Let's just say we will consider this my back to school shopping.

The Kate Spade tote I mentioned I was looking at earlier this summer was on a big sale in July. It's packed already for school even though I don't start officially for a couple of weeks.

This big print is a real change for me but I think we will go along happily together. LT, I think your tote is the better purchase because you also got a pretty tag, too, but my store didn't have anything like yours. And Kate Spade doesn't seem to be selling purse charms any more! I need some for my KS bags.

I am in a small flutter about what handbag to carry to work when school opens. We will have a lot of cleaning protocols, and if it's anything like June, I'll be handling a lot of sanitizers and disinfectants to clean the children's toys. My hands were in bad shape after four weeks of cleaning.

I like to carry a separate handbag but which one? I don't want to carry my Louis Vuitton as two of my Speedies have vachetta handles and I don't think think the raw leather and hand sanitizer get on very well. I didn't know if I wanted to carry my Rogues...all that lovely pebbled leather and smooth leather handles. So back to Kate Spade.

The Margaux is a bag I've had my eye on for awhile. It's very structured, and although the leather looks pebbled, it's quite tough. Not soft like my Rogues. But easily wipe-able. It was in the "Sale on Sale" so an additional 40% off sale prices. Not all colours of the Margaux are on sale but I love a good navy so I'm pleased. It's just a basic carryall style and should do nicely for the interim. I now have three Kate Spade bags (beautiful plum Lottie is the third) and that's a good sized collection now: satchel, carryall and tote. Wish I could say the same for my Coach collection!

Do you like my summer dahlias? This is their second year and are becoming more abundant. I just love this pink colour.

Oh, I forgot about my rings I bought at Kate Spade as well.

I need to pay more attention. These rings were on display together but I thought they were a collection of three. Imagine my surprise at the till to find the top ring with the pearls is a separate ring, and the bottom two are a set. Anyhow, I had to have all three because they looked so cute together.

Here's something cute from the Coach outlet. I showed you my clear signature large pouch, but I also bought this cute mini cosmetic bag.

It's a small cosmetic bag but so cute!

I was at the outlet because I had purchased a necklace from the FOS for my friend's 50th. When it came in the mail, it was way too short. So I went back to return it and found another lovely, long necklace with pave C's for her. I'm sorry I don't have a photo of the necklace (too much happening at once) but it was very lovely and much appreciated as she has been coveting my Coach long chains for a long time.

My mini. I can also squeeze in two hair ties and a glass cleaning cloth. I didn't show you my two half finished packages of cough drops but that fits in as well.

That's it for now. My last purchase is on it's way...a planner for work from Rifle & Co.

I hope everyone is doing well!:heart:

Oh wow ML, you did good at KS :). I absolutely love the print on your tote — it’s so pretty and vibrant, I would love something in this wonderful print. The Margaux is so elegant and classy — and bonus points for being carefree and tough for these cautious pandemic days. I noticed your beautiful flowers right away and then was impressed to find out they are from your garden (you do have a green thumb :)). Good decision to get all three rings — they really do look like they belong together. Thanks for sharing these pics and enjoy all your goodies :)

It’s no grains, dairy, simple carbs or sugar but lots of good fats. It does allow some starches like sweet potatoes and others hence the flex. Dr. Dale Bredesen is the scientist who advocates it. If you google it, it will pop up. The other part is intermittent fasting which I do 16/8 meaning I only eat eight hours out of the day. I have been highly successful with it.

I think I posted the recipe for whateve for the biscuit. I find it works best with cassava flour. If I didn’t, let me know and I will find it again.

Wow, you are really good about this. I could not live without cheese.... When you do 16/8 do you eat only two meals? I have done the intermittent fasting but I can only go 12/12. I get too hungry if I go longer. :biggrin:

I normally do 16/8 but I've been okay with even lesser time. All my life I was forcing myself to eat breakfast. I'm never hungry in the morning. It is easier to deprive myself of eating when I know I don't have to wait that long. Much easier than a normal diet in which you are constantly depriving yourself. The big thing for me was to give up nighttime snacking. I wouldn't want to give up cheese either. I'm having a problem now finding my favorite parmesan. I can't make alfredo without it. I also couldn't live without cream or meat.
