Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.

This post is brought to you by Bot #001. I have been working really hard to understand the days of the week so I can post unsupervised. Today is Taco Tuesday!! I know it is, because I was paying attention when @halibutherring said so.

Need a new handbag and thought with this whole turning 30 and upgrading my wardrobe thing, I’d try to seek out my first Nice handbag. Went in person to look at some of my shortlisted options yesterday and felt very meh about them. If I’m spending that much I want a soul connection! 💘 Back to the drawing board…

That 'meh' feeling is why I saved for so long for a classic Kate Spade one. NO REGRETS

Check out the Oroton sale stuff on their website!

Oooh, what was on your shortlist? I love handbags. I don't have many, I have a fancy going out on (Kate Spade), a work one (Coach), a fun one (Coach), a little going out one (Karl Lagerfield), a I-Don't-Know-Why-I-Bought-This-One (LV) and one I love so much but can't bring myself to use (Celine).

That sounds like a fab collection. I love Kate Spade. I had my eye on a few at Oroton and a couple at Coach! I think my mistake was I naturally go for the more structured, preppy style because it’s what I know (very me c. 2015), but I actually go for clothes that are a bit more casual cool these days so while the bags are beautiful they wouldn’t necessarily go. I’m now thinking maybe something more rounded or bucket style…
