Thanks for the bag review! I am still dithering about making a plunge into the H bag pool, so reviews like this are helpful.
I know you are in Canada, I noticed yesterday that the Carre club event in nyc this weekend is coming to Toronto soon.

Exactly! There are a few things we had to bite the bullet on and order now because we couldn’t wait for someone to buy it off the registries. I think your new place will feel a lot more homey once the art is up, whether it be new acquisitions or prices you already own. The bare walls for me kind of made it feel like I was squatting in someone else’s half done apartment.
Your furniture conundrum sounds so frustrating. Do you think you’ll be able to make it work or end up buying all new pieces together eventually? All the furniture in my last apartment was rented so SO and I had the luxury of starting from scratch rather than trying to work around what we already had. I wish we could snap our fingers and the apartments would be good to go. Getting them to the point where they truly feel cozy and like home is taking so much longer than I thought it would!
Yes, unfortunately I will be away that weekend and will miss it completely.
I’m finding the Jypsiere much more secure (and heavier) for transit or crowded situations. My last run of bags were hobo/shoulder carry and I didn’t think too much about security but with these H bags I need to be aware.
It does take ages. I was beating myself up that it was not all ‘done’ but then I decided to be kind to myself and realize that it’s mostly me and my stuff, and I have a busy, stressful full time job over and above domestic tasks.
I’m not rushing into getting rid of organizational items, but some things like extra nightstands need to go.
But I’m really glad I kept the doors off my credenza as they look better on here. I almost tossed them in the moving purge. This morning I reattached them, sorted a bunch of stuff and am tossing the nightstand.
Progress!!
Playing around with scarves today- trying to decide which ones to take on week-long trip..
I have more than I can possibly wear, but this is what i have narrowed it down to:
1 CSGM, 1 100 CS, 4 90s, 1 MaxiTwilly, 1 70, 1 moussie stole. Partly not sure on weather so trying to take a variety of formats. Clothes are navy pants and cardigans/ jacket. Tops in white/ cream, grey, navy stripe and light blue.
I know I am taking too many 90s, but can’t decide which ones to leave home.
I am just not a minimalist!

Genie that’s what is somewhat upsetting about buying furniture. You want to invest in good stuff but it rarely is perfect if you move. I’m going to have the same predicament.
from a paper towel roll to a tiny contraption to an entire glass chest just for my jewelry! I'm going blingmanic these months.
Yassssss! I want to be able to quickly find the perfect access for a given outfit!!
Yes, I actually like the idea. Although, it may look messy and drive me crazy, I need clean surfaces ... Something to think about
Well it’s behind a glass door. I haven’t actually put much thought into making the display as lovely as possible, I just dumped all my jewelry onto the 4 shelves quickly because I just put the glass shelves there the day before yesterday and I needed to rehome my jewelry which was all over the floor.
Doesn't hurt to take a couple of 'extra' scarves. Shoes maybe not, but a couple of scarves is practically negligible
.
I am sorry for your loss, papertiger. I hope that you are doing some small things to take care of yourself during this difficult time. We are here for you in our thoughts, but also if you want to chat, vent, whatever.
Thank you so much for sympathy ad best wishes. That it's taken me so long to thank you is pretty inline with how rubbish I've been in every area of my life apart from work recently
