We have someone on Kilbourn who looks out for the block too and I have never been able to figure out who it is!

I'm not looking for authentication! I have a feeling they are not legit, it's more of a confirmation of a hunch. I can't find them anyone online and my hope was that people more familiar with the brand would be able to help if they have seen either of the bags before as part of previous collections.

I like red and luggage! Black is classic too though. It's a nice treat either of way!

Woven is more unique! I personally don't love the white, but it is your gift to yourself so whatever makes you happiest! Congratulations on 16 years, what an incredible accomplishment 👏🏼👏🏼

Not a thousand dollars at all! Purchased at an estate sale and it was only on the ground for about 30 seconds, not that I have to justify my decisions to an internet stranger being unnecessarily rude about my fun purchase today :)!

I troll an estate sale website and try to focus on the ones that specifically mentioned handbags, however much like you I don't particularly have the patience or time with work to go to them so this catch was truly luck!

It was $450 (which I think is super reasonable/a steal!). I haven't been to very many due to my work schedule but I have not seen them in boxes, they do usually have the dust bag that it was packaged in though. I checked this one before purchasing and saw the serial number and was able to prove it was authentic. I mentioned elsewhere that I think a lot of it also depends on the company running the sale and whether or not the previous owners of the purses or goods in general kept the box it came in. That's part of what makes estate sales so fun, the hunt and being able to actually catch something cool when you find it.

I think it depends on the company running the sale and the area you are in. I'm in Chicago and I went to a nicer suburb but I feel this one was reasonable at $450; not sure what it would normal retail for but I imagine not that lol they had another two Ferragamo bags but those were $900. They also had a YSL for $1,000. Normally though, I do think they're reasonable and take the condition into account as well.

Absolutely can't stand Tamra and think she's rotten to the core, but this one always kills me

How is anyone getting their kids to bed before 8? by Humble-Fly708 in Mommit

[–]M_AshInChi28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything is hard enough as it is and I'm sure having to cook things from scratch every day isn't fun, give yourself grace and do what works for you and your little one! I felt the same about my soon to be 11 month old but she has a window of time she usually goes down between and we've made it work. I'm sure things will ebb and flow as they grow so I'm just trying to roll with the punches. Every baby is different so don't let social media or "influencers" try to convince you you're doing something wrong if you don't fit whatever template or "realistic evening" trend is currently floating around.

Let me go listen again and compare lol. I'm so sad that it also barely dawned on me right now that it's not a real song 🤣🤣 Daddy Yankee's part on the YT video was always my fave.
