I'd save for the bag you want most. once you have it get some small items. if you really like the groom cles i'd pick it up because they might be gone soon.
Second thought why not buy the manhattan or baggy used ? it will save you some money and you could get a small item or two.
heehee - I already got the groom cles! All those accessories up there are actually my purchases in the last 2 weeks - except for the Pochette MM which I was actually going to buy today - but when I went to the LV store during my lunch hour I was highly disappointed - because I was surprised by the fact that the MM is too small and the GM is too big for what I wanted it to be... I was actually thinking when I saw pics but not yet IRL that it could be the replacement for my coach wristlet. I was gonna strap on the wapity strap onto the Pochette MM key chain and use it like a wristlet. But the white MC canvas is stiffer than the Coach cloth so it won't expand large enough for me to fit my cell phone in there without distorting the pochette. oh boo... but I guess my bank account is happy about that!
I am considering getting the baggy pm used - but I haven't come across any in good condition yet. I'm also super picky - so I'm trying to find one in just the right shade of denim too (I prefer something darker rather than lighter). Plus I'm a complete eBay newb - never bought or sold anything on it so I'm a bit too scared still to use it - plus from what I've been reading on tPF and on auctions - it doesn't look like a zero feedback bidder/buyer is something a seller looks forward to. (which I understand - since it just means no history so higher risk of bid - no pay or other problems - but difficult for me because I wouldn't be one of those kind of people!! )
The Manhattan pm I definitely want to get new from the store. I don't know - I guess it's a personal irk - but because it's a handheld with vachetta I want to be there for the bags entire patina process so I know that any patina on the handles are from my hands and not somebody elses.
I'm with you on that. ^^^
I don't know if I would ever be able to get anything used. Irks me too.
Ha. we're LV twins
My gosh... I really do want a Manhattan PM and a white MC speedy and a Denim baggy PM for that matter. Today I've realized that the little accessories are killing my savings plan!!! Don't know if I should be happy because I have these little treasures or I should be kicking myself because with the money I've spent in the last 2 weeks I'm pretty much almost at a Manhattan pm or a Denim baggy pm...
So my wondering and curious mind... or perhaps I'm just looking for reassurance that I haven't been stupid and gave up a bag for multiple accessories... anyhoo...
Would you rather have:
Option 1:
- 1 mono koala small agenda with rose interior (free 2006 full refill set)
- 1 Groom cles
- 1 monogram leopard scarf
- 1 white MC pochette MM
- 1 inclusion bracelet (in italics cuz I haven't ACTUALLY spent the $$ on this yet!*)
Option 2:
- 1 Manhattan PM
Option 3:
- 1 Denim baggy PM
*and actually I could probably throw in an inclusion bracelet in Option 1 to get to the price of the Manhattan PM.
The little pieces you bought are more limited whereas the bags will be there for a little bit longer. Don't fret, for you'll get everything you want!!!
It is a comforting thing to know I'm not the only one! We'll look out for eachother and if we happen to fall off the wagon - we can encourage eachother (well congratulate eachother on definitely a great purchase).. encourage eachother to not fall off again so we can stay focused on the goal!
My estimated timelines: March 2007 (birthday time!) for the Manhattan PM and Summer 2007 either the Denim Baggy PM or the white MC Speedy 30.
It's tough staying away from the accessories tho because there is so much variety and so many lines - just too many pretty things! I should be good to stay away from the accessories now tho - must be more resolved and plus I pretty much have one item of each 'type' of thing. I'm trying to resist the desire for a vernis small agenda!
I rather have one huge LV bag and save the little accessories on my wish list for bf, parents and nice relatives to buy for me on holidays.
