@NycVixen You still there? I amended a post below to clarify I was talking about fashion in general. Have a good night!

OK, thanks for the clarification. Have a good night @Serendipity. I hope you are feeling better. I was telling DH that you have me worried little Dipity!!! .

---

@NycVixen Yeah, not sure how it got turned around, and copied over elsewhere, but I know you got it! Besides, I like wearing black with or without flip flops. Ha ha.  Awww, thanks, but don't worry. Going to doc's.

Speaking of great values, I can't wait to receive my Valentine's day gift from my DH. I found a preloved white and black houndstooth coat from I brand that I love on eBay that I've been chasing for many years. The style came out like 5-7 years or more ago and I always regretted not buying it. Originally, it was about $350-400 but I got it for $58 (after I redeemed by eBay bucks). 

I was so happy I told DH that he could simply gift it to me for Valentine's. It happens to be his birthday, so I want to focus on him . I got him a really nice Skagen watch at a great price too from TJ Maxx.

@NycVixen Lovely! Nice gifts all around. I got a houndstooth scarf, lightweight silk-type, last season. First venture into that pattern, but like it as an accent too.

@Serendipity  I used to think this pattern was too much at first but it grew on me the longer I worked in fashion. What I really like about it is how it pairs well with different color hangbags. I plan to use it with my orYany evergreen bags as well as the MZW navy Paris tote. It just looks very chic. Here is a pic....

Really going to sleep now .

Hi @stevieb @EdithEllenLily @Serendipity @NycVixen @1Professor @skyblue @handygal2 @Sister Golden Hair @gramygram
@foo foo shi shi @tough_kitty @shoekitty

Have any of you ever purchased any Isaac Mizrahi Live! clothing?  If so what is your opinion?  I just ordered a pair of full length pants.  They are still in process.

---

@Boehm Collector Only his shoes which I really liked.

NycVixen loves his sweaters.

---

@Sister Golden Hair .. I am hearing many positive statements about IM.... so this might be a line I will have to look at more closely.  

---

@Boehm Collector @Sister Golden Hair @Serendipity 

I just received my IM cardigan TSV in the Heather Platinum and it's perfect!! Even my DH remarked how great the quality is. He compared it to his Banana Republic sweaters which cost close to $100!!! It has a nice weight, falls perfectly and fit true to size. I like that it's not big in the waist so I can wear it without a belt as well.

Still waiting on the teal one but I may be ordering black as well. I love IM!! All my IM items are so well made for the price!! 

---

Hi @NycVixen .. would you happen to have the item # for it?  Is this the boyfriend cardigan that was a TSV not too long ago?

I like this Gucci Soho leather hobo ... but at $1980.00 it ain't happening.

In an alternate universe all the Handbag sisters would be sporting this bag! @Boehm Collector

---

@skyblue .. I wish we were in that alternate universe.  LOL

One in every color...

---

Oh  @stevieb .. I think you should get at least two in every color.  You never know when you might need a spare.

@stevieb and everyone: I had been carrying a Belle & Bloom bronze briefcase-style leather bag for most of the month because it went with my new metallic gold Talbots coat and I felt oddly glam. 

Yesterday I changed back into my Henri Bendel West 57th Satchel in Burgundy which I LOVE. The size, shape and gorgeous saffiano leather is wonderful. Since I can't find a photo of the Burgundy one, I'll post one of the new ones below in perforated saffiano...looks like olive. By the way, in looking for a photo to post I've been horribly distracted over on the Henri Bendel site in the sale section...must go back to check out those cute cosmetic bags again! I'll check back later on...

---

@EdithEllenLily I cannot go into Henri Bendel or browse their site online without becoming obsessed so I am refraining. Gorgeous bag!

---

Smart move @skyblue...

Does the Headmistress give out awards for good behavior? @stevieb

So, it's been a while since we talked about our current bag. Let's try to breath a little life into our old thread...  

WHAT'S EVERYONE CARRYING...?

@NycVixen @Boehm Collector @skyblue @1Professor @handygal2 

@EdithEllenLily @Serendipity @gramygram  @Sister Golden Hair 

---

@stevieb  and all.... I'm still carrying my Erin Dana backpack in black. It's become my go to bag when I don't need to carry a lot.

---

@NycVixen Can't wait to get mine Vix -- shipped! I'm glad I got the blush, too, so I'm not tempted by the expensive new Gili.  

---

@Serendipity  So glad it shipped!!!! When you get it the first thing you will notice is how nice the leather is. Then how substantial the hardware is. Then how lightweight it is. LOL.

Once you've taken off the wrappings, fill her up with a scarf etc. so you can see how well it sits when worn as a backpack. It will come packaged either almost flat or with a bit more packaging. This is how I store them as well; flat with the bottom turned a bit up so they don't take a lot of room. It was great to travel with them as well for this reason.

I don't usually tend to buy light colored bags like this one in blush in order to avoid color transfer on the leather. But with this one since it's a backpack it will be easy to wear and keep clean. 

---

@NycVixen Hmn. Good heads up about color transfer. I wear black a lot and rarely carry light colored bags. You know, like New Yorkers, LOL.  J/K. Just saw that other thread. I'm very excited about these. So the blue is 58, was it always, or did they reduce it? I can't recall.

---

@Serendipity  All the colors were originally $69 so the blue is reduced.  

LOL about the other thread. I don't usually vent but it was getting a bit old. 

---

@NycVixen Some of the moronic comments on that thread really chewed my... well, you know what they chewed... I might have to head on over there...

---

Hi @stevieb and @NycVixen .. which "other thread" are you referring to?
