That's so neat they speak all 3! I edited to add Suomea when I remembered your beautiful scarves and could picture them there for some reason. I can't believe you are leaving there during the gorgeous summer and long days of light.

Well it was fifties and raining yesterday. I've had quite a few nice weeks of weather in may and June and my mom is more important! We will be back for August so maybe we will get lucky and autumn won't arrive on the second week of August as usual.
Happy birthday, MSD, and what a lovely surprise! It’s clear that they love working with you, and that is more wonderful than the presents.
I agree with this so much (and like Vink, I preferred Raf). I don’t know why they discontinue models like the Granville, which is so versatile with its crossbody style, and they have nothing like that anymore. And then they discontinued the shopper totes and have no classic shoppers anymore. And then they discontinued the Miss Diors so you can’t even get the woc anymore... LV does it so much better, the way they market the edgier stuff.
Thanks! I was a tough decision to sell that particular bag as I still really liked it. I only wore it a total of four times in the last three years so I decided it was time.
These are amazing colors, and I see them also in your avatar. Is this your signature color combination or something, that everyone at work even knows about it? This looks so fun! Happy Birthday.
Hi dc, that certainly does sound like a tough decision. I applaud your resolve in making that type of decision to edit your collection, much more challenging than getting rid of a bag that has a functional issue.
Just curious, what styles from LV do you consider edgy? I like some LV styles, but am having trouble seeing them as edgy.
No functional issue but the vachetta handles always made me nervous.
The added edge definitely doesn’t work for me. I saw one bag on tpf that was studded to within and inch of its life. It just didn’t work.Ha ha, I just posted asking about Dior bags, then scrolled up and realized I missed your post! Funny because I love the added edge in Dior. Have to say I hate the overt monograms, but that seems to be a trend across the board right now. Bletch.
I’m missing Rafe like crazy.
This is sooooo nice! You are certainly loved!!!! Not surprising as you’re loved here too. Happy B Day!
Yes! race hit the bullseye of my personal taste. The current one lost me with the large 80’s rap style logos.
I can see Run DMC carrying some of these bags. Blech!I agree with every point you’d made.
The core of the issue is they change styles every 5 minutes. Changing colors, materials or even a feature is one thing. But completely new bags every season???
I was so hoping that Dior would get a great shopper / tote to replace the soft tote. But nope. Lots of flap bags and shoulder bags. I don’t get their line up right now. I’m praying they change designers soon.
With Dior going a direction I hate, Gucci also going through a weird (to me) phase and me feeling pretty much “good” on Chanels and not wanting anything but the older single flaps, I don’t have a home anymore. LOL!
I really like the very few I’ve mentioned lately but, still nothing it’s pull the trigger worthy. And, I’m just not overly excited about any brands line up of bags right now. 
They now have the Diorama WOC, if I remember it right. They seems to like to put all the eggs in one basket and don’t have the patient for the next day.

I lost hope on Dior after they discontinued Diorissimo. That bag is a very classy bag/tote/crossbody and has so much potential. They treat it as a super classic, not a seasonal and discontinued it size by size. Chanel, at least, make their classics really classic by price, positioning and everything. Dior treat their bags with different position, but same price level whether it’s seasonal or not and then just cut it out as they see fit, which is very soon and super fast. I don’t get the criteria.
Tomorrow, DD’s school will have their first ever yard sale and we decided to buy a spot as a seller. We’ll mostly sell her outgrown clothes since she’s too attached to her toys [emoji28] and books that I bought only to find out later that we already got it. [emoji28] (and I thought I have good memory about books. [emoji28])
Playing merchant can be fun until I realize I don’t have a bag for it! I only have bags suit for going to work here. Nothing for play. Finally, I remember I have this bag I kept in my closet bought more than 9 years ago and decide to pull it out. [emoji16] I bought this bag during my visit to Chinatown years ago when I haven’t married yet and on a whim, wanted to dress like a preteen or something. Must be an early midlife crisis. [emoji16] I actually use it for a while for I find the compartments nice enough and easy to use. I still remember there’s another one at the shop that I like more, but didn’t get because it’s too cartoony or maybe doesn’t have the right compartment for me. [emoji16] Despite being made of PVC and just get starch in a closet piled under so many things, it still look good. I won’t say it look as good as new, but still in a very great condition despite what it’s been through. Come to think about it, many of my brandname bags got treated much much better than this bag, but at the end of their even much short life, look so ratty and be ready to get thrown out. (Yes. A fabric tri-color Chanel flap from years ago got discoloring just from storage and Bal in some lighter colors.)
I just think that quality can be everywhere and even a cheap material and cheap bag can actually withstand the time, too. [emoji4] So, yes. Tomorrow, I’m taking this bag to play merchant at the school. [emoji16][emoji16][emoji16]
