i now have 21 couture handbags in my collection, as i have located & bought the chloe hampton handle & also bought a larg gucci shouler bag from the gucci outlet in NJ last week. it's basic, but perfect for traveling (& it's gucci)!

next i'll add the LV damier azur galliera pm to my handbag collection (it's absolutely gorgeous!).

i also now have a missoni scarf. forgot to mention that i already had the following accessories: a LV iphone case, a gucci make-up bag, a burberry ipod holder & a tiffany business card holder, a pair of chanel sunglasse, a pair of versace sunglasses (i also have a pair of burberry pajamas, not sure if that counts under accessories or not). my dog has a burberry sweater.

next i'll add the LV monogram canvas wapity case to my accessories collection and use it as a camera case for my digital camera.
i now have 22 high-end designer handbags in my collection, as i've added the LV damier azur galliera pm to my handbag collection (contemplated on buying the gm, but didn't like it because thought it was too large). bought her yesterday & she is gorgeous! i even bought the cutest LV charm to go with her. this is the perfect spring/summer handbag!

not sure what i'll buy next. maybe the LV grafitti (that comes out 2/2) or a LV hampstead, or a LV epi in ivory. oh....i'm not sure. it will probably be a while before i purchase another.
