Coffee Break: Lounge Tote

Net-a-Porter is offering an extra 15% off select items — including this fabulous tote bag from Toteme. (There are suede versions with an even lower price, as well as handbags and more totes.)
This looks like a great, classic bag — the whipstitch trim is different enough to make it unique and luxe but not so distinctive you can't wear the bag all day every day, and I like the “belt” detail. It's 5.9″ deep, 11″ tall, and 17.3″ wide.
The bag was $1690, and is currently marked down to $1014 — try code FLASH15 on it.
Also: love this red Versace bag with a vintage vibe.
Psst: we just updated our picks for the best luxury bags for work!

what is your preferred messaging platform for things you’re tangentially involved with? an alumni group i’m with uses whatsapp, i’ve heard of other groups using discord and so forth. the whatsapp notifications are kind of annoying.
I don’t join messaging groups for things I’m only tangentially involved with. To me that’s what FB groups are designed for – you can check it or not check it at your leisure, and you don’t get notifications. My husband uses Discord for some pickup sports groups.
E-mail unless you’re a small local group or a friend (then you can text).
I hate checking group me, band, and the millions of other platforms. I just want to look in one place (and even still, have about 4-5 e-mail accounts I need to monitor).
email, hands down. I train gmail to keep all that stuff out of my primary inbox and then I check it when I feel like it, vs. annoying notifications.
I love the World Cup memes and human interest stories. What is an accent (local or from abroad) that you like listening to?
And if you speak (American) English with a mid-Atlantic accent (so I think I sound like a newscaster — fairly neutral), in what languages do we have an accent that is considered attractive (if any). I took Latin in school and then a couple years of very basic Spanish (which I was told was with Colombian pronunciation, but who knows really?).
My car’s Siri is an Australian male voice.
Scottish and Australian accents are delightful. I’m from the Deep South (like, my northern husband has a hard time understanding my dad sometimes deep south). My best friend from high school (so, equally southern) married a Scottish guy. I don’t think either family understood half of what the other was saying at the wedding (but it was a great time). I still need to be around him for a few days before I understand everything without having to think about it. Interestingly, neither I nor most of my high school friends have very noticeable Southern accents (someone once told me I sounded like I was from nowhere). My theory is no one on the TV we watched growing up had accents, so it counterbalanced whatever accent we would have picked up from our parents.
Has anyone here done a moxi laser treatment with micro needling? I am considering for old acne scarring. The nurse described the downtime as your skin feeling like sandpaper for 5 days and that makes me a little nervous!
present for a very youthful 60 year old woman. $100-$150. Preferably somewhere she can return or exchange easily. She plays tennis and gardens and is generally very vain so thinking maybe products. have bought tennis and athletic clothes before so looking for something else.
