Hi Miss Dawn. So happy to hear that you are already using your new Burberry — it is quite pretty and professional looking at the same time. That Mr Dawn is just too sweet —surprising you with such a beautiful tote and matching SLGs. I am so impressed (he constantly impresses me with his sweet and thoughtful gestures). He clearly is very in tune with your handbag/tote needs. What a wonderful husband. Congrats are in order two days in a row now :smile:. Yeah for new goodies.

Thank you dear @Iamminda
I'm away for business right now, and I couldn't bring myself to throw around my new banner bag, so I'm travelling with an indestructible longchamp le pliage. No matter how many beautiful designer bags I have, I will always use the pliages. They're just so useful.
Thank you for the compliments on Mr Dawn. Yes indeed, very attuned to my handbag/tote needs :biggrin:

Beautiful! How sweet of your husband! This is amazing! I like all the matching accessories, and the color is very elegant and professional. So perfect.

Thank you
I love matching accessories
Though why Mr Dawn felt I needed matching SLGs with a document tote bag, I don't know. :lol: (Literally, I use one of these to carry papers back and forth from office when I don't want my handbag to be heavy) :lol:

^congratulations on your well deserved promotion! The new bag is lovely, & I think it’s very good that you treated yourself. Sounds like you’re at the right company with a supportive CEO like that.
^Mr. Dawn is very sweet! I love oxblood, so I think there’s no such thing as too much of it. [emoji6]

Dearest F&F you've already congratulated me on my promotion, and it's been 3 months now. I know I'm boring!!
I love oxblood/burgundy/wine red colour palettes. A lot :hbeat:
 
I love those pens- so funny! Twins on the gold Leuchtturm 1917 notebook. I am using a dotted gold Leuchtturm right now.


I love your colour collages. I do colour grouping pics, too - so helpful to appreciate what I have.


Congratulations on your new tote, it’s lovely! Great conversation with your CEO, so encouraging!


Great tote - I love the matching SLGs. Burgundy is a great colour. Thumbs up to Mr. Dawn

Hello @More bags
I hope you're doing great :hugs:
I haven't started using the gold leuchtturm yet. Yay for being twins!
Thank you for the compliments on my Banner bag and the burgundy/oxblood tote. I've started using the Banner bag and it's really lovely.:hbeat:

Reactions: More bags
I bought another bag :biggrin: I don't feel at all guilty because

a) it's so disarmingly and innocently pink that it's impossible to feel guilty about
b) I wanted it forever and
c) I received a bonus of which this was a tiny fraction. I figure that if I work so hard I may as well have some fun with my earnings :angel:

So, en route to Bali for vacation, I bought a LV Alma BB in Rose Ballerine. I think she is feminine and perfect and embodies who I want to be: soft but structured (principled), feminine, serene, graceful, classic and a lady through and through.

Meet Rosie :hbeat:

Ps. In the first collage there is a random picture of other goodies I acquired for the trip - Korean skincare including a bunch of face masks for pampering; a new bottle of perfume opened (YSL Cinema); and Bose headphones.

Pps. Flowers from Mr Dawn

Ppps. That's our own private garden & pool on vacation :biggrin: I'm very happy right now :flowers:

So beautiful! What a pretty, ladylike pink! I like how you put your personality and who you want to project into the decision making process.

Congrats Miss Dawn. I love love love Rosie — a favorite color of mine (as you already know). This bag is just pink perfection (if I could do structured satchel, this would be mine too, lol). I love the comparison of you and Rosie — yep, agree on the feminine and classy but strong and principled comparison. Oh, so pleased that you got beautiful flowers from Mr Dawn (wow, even on vacation, he is constantly thinking about you and being a sweetheart). I am happy that you are enjoying a splendid vacation. Can’t wait to see more pics.

Thank you very much
I've had my eye on this one for a very long time. I know it's a bit barbie but it suits me fine. It will just take the edge off a business suit, and it will look great with pink and white outfits :biggrin:

Thank you :smooch:
You could absolutely pull off Rosie. Why wouldn't you carry a structured satchel?
Now I want the matching ZCP :facepalm: But I do have my pink LV trio in epi and my Rosalie coin purse in DE so it's not as if I'm short of matching accessories :giggle:
 
An updated set of family collages. The collages I made by colour theme a few weeks ago, and one new one at the end with my three latest acquisitions :love:

Ladies, do I need more red bags?

I don't think so but there are so many lovely red bags on the "What's in my handbag thread" (I blame @RuedeNesle and @carterazo primarily) that I'm looking critically at my family collage and thinking I need more red?! :panic:

Please talk me out of it!! Not only do I have the pink / reds in post #354 above, but I also have some non superbrands (#11 on page 1)

Please dis-enable me :flowers:
 
Yep, I “blame” RN and C for showing us all their lovely reds (and other colors). If you truly want to be talked out of it (do you really? Lol), I think you have a good number of red and pink bags. On the other hand, you only have 1 gray bag (if I counted correctly) so maybe look into getting another gray? I am sure whatever bag you pick, it will be just lovely.
