Oh my...
No purchases from the pile but playing was fun. I did come home to these two beauties.
Tod’s mini D-Styling bauletto in I think galuchat leather and Chole Baylee in struzzo. Both are remarkably in new condition.
Nabbed this cutie from Anthropologie the other week. Perfect for summer! The scarf/twilly is from Etsy.
I finally got this, but it wasn't quite what I expected. The color was gorgeous and I liked the leather, the weight of the bag, and strap length of the long strap even if the bag itself was a little sticky, but the measurements did not line up with the product listing.
The original product listing had it at 15" wide at the base and 9" tall, 5.5" wide making it very close in shape and size to the Balenciaga City which I have and love why I high hopes of it working for me. But even when it was delivered, the box was a lot smaller than I thought it would be and when I opened it, there was no way it was the same size.
Tape measure and side by side comparison proved it, a good few inches off in width and height.
When I contacted FP, they were unable to give a price adjustment based on their incorrect measurements/not as described since they wouldn't value it any differently even if the listing had the correct measurements. It was nice and it did seem to fit my essentials, though with less wiggle room than I like. Ended up returning it since I was just a little salty it wasn't what I expected, and even though I liked it once I got it, I didn't love it enough to keep it at that price.
Couldn't stop thinking about it though and luckily soon found the same bag in a reasonably similar condition for a good amount less than the FP listing and bought that one!
This color is so beautiful, and I love how it shifts slightly bluer or greener in different lighting. The "denim" color is somewhat of a chameleon like that. You could say I was quite inspired by my fiance's recent suit acquisition:
Obsessed with the Miu Miu Vitello Shine leather, I might want this bag in other colors too!

Thanks, I love love love it!Congratulations!It's fabulous!
This is so gorgeous! I am loving the dark metallic vibe. Congrats on your score.
This is a minor splurge: I got these from Coach Outlet online during a clearance event. I love love love strawberries, so these made me happy, and together (with a discount code and free shipping) they were under a hundred dollars. I consider these a score.
The larger is called Nolita 19, just big enough to hold cards, cash, iPhone, lip balm, my asthma rescue inhaler, and keys--my barest essentials. The strap is short and can be handheld or clipped to the same ring to be a wristlet. The photos on the site showed an adult model carrying it on her shoulder--bwahaha, no! Maybe if she were Hobbit-sized. The strawberry coin purse is oddly shaped, of course, and can't hold much at all, but I love it as a little indulgence piece. The strap is a lovely long gold chain.

I was super tempted to get that Nolita 19. It was such a good price. I have one in shearling from winter and it's a great little bag for running to get coffee or doing any activity where you can't take a big bag. I bought a chain from Amazon and wear it crossbody. It's so slim, I don't even have to take it off when I get in the car and buckle up. Or ride in a go-kart with my kid! Congratulations on 2 great pieces at great prices!
