  5. The last time I had a quilted bag, it was a faux Chanel in 1983 or so. I'm still traumatized by that.

  6. I have cream color Miu Miu, and it's for all weather! Great selection, darling, and I like YSL, Miu Miu, and Old Navy.
    Have a wonderful Monday evening,

  8. Yes yes yes to quilted bags! The Chanel 2.55 is iconic and the only designer who can even rival Chanel in quilted bags is Marc Jacobs who makes the classic quilted bag look modern and quirky. I also love the gold leather clutch, the Balenciaga goatskin bag and the Chanel wristlet is adorable.
