Great styles!

Wow the bottom of your shoes is so clean!

If by bottom you mean the white sole, well, that picture I think it was after a cleaning I made for most of my designer footwear, I followed a GQ tip for cleaning white on shoes and it worked wonders, well it was some sort of a mix between the GQ tip and something I read online, I firstly dissolved baking soda in warm water and with a used toothbrush started cleaning the white or bright coloured sole (the Fendi shoes with yellow soles too) and then I took a little toothpaste and brushed all over, then finally I wiped with a wet cloth and voilá, it worked wonders honestly.

Also from that day onwards I've been spraying the soles with a water/stain repelent I bought at nine west, it's some sort of teflon layer that helps for stains to be easily removable. (That works perfectly with the latest pair of Fendi sneakers I got since 80% of the sneaker is fabric, so go figure)

I use lighter fluid and/or WD40 to clean the white edges of the soles, but I don't clean the bottom (sole) because it just gets dirty after each use.

Thanks for the tip. I may try it next time if the lighter fluid/WD40 doesn't work well on a particular stain.

@averagejoe I didn't know you had a monster bag collection, please post the pics here!!!

Not so much a collection, but a few pieces. I sold the grey Monster tote (my first Monster) because the nylon started to bubble at the sides and it bugged me (the nylon was glued to a backing in its construction, and part of it separated somehow, forming bubbles). Will share some pictures sometime of the pieces.

Great styling!

I haven't gotten a chance to use my Peekaboo recently. Will share soon when I get a chance. I managed to make two more charms out of pieces that I have lying around.

Yeah I had these Dior Gaucho charms lying around from my mom's Gaucho bag which she snipped the charms off of (she didn't like them). I also have a Dior Flight tag which I found a little chain to attach to my bag. Will share soon.

Here are my self-made charms, thanks to you (@memo.alive ). Your idea of converting a pant decoration into a charm made me look around to see what I had that could be changed into charms.

The Dior Flight one is a bit small as it came from a Dior Flight hat rather than the handbag.

The Dior Gaucho one is a perfect size. The leather part is a spare tassel from a Balenciaga bag. I figured the distressed look of the leather goes with these charms.
