Love cognac colored leather accessories for fall… can’t wait to take mine back out of the closet :-)
Threadjack:
I have suffered with very dark circles under my eyes since birth (literally, I have dark bags under my eyes in my newborn photos). I am 28 years old, and in photos I often look older than my mom. I recently learned that some surgeons are using restylane to plump up the undereye skin and get rid of the circles. I’ve never had or considered plastic surgery before, but this sounds so promising. Has anyone had any experience with this? Known someone who had it done? I am torn between being beyond tired of looking tired and concern over injecting stuff so close to my eyes.
Thanks all!
No helpful info here, but I could have written this post. Same age as OP with same dark circles since birth. Add puffy undereyes that are inherited into the mix. Would be interested to know what options there are, as I’ve never heard of this treatment.
dark circles here too! i have been recommended more creams, gels, etc than I care to count. and have had about zero success. has anything helped you (other than really good cover-up…but i could probably use a better one of those too)?
The only cream that has been helpful for me (and admittedly mine are only so-so bad, not totally terrible) is the Origins EyeZing or something like that. I’ve recommended it here before, it’s got ginsing and caffeine and it does seem to make a difference (enough so that I notice when I run out).
Vitamin K is supposed to be really helpful too — so I am always on the lookout for anything that contains that.
I have the EyeZing, and you’re right, it helps a little. But even with layering EyeZing over concealer I still look like I need some sleep.
Lemon-aid by benefit is good for coverup, I also like erase paste by benefit (which is also handy for blemishes.
Have you tried StriVectin?
…you mean lanvin? ;-)
Like the colour of this bag, hate the design. V old fashioned & frumpy, IMO.
I wouldn’t buy it – the color is nice but the price is too high for this brand, in my opinion. I saw a similarly conceived but much better Cole Haan bag recently at a store, almost bought — much better for the price.
Not sure if this one at Zappos is the same exactly, because I remember it being a lighter brown, similar to the bag featured here, but the construction was gorgeous. Much better bang for my buck!

Is this the Dillard’s store brand? The price point of all this Antonio Melani stuff always seems very high for the quality. Looks good in pictures, but in the store it never does.
Looks like Anya Hindmarch knock off.
Indeed.
Yep….
I think I had this bag in the 8th grade, with a magnet closure. I do still kinda like it though.
adore the cognac, just bought myself a fab tory burch for fall in cognac…..hate the bag’s (lack of) style….
