I had a great Saturday . I had My hair colored a new lighter color this morning, watched Miss 10 score during her basketball game and then a manicure. Came home and dh had made dinner. I'm carrying my Dooney and Bourke florentine satchel, still shopping my closet.

Sounds like a great day!
Youngest DD took third in the competition so she's in a good mood.
It didn't snow.
All is well.
 
What I'm wearing today: an LV bag and an Hermès scarf. The bird on the scarf is a phoenix, not a rooster, but at least it has feathers!
Fantastic pairing!:girlsigh:

Believe Chinese phoenix is bit different than Egyptian, etc.
Body is said to symbolize 5 human qualities:
head=virtue
wings=duty
back=ritually correct behavior
breast=humanity
stomach=reliability
And feathers correspond, as 5 colors.

Truly, you chose a great scarf for today! And will be blessed in 2017.:heart:
If I were not waiting for my Ricky, I would have bought one or two.:sad::sad:
Patience is supposed to be a virtue.
But, it is veeeeeery difficult, when waiting for bags.:cursing:

Florentine has such nice, natural leather.
I pat them, whenever passing in stores.:blush:

Mine is surly 17. Can't wait for college.
Surly isn't daunted by distance.
And phones at odd hours, complaining or screaming.:lol:
But 18 is easier. Not easy. Just -ier.;)
 
Enjoyed street festival.
Lions ate red envelopes. Live roosters wore fancy neckties.
And my feet went numb from cold.

So, we surrendered. And ate napoleons with hot coffee. In a nice, warm used bookshop.
(cannot eat wearing scarves--not my superpower:hrmm:)
poppy red, Korean silk & tasty napoleon.jpg
Store had quirky decor. Complete with chicken family--made from book pages.

The rooster is everywhere. Everywhere.:shocked:

I remember this stage so well from the older one.
And the late night phone calls.
Most days it's not too bad but she's so tired from all the extra activities that come with senior year. It will get better.
Meanwhile, bag porn posted by all you lovely ladies is keeping my spirits up!!![emoji7][emoji7]
