What a fabulous find, Mariapia!
Love love the color for summer!
I must have worn it three or four times only, Fim.
I found it too small at the time..

But as we all know, times change, Mariapia.I must have worn it three or four times only, Fim.

Some of my bags I‘d considered too small while I was working (and my wonky shoulder had yet to be an issue) are perfect for me now.
Happy Saturday! Miss 15 will be miss 16 on Monday but we are celebrating today. She didn’t want a party so it’s just close family. When I asked her what she wanted for dinner ? Pizza. Since we live in the best area for pizza I think it’s a wise choice lol! Besides it’s her birthday, her choice. 
As much as I am a bag whore Miss 15/16 is a sneaker head. She has so many pairs my head spins, so we are expecting her next new pair or limited edition Jordan’s any day now!

Happy Sunday, fellow Islanders! 
When a bag works for me, it just works.
First it has to be leather, accommodate all my essentials, and not aggravate my wonky shoulder.
Style is also important, as long as it allows easy access while keeping my things secure.
Happily, the vast majority of my bags “check all the boxes.”
Chiefly among them are my vintage Botkier Crosstown Satchels.
From pale gray…
To darker gray….
To the one Mariapia (who knows me too well) knew I wouldn’t be able to resist….

Thank you, Tomsmom!
There is absolutely nothing I don’t love about these bags.
The leather has just enough smoosh without sacrificing structure.
Under the flap is a full length zipper closure along with a large easy access front pocket.
Of course, Fim, I knew you were about to get your new Botkier…Happy Sunday, fellow Islanders!

Congratulations. It’s gorgeous!
Glad you approve, Mariapia.Of course, Fim, I knew you were about to get your new Botkier…
Congratulations. It’s gorgeous!
I wasn’t sure about the color blocking aspect, but knew how quickly these vintage Botkier Crosstowns get snapped up and knew I’d regret missing out on it.
Happy Sunday all!
And a very happy birthday to Miss 16 and congrats on new bags.
