Thanks for this. I’ve been looking for an easy-to-order insert for a few bags. Tips are good.

Elaine, this is such a special scarf! Beautiful ... I hope someone there notices, like most of us would if we strolled past you during intermission. Enjoy the day and the ballet.
This happened to my mom in some ways. She got her teaching credential in college, but got a job working as a trainee in space technology since there were no teaching jobs to be had when she graduated. She was quite a few years into her career and already had a family before either she realized or someone told her that she should have become an engineer. She worked with engineers, but always below them, never at their level. If she had been a man when she was coming of age, she probably would have been encouraged into engineering at the beginning of her career, or in college. She still could have done it, but by then, she had young children, she may have been a single mother already, and to go back and get her Masters was just not feasible at that point. She had a good career, but I think she regrets not going to that next step.
Ooh. Please share the coats. Living my coat dreams vicariously through others.
This is a wonderful outfit. The bag is so pretty, and matches the little boots perfectly! Have fun Christmas shopping!
Thank you, WV! The thing about Hermès scarves is that the design doesn't show when they're tied, so (for example on this one) I know that ballet dancers are hidden inside, but for anyone looking at the scarf it just looks like swirls of color. Which to my mind makes the scarves a lot of fun.
Of course, it would be a real treat if someone were to come up to me in the lobby and say "I love your Ballets Russes scarf... kind of like a secret sorority handshake!
I’m bundled up for an outdoor holiday festival. Trim 2 holds a lot and is the right color of course. I’m happy for December to focus me on my
Red bags.
Red bags.
Carrying my City Steamer today!
The clochette carries the keys for the front lock, and was a gift from my SA. [emoji4]
I'ven't been following this thrad actively so my post is most likely off-topic. I just found interesting research article about rude sales associates. So in the event you get treated poorly, it might be just another trick to make you purchase instead of unprofessionalism.
"When it comes to luxury brands, the ruder the sales staff the better the sales, according to new research from the University of British Columbia’s Sauder School of Business.
The forthcoming Journal of Consumer Research study reveals that consumers who get the brush-off at a high-end retailer can become more willing to purchase and wear pricey togs.
“It appears that snobbiness might actually be a qualification worth considering for luxury brands like Louis Vuitton or Gucci,” says Sauder Marketing Prof. Darren Dahl. “Our research indicates they can end up having a similar effect to an ‘in-group’ in high school that others aspire to join.”
For the study, participants imagined or had interactions with sales representatives – rude or not. They then rated their feelings about associated brands and their desire to own them. Participants who expressed an aspiration to be associated with high-end brands also reported an increased desire to own the luxury products after being treated poorly."

I actually took 5 1/2 bags.
• Hot pink Miss Dior
• Silver Diorama
• Black LV LockMe II BB
• Red Trussardi Lovy
• Beige / Gold Prada Jute Tote
The 1/2 is the black packable tote I got for my European vacation. I was going to buy a beach tote but could find one I like. Two of my swim suits have black in it so I'm making it work.
I think cute beach totes are hard to find. Thanks!!!!
In these photos you are wearing the prettiest plum color in your scarves and sweater! I have a hard time finding this color. I love it with navy or black.
I have had to force myself to not buy this bag. I just adore it. The color is just stunning. I need a cobalt blue bag that I can wear casually (as well as other times) and this would be perfect. But, I need to pause hard before I buy anything else. Buying 10 bags (8 that I've kept) in a year is enough.
Thank you!!Thanks to all for theand 'likes'
@Sparkletastic have a great fun, spoil your beautiful self and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
I’ve read about that!
It triggers a desire to like show that you fit in, kind of thing. There might have been a thread about it awhile ago.
But hopefully more people walk away from such treatment. I refuse to purchase from rude SAs.
