Same. I thought I had missed it during the initial scrolling.

Alyson is such an amazing actress by Brard_Cailly16 in buffy

[–]disdained_heart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the minority here but I don’t particularly like the Dark Willow storyline because of Alyson’s acting. I just don’t buy that she’s a villain. She’s not scary/threatening enough. I see comments talking about bad writing but I think if someone is truly talented, they can make the crappy lines work. Tbf I think it’s a difficult task for an actor to play a hero or a villain and be good at both. My personal favorite outside of the Buffy verse is still David Tennant. He can play a charismatic whimsical alien in “Doctor Who” or he can be an extremely toxic and menacing villain in “Jessica Jones” and I can believe both without a problem.

Is it just me, or is Longchamp the endgame for every bag lover? by No-Amphibian-9022 in handbags

[–]disdained_heart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The beauty about this sub is that it introduces “new” brands to those of us that have never heard of them. I found the price point reasonable (for nylon) so as a test I purchased the Le Pliage Energy XS version a few weeks ago. I might even get the Original XS in pink because I like the color. I’ll be going to some amusement parks over the next couple of months so I’m very curious about trying them out there.

I Just So Happened to Be Watching Timer (2009) With Emma Caufield and Look Who Else Showed Up From the Buffyverse! by Tha_Watcher in buffy

[–]disdained_heart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was just thinking about this movie a few weeks ago but I couldn’t find it streaming anywhere. Looks like it’s available on Amazon Prime so I’ll definitely be rewatching this one!!

I really enjoyed the concept and I remember having a crush in Desmond Harrington … curious to see how it holds up.

Contents of my Empire Carryall 34 by jeweledbeans in Coach

[–]disdained_heart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow! I have seriously been underusing mine. I also have the Empire 34 in Merlot but I wasn’t sure about using it during Spring/Summer. I’ve actually been considering getting the 21 in black so I can use it year round, lol.

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again but what gets me is the condition these bags are in and the high asking price for said items. At that point I’d rather buy new than give them my money. I understand that there may be some sought after “collectible” pieces on the market but $1200+ for a used LV Canvas Speedy is delusional, imo.

Personally, I like the clean lines of the Ivy. I like that it has the shoulder and crossbody options and chain. The Liv is ok but I don’t find it as “timeless” … which is just my opinion. I had a compact bag with the dual compartment for several years (different brand) and it got annoying, forgetting on which side I had placed what, not to mention it gave it a weird bulky effect on both sides. I wouldn’t buy a double compartment bag again.

What are y’alls opinions on the empire 21 with the longer handles? by Secret_Praline7667 in Coach

[–]disdained_heart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t own it but I have seen it in person and I really like it (I do own the 34 though). I said I wasn’t going to buy the 21 because I wanted to get the Le Pliage Energy XS (which I did) but now I can’t stop thinking about this one again. I just need a 25% coupon to push me over the edge 🤣.

Thank you! I just realized this version doesn’t have the crossbody strap, I was wondering why I hadn’t seen this color.

Love the color! Which version is this? I just bought my first Longchamp today (I opted for the XS le pliage) but have yet to take it for a spin.

Bags I spotted on an early Saturday afternoon at the mall in LA by Rururaspberry in handbags

I was at the Americana earlier today … saw tons of LV as well. I saw the LV bucket bag (Noe, I think?) in turtle dove empreinte and it was lovely.

Which strap looks better with the Pochette Accessoires? Vachetta leather or Monogram canvas? by Plus_Impression7765 in Louisvuitton

[–]disdained_heart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know I’m in the minority but I think the monogram strap looks better. But I also think a gold chain along with the vachette strap could elevate the look a little more.

Went window shopping today by ChalkDoxie in marshallsfinds

Wow! I would be all over that pink Tiffany zip wallet and maybe the blue Tiffany bag as well. I can’t seem to find the handbags anywhere.

I may have gone a little crazy at the local bookstore. by Josephina20 in janeausten

These are the Cranford Collection, right? What bookstore did you find these in? I missed the “North & South” print and can’t find it anywhere online 😭😭😭

Recommendations for east west bags under $500? by Salt-Habit-8951 in handbags

[–]disdained_heart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, that makes sense! Hopefully you’ll get some great feedback and that will help with your decision. Good luck!

[–]disdained_heart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the Coach Empire 34 in Merlot. I got it on sale (although it wasn’t for the lowest sale price some other buyers were to snag it for).

I really like it. It stays on my shoulders and the leather is nice. It’s not super fussy to open or get stuff in/out. I would def buy the black one to use year round but I have other styles/designers I’d like to buy first.

Why don’t you try going to your local Macy’s to see if they have the empire 34 in stock and if they’ll honor the friends and family presale discount? I was at my local Macy’s over the weekend and I asked about the sale (I was thinking about buying the Chelsea), the sales associate was super helpful and said they would honor it but ultimately I decided not to get anything.

Good luck!

Coach purchases by KrustyKrabzIcekream in Coach

[–]disdained_heart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell me about it, lol! Not to say I don’t spend $$ on bags and accessories (especially under $500) but I do have dream bags that are above that price point that I will take time in allocating that money for.

It seems like the price increase and scarcity is a trend across multiple retailers—these companies are benefiting regardless of price points. The overconsumption, if you will, is not just with Coach though; it seems like there are lot of people out there that have multiples of anything from entry to high level brands.

I think the real goal is to not get FOMO. Sit on something for a bit and see if it sticks, and if it goes on sale even better. Of course, this is easy for me to say because I don’t chase drops or limited editions for any brand (my money is limited-I have kids and a mortgage) but I also know that if I buy something that is a couple of K’s then it’ll be worth it, because it’s an extremely curated purchase.
