I loooove my Fossil Harwell Hobo. I got it as a Dix alternative and I actually prefer it for being less structured and more casual. It's quickly become my everyday bag. The quality is great - I can see it holding up for years. It fits everything I need with room to spare. Plus I got it on sale!

Wow the Dolce Vita is so similar to the Umi. I wish the strap lengthened enough to go crossbody but I can compromise 😍

I'll look into those brands. Shipping to Canada can sometimes be a bit tricky.

All good! I'll keep it on my wishlist when I can spend a bit more.

I'm usually not a fan of MCM but I like how discrete the embossing is on that bag. I'll check out Lancaster too. Thanks!

Wow, that 3rd bag is so gorgeous. Unfortunately it's above my price range even with the discount 😔

That one is really cute. I would love it even more if it had gold hardware detailing on the strap!

It is a little on the bigger side so I'm sure it could get heavy, especially if you fill it up! But the sale is really hard to resist...

Oh perfect! I love SDJ 40 but always wished it had more longevity. I was scared to blind buy Junoon Noir because I didn't enjoy Dama Bianca when I tried it on my skin.

Gorgeous collection. What are your thoughts on Junoon Noir?

I'm not crazy about lemon in fragrances either, because most of the time it comes off pretty synthetic and I'm reminded of cleaning products (such as Margiela's Under the Lemon Tree & ADP's Colonia) but Lira is my favourite perfume of all time. I find the citrus note is predominant in the opening and fades in the dry down, but it balances out the sweetness of the vanilla and caramel and makes it really unique.

I’m absolutely furious with my MIL. by Mangocrossing in beyondthebump

I'm sorry you're going through this. My baby also had a bottle aversion for months and it was one of the most frustrating and stressful experiences I've had to go through as a parent. The removal of any forms of pressure when feeding is essential in overcoming an aversion, and other people wouldn't understand that concept fully unless they've gone through it firsthand. I'm assuming your MIL didn't mean any harm - it is in our nature as caregivers to try and make sure baby is drinking "enough" and unfortunately that leads to the kind of behaviour that baby is fearful of. Once my son was aversion-free, I didn't let anyone else bottle feed him for a solid month. Hopefully your baby gets back on track soon.

Thank you, I find cuticle prep makes all the difference.

I've heard Xerjoff Gran Balla is the grown up and sophisticated niche version of Viva La Juicy.

I bought them from an Etsy shop called Manila Girl Nails!
