Women wearing two belts with one outfit

I’ve been playing with a styling app called Stylebook to create the double belted look I have seen that first got me interested. Mind you, this isn’t on a model so the curves, sizing, and shaping is going to look a bit off but it’s the best I can arrange. The sweater should look cinched where the brown belt is and I couldn’t size down the brown belt a little more in the app.

I don’t see the point of this at all. Looks bizarre, uncomfortable, and not put together. Either you love it or you don’t. If you are unsure, you don’t love it.

Quincy Jones has died

When children (even though adults) share these profound insights about their father, outside of their professional
career, it is just pure love in their hearts. What a dad, role model & friend he must have been
"Q" & "D" rest in peace, you were a music icon the likes of which we will not see ever again.
Glad that so many of us will remember your music & the joy it brought to us

MJ Wizard of Oz Collection

You will love the bag charm- it is very substantial. I bought the witch tote and got the very last strap at my local MJ boutique- it was on display. The black denim Dorothy and Friends is only available in boutiques now- the graphics on that are amazing with the Kansas tornado on the sides. A lot of attention to detail.

I have done way too much damage with WofO. I am saving up for other collections now.

Enjoy your Oz items!

Pop of colour - is Kelly 28 the right one or too big for that? Also Sellier or Retourne?

Thank you. The worst part is that in my country there is no Hermes so a trip abroad would be needed which I don’t plan on this year. So that’s why I ask so much. I never saw touched the bags. So with reseller and authorization the stakes are higher for me. I wanted to be done with it. And after first bag buy another with more info. For reference, my chanel medium is somet8’es worn open because the card holder phone, lipstick and tissue and I’m done. Need to pretzel the bag if I talk on a phone. I know it’s Birkin but I guess it’s celeste or sth similar? What do you think about candy like colours like this one? I try to imagine in smaller in kelly and summery.
Honestly, plenty of us have bought bags sight unseen, and plenty of us have made expensive mistakes. I would wa8t until you can at least try these bags on at a reseller. These are all questions that you will be able to instantly answer for yourself when you see a swift K or B , retourne or sellier, 25/28 or 30 respectively. These are all really personal choices. IMO only
Good luck

ETA: I adore swift retourne Bs and sellier Ks. I am not really a fan of today’s, sometimes dull luster Togo, but have found Epsom surprisingly practical and durable (nothing like getting caught in monsoon conditions to make me value an Epsom bag).

Ballon Bleu or Tank Francaise

If you want diamonds I prefer the tank on you.
I feel that the tank lays more flush against your skin in an attractive way. The slight curvature the watch itself with the slated/sloping rounded edges surrounding the watch face as well as the continuation of the links from the watch face going around your wrist feels more "in place"? I suppose.
With your jeans and leather jacket, they fit the more industrial, slightly edgy look of the tank without being overtly hard-edge or masculine. The Ballon Blu feels a little too soft for your look.

While I love Ballon Bleu, I only like it in SS, plain.
I do not like the Balloon Bleu with diamonds, so I don't find it appealing to look at tbh.
The watch face of the BB looks a little small on your wrist to me. Unless that's what you're going for. However, I would prefer a larger watch face for the BB on you.
I have a feeling the diamonds are sort of enveloping the watch face in a way that makes it look smaller.

Just my 2 cents. Both watches are classic styles to the house! Really up to what you fall in love with more. Happy shopping! Please let us know what you end up deciding on. :tup:

The Scarf-Coat Hybrid Is Winter's Coolest Outerwear Trend

I have a coat from 2-3 years ago, I think either from Massimo Dutti. It looked beautiful on the tall model, but turns out not so nice and unpractical on my tiny 5“2‘. The attached scarf is always there, both together superheavy.
I definetely prefer both separately or just wear a coat wit high or fluffy collars or a turtleneck underneath it. Way more practical. Some things look nice, but aren‘t designed for real life.

Yasu Michino bags, anyone?

I would say yes and as far as I’m concerned, the value for money is great on these bags.

I have had the Saint Germain for over a year and it’s held up really well. The waterproof canvas has softened a little but it’s a workhorse.

Size-wise, I like the Lutece PM the best as it fits most of my daily needs when not carrying paperwork. Surprisingly roomy for its form factor, too. Already considering my next purchase, but hesitating over colours.

Below is the mini Lutece, which I’ve worn all summer.

What a beauty!! Does PM fit 13” laptop? Just trying to figure out the size. Thanks

Why do we women like jewelry sooooo very much?

My question or observation came up while a friend of mine and I were shopping. I said, I just love, love bling. She said "all girls do." This made me think when did we women begin to wear much much more jewelry than men? Did we learn this or is it innate? I just cannot get enough bling and absolutely adore it. My boyfriend wears one ring on a good day when he is not working. Maybe I shouldn't ask why but enjoy it. What do you think?

I think this question also depends what culture you're from. In my country, my tribe and surrounding tribes, not only did women wear jewelry but men were equally adorned. Men also kept their hair long while women shaved their heads. Colonialism did away eroded these standards and now it's rare to see men wearing jewelry. Heck, there's even a stigma against it with the exception being when wearing traditional clothing. You will also never see men growing their hair long. For the tribes that live in seclusion and still retain their culture (like the Maasai), very common to see men adorned in jewelry

It's a beautiful bag! I'm considering getting it too. Is it significantly heavier than the regular Speedy 20? I'd love to hear your thoughts on using it so far, do you still love it, or have any regrets?
