Dress suggestions for a dinner & dancing evening in a 5* Hotel in Europe?

This is Scandinavia, so not as fancy as Paris or London, but still....I should go for cocktail dress rather than gala dress I feel?
I am single, so a bit of sexiness would be welcome, but obviously classy and chic, not vulgar.
Shoes wise I have Pigalle patent Louboutins or black nappa leather Gianvito Rossi pumps 10.
I am missing the dress and the handbag and the entire look....I have long brown hair. Suggestions on the look please!
I have a short silk dress from Balmain H&M.

Does the pendant stay centred? Help me decide

Hey all,

I've been eyeing the Vintage Diamond Pave Alhambra necklace in YG. I'm concerned about one thing...

To those who own the necklace: Does the pendant stay centred or does it move a lot to the right or left? If it did move, did you resolve the issue somehow, for example: by adding a few inches to the chain?

I'd appreciate any input on this matter. Thank you all so much!

Help Choose! LV Empriente Cream bags

Hi Everyone,

I can't decide between the new LV Diane in Empriente leather or the Multi Pochette in Empriente leather - both in the cream color.
I like the space the Diane provides but the Pochette can be so versatile (but is it over done and too basic for the cost?)
Which one would you choose?

Miss Sabina 85mm Buyer's Remorse?

Anyone own the Miss Sabina 85mm ? I bought it on impulse and now I'm having buyer's remorse because I am worried they will be uncomfortable. If you own them let me know what you think! Should I keep them or return them?

I bought the new ones which have a padded insole.

Calling all Messenger Trio Owners; advice needed

Ok so here is my dilemma. I love pumpkins. I waited too long and missed out on the LVxYK Boulogne. Not much is left in the collection. The Gaston Wearable Wallet & Messenger Trio. I have been buy a lot of small bags lately because I'm not into large bags anymore (except tote bags/Neverfull) (but some have been too small) My Pochette Metis' feel too big right now (They use to be my favorite bag) I do own a Pochette Metis E/W its a good size for me. One of my favorite bags size wise is my Noe Pouch that I added a strap to, also because its soft and flexible. I think the Gaston WW will be a tad too small (like several other bags I've purchased)and I dont like the Gaston strap (the YK is coming with the standard strap, not the one they show on the website with the bag) Will the Messenger Trio be too big. I think it will be light weight which is important as well. I carry a Phone, Mini Pochette, 4 key holder, Romy wallet.

I was on the fence purchasing a bag with the pumpkins because I was worried about chipping & how the paint would wear. I guess that is going out the window with my up coming birthday and love for pumpkins!

Please advise: Do you like your Messenger Trio? Is it too structured and does that make it awkward? Is it too big? Does anyone own The Messenger trio and a Pochette Metis or Noe Pouch that you could take comparison photos so I can get a feel for the size. Or the Gaston WW and a Pochette Accessories. Thank you in advance :heart:Screenshot_20231008_205701_Louis Vuitton.jpgScreenshot_20231008_205520_Louis Vuitton.jpg

Bag repair colour match "argilla"

Hello everyone, I am looking for some advice on repairing the scuffed edges of a bag. I have done this before on a black bag but the new bag I have purchased in need of some TLC is a Prada crossbody bag in the shade "Argilla", which is a taupe-grey colour. I am worried about finding the right match so does anyone have any ideas about how I should go about doing this? I should add that I am based in London, England so I would be really grateful for any product/service recommendations that are available in this country. Thank you once again

Chanel supports 'Priscilla', a film by Sofia Coppola

From WWD: "One of the highlights of the movie includes the moment of the couple’s marriage, recalling the original headline-making ceremony in 1967. At the request of the director, Chanel specifically created the wedding dress worn by Spaeny in the pivotal scene: an embroidered gown nodding the original dress and inspired by the Chanel spring 2020 couture collection by Virginie Viard."

Help:Chanel slingbacks scratched.

I have a Chanel related question. I bought classic two tone nude black slingbacks and got a deep scratch on the shoe and wiping off with a cream did not help really. I got them on August so they are quite new. Do you know any remedy? My SA actually told me to paint it to a similar color but I don’t know what the color is exactly. I got color champaigne and beige from angelus and neither of them did really match.
Any ideas?

