This is the first I've heard about it. I am so happy for you!!! Wow, things are moving along so quickly for you! You are one amazing gal! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-investment-bag#post-93377 Sat, 12 Sep 2009 17:41:10 +0000 shiny 93377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, that is cute! I've had my eye on this BCBG bag for awhile now, but I think it's too heavy (I don't want a bag to be heavy before I've even put anything into it!). It's very cute though:</p> <p><a href="http://www.bcbg.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3678595&#038;cp=2769196.2840702&#038;clickid=cat_leftnav_txt&#038;parentPage=family" rel="nofollow">http://www.bcbg.com/product/in.....age=family</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-investment-bag#post-93370 Sat, 12 Sep 2009 17:22:59 +0000 bella 93370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great bag Tanya and congratulations on the post-doc.

I will try to get that Coach moisturizer.</p> <p>As for yellow bags, if I could get a nice one this would be my choice:</p> <p><a href="http://www.lunaticshopper.com/Shop-Womens/Accessories/Kooba/Kooba-Ryder-Tote-in-Yellow-p7535154.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.lunaticshopper.com/.....35154.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-investment-bag#post-93361 Sat, 12 Sep 2009 17:09:43 +0000 shiny 93361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oops, meant to add something about Maryland!</p> <p>Congrats and I hope you enjoy MD! It's a very nice area - I have family on the eastern shore (very pretty) and I used to work for a company HQ'd in the DC area as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-investment-bag#post-93359 Sat, 12 Sep 2009 17:05:22 +0000 shiny 93359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That bag has "Tanya" written all over it! I love all the Kooba bags. I don't own one (yet) but the leather is so nice! Enjoy!</p> <p>As for keeping it clean, I use Coach leather moisturizer (NOT cleaner) on my optical white bag and my cream coach bag. It did remove blue denim dye from the former. It works great on most of my bags, but for some odd reason, not so great on my banana bag. That bag seems to attract dirt like no tomorrow, especially the handle. I don't understand why - something about the leather I guess. So I may be in the market for another yellow bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-investment-bag#post-93357 Sat, 12 Sep 2009 16:59:26 +0000 marianne 93357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations, Tanya! I'm so glad to hear you're excited about the job. You're inspiring in so many ways </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-investment-bag#post-93350 Sat, 12 Sep 2009 16:39:19 +0000 Tanya 93350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all once again! I might go and ask the cobbler about spraying it with some protector and I'll keep it away from new dark jeans.</p> <p>Tam, Maryland is still on the East Coast, but much more south then Boston. I will be living and working right outside Washington DC. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-investment-bag#post-93274 Sat, 12 Sep 2009 09:16:02 +0000 Louise 93274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The bag's a beauty x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-investment-bag#post-93267 Sat, 12 Sep 2009 06:21:59 +0000 yublocka 93267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya I'm thrilled that you got a great position! And 6 months sounds like just enough time for some recovery and then to help you get set with the move!!! Is Maryland far from Boston (which direction??) Yes I am geographically challenged!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-investment-bag#post-93258 Sat, 12 Sep 2009 05:40:59 +0000 Sihaya 93258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya - great bag and congrats on your post doc position. How cool. You have much to celebrate this year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-investment-bag#post-93254 Sat, 12 Sep 2009 05:31:35 +0000 cciele 93254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You should definitely protect it with multiple coats of something like Wilson's TLC spray or Kiwi Protect-All. If you do get some denim transfer (ugh), DO NOT use leather conditioner to clean it; that could seal the dye onto the leather. Start with a leather cleaner like Lexol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-investment-bag#post-93245 Sat, 12 Sep 2009 05:13:10 +0000 Angie 93245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear you. I have three cream bags and I *am* careful with them. My dark jeans don’t rub off onto anything anymore, so that’s sorted, but when they did, I did not wear my cream bags with those jeans. Also, I am careful of where I put my bag down – it’s like being careful when you wear a cream trench. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-investment-bag#post-93232 Sat, 12 Sep 2009 04:52:23 +0000 Tanya 93232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No Angie, it has just arrived earlier today, so have just been looking at it and admiring it.</p> <p>I am actually quite nervous about taking it out to play. Is there some treatment that I could get to repel stains? How do you keep your cream bag clean? I am especially nervous about having the dye rub of my dark denim on it. I wear a lot of very dark rinse denim, and this week I have a couple of light colored tops that I need to deal with since the dye rubbed on them. I really hope it gets out in the wash and I am scared of the same thing happening to the bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-investment-bag#post-93227 Sat, 12 Sep 2009 04:46:40 +0000 Angie 93227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And you should be in love, Tanya! It's KILLER and a keeper for life :0)</p> <p>Have you taken it out to play yet? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-investment-bag#post-93216 Sat, 12 Sep 2009 04:33:52 +0000 RoseandJoan 93216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great bag and great news about the job. Whats the scale of the bag when you are wearing it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-investment-bag#post-93207 Sat, 12 Sep 2009 04:23:17 +0000 Tanya 93207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much ladies!</p> <p>I actually haven't posted anything about my job search, that's why you haven't seen it. I got a great postdoc position that will be starting in 6 months. It is in Maryland, so I will be moving to a warmer climate. In the meantime I will be working as a postdoc in my current (old) lab, to get my current research wrapped up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-investment-bag#post-93184 Sat, 12 Sep 2009 03:44:28 +0000 cciele 93184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The leather looks so smooshy and pettable.
