Thank you. :smile:
Yes, looking at her cheered me up immensely. She has the perfect size as an everyday bag for me. Going to the LC boutique on Thursday. I am up to no good. There is a Foulonné shopper for men that is bigger than mine and is (hopefully) about the same size like my Pliage. :p
What colour is the Foulonné shopper for men?
 
Good morning ladies!
It is still very cold her: but a warming trend of 29F. Lol
Basement is all clean and everything is stacked nicely. Garage also.
Today I am back to my own tasks. A little tired, but it feels great to start the new year organized.
Ludmilla, that coat looks amazing. Warm also. If we lived closer, I would have lots of alterations for your sister. The Cuir is a perfect match. Glad you added to the brown rainbow!
Mariapia, the color on the MCQ is just awesome!! So cheery. Makes me wish for spring. I agree about the static problem. Even though I currently growing my hair out, when I take off my outerwear I get the "Nanny McFee" hair. Ugh.
Remainsilly, glad you found a wallet. Can't wait for reveal. How's Lugnut? Are you keeping him?
Millivanilli,what are ice cups and can I get them here?

Wooow great Murphy! These Ice cups, I bet you have them but under another name? It's chocolate that melts immidiatly and give a cool feeling in the mouth? Can't describe it better. Over here they look like that:

Thank you so much. This is really interesting. My coworkers do research on digitalisation in school and they also do "iPad classes". I am definitely going to ask them about osmo. :smile:
Your work sounds very interesting, too. Hehehe. Don't we all work on bridges in one way or the other?

*singing* laaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiik a brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrritschhhh ovaaaaa traaaabllllddddddddd wooootaaaaaa :love:

Yay on getting so much tasks done. I put away some of the Christmas decorations. :frown:
And now I am doing something healthy for my body :giggle::

yummi, and healthy! Wish we had those hot chocolate over here. Ours look like the depresses distressed versions of yours:

Same here, Ludmilla. I have a few charms that I can't attach to any of my bags.
Got to buy new ones... Bags not charms...:giggle:

I like how you think.


Amazingly I like the Gucci the most. What does the year of the rooster bring with it? Is there anything special?

Loving my new Zara patch bag and matching slip ons. Very lucky find! They must have had some extras left over from spring that they put on display for the current sale.

That's a great match!



Tragic, is the right word, Ludmilla!
I mean, both of us have bought lovely bags in the last months.. and it's not enough .:-s
And the sales have not even started ..:sad:
As the weather was getting colder, I looked at some trendy down coats ( Moncler, Nobis etc).
They are around €1000.
And I calculated how much I had recently spent on bags ( excluding my Chanel....:angel:)....
How come I think a €1000 coat would be a crazy buy when I am ready to spend that amount on 3 bags and still want a 4th one?:nuts::nuts:

Hahahaaa I never thought I would meet a person sharing my logic. Everytime I see something expensive I normally would like I think " why shoudl I buy it if I can have a Hermès bag just for 7 of them?!".

Wow.
I am brushing up on my high school French and coming to visit.
Wow.

Please take me with you? I'll stand behind you and giggle like a teenager while going through the dictonary and pointing out what you should tell him from me. Will contain: uhlalalaa and ohhhhhh.

It is. Just like lady harp-players are all beautiful, with long blonde hair. :amuse:

Yes, it's amazing!

Back at the office with my new bag... I am tired now. :sad:

I love it. Really. Thinking about if I could would... ;)

After watching Sherlock, episode 1/season 4--& thinking WTF?!?!--pleased to find episode 2 was BRILLIANT!!!!:yahoo:
Go, crazy masterminds, go!

I am so waiting for it. How's your dog today?

[


They are waiting for bad weather to clear.
And eating "healthy" snacks. On urban rooftops.
Lazy things.

Adorable!
Yes, ugly jack is tricky & sneaky.:giggle:
He chatters to me about wallets & roosters, currently.

Ugly jack whispers to me about sale coats.
Omg, I love coats & jackets. And blankets. Everything puffy warm, really.:blush:

My ugly jack talked about the pannacotta in the fridge today. Now it's gone.
 
Dear all,
I hope all of you had and have a wonderfull day. I for myself was busy with doing things that keep me distracted from doing things I am supposed to do. Now I am tired from procrastination. It's exhausting to flee from things you are supposed to do but don't want to do.

Had an offer to teach 3 hours drive away. Was seriously debatting doing it, but classes would start at 08 o'clock so I tried to change the time to half past 8. Didn't work. I'm not unhappy about that, as at least I am not the one who declined ;) HA!

Ate 3 (in words three) of those mean Italian Panacotta al caramelo deserts I got at the Italian supermarket (@Ludmilla do you know them?) in Munich.

Was thinking about sports and decided that that was exhausting enough. Paid my daughter for walking the dog. Now both of them are tired- for 2 Euros.
All in all a success.

:love: to all!

A three hour drive to be at work ar 8, or even 8.30 is insane, millivanilli!
You would have had to get up at 4 ! :nuts: Which implies going to bed at 8 or 9 pm max...
And then there is the three hour drive back....
Unless you do that once or twice a week only or spend the nights in a nearby hotel....and only go home at the weekends, like kids going to boarding school..:oh:

Procrastination is a serious task that should not be taken lightly. Only the very brave master it. ;)
A three hours drive in this winter weather is no fun at all! Esp. at such an early hour. :shocked:
Panna cotta?? :drool: Oh yes, I know that.... Regarding hot chocolate... I have good success adding three spoons of cocoa (at the moment Sarotti) into really hot milk. You can also give one of the fair trade Trinkschokoladen from GEPA a try. I think they taste really good - much better than normal Kaba.
Hehehe. I admire how you managed to organise the dog walk. A true win-win situation. :yes:

yes and I do that with Salzburg each Tuesday.. 3.5 hours in one direction. So I guess that is enough, isn't it?

No hotels for me. I hate them. I'm always anxious. Don't know where that comes from but i simply do not feel safe. But I love airbnb. That was created for people like me. And staying there for the week--- naaaaaaa, I'm too old for that. 20 years ago I would have killed for that.


Ok, Thursday it is.. I'll refresh tpf every minute as I bet there will be a bag- reveal ;)

hahaa, call me master of procrastination! I earned the black belt, surely!

ahhh you are SO right! I totally forgot GEPA. Love them and really like their chocolate as well. And Sarotti.. didn't know they have hot chocolate. Thanks a lot!

I love hotels!
When I was a little girl, we used to visit my grandmother who lived in a tiny flat and we had to stay at the hotel near the railway station. I particularly remember the red carpet in the staircase :smile: it was pure magic!
I am sure my love for hotels comes from that terrific memory.
Funny because when I talked about it with my brother, he said he has hated hotels since we spent nights there and rolled his eyes when he heard about the carpet!:hrmm::hrmm:
