You have been greatly missed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-back-and-im-on-a-mission#post-414643 Thu, 01 Sep 2011 17:42:07 +0000 ruthe 414643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have missed seeing you in the forum.

You're the greatest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-back-and-im-on-a-mission#post-414559 Thu, 01 Sep 2011 15:44:11 +0000 bj1111 414559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hey, michelle, glad to see you back despite health challenges.</p> <p>have you considered a snakeskin or other print which has white/black elements or do you prefer more graphic black/white? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-back-and-im-on-a-mission#post-414558 Thu, 01 Sep 2011 15:42:47 +0000 annagybe 414558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's not sporty at all. It's pretty classic. It's 10 inches by 7 inches. Hard to tell if that compares to your existing bags. The color combination you want I saw a lot in the spring/summer lines, not so much in fall/winter. You might have to stalk some clearance sales. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-back-and-im-on-a-mission#post-414557 Thu, 01 Sep 2011 15:39:32 +0000 Michelle 414557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hellos to everyone. Gos it's good to be back!<br /> Anna, you're csuh a champion! The second one you posted is way out of my price range, but the first Kate Spade could work! My only concern is the size. It is much smaller than either of these two bags? And is it a super-sporty-looking piece? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-back-and-im-on-a-mission#post-414547 Thu, 01 Sep 2011 15:22:02 +0000 annagybe 414547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pricey but gorgeous</p> <p><a href="http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main/ProductDetail.jsp?FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374306418126&#038;PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524446415732&#038;R=846065088207&#038;P_name=Jason+Wu&#038;N=306418126&#038;bmUID=j8znucj" rel="nofollow">http://www.saksfifthavenue.com.....ID=j8znucj</a></p> <p>Base ivory, with a pocket in the front with the bottom 2/3 of the pocket black.

YAY! Great to hear from you!<br /> Isabel, I'm not really sure what would be best. My instinct says black with white accents or an even mix of the two, just because I want to use this during our Canadian winters, but I'm willing to be guided. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-back-and-im-on-a-mission#post-414519 Thu, 01 Sep 2011 14:59:07 +0000 Isabel 414519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Michelle, do you want more of a black bag with white trim/accent or vice versa ? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-back-and-im-on-a-mission#post-414515 Thu, 01 Sep 2011 14:55:40 +0000 Isabel 414515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAYYYYY !!!! I have missed you....and have been wondering about you. I also hope that your health is well and that it continues on the upswing. Unfortunately, I also have no bag tips. But I will be on the lookout now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-back-and-im-on-a-mission#post-414503 Thu, 01 Sep 2011 14:48:48 +0000 Queen Mum 414503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Michelle... you have been missed! I hope your health continues to move in the upward direction.<br /> No tips on bags, just wanted to say hi! I'll keep my eyes on the lookout for you though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-back-and-im-on-a-mission#post-414494 Thu, 01 Sep 2011 14:39:47 +0000 Michelle 414494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello ladies!</p> <p>It's been awhile! I was on ahealth-motivated hiatus for a time, but things are looking up and I'm back! Hope to get back into the swing of things soon. Hellos to all the new forum members I may have missed this month!</p> <p>Is it any surprise that I return to the forum with the bit between my teeth? I'm keeping my fall purchases quite streamlined this year, but one of the things I do want to continue is building my handbag collection (I've been adding one good quality bag to my collection for each season of the past year and a half or so). This time, I'm hell bent on finding a black and white bag. They've got to be out there somewhere!! May I request your help in finding some? I need one that's about medium sized with a strap drop that allows it to sit comfortably on my shoulder (anywhere from 10 to 16 inches is just about perfect). I prefer a zip closure, but will be flexible on that point. Has anyone, anywhere, seen something that could fit the bill? Any tips on looking on ebay or other cost-effective places? </p> <p>Many thanks, ladies, and I hope everyone's been well! </p>
