What a lovely bag! It is really a shame that bags are not made with that level of quality anymore. But it's not just bags. Everything has dropped in quality in the last ten years. While the prices have rocketed. I wonder if things will ever change?



Omigosh! I hope your husband is feeling better! Sounds like a "totty" would be a nasty thing to end up with in one's lungs. A relative made one of those for me when I was sick years ago. It was very restorative. :p It also led to about ten hours of sleep.

I was not aware of the surfer connection to the fur boots/bare legs/short-shorts look. But that makes sense. Although we are a thousand miles from any ocean and still covered with ice, so it doesn't seem like a terribly practical look, especially when worn with a parka.



Good luck at the hairdresser's Mariapia! That sounds like fun. Are you planning to be transformed, or just going for a little trim?
Good morning! Ooohhhh love going to the hairdresser's. Enjoy your time

Not too many ladies at the hairdresser's today. Spent two hours there though...:amazed:
Nothing interesting in the fashion magazines I had a look at.
But an article about a bag designer, Céline Lefebure...
I am going to google her website.
No hair transformation today ..Just had it dyed and trimmed..:smile:
Editing my post now.
Céline Lefebure doesn't have her own website, but here is a pic of a model carrying one of her bags in Femme Actuelle magazine.

Not a joke.
Flown floral prints have never looked good on me.
Make me look like Marian the Librarian.
Or an aging hippie.
I try to stick to more streamlined clothes.
Or athleisure (the new word for trackies).
They seem to be more in line with my youthful spirit and on the go lifestyle.
Oh, I thought you were talking about the bag....:sad:

The bag is very pretty. Are you already eyeing another bag? ;) :hugs:

For example: View attachment 3584197
Today's outfit is faded jeans, long float top with matching scarf and these shoesView attachment 3584196
To quote Mermaids ( gotta love Cher) "know your colors and know your fabrics. It's what it tell all my girls. "

Very cool outfit! You are looking great. And I agree with Mariapia - you can never be too old to wear a saddle bag. :) It's such a classic style.

Sad, but true. Quality is going down everywhere, while everthing gets more expensive.
Maybe things will stop, when we stop buying. But, I do not see this happen. Consumerism has spiraled our of control.

Wish that bag could heat. Would be a cool special feature right now. :biggrin:
:thinking: Hmm. Bags with radiant heat. Maybe wires through fabric lining, as electric blanket?
Might melt lip balm.:sad:
But totally worth it.:biggrin:
All I can say about this day is this:

Hope you are well, too! :hugs:
Ah, the people of walmart.
That site is a whole mess o' Mondays.:shocked:
Hello ladies!:heart::heart:
Hope everyone is fine this morning.
I am going to the hairdresser's.. I am looking forward to reading fashion magazines and... looking at bags ads of course.
I consider myself as being on a special ( and dangerous )mission here..:angel::angel:
You get fashion magazines?!
My hairdresser keeps hair books. And hair magazines.
Thousands of heads on parade. Flip, flip, flip.
And occasional hunting/fishing magazine. For bored husbands waiting.

The shoes :loveeyes:
Omg, want some! So cute & versatile.

You look great. :tup::coolio:Very urban chic.
And thinner.
Teach me how.(stuffing sesame candy into my mouth)

Wise words. Wise, wise words.:smartass::heart:
But, after seeing Mariapia's fashion photo, want new dress...:noggin:

The dress is from Pablo( same company as Gérard Darel).:smile:
No fishing magazine at the hairdresser's, remainsilly, Not even for the gentleman who came three times and couldn't believe his wife was still there two hours after she arrived..:hrmm:
And no, Ludmilla.. I am not eyeing a new bag.... At least for now....:coolio::coolio:;)

I am waiting for my Ricky...:smile::smile:
No news from the site... Italian sites generally keep us waiting. I am getting used to it now.:sad::sad:
I can't wait for you to get your Ricky and post pics :)

I'm shoppping my closet to quiet my wanting a new bag. Dh bought me a beautiful Tory Burch bag for Christmas that I've been using since. However the call of a Longchamp le pliage cuir is hard to ignore...
