Was it the 80's?
Red and black was my fav combo then too.
Red and Black is a great combo! Italian ladies love it too....
My friend in Paris told me that most ladies are dressed in black, wear black shoes and black bags in winter. Very depressing sight.
Unless you are under 35 and wear red lipstick you look 20 years older...

So true.
I have no desire to look older.
Most days I have to remind myself I'm not 25 anymore.
 
Here on the Island we are all 25 forever.:love::love:

One of the best parts of the island!!
Anyone have New Years Eve plans?
The hubbie and I will actually be together for a change.
We are getting some fancy crackers and dips. And maybe some European beer. Then I'll try to stay awake to see the ball drop in Times Square. I miss Dick Clark. Some of the younger performers I haven't even heard of.

Not much of a plan - tomorrow is my mother's birthday. It's going to be a bit depressing, because one of her cousins died all of a sudden (he was 89, but still healthy and fit). The funeral is on the afternoon tomorrow. :( Also her leg is still in pain. New Year's Eve is going to be quiet. With toast and and her favorite punch. ;)

So sorry for your loss, Ludmilla.
89 is quite a life span. I'm sure his stories will be missed.
 
Ladies, I have been bad.
After all the awesome posts of new bags bought on contemplated, I saw this at Dillard's and couldn't resist.
The lovely fall colors go with the new coat I have my eye on and, well, she's just CHEERFUL. View attachment 3559704View attachment 3559705
Love it! We all need at least one or two or three cheerful bag(s) in our wardrobe. :D What material is it? Looks like it is perfect for rainy days. :)
 
Sadly, it is not perfect for rainy days. It's a Patricia Nash like the other I bought earlier in the month.
There really is no comparison to an LC for bag weather.

Nevertheless, it will be perfect for cloudy days without rain. ;)
Hmmm... Cannot get LV canvas out of my head. I am very tempted by their weight and their carefree nature. One day I guess.....

Most of the LV threads are full of ladies panicking over spots on the vachetta or minute fading of the canvas.
I love the light feeling of carrying mine. They hold tons. I see many used as work bags.
They certainly are cheaper in Europe even if they never go on sale.
I love mine even if they don't get the use they should.

My main concern with LV is that everyone and their grandma knows LV. And knows that they are expensive. I am a bit scared about the attention those bags might draw. :hrmm:
