Please indulge me in a redo. It’s been bothering me that I left out @eleanors36 (a long time ban islander) on my Christmas card (even though I had a disclaimer saying sorry for leaving anyone out). So I made a new card with my Happy New Year wishes. (I may be leaving out someone again but this is the last time I will attempt to do this, lol).
Have a great first week of the year, lovely ban islanders
I thought about nominating myself to be the next one to crack (just in case), but I'm looking at all my gorgeous new stuff and ...I think not! So I vote for @Syren !
Besides, I just paid for housing and tuition for both kids.I need some time to re-group. And I'm feeling rather protective of my wallet until next week when I order my LV wallet for my birthday
. (SLGs don't count right?
)
On another note, I sold a clutch and a small wallet so picked up my consignment money today!I'm throwing that into my new wallet fund.
Edited to add: I dropped off another bag and a cosmetic case at the consignment store as well. Today was a good clear out of Sporting Goods, consignment store, Salvation Army thrift store and the women's shelter.
oh my gosh, when DD asked me for the Borough yesterday I was so surprised. Secretly, I thought she forgot about it. But as she was getting her things sorted out, she asked to see my black handbags, "that one that starts with a B?"
So after trying it on, and my beloved smooth black Sophia and the black prairie bud Nolita, she decided the Borough was perfect for her. And I have to admit, it did look very smart on DD, satchel and shoulder carry. It is such an elegant bag. And that bag was in my winter rotation for work! Ah well, what we parents don't do for our children. I did put a kibosh on borrowing any LV until she can afford it herself (any delay tactic I can think of to protect what I've got left).
I looked at the Sarah and Emilie wallets again. The one I love but I think it's discontinued is the French purse. My mom had that style wallet when I was little and I loved the change purse built into the wallet. I liked the smooth, flat kiss lock you could open. I sometimes see a preloved one but they are in rough shape.
I'm feeling confident about my wallet choice now, so plan to call ahead to see if one can be put aside for me. Either that or buy one online and have it delivered to the store for my inspection and approval. My shopping gal-pal whom I bought my Speedy 30 DA with in June (she bought the Neverfull DA) and I are going to pick it up, have a little shop and dinner together.
I wish you, and all the Ladies on our thread, could come to my Louis Vuitton for a birthday meet-up! That would be really special!
Stare at me. Just me. Not bags. I'm worth it and you'll feel better that you did.
So funny.. thank you! It is really pretty with all of the mixed materials. And the other thing I love about the Dreamer is that the strap is fully adjustable to be crossbody or a short shoulder length--which is the length I like and typically have to do myself.That looks almost better than a man. Gorgeous!
My last goodies from 2018 arrived today/yesterday. The grey page 27 and the platinum dreamer 21.
I can wear the page crossbody with my novelty strap, which was the reason I bought it. If I use a small wallet it could be an everyday bag for me!
The dreamer... it is so stinking CUTE! It fits me crossbody and I’ll be able to use it as a weekend bag- my iPhone 7 fits inside easily & I’ll also be able to fit a small wallet, sunglasses, and my keys. I love it!!!
