Do wet want some new challenges in August?
How about wearing one non-black neutral per week (whatever is a neutral for you)

I love the attention to detail bags from this era have. My fur trimmed bag has a similar strap. When I carry it, I'm always admiring all the little touches that make the bag special, details I feel they don't do as much any more.
Awesome! Will need to see a shot with them on.Just back from work (or should that be 'work'). Still a few sniffles but my eyes have stopped watering. In the lunch hour I went to the dentist.
I wore my Balenciaga Le City and DMs as planned. Archive off-white Liza Bruce tee and archive black wool Martin Mariela jumper. 2021 black wool Burberry Peacoat. Grey denim jeans from Cos (boyfriend meets barrel). I didn't do SL Le Smoking because it was too cold even with a trench on top.
On my way to the dentist, I found a pair a of pristine Tom Ford for Gucci Dragon heels from SS04 in a preloved agency. They are about 0.5 too big for me, but I still wore them to the event this afternoon (with socks). They're 10.5cm (just over 4") - high - but not impossible. Tomorrow I will go hunting for a half-sole + extra gel pads. Iconic shoes £149 for occasional discomfort of the feet and lifetime of pleasure for the eye, dentist £395 for 15 minutes of pain.
Sorry about the blurry pic. I will take a better one tomorrow.

Gorgeous Bags! What did you use to condition them?
Glad it works for you. I use a large artisan basket/ bag in my living room to hide my hand-held weights and exercise bands.
Saphir Creme Universal, leather balm. I’ve used it for several years and I think it does a great job of moisturizing - but a little goes a long way and I’d definitely try it first in an inconspicuous area.
I used BlackRock Leather and Rich on the Howl and Hide bag because it’s a very sturdy leather.
Thanks! I have been using Bick 4 or collinil. I will have to check it out.
Thank you so much.
It is a bit stupid of me to buy shoes I know are too big (OK very stupid). Basically, with this height of heel, I am not going to be walking very far in them anyway. And I've already worn them out once.
I actually have a Liberty purple, metallic-leather makeup bag that would go with them. I need to check current condition.
Yesterday, I bought no-colour conditioner for leather bags and wax-polish for leather boots and shoes from Clarks.
I never spray leather (suede and nubuck, yes)
How many here, clean and condition their own leather-goods regularly?

so i used to do the tissue stuffing with some of my shoes (my feet always fit perfect at first, but keep sliding forward after a couple hours, making the shoes loose in the back).
and then i discovered these generic foam inserts (just search for toe inserts or toe fillers on amazon). they have worked a dream on pointy toed shoes! you can cut them down to size and shape, so I imagine these could work for you too! Best thing is, they’re easy to take in and out whenever you like!
After I use a bag, I look it over before I put it back in the closet and clean or moisturize right away. I like to pull out a bag knowing it is in the best condition it could be in. It makes for easy getting ready in the morning. I also only spray suede or nubuck.
