Earlier this week, I wrote a really nice post with all my purchases from the last several months only to have computer issues and needing to restart it twice. This caused me to lose everything, so I'm trying again with a short version which I hope to edit and be able to add my info. Here goes....

I love them! Tell us more details! I recognize the Coach bags. I'm drooling over the Kaffe Fasset.

The first two bags are from my Italian - ordered in early March. It includes DH's birthday present. I already carried both, of course.

Back in late March I bought some Coach goodies. I returned the Cashing Carry tote because it wasn't the green I wanted. I kept two other items, but decided to return them when I found out that Coach was closing the return window for purchases made while the stores were closed. Anyway, by now everything was 40% off and with the money I got back, I got the turn lock shoulder bag and had a bit more for the geometric bag. I couldn't resist the gorgeous orange red color. I was lucky enough that within a week, everything went down to 50% off! That $ back covered a good part of the rest of the cost of the geometric bag. So, it turned out to be very little $ spent on two bags I love. The turn lock bag was my bag this week. I love how ladylike it is.

These two were birthday presents to myself. As you know, I often notice bags after they have sold out or are hard to find. The Kaffe Fassett Troupe crossbody bag won my heart and I stalked it like nobody's business for months. I kept finding it at sky high prices which I refused to pay. I finally got an offer I could not refuse. When it arrived, I was disappointed that the colors were not as vibrant as in the pictures. But then, I loved the fact that so many colors are muted - it makes the bag so much more elegant. It also goes with so many more colors because there is no clash of colors! I have carried this bag several times and I love it! It is one of my top 3 in my collection. That's saying a lot! I have wanted a small Lee Radziwill for a long time now. I finally found one at a price I was willing to pay in a color I loved. She's a real beauty! A bit hard to maneuver, but she's worth the hassle - especially if I take her to church or some place where I don't have to open her much. I haven't had a chance to carry her yet as I don't get out much. I hope to soon.

Sometime in the summer, one of you mentioned a really good sale on Bloomingdale's. I was able to get this cutie for a steal! I love this color and size. This has been my most used bag of the summer. I also got the domed bag in red with the purple trip but it wasn't love, so I returned it.

Thanks, ladies! i've finally edited my post enough times to include all the little stories behind the bags.

I just learned a trick on Gmail. DH sees my email sometimes so he can tell when I've bought something. I just figured out I can mute some emails so they don't show up when he looks!

I am so taken by that gorgeous Lee R. bag (the belt detail reminds me of a H Kelly). Enjoy all your beautiful new bags, House Jr

Argh! I left out one bag. (I knew something was missing, but couldn't figure out what. Lol!) This is what I bought with sale $ from not long ago. I've been wanting a chalk Cassie and a tan Cassie. I think this one covers both beautifully. It was hard to find for less than 1/2 price, but I eventually found a new one at my kind of price. I was a little bummed that it came without the hangtag. Luckily, it's just a plain one. I don't think I'll miss it much. Love this neutral combo. Another colorblock bag. Remember when I said colorblock was not my thing? Ha! Famous last words...

You know, I have a Coach shopping bag from forever ago when they had the legacy stripes - I just love all the colors and had to keep it. When I was going back and forth with Marco about the multicolor slg, not once did I think of the Coach shopping bag. Just before making my final decision, I pulled out the shopping bag while in the process of organizing my closet. I gasped and then, ! Here I had spent all this time agonizing about the colors and didn't think to look at the legacy stripes online or in my closet. They did help me go for two of the softer green instead of one darker green stripe. Coach did inspire after all in spite of of my terrible memory.

Thank you! It's such a classy bag! Reminds me a bit of a classic from the 50's or 60's. It's the perfect size for me and fits everything I normally carry with room to spare. Before buying it, I actually ventured into my local Nordstroms to see if they had any of the ones they show online. No luck, though. I still wish I could see one of the smooth leather ones.

I love the belt detail too. Part of my love for this bag is exactly what you said. What I found interesting is that the key fob is essential as the bag won't "unlock" unless you put in the key. I thought I would remove the fob for a clean look, but no. It's better for it to be secure intertwined with the bag.

The multicolor one is a large slg that I had modified to carry on the shoulder. Marco and I had a lot of fun picking colors to create this combination. He was so patient!

About a month ago, the 1941 clutch in 1941 red showed up on fos for a really good price. I really wanted it, so I put it in my cart. Unfortunately, you needed to spend $200 for free shipping. I refused to pay for shipping so put this gorgeous Dreamer shoulder bag in my cart as well. I had drooled and looked at this bag in store every time I went in, but wanted to pay less than 50 off for it. As it turned out, the day of the purchase it was $199 plus an additional 10% cash back on R---ten. Anyway, I put it in my cart hoping to get a scratched up return. Nope! It was the clutch that came in horrible shape. This beauty was wrapped to the nines and brand spanking new. What's a girl to do under such circumstances???? Keep it of, course!

So there you have it! I have become house jr. Thanks for letting me share. Fortunately, my wishlist is very short. (1 bag) An it will probably not be discounted for a while. Now to wait for the nothots. Sorry (not sorry) ladies!

I love them all! I have been wanting a dreamer shoulder bag for a while, but between my ban and the fact I have 0 social life I have no reason to buy anything hahaha, can I come to your house and play with your bags? , you have great taste

Good to see you! You must be crazy busy and exhausted. These are hard times for parents with school aged children. Your baby is growing so much and changing. Tell her we're in a pandemic, please keep her regular schedule to help mommy. Hang in there, C. ((Hugs))

I read this to her lol. I hope she takes it to heart.

That is great about school going well! Aw, she is growing so fast and moving around already? It's so fast.

I know! I wish I could freeze these months with her. it’s so bittersweet for me bc these are my last Firsts with my own children. Lol

Just a quick hi! Did anyone purchase anything from the restocked FOS? I found a Dark Fairytale Hayden (purple!). I have not ever used a Hayden but this was pretty cute with a lot of the poison apples on it. For the low price, giving it a try.

I am trying to ignore the loads of holes dug around my house. They are doing my foundation work and it is quite a project. I can't leave out my front porch as they had to remove a few boards to get underneath the porch to the foundation there as well. I have this week and part of next to do my best to just be patient and hopeful. I can't wait until they are done, though. School started this week too, so it has been quite a start to the fall season here!

I haven’t purchases anything from FOS. Tempted. I’m always looking at the Haydens. Cute and small. My thing lol. Let me know what you think of the bag. They’re always coming out with great colors and prints. Speaking of Dark Fairytale.. I miss my poison apple charm that fell off my bag Loved that charm. And I rarely buy charms.

 

[BeachBagGal]

I think it sold out halfway through yesterday. It was coming up in the reserve section and by searching disney yesterday. But by the end of the day both Haydens were gone. there was one that was an off white color and had "bashful" on it-- the purple had sleepy on it. I found a pic of the back on google and was excited to see the design they chose.
