My fav carry-alls are Bottega’s cabats. Timeless chic. I have so many collected over a decade ++ (they were all packed in my evacuation suitcase) & I have never ever tired of them. Been wearing them every day rotating them since Jan 7th ❤️

the title of this article gave me a good laugh haha.

the demellier black bag choice is so chic by the way, love love love. i'm still trying to find my way around a roomy bag, i naturally gravitate towards minis just because they're so darn cute (but i'm slowly realizing how unpractical they are). the polene cyme was my first venture and now i'm looking to upgrade into one that fits both my aesthetics & everyday practicality.

i was typing this as i was reading, and what do you know - my wishlist bag is the balenciaga rodeo bag, and there it is at the very end! i wanted the creamy almond color, but maybe it's my sign to snag it.

A minaudiere has its own power and place. And I also have a weakness for them. I find I’m more often grabbing an oversized, functional bag these days, but I do love a day clutch. Oh and I just looked up the creamy almond color and it’s fab. Such a Lily Van Der Woodsen vibe.

I think birkin looks the best when it's in a "used" condition, Blake nows what she's doing.. By the way your post are so addictive!

Agreed! Worn in and weathered is the best kind of Birkin. And thank you, that is SO kind!!
