First Hermès purchase and the dreaded waitlist....

I think I'll try reaching out to the SA again later this week... Last time we spoke was early August and she seemed optimistic that she could still snag one for me... but I'm not going to get my hopes up and relying on the "WL" anymore :lol:

I just recently had a big bday and got way too many presents to be asking for a Kelly at the moment anyways. So, I have to wait until the holidays regardless..... But you're right @Love Of My Life , I think I will have a fun time exploring the pre-loved market and maybe I'll get lucky!;)

You never know, your sa may come through for you! I have a two friends who started with a sa who was new to h and the store was a new location also, one friend received a k and b in the first year without really spending much at all. The other received a k with minimal purchases. I know this isn't common but I think there's hope. I think working with a brand new location there may be opportunities. Sending positive thoughts your way! :hugs:

MWT Speedy vs V Tote MM?

New to the forum and looking for some advice!

I am looking for an everyday bag that is practical and relatively worry free. I own a neverfull gm in damier ebene that I use for work. But it's too big for every day use. I have two young kids, so I want something that still has a decent amount of space, a cross body option, and treated leather. Because I already have the DE neverfull, I would prefer a monogram bag this time. I think I've narrowed it down to the MWT speedy with the red lining and black handles, or the v tote mm. If I get the MWT speedy, it would only have one discreet sticker (open to suggestions).

Any opinions, recommendations, and/or pictures of the above bags?

Thank you in advance perfect rural living https://highlandsvernon.com/ with casino for your help!
I'd recommend MWT speedy. Love that bag.

Marmont Mini 2.0 or Dionysus Super Mini - which will you pick

I am in debate of which one of these 2 should I buy. Dionysus super mini in emerald green or Marmont Mini 2.0 in red. I love the design of Dionysus but super mini is just very tiny. I mostly use small bags already and carry only 3-4 pieces with me but I know I will still have to make some compromises if I get the Dionysus super mini because it will not fit them all.

Marmont Mini 2.0 is the perfect size. Fits everything I usually carry. And it even has magnetic closure! How convenient is that! But honestly I don't feel too much about it. Yes it is pretty, but it does not have the fall-in-love-at-first-sight effect of Dionysus.

So I guess I have to choose between a practical bag vs. a love bag. Oh and Marmont Mini 2.0 is also $150 cheaper.

What do you think?

I’m not sure about the size and quality of the Marmont Mini 2.0, but I love the Dionysus line! I have two super minis (red and green), one black suede WOC, and a medium canvas/taupe suede. The green is a total stunner! The quality is amazing, and I love how it stands out. I get compliments every time I use it.

Favorite microcurrent devices?

Last month I bought the SolaWave after trying the ZIIP. I did like the app for the ZIIP and felt like the microcurrents were definitely super strong. But I am now returning it and switching to the Solawave because it incorporates other features like the red light therapy and vibration lifting massage. The sola wave feels amazing on my skin, and I am starting to see results faster in a matter of 2 weeks. I wish I could afford to keep the two and compare but I'd say maybe try both and see what works best for you?

Monat Hair products

And definitely don't let them suck you into being a sales rep in their downline.

I have ZERO plans to sell anything lol. But was curious to try the products. I have seen the articles you've posted about hair loss/damage and I don't doubt them but I know not everyone has the same experience so I wanted to try it for myself.

Why are pre-owned Chanel so expensive on Farfetch?

I know! It's absolutely ridiculous, bags for 8,000 dollars plus. It says it's import duties included but it's not THAT absurd with customs! I had heard something about Chanel working with Farfetch to sell pre-loved? Read about it in a post here about when Chanel sued WGACA. There was speculation that they were trying to "control" the pre-loved market by kind of monopolizing it? I have no idea! Either way, I have spotted the exact same bags listed on farfetch's website (serial no. and all) in Japan consignment stores...
I have never heard that but it's definitely interesting. I think Farfetch works with many independent boutiques around the world, perhaps they charge a lot of commission hence the super high prices?

Possible Problems with JUC

My bf wears his thin juc ring 24/7 and has no problems with it (no digging at skin or anything, feels as if it's barely there) He just has to turn the nail head into this palm when putting on clothes just in case - so it doesn't tear at any fabrics or material. i'm planning to get a thin juc to wear 24/7 with my small love. i've tried it on in stores, and it was very comfortable on me as well!

Help choose my birthday purchase :)

I've been going back and forth with the super mini, and I am left wondering if the ship has sailed on that one but I am just in denial :giggle: the pastel is gorgeous though. We'll see.. Thanks for voting!
I think it's a very trendy bag and tge Marmont line is not the newest kid on the block anymore. But if you love the colours you can always make the bag work. And pastel bags are always special. I do love the top handle.
