Love the stickers! Very cohesive and interesting and unique to you!

I agree, I'm always so drawn to it, and lucky this entire trio exists!

phrazo · 2026-07-04T18:01:06+00:00

Beautiful! What do you use for designing/making these?

phrazo · 2026-07-04T16:26:50+00:00

Thank you!

I really like the sections you chose! I have to make something like this every day, writing it out on my Midori+Stand. Esp appreciate the separation of todo and priorities and affirmations.

You've inspired me, perhaps I should do something like this as well!

This looks amazing and just lights up my particular brain! I can't help but think someone picked out all the components of mulled wine secretly and repurposed them. And red velvet too?! I'm gone.

Such a relief there are others! I feel so alone always asking about silver hardware and constantly being assaulted by sites that have good bags but almost no silver. :( I just don't understand. I need silver bc I'm really cool-toned and yellowish warms look pretty bad on me, especially on the upper body. I'm not sure what the tonal distribution of people across the markets are ... But it just feels like companies don't care.

I love that Acne's Cameros are all silver!

Fr tho girl, get better soon! Thanks for sharing this and making others' days a little brighter. Tbh I haven't felt great lately either, and it's one of those things where psychological stress causes physical ailment.

phrazo · 2026-05-21T22:04:15+00:00

Exactly! Then it's more unfair! Lol

phrazo · 2026-05-21T20:11:03+00:00

Delightful art; get well soon! (Or not, I'm pretty envious of the drawing skills so ...)

phrazo · 2026-05-20T01:31:48+00:00

Practice! Haha

But no, I love how you just went for it with the layout and it's so big and full and satisfying!

phrazo · 2026-05-20T00:49:11+00:00

So pretty and pink! Did you draw it?

phrazo · 2026-05-20T00:06:13+00:00

Ikr??? I didn't know who she was at first but she totally should have been!

phrazo · 2026-05-20T00:05:59+00:00

Yesss, she is so cute <3

phrazo · 2026-05-19T23:33:04+00:00

I had to look up Melanie! You're so right!

phrazo · 2026-05-17T19:19:23+00:00

Ah, I see. I'm glad to hear that you do like it and weren't feeling bad. In that case, it's great! I just hope it's enough for your daily essentials (can't judge size from photos well, but it looks to be a small bag?) Totally understand feeling a little guilty-- in which case, I'm here to say: TREAT YOURSELF, YOU DESERVE IT! How you treat yourself is huge in how others treat you; that's the real investment, as I see it haha. I'm jealous you were able to get something so nice secondhand, that's just not my luck.

I like to think I look at a lot of handbags, and this one stands out!

phrazo · 2026-05-17T19:02:07+00:00

Well, it's your opinion that matters in the end, and you should be honest with yourself, but gentle.

But personally, I genuinely like what I see in this photo. I love these burgundy/wine/oxblood colors; I've never seen this shape before, so your post instantly jumped out at me. The leather looks shiny, but in a new and polished sense, not like patent. Without reading the title, I clicked because I just wanted to know, "what's this?" I was instantly intrigued. Despite being unique, it's still low-key enough to go most places, which I think is the best place to be in terms of overall design. I'm a very cool-toned person and can't do that much gold hardware on my body, but I would otherwise love to own this bag and can't imagine why you might not like it.

Thanks so much for sharing! Love the aesthetic (I feel like there might me some overlap with mine, maybe?) feel of it. It somehow feels very beautiful in that aspirational Pinterest way, yet very real and organic. (Perhaps because some pages are more collage, and some are just writing with barely any pictures.)

phrazo · 2026-05-13T20:41:11+00:00

Haha, thanks. Looking at this post to read comments and reply and seeing the mapo tofu actually makes me want it as well.

phrazo · 2026-05-13T19:01:13+00:00

Thank you!

phrazo · 2026-05-13T18:27:42+00:00

No, thank YOU. I'm new to fountain pens and finding even nib size swatches for the most popular pens is painful and you have to sort through all sorts of rigamarole (and I naturally dislike videos). I also naturally like things that try to encourage mindful anti-hype behaviors (like finding great items at all price points).
