OK...some musings, so bear with me....

Lots of cool things coming up for me...
Later this month is my 25 year anniversary with LV (25 years since I got my first bag.)
Next month is my birthday, the big 4-0 (yikes)
...and...I am getting ready to hit 20,000 posts

So I thought I would celebrate with a great new bag...makes sense, right?
But nothing is appealing to me. :hrmm:

I thought about getting a new keepall, mono or damier, to replace the one my son 'borrowed' for college, since that was my first bag from 25 years ago...but the reason I let him take it was I barely used it.....so I thought how about something similar, but different...looked at the Ribera gm and Nolita 24 (discontinued, but vf has one) but :shrugs:, they seem so blah.

Posting about my white, mc keepall in the beach thread, makes me almost want to get a new one....yes, I could ask for mine back from my sister, but :s she loves it, and I would feel bad asking for it back after so long...so I think I will let her just keep it.

From the beach thread:
I used to always take my white mc keepall...it was my summer 'standby' bag. Sat under the foyer table at all times, packed with sun screen, towels, a few snacks (fruit snacks, peanuts, etc), and water. Some cash, a credit card, the season passes for all the parks in the pockets... it was great, we could grab and go on a moments whim...but then my sister borrowed the bag for a trip and I haven't gotten it back in over a year and a half...

So, now that I have completly bored you....any thoughts or suggestions?
 
For you mary? Hmm this is a hard one. I would look at these suggestions.

Ribera
Nolita
The new waterproof keepal?
SO epi alma voyage

OR (best idea) what about springing for a boite on ebay?
DH will understand 20,000 posts and the big 40 and 25 years with louis deserves something amazing
 
I thought about the waterproof keepall, too...I think I am going to look at that tomorrow.

I have the mono alma voyage, otherwise the special order epi would sound great.

I have been thinking of sunset, but in perle...but I don't know if that is 'special' enough...kwim?

I think I am just a spoiled brat, especially this year...I just bought too much and haven't saved something to celebrate with.
 
How about getting LV fine jewellery or a watch? That's what I would choose for my 40th. Seems you have a lot of bags already and if none of the new ones coming out are shouting your name then perhaps some bling would be appealing?
 
I would go w/a special piece of LV jewelry as suggested. I would get the charm bracelet w/1 or 2 charms and add more for different occasions.

For my 40th b'day three yrs ago, my DH let me choose either a nice piece of jewlery or a watch. I opted for a watch.
