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:

Great haul! I love all the pretty things you got. I had that colorful tote in my cart for a while during the sale back in July. I thought too long about it, and it sold out right from under my nose. Enjoy all your new pretties!
 
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 really don’t do anything formal. I eat a large lunch or brunch and then snack with maybe one more smaller meal towards the end. I usually don’t need to eat up to the final hour. I eat a lot of fat like nuts and olive oil so I find that keeps me pretty satiated. Working and sleeping also helps too.

Hi ML, Your new tote is so bright and cheerful! You did a great job finding pretty bags for work. I appreciated seeing all your little treasures too, and you know I enjoyed seeing what fits in the cute tiny orange pouch. :smile: That's a beautiful ring trio, and what a great gift to find the necklace for your friend wanting a chain necklace like yours. I hope this season is easier on your hands. I hope you are doing well too and won't need those cough drops.
 
I just bought the city sole sneakers on FOS.
A member from the PCE sale thread posted an extra 10% coupon for the sale items in coach, I got my husband a super nice hoodie for our anniversary this month great price from $225 to $80 cad with the extra 10% and used rankuten for free shipping code and 6% back ,last month he took something back to the coach storeand mentioned he liked the quality of the cotton , but coach's ready to wear is kind off pricey

I bought a men's hoodie for myself from the Kaffe Fassett collection. I really love it. I've only had a few clothing items from Coach but the quality has been great.
 
Today we got in the car to take a return to the UPS store. As we were backing out of the driveway, the UPS driver appeared. He took my package so we didn't have to go. DH was telling me I shouldn't go into the UPS store, that I should call them and ask them to come out to the car, but I didn't want to do that. When I handed the package to the UPS driver, DH was yelling at me the whole time to back away. I was wearing a mask but the driver wasn't.

Lucky timing — saved you a trip (and some gas :lol:)
