Little Black Bag

[HelloLeilani]

Someone really needs to trade me 4-5 cheap things for my Madden clutch before my bag closes tomorrow morning, so I can go have fun in the $12-$18 price range. I don't even want to trade up, I have a few earrings/bracelets/necklaces I want and nail wraps. LOL.

Awesome stuff! Even though you don't care for it, I think you look pretty fabulous with those patina and silver hoops! So pretty next to black hair. You have the nail wraps I lust after, btw! hahaha!

FYI, here are the RJ Graziano stack bracelets, for $40 on HSN. They have some good reviews and seem good for a smaller wrist (like mine). Some of the rest of the RJ Jewelry looks nice too. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

They are yellow, at least that's what it says on the zappos site. I'm getting them in my bag that just shipped...we'll see how I like the color...

Also my favorite thing i've gotten are the cheap $14 gypsy earrings and my Topeka blush /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Just goes to show the smaller things are sometimes better!

UGH I still want that hobo bag!!! Is it sad I want another bag? this is my last chance before I leave for 3 months...but I've also already gotten 4 bags in a month haha

That bag is worth 50 in my eyes though! I dont' even care about trading for good things...I just want the bag!

Also I forgot to show my final bag!



I'm pretty darn happy with it, I'm so glad I got earrings because I only have 3 pairs (and those are the ones I got from LBB!) besides the ones I wear everyday. I got my wallet and glasses like was planned /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Everything is always so much bigger than I think it is!! I pictured it WAY smaller!

I"m trying so hard to talk myself out of opening another bag right now, I just really want to try my hand at trading and see what I can get.

ME TOO! I really want either that hobo bag or the jewelry stand...ugh. I couldn't get my hands on either of them last time...the with the jewelry stand i'll get 4 items in my bag. But I do really want that hobo bag too... I also want that  $66 coin necklace...it's so gorgeous and simple. Gah. decisions! I shouldn't even open a bag though haha but this is my last chance. after today I won't have time to trade for the full 7 days because it takes them a week to get it to me and i'm leaving on the 25th!

What are you thinking of starting with if you decide to open a bag? We can always cancel I guess if we change our mind haha

I like those bracelets and some of the other Graziano jewelry, except the strange and wild color combinations usually make me think, "What could I wear this with?" I suppose if I'm wearing black or white (or both) they would be the pop of color. But most of my dressy clothes are colorful already and that jewelry would clash.

Actually I think a lot of the clutches on LBB seem big. Since you have to carry it, I think in general clutches should be small. Large bags should have a handle or strap. At least those are my preferences.

I got my bag today! I'll post pictures sometime this week- I feel like we should have a separate thread for LBB pictures so they're easily accessible. I was really excited about that 'ZAD/AllTheRage collar but it feels a bit restrictive and weird on my neck, though I think that's kind of a given with collar necklaces. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

awww you never know! and i only had 2! the glasses and the earrings and i had to trade $50 (2 nice items) for those earrings! but I got REALLY lucky when I got the bird ones, someone just randomly didn't want them and accepted my crappy necklace and then someone else REALLY wanted them and gave me the bcbg crossbody for them!

It's all about what people want and don't want (especially those who just open their bags!)

That satchel is really cute!! I REALLY want the hobo one...but I feel bad getting another bag since now i'm getting the belted satchel one. The hobo one is just so me though, I can imagine myself using it almost everyday. Which also means If I do get that bag that I wont' be trading much this round...I dont' think i'll give it up for anything! I offered up to $130 for it with no luck last time...and their are only 2 left in the gallery!

oooo i want to see! yeah that's why i returned the hammered segmented one I got. It was cute but it was uncomfortable to wear...i think it's the metal.