Thanks a lot for your answer.

What to layer with Rolex that won’t scratch it?

Hi everyone! A couple days ago, I purchased my first rolex and I’m obsessed! I want to wear it often and I would love to layer with some bracelets but I don’t want to scratch it so I’m wanting to buy a “divider” bracelet in something softer than diamonds or gold that I’ll place between the watch and other bracelets. However the watch is quite “fancy” and won’t suit super casual jewelry. I’m putting in some pictures - I’m thinking a pearl bracelet perhaps as pearls are relatively soft. Thoughts??

Canthopexy Doctors?

Hi everyone! I'm interested in getting a canthopexy at some point, and it'd be convenient to do it in Korea as I already plan to get some other surgeries there. Please note a canthopexy is NOT the same as a canthoplasty. A canthopexy is that cat eye surgery that some western celebrities get. Skin is not removed. A suture (often dissolvable I think) is used to give the eye a bit of a tilt. It is not a thread lift either though, I think it lasts quite a bit longer, like a decade. Some doctors in America do it but I'm not super interested in visiting America, I feel like It'd be more worth my time staying in Korea because I'd go sightsee. The ones I found online were also very expensive or had botched cases. If you have recommendations for doctors outside of Korea I would consider it, but Korea is my priority. Thanks in advance!

VCA Alhambra Vintage MOP ring

Hey guys!

I’ve been looking for a right hand finger ring but held off as I thought the style has always been to feminine for me. Saw it on my SA and really liked it. I’m more of a Cartier and Bvlgari girl as I like the edgier designs. But something about the MOP ring really drew me to it. For those who own it - any feedback?
I’m also torn between WG and YG. I own mostly RG jewelry but figured this won’t matter as much as I see more pearl. Any feedback welcomed!

Chanel Jumbo 2009 beige caviar has soft bottom? NO HARD PLATE INSERT?

Please help! I just bought preloved Chanel Jumbo 2009 beige caviar. It’s very different from my black jumbo 2011 and I am concerned. The leather is so much softer then I thought caviar will be. But besides that the bottom DOES NOT HAVE HARD INSERT in it and it’s soft. Hm, it has card and mark inside but I still worry is it possible or something wrong with this bag? Also da switch kinda loose and flipping to easy when not expected. Oh… help to figure please

Retail theft

When I saw a new Louis Vuitton store open in my area, in an upscale shopping plaza, I was happy to see it. But I will admit a part of me wondered how soon it would be hit by retail theft mobs. There is an armed guard always standing out front, which definitely feels so out of place in our suburban area. But, I just read in the news that a bunch of people drove their car through the storefront and it is currently boarded up.

Apparently, the cops showed up very quickly and thwarted the robbery in progress, but they still got away. A couple of years ago, just across the street, the Nordstrom was hit by a theiving mob running amok. Before that a similar incident at the nearby Apple store, while people just looked on in shock.

I don't know how it is where many of you live, but here in California there are just no consequences. I learned that this particular city where the attempted robbery happened, did apply on time for funds to help thwart retail crime and the state denied the city. I read that Oakland, which has really become the Wild West, didn't even bother to apply. The news reported that Oakland missed the deadline to apply, but my friend in the know said that was not true. They just simply did not bother.

I usually come to this forum as a pleasant diversion, but right now I have to share that I'm just so tired of watching our society spiral down the drain. Something has got to give.

Bottega Veneta Stores - An Interior Design Thread

I have not seen a post dedicated to BV stores and their designs, but I enjoyed the recent PurseBlog article about the new Avenue Montaigne store in Paris. It is the first store done completely under Matthieu Blazy's creative direction. A couple of us in the comments thought this would be a great topic on the forum...so here we go! :smile:

Here a link the the article of inspiration:

A couple more articles:

And lastly some photos for those who prefer instant gratification :biggrin::

So what do y'all think? I've seen other stores with Blazy's influence, so I'll post those as well. I'd also love to compare photos of TM and DL stores too.
