Mr Dawn and I are on holiday, visiting family. Lazy long days

I am always off topic on my thread! I try to post collages of my collection after every 3-4 pages, so that anyone who actually wanted to see a bag collection on my bag showcase thread () will be able to find some relevant pictures.

My lovely happy-inducing collection. There we go...

(I want a new beige bag. I do not need a new bag. Chant after me... I do not need a new bag )

ETA:

ps. I totally don’t have a beige bag... it would legitimately fill a gap in my collection... repeat after me, I don’t need a new bag...!!

Pps. Dior and Prada have awesome post-sales service. I sent two pairs of Prada stilettos, real “aren’t I fabulous?” happy shoes to the spa and the black ones came back perfect, while the cream look much better. Both for free! I’ve also sent my baguette (“east west”) Lady Dior for a re-dyeing and handle replacement because the edging was badly worn. That cost £300 but it should make the bag pretty much new, so it’s fine. She’s back and ready to be picked up. Can’t wait.

Lovely collage, Miss_Dawn. And I think a beige bag would fit right in there and look very nice as well.....

But seriously, beige is not a color I am particularly drawn to, but beige bags are so versatile. My beige bag goes with almost everything in my closet......just saying.

Hello Miss Dawn. Hope you and Mr Dawn are enjoying your holiday and visiting with your family. I absolutely love your idea of reposting your purse collages here and there (because yes, I am too lazy to scroll back to find them). And yes, your collection is happy inducing indeed . Good to know about the great after-sale service at Dior and Prada. I hope you find your perfect beige bag soon, by next year sometime.

Yes, a beige bag would fit right in, and work very nicely in my wardrobe <nodding earnestly >

The problem is what kind of beige? The Gucci Marmont “dusky pink” which is a dark tawny beige is the one I have in mind. But I also quite like the idea of Chanel beige clair. Although beige clair is really similar to my cream Lady Dior.

Lots of earnest plotting required...

I enjoy all your collages! I hope your vacation is just what you need. Enjoy those relaxing days! It sounds like a good time! Have fun finding the right beige...if you decide you do need the bag! I like the Coach color "beechwood". It doesn't show well online. You have to see it in person, but it's a really unique sandy beige shade. I don't usually like beige, and I really enjoy this shade, so that is saying a lot! Maybe there's a similar shade in one of the bags you are considering.

I am not habitually an enabler - really and truly. However, a beige bag is a good staple to have in the wardrobe.

I think beige can have so many undertones - pink, cream or even grey - and I also like beige with pink undertones the best. Chanel's beige clair is also very nice; looks more like a rich creamy beige color to me. I think the LV Capucines bag comes in a beige color - I recall trying it on a few months ago. Anyway, it will be fun exploring the options and I hope you will find your perfect beige bag in the near future.

Ooooooh I’m happy

Small unboxings to come

Before I launch into my new purchases, a quick update

I had a lovely vacation, very relaxing. Then landed back at work in the middle of this week, with a bang So many clients and teams waiting for me to get back and sign things off for reports that needed to go out. I ended up working till midnight each day, but I got everything under control! I felt varying levels of despair and ‘gosh, I’m superwoman’ (The moments of despair significantly exceeded the self-congratulations)

Which brings us to this weekend. I love Guy Fawkes weekends but it was pouring rain so we ended up missing the fireworks yesterday. We did however catch quite a few displays in various directions around London from our balcony at home, so I'm satisfied with that.

Today, we went shopping Now I'm off for a conference I'm chairing. Bit tired, but it should run fine. I know what I’m doing

Thank you dear @tealocean I need to see it in real life. I saw it online and it looked beautiful.

Today I went looking for a beige option. I had beige in mind, but lingering at the back of my mind was a yellow bag. I ruined a cheerful Michael Kors last year, trying to re-dye it (my first and last attempt at re-habbing a bag... clearly not my forte!!)

Long story short - I haven’t found my beige, but I did find a small yellow crossbody which I’m very happy about

I agree, and I think I want a beige with yellow undertones, as well as one with pinky undertones! I love the shape of the LV Cappucines but I’ve seen so many people say they had to let theirs go because of its weight that I’ve taken it off my radar!

Will keep looking leisurely for my beige bag. No hurry!

Hi Miss Dawn — great to get your update. Happy that you had a lovely vaca but yikes, you landed back at work during such a crazy busy time. Those long until-midnight work days probably undid all the rest and relaxation from your vaca . But glad to hear that your survived the week. Oh yippee for weekend shopping — can’t wait to see your unboxing. And a big shout out to sweetie Mr Dawn (he is the BEST) for helping you with that artistic pose. (I see you got your Christmas tree and decorations up already — how fun and festive). Wishing you a successful conference — you will do fantastic

PS. I love the look of the Capucines too and I can totally see you with the PM size in the color Galet. I haven’t tried one yet but was researching it this past summer, lol.

Yes, it's interesting how those undertones can create such a broad range of options - so many shades of beige to choose from. Good luck in making your selections, Miss_Dawn.

This is so funny and so sweet he did that for you!!! I love it.

I'm looking forward to seeing your new yellow crossbody! I don't have a yellow bag. It's hard for me to pull off yellow. It has to be a really "cool" yellow if that is even really possible. Kind of a soft/clear/baby yellow or a neon yellow that isn't too yellow. Yellow clothing on me causes people to ask if I'm feeling well. Maybe I actually could pull of a bag far away from my face. I still think it is a fun color; so I will enjoy admiring yours!
