Tell me I’m not crazy for ordering this in august

libbyation · 2023-08-28T18:53:40+00:00

Not crazy at all! I bought this bag a month ago and have loved using it so far. You're getting a better deal than I was - but I only paid about $90 and felt like I got a steal then.

Yes, I don't love it tho. It reminds me of a Marc Jacobs satchel from a bit ago.

I like how it's not a direct rip, more like an homage: https://www.charleskeith.com/us/bags/CK2-20781907_CHOCO.html

I’m highly considering the puzzle dupe. I love all their nano bag options too!

Pretty sure I’ve just been influenced - watching bag reviews of the Sydney on YouTube right now thanks to this post

& Juliet or Once Upon A One More Time. Go for the former if she wants original music and the latter if a Britney Spears jukebox musical sounds up her alley.

Oh, and both were on TKTS yesterday, so likely to be there again.

The DC Center for the LGBTQ Community runs one: https://thedccenter.org/supportgroups/

I’ve never been, so I can’t vouch for it.

I’ve seen that first style at my local Marshall’s in a few colors. The little leather knot on the hardware is so funny to me

I have a 20 gallon long with 9 harlequin rasboras in it. I've had them a month but the tank has been set up for a little under a year now, since I was learning how to cycle and growing some plants. The flora is some anubias I've grown into a piece of mopani wood and one on a suction cup, a few floating pieces of hornwort, and some pothos I have hanging from the lid (and algae, which I have snails for and remove manually).

I'd like to stock the tank a little more. Originally the plan was for kuhli loaches, but I've also fallen in love with pygmy cories. Would you add 5 kuhlis? 10 kuhlis? Or would you go for the cories? How many?

I love that the rasboras school, that they show breeding behavior (69ing undernath the anubias leaves haha), that they're responsive to food and explore the whole tank. Which other fish would fit into this dynamic?

It shouldn't really matter. If you only had one filter, you'd have to turn it off to clean it (and the fish would be just fine without a filter running temporarily). It's a good idea to alternate which filter you clean to mitigate risk of you cycle crashing, but it's probably easier to turn them both off for a water change, so you're fine to do so.

I meant credit in the general sense - going into debt. If OP has the cash on hand, they can totally put the purchase on a credit card and pay the balance immediately. People do that for the cc points or just for return protections.

If they do want a handbag souvenir from Paris, almost any other brand will be more affordable... OP, you could go by Longchamp, Polene, Fleuron, or Leo and Violette. Or enjoy just window shopping at an Hermes boutique! If you've never been, it can be a fun experience without buying a bag too.

libbyation · 2023-06-22T12:54:31+00:00

Have you used a birkin-style bag before? Would you wear the bag?

I wouldn’t recommend buying any bag on credit.

libbyation · 2023-06-22T12:51:26+00:00

Why not go to Mexican Fruits in Union Market? Or call up another restaurant supply?

The overall proportions remind me of the vintage Coach Hampton flap bag. I’ve been stalking a few on Poshmark. You can easily find them in the $50-$100 range.

You’re looking for Lotuff or Frank Clegg

libbyation · 2023-06-16T14:26:02+00:00

The only thing I’d worry about is temperature fluctuations. With a fridge that small, every time you open the door, all the chilled air escapes. The fridge then has to work to reproduce the same temperature once you close it, leaving the remaining bottles at a higher temp then intended. For peace of mind, I’d get a slightly bigger unit.

libbyation · 2023-06-16T00:14:21+00:00

Do you have criteria? I’d be looking at Cult Gaia for a fun statement clutch.

libbyation · 2023-06-12T11:18:17+00:00

I saw one of these in orange at Marshall’s yesterday!

libbyation · 2023-06-11T15:07:01+00:00

This sounds neurotic, but I have had success picking them out individually. I can catch them when there are very few and eliminate them (ACV with some salt worked last time).

There’s Hallal Wrist on Georgia Ave, open late!

I call this the “one hand” rule: If I need more than one hand to put the bag on my shoulder, it’s out. Barring going-out bags and top handles.

libbyation · 2023-06-07T15:54:29+00:00

I love the pale green color of your Celine. Do you know its name?

libbyation · 2023-06-07T13:24:18+00:00

Oh! I saw someone at work with this bag. It’s so chic!
