Happy Saturday!
After days with frost and rain we are enjoying a warm sunny spring day, today. I do foresee migraine later.
Nevertheless, I did some grocer shopping with dark green MM Charlotte and I plan a walk with the Chloe Saddlebag.

Chloe definitely needs a spin. She has a dent from lying around and I have not used her for literally months now.
A shame your gorgeous Chloé had been sleeping for a long time, Ludmilla…:sad:
As for the dent and colour transfer, you’re right, it’s nothing really.:yes:
 
Happy Thursday, all!
The first 4 months of the year are almost done and so far I have not bought any bags. I am kind of proud of myself.
Not really on ban island, but not buying bags can be fun, too. :)
Hope you all had a nice week so far. Mine was/is a bit chaotic, but I live.
Still in my „Bays“, but there is a change for tomorrow and hopefully a pic. :)

I agree with you, Ludmilla.
Not buying bags can be fun.
We all have too many bags and before buying a new one we should ask ourselves « don‘t I already have something similar? »
We often do….don’t we?
Same with clothes.
Yesterday I saw a lovely North Face jacket and realized ( at the last minute) that I have something very similar in my closet : a SuperDry wind breaker…
I left the store empty handed, feeling very proud of myself….

Ha! I know exactly that feeling. :)
I think my good roll on not buying bags is due to the fact that I am really trying to use the neglected ones a lot this year. it‘s a bit like using new ones. :D

Exactly, Ludmilla!
I also think that times are changing.
Store owners are devastated, they are asking themselves where people spend their money on these days.
A young lady I know told me she just bought and sold a few clothes on Vinted… If she has some money left…she prefers to spend it at the nail salon…and she said she had better make an appointment one week in advance because the salon is always full….

Tbh with all the inflation going on I am spending most of my money on food and electricity. :D
 
Happy Friday, fellow Islanders! :wave:

I see I have a lot of catching up to do, so without further ado….

Happy Friday!
As promised pic of the bag I am wearing today.

Have not worn my Cuir in 2022 and only once in 2021. So, it is going to be my train bag for a while.

Love love this bag almost as much as your indomitable attitude, Ludmilla! :tup:

Kudos to you as well, Mariapia, for your insight and observations concerning the current economic climate… :ok:

Excellent posts all, ladies! :dothewave:

And ones that inspired me to tweak my Divina Firenze so I’ll be more likely to wear her more often in the future. :idea:

Congratulations on both bags! Those two beauties deserve to see the light of day, Fim and Ludmilla. :dothewave:

Thank you, Fim.
It was fun using that bag after a long hiatus again. Roomy and lightweight. :)
Tbh. after checking my bag list yesterday, I can confidently say that I will not run out of neglected bags any time soon.

Love your bag, too. Perfect brown.
The cuir is such an awesome bag!
Thank you! :hbeat:
