@RRLJBJJ so pleased it worked out in the end. Patience and persistence usually pays off! Good luck with your Chanel search. I hope you manage to find it before the price increase.

@queenamber Congrats on the purchase! Can’t wait to see pics. I hope we can travel abroad soon so you can use it as a beach tote. I want nothing more than a holiday right now. The inability to travel is making me drown my sorrows with buying things that I don’t really need.

@MrsLucas I feel this way too! I have the urge to buy something but I’m unsure what. I’m considering buying another pair of Chanel ballerinas this weekend as I need to add more sensible shoes to my collection. I’m unable to wear heels in the way I used to.
What brands do you guys wear as your everyday shoes? I have lots of designer sneakers, boots and heels but not many flat girly shoes.

For the last week fews I've been eyeing the YSL Kate bag in white. It looks perfect for summer weddings and events. I've never bought a white bag before because I'm always worried it'll stain really quickly and ruin the leather. Does anyone have experience with white bags and preventing staining? Tips?

Collonil is a great protector and is the one recommended by Mulberry. I’ve used it for years and it hasn’t let me down (yet). I recently used Cadillac leather cleaner to remove colour transfer from a beige Chanel after forgetting to use protector and wearing it with jeans.

I prefer espadrilles because I find them more comfy, but I do like the ballerinas too :) they’re really classy and go with everything!
 
Currently pregnant and have been on the hunt for a good changing/mum bag. Wanted a backpack rather than a shoulder bag. Decided to treat myself to this bargain at Bicester today. It was £655, think it’s around £950 in selfridges! So happy with it! 😄

What was stock like for shoes at Prada? I’ve been meaning to make a Bicester trip for a while but not had chance. X

They had a few sandals out, can’t say I noticed a lot as I was there just to look at bags. (Sorry that’s not much help) x

oh I LOVE it!! What a bargain. I’ve been toying with this as a new possible mum bag but did worry about the size. Is it roomy inside?

this thread is so bad for my bank balance 😂

Yes I went for the biggest size and I think I’ll be able to get a lot in there! The sales assistant said there have been a few ladies buy them as changing bags.
Thought the pockets at the front would be super handy too.

Ooh did the Cadillac work? Which would you recommend?
 
My mum bought me a pair of Tod's loafers as I don’t have many “professional” shoes ☺ I just tried them on and they’re extremely comfy!! Does anyone else own a pair?

Has anyone seen the site Reloved Again.?Based in Chelsea, Anne Marie Gee sells pre loved items at realistic prices. Lots of designer bags, sunglasses etc. It’s worth a look.
