Bag and shoe selfie xox

Here is my bag and shoe selfie ???

Thanks for sharing Francine, such a sweet story. And I adore your style – always bright and fun.

Personally, I blame Mrs. PurseBop and the BopTalk community for my addiction to bags. Lol kidding, but you guys are the sweetest enablers..

My love for bags didn’t truly start until I met the magnificent Petite Malle early this year. It was love at first sight. Now I can’t stop.. the more I get, the more I want. It literally takes every ounce of self-control to stop myself from strolling into Louis Vuitton and buying 4 at once or a crocodile one. ???? I would also like to add that I believe Instagram plays a huge role in the “wanting more” frenzy.

I have a Chanel première watch and I never wear it… Thinking of selling it. The new ones are a little too classic for me. The H looks nice but the strap needs to be in another bright happy color for me!
I’m very picky about my watches. It has to be one that matches lots of outfits and a comfortable one. I wear my whitegold Balmain watch the most.

Whaw awsome shot and yes they’re super cool! Love it paired with skinny jeans even with white jeans in summer. I see lots of ladies in Antwerp sporting them with skirts, but that’s really not my style… The white with gold CC sneakers are awsome paired with your CDC, truly amazing!

when I’m having lunch with the girls, we always take pics of our bags (with drinks or sweets lol) here I am taking a pic of my friends bag ??? in the beginning we always felt a little ashamed of making pics in a full restaurant or on a terrace but now we’re over it… And we’re having so much fun!

Hello,
This is such a great story of a “great ” lady ! Francine is a younger colleague of me at the beauty school, but such an example to all of us. Like I told you before dearest friend “sky is the limit” , you will become “famous” !!!
I have a bag obsession, since I was a little girl. My first designer bag was a Navy blue Delvaux Brillant, got it from my parents for my 18years. If i would count all the bags I had since, it most be over 200 pieces. It’s strange to say but I’m not long in love with a bag…3-6 months and than I want another one. I sell them to buy another new one instead. So if you buy my preloved bags you are very lucky ! I had once a Chanel bag, but this isn’t me …I like more big shoppers like the neverfull GM and the Artsy. For the moment I have a Celine bag Addiction, certainly the phantom model is my favorit. Hope you love my new picture of the yellow one on Ig posted today.
Lots of love, Sophie (@coloursandbeautyathome)

Here with skinny jeans…

I love them! Wear them all the time, and is super comfy. Love yours super super @stylishsheba

I actually like them both, but not sure they are worth purchasing. The Hermes looks like a novelty and the Chanel will most certainly be overpriced.

Hello Color Inspiration!! Francine, I have so enjoyed following you over the past few months. Your photos are so bright, full of life and happy indeed. I adore all of your fashion selections and colorful combinations. My favorite photos are with your adorable little girls. Thank you for sharing your journey. I look forward to your photos everyday because I know they will put a smile on my face. Keep it up color queen. Xxx

Hi Francine. I have really enjoyed reading your interview and images. I have to say I find your style fascinating and totally unique to you. I love it completely. I was positive you had to be a colourist with that kind of style. I was over the moon when you followed me !! ….So my love of fashion was always there. My grandmother was a very stylish lady and always gave me tips and lessons on fashion and beauty from a very young age. I have an image of my mother in a ysl floor length gown at a party and I always wanted to be that stylish. My mum always recounts a story of me at the age of 6 all dressed up waiting to receive my first second hand bike. I had worn black and white stripy tights with denim shorts over the top. Sneakers and red top and put my hair in plaits with red ribbons, cool look for a 6 yr old!!! My mother took me shopping nearly every Saturday for clothes and I remember walking in London with my cousins in our fur jackets and looking at my mum and aunt in theirs. I was hooked. I used to get a new pair of shoes every week !! So that’s where it all started.
I went into Chanel yesterday and brought a pair of the cream and black leather espadrilles – I said don’t box them!! I’ll wear them now ! I giggled to myself. I’m still like that little girl that went home in her new shoes!!
Thank you Pursebop and Francine, I love Boptalk And friends on IG , such an amazing platform to express myself and meet such lovely kind people xxxx

Love to share my very first ‘designer’ bag, a magenta colored patent mulberry bayswater! Oh boy I LOVED that bag.

Hello everyone!! I’m excited to share with all of you a some of my precious little treasures. ✌?️

Mini puppy and mini purse

The Chanel is pretty but kind of “meh” for me, but the Hermes is so lovely and different! Especially if the strap came in many colors, you could really make that a unique accessory to your outfit or bag! I also like the vintage inspiration of men’s pocket watches for this just because I appreciate that time period when people treated these pieces as the heirlooms they are. ??

Congratulations on this unique bag. I love jiges and think they are so versatile! No idea though how to take care of suede. No sweat on it? My hands would be sweating when holding this bag!!!! Hahaha…I think you shouldn’t stress and just use it. That’s what I would do!

I don’t like it :-( And it reminds me of plume bag

Helloooo everyone! Sorry I am way late to this game. My name is Rami (IG: Kugzz) from Canada living in Montréal/Toronto. I am a huge bag lover and also passionate about music, art, FOOD, travel and all things beautiful. It’s a pleasure to meet you all. Happy bopping! xox

StyledGuy – such a nice thread! I really have always enjoyed the menswear from LV, but this is undoubtedly a standout collection. The Oriental vibe is not too costumey and I for one loved the scarves! It felt cohesive and I can see why your list would have everything…… ???

I just noticed that my picture didn’t download properly ?

Here we go again! Sorry girls!

First date with my boy in Laguna Beach – California. And first time wearing my beautiful summer sandals! ❤️
@someoverainbow

Its really great menswear show, colours and the detail are amazing

I am not sure I would wear a high top with skinny jeans, I would probably wear with jogging pants xx

I like it in a special finish, Prada’s soft leather is so beautiful to the touch, I would totally wear it with a midi skirt and heels, jeans – yep its growing on me, in the smaller size – I prefer the other image you have with them lined up. Prefer the other finishes to the bunny rabbit. I love Prada coats and the shape they use, always have always will. xxxx

Hapers Bazaar and Vogue go without mention, but the more I learn about Coco, the more I realize how much I don’t know! She lived such a fascinating life from growing up as an orphan, to her multiple love affairs and of course the rise of her empire. I can never get enough discovering every aspect of her life. Any read about Mademoiselle Gabrielle is fine for me ? currently on my coffee table…

Chanel sneakers – perfectly suitable for jeans and a cute top for a cas-look.
Nike sneakers – strictly for Lulu Lemon outfits ?
I love the look of Chanel sneakers and jeans. Certain ones even look great with Summer skirts and dresses as we’ve seen approved by KL on the runway ?

Not sure how I feel about this bag…may need to give myself a little more time to acquire lol. ?

Totally agree with Styled Guy on the Vegas shopping vibes, but as for New York, I must say I feel the opposite. First of all, there’s no place on EARTH that compares to Bergdorf Goodman ? I personally love how spread out the stores are. It forces you to walk around and discover further parts of the city you might otherwise miss. I particularly love exploring through the side streets of NYC (& Chicago!) to find cute little boutiques. I’m sure Paris is a dream…I’ve yet to dash the streets of The Champs-Élysées, but am hopeful that wil happen soon. Of all the places I’ve shopped throughout the US, I have to give props to my hometown Troy, MI. The Somerset Collection is one most beautiful, luxurious and pristinely maintained malls of any I’ve visited! Most people don’t realize how underrated Michigan is for luxe retail. I would definitely recommend Somerset to anyone who ever visits the state.
