Because my SECOND method of coping with stress is

[Deleted]

Shopping, come give me opinions. 

1.  Running training devices (C/P from H&F)

I know they are seemingly unrelated, but the impetus is I need a heart rate monitor and I want one that will guide me towards heart rate zones.  I run with my iPhone, it doesn't bother me (I will run with it regardless) so the Garmin GPS features would be nice to save data or when my iPhone runs out - all the time on halves - but the Pear seems to offer more heart rate coaching with less effort from me. And frankly, the 610 - though not the monstrosity earlier Garmins were - still seems really complicated.  pearsports.com/shop/pear-mobile-rock-n-roll-marathon-plan-armband.html www.runningwarehouse.com/descpage-GF610SE.html

2.  Wallets. 

I got the Proenza Schouler PS1 black. Even though 75% of you hated it, Miso and Anita Blake did not.

Now I need a matching wallet. I like this one. Do you? What about the color a would you maybe go pink?

I love my Garmin, but I have an old one that doesn't do anything related to tracking heart rate.

And I adore that wallet. It's significantly out of my price range for a wallet, but it's really cute.

$785 for a fucking wallet, lol!

Lets not concentrate on cost please.   Can we just indulge me in my coping mechanisms?

I like the birch and raspberry colors.

More than Purple Rain? Green is out, it's not a color that brings me joy. 

Oh! Birch is brown. Also a no go.  The bag is black.

I keep reading that Garmins are the best.

[gretchenindisguise]

I love it in yellow.

Also - why are you so stressed? It seems like lots of stress posts from you recently. All work stuff?

[SKP82]

I like the purple you posted.

I was wondering the same.

[snipsnsnails]

Don't get the matching wallet. Get a classic Celine lambskin (i prefer the fold over style as opposed to the zip around) in poppy red or the cobalt blue.

[missajane]

Garmins are good, but can be overpriced if you don't need all the features.

I like the lemon (it looks neon green on my laptop) and the blue.

[softspot]

Garmins are awesome, but I'd really like the Pear talking to me. I need encouragement. But Garmin's are the shit.

I like the pink, but I really like the mustard.

[poopedydoop]

I vote for mustard. 

[Deleted]

I like purple.

[snipsnsnails]

The Nestie formerly known as loaded, sadly. Then I left my gig to work in non-profit. :-p

[missajane]

Honestly, when I saw PS1 I thought we were talking playstations...

Seriously though Elle, if you ever need a poor person to pick out expensive items you have links for, just let me know.  I enjoy shopping vicariously through those that have the money I don't.

[cereal K]

i think i'd want the wallet to be a different style than the bag.

but if you want the styles to match, i vote yellow.

[tacokick]

I love the wallet in all the colors

[Deleted]

I am not opposed to an unmatching wallet, but it has to have a chain and double as clutch/pocketbook.

[Doc_Lobster]

I like lagoon. I have a fixation with that color family.

[Deleted]

I like lagoon too.

Oooh, yes. I change my answer to lagoon. 

[laceandlouboutins]

I really liked the purple rain, and then I saw the lagoon. I love that one.

[averyjessup]

I love that wallet (and the PS1) but I agree it's too matchy matchy.

Are you a Balenciaga fan? I like the long zip around wallet with reg hardware, I think it's called the continental something or other. The Celine ones are pretty, too.

Posted too slow - just saw you wanted it with a chain.  Nevermind!

[themysteriouswife]

Buy what color makes you happy. I like blues, personally.

[Deleted]

At I definitely don't want is the Chanel wallet on a chain. I currently have a KS that needs to be replaced.
