We also paid a check out to The Playground for some non-fashion conversations, and found some terrific surprises in Dior. check out what else we dug up this week, we are thrilled to have you along on this edition of the PurseForum Roundup.
In Mulberry this week, the buzz is all about news of the resignation of CEO Bruno Guillon and what the future of the company will be without this controversial chief at the helm. fans of the brand will absolutely be enjoying to see what the future holds, particularly in pricing, in the months ahead. members are also revealing their purchases, of course – ideal off the bat, we saw that Mary79 managed to bag an Alexa in leopard. Xbabe82517 caught our attention with our two favorite words – instant reveal – and showed off another Mulberry “exotic” Alexa, this time the croc-embossed version in classic Oak. we all know that good things come in small packages, and Ser verified the point with her heart crucial fob. Also, be sure to check in her thread to see what she got to opt for it! And, much to the delight of her Mulberry family, KellyS27’s repair tale finally got its delighted ending – this stunning wallet, a real stunner in stunning goatskin.
In the jewelry Box this week, the hot topic was Machick333’s engagement ring upgrade. This ongoing project has been embarked on with the help of the exceptionally experienced ladies of the jewelry Box, and the new stone is a knockout. jewelry fans are weighing in on the setting choices, and we are all enjoying the process and can’t wait to see Machick333’s new ring when it is finally revealed.
The Jade thread continues to be, hands down, the busiest thread in the jewelry Box, with a lot more bangles and special collectors’ pieces popping up every day. Be sure to check out berniechocolate’s new bangle, as well as these sensational old crater disks that are destined to become earrings.
Our last stop in the jewelry Box was the very popular Layering and Stacking thread, where we love seeing the creative combinations our members put together, like this grouping from jenna_foo. Whatever your budget, this thread will give you lots of ideas for putting together a stack of your own, we promise!
The Playground, the home of the PurseForum’s non-fashion threads, supplied some interesting reading this week. The always-supportive cleaning Out the closet Thread in money Talks particularly resonated, because this task so typically requires much a lot more than just time and boxes. often a support team makes all the difference, and you will find a good one here if you find yourself a little bit stuck when it pertains to getting rid of things. The week also saw the start of a brand new thread on all things real Estate.
In up to The Minute, of course we are all sharing and hanging on to every bit of information about the missing Malaysian Airlines flight, and our prayers and thoughts go out to all who are awaiting news. PurseForum members from around the world check into this busy subforum each day to share their thoughts on this and lots of other current topics.
Sometimes pondering things you never pondered before breaks up the day nicely, and general discussion has plenty of material to do just that. This week, we joined those who are considering the question, Are great Pens Passé? Apparently, they are not, which, frankly, we found oddly comforting. Dooneybaby shared her collection and settled the matter for all of us!
Aren’t they fabulous!? Roundup readers know we love reveals, but we also love when members want opinions. We love to give ours (though actually being asked for them isn’t even required). In Dior we found ThisVNChick on the hunt for a new bag and in need of advice. What do you think – true red or turquoise? It’s not too late to weigh in. (Our choice: true Red). Be sure to catch the rest of ThisVNChick’s collection ideal here.
Scarlett shared a double reveal this week, and DiorifficLady shared her extraordinary shoes and bag, along with a peek at her invitation to the Dior show in Paris -this thread is not to be missed, we promise.

We wrapped up our check out with a stop in Coach, to see what spring colors are popping up in our members’ collections this week. We found a great saffiano Riley in a subtle shade of mint from munchkin_cat, and a crisp parchment Phoebe shared by grannytoabbi. AllyKat723 exchanged sea mist for mulberry and revealed her new Preston, and the color is scrumptious and best indeed. “Pretty and Pebbled” certainly perfectly describes iluvcoach’s new Bleeker crossbody, and we love the three zip compartments and pricepoint of this bag just as much as the color palette.
If you happen to be one of those people who’s on the fence about purple, stop by this thread and check out designer1’s new bag, one of the nicest versions of eggplant we have seen – just the ideal amount of pop makes this a terrific but fun neutral color. This drawstring tote looks fun and versatile, and the charming color works perfectly with this bag’s style.
