (no need for hydration for a 30-40 minute run in mild weather).

Glad you had a better sleep last night. Your cat is so cute. I’m like you, no bears but two tabbies that look just like your beautiful tiger (plus dog and teenagers - it’s a mad house!).

I wanted to call the fluffy one Mulberry but the family ruled it out. I think it’s a great name for a cat!

Wea re like a tiger club, I have mini-tiger too.

I’m going to my friends’ wedding this weekend, the venue is a beautiful ex-church, followed by Italian countryside villa’s garden. I’m still debating what to wear:
- DvF navy polka dot dress with Alaia bucket bag in white and white Sergio Rossi mid-heels
- Sportmax navy dress styled with a necklace, Alaia Cecile bag in nude pink and Stuart Weitzman nudist sandals in matching color
- DvF black dress with red print, Chloe C red mini bag in croco or Fendi black woc and SJP collection black heels

Which you think would be more appropriate? My favorite options are DvF blue polka dot dress with white accessories or DvF black dress with red print that I can layer with red jacket for the evening

You look beautiful in all the outfits but I like the first best wedding. Reading through, you've probably already been by now. I hope you had a wonderful time.

I find it very mysterious how much less energy we all have now.

I know! How did days get so long?

And where did the last 2 years go. Sometime it feels like 2 minutes and sometimes 200 years.

This is the story of Seeping beauty.

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!

Wow, that is stunning and so so pretty.

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!
Keeping my eyebrows waxed/groomed is my inexpensive luxury that helps me feel pulled together.

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).

This is ridiculously hard. I think my:
1. Gucci So-black 1947 BTH (is is representing the BTH team)
2. Gucci croc Aviatrix (this represents all my exotics)
3. Hermes Bambou Plume (this represents all my green bags)
4. H BBK Sellier (even though I hardly wear)
5. Sac Mallette (got to get a real vintage piece in)

Ridiculous - I didn't even get in a H Bolide

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

My most spring bag is this Fossil. I think it is the color that makes me think of flowers.

My five favorite bags are
1. Coach curb chain whiplash Dakotah in black. I've had it since 2015 and love it as much now as when I got it, and my first choice is never black.
2. Coach Cashin Carry tote 22 in cerise. I got this one last year and it was instant love.
Both of these bags have perfect organization and are just the right size.
3. Balenciaga Day in aquamarine. The color and the chevre leather are TDF. I've had it for about 2 years.
4. Bottega Veneta cervo tote in anemone. The cervo leather is fantastic and it is a great size when you need to carry a lot. I've had it for 3 years.
5. Henri Bendel No. 7 quilted camera bag. It's small so I don't use it much but it is the perfect going out bag and I love that it is unique.

There are other bags I own that I love. These are just the 5 that came to mind this time. I've done this exercise many times. My first choice on this list has made every list of top five since I got it.
