I am totally going to admire the winter weather from inside. Not going anywhere today. It's easy to do so - it's another Christmas holiday in my area and everything is closed down.

I didn't know the Feast of the Epiphany was still a thing. Only strict Catholics still do that one here.
I am bundling up and meeting a friend for lunch today. First time I've left the house in 3 days. Looking forward to it!

I REALLY like the H Dogon! At least from the outside. I like that little round silver doodad on the outside. Is it very heavy?
Love the idea of a red wallet. My new wallet (an upgrade... it was a birthday present this year) is China Red, from Bottega Veneta.
Just seeing it every time I open my handbag makes me happy.

Your red wallet is gorgeous!:love:
In time for Year of the Rooster, approaching soon. Good luck to wear red.

Dogon is large. Fits my phone.
Could use as clutch easily.
If loaded, might become heavy, especially model with separate coin purse inside.
Being reasonable with contents = fine.
Is smooshy in togo, less structured. Could be interesting.
Hehehe. I wondered if you were visiting bag stores. ;)
You re-stocked ob Collonil? This is very important in those cold days. :smile:
So you like LC? I was always a handbag girl - even before I knew about designers and brands. Years ago the Pliage was (thanks to Kate Middleton and stylish law students on Heidelberg streets) my first designer/brand crush even though I did not knew it was designer/brand. I had to get one. Over the years got distracted by other brands, but I am falling back in love with Longchamp. I like the simple elegance of their classic styles. :hbeat:
They kept all the great elements mulberry tossed away. In favor of its new mk-on-bad-drugs designs.:frown:
I love BV SLGs. I have a pink cosmetic pouch.
A fave of mine, that pouch of yours.:loveeyes:
My wallet got lost - I thought it was stolen but a very nice person sent it back to me, so I just lost it in the train...- and I had to buy a new one. Was very torn between a Longchamp wallet and another one (interim till I can harves my money tree and buy the one I actually always wanted to have). The SA told me not to pick the Longchamp wallet as the zipper on the wallets tends to break quite soon. Perhaps that helps in your decision?
Yes, that helps a lot. Thank you.
Hmm.
Maybe we should look at bag charms, instead. There are so many that it would take us weeks to find the right one.. which would keep us away from bags for 5 or 6 ..... weeks.:angel:
:whistle: I may have stopped by coach store.
Hunting dinosaur charms.
More rare than actual dino fossils. None found.:frown:

View attachment 3566622 Here is a pic of the charm I talked about in my previous post.

I LOVE the bag. Reminds me of the pattern Goyard tells their pattern is based on. (makes that sense...?)
I try to stay away from fur which is kind of hipocrite as I wear leahter, so;) no Fendi for me. Never tried to get my hands on a Rodeo. Shall I go and ask for you? I am still thinkling about buying a flight ticket to get into the security area at the airport. There would be an Hermes store..

Staying inside too after I had my typical everyday 2 hours walk the dog -walk. I froze. The dog wasn't impressed by the cold. Next time I'll choose another breed, I swear. I am more into warm days, sunshine, ... . This is what I've been choosing to have as "my" breed for over 20 years now... well... Sometimes you SHOULD judge a book by its cover.:
Aww! What a cutie! Spitze are so pretty. Their fur calls for constant cuddling. :loveeyes:
I can relate, Ludmilla...

Unfortunately, the most beautiful ones cost as much as a bag..:confused1::confused1:
Oh - bag charms. It is very difficult to find the right charm for the right bag. At least for me...
You've been looking for a Rodeo charm? I did not know that they are so hard to get. :wtf:

Hehehe. There are some very positive aspects about living in a mainly catholic area. :drinks:

Thank you gor the pouch love. Haven't used it for a while now in favor of lighterweight fabric pouches.

No dinosaur charms? Well, that's a bummer. :tdown:

Thank you! Yes and they are selfcleaning;) And always in the mood for a good joke, that complements my personality. Together we are childish as hell

Yes the rodeos are highly sought after and you'll see them for ridicolouse prices on ebay. I once overheard a SA at Hermès snapping to an incoming customer who (obviously) asked for something: "No Birkins, No Kellies, No Constance and CERTAINLY NO RODEOS!" I felt for the customer she was such a pretty lady wearing a so beautifull grey Jypsiere. Since then I want a grey bag. Obviously no Jypsiere due to no moneytree:sad:
I don't get the Rodeohype tbh. But I am constantly thinking about one of these bag charms of Luxeleathercrafts . These are REALLY pretty and won't cost a furtune.

How are your new beauties doing @Mariapia and @Ludmilla ? Better don't force them to leave the house, I just came back from the evening walk and it had incredible minus 18 degrees ^C / -0,4 °F). MINUS 18!

@remainsilly : how bad :sad: I wanted to get one too once these hit the stores in Europe but I guess there won't be any left.
@Murphy47 : how was the lunch and the basement cleaning?

I for myself could do what I planned to do: creating my own calender. Most calenders are too small for me, so I grabbed one of these artsy books and wrote day, dd/mm on each page. Inserted a few drawings of my dog and my daughter by using Osmo. Do you know that? I LOVE it, love it love LOVE it. Everytime I present it in my classes, everybody gets mad about it. ....that and pokèmon go (for real).
