As much as I love Hermes, I do not get the occasion to go to a boutique all that often and due to my student loan debt from business school-- it will be awhile yet before I can shop to my heart's content.
However, every once in awhile a girl needs to treat herself. I had been wanting a wallet for a very long time (been using a cheap little Vera Bradley pouch for my cards) and I wanted one of the Maxi Twilly's since I love the length and size.
Here is my little reveal-- I was losing daylight so the lighting is a little off.
Ended up getting a Silk'in wallet in Bougainvillea with blue electrique spangles interior. Wanted something small as I tend to carry small bags such as my picotin PM and usually want to have something small in my laptop tote.
Next, I ended up with a Kachinas Maxi Twilly-- my favorite scarves are made by Wolff et Descourtis in Paris-- they are more like shawls - silk and wool-- with intricate designs, so sometimes I just want lots of fabric versus the 90 carre.
Originally, I was looking at a red color way and the SA said she had one in the back that I may like a little more. It had just arrived on Thursday and I indeed preferred it in the Rose/Vert.
Finally, I was drawn to the De la Mer au Ciel scarf hanging up in the store, normally I am not so drawn to busy designs, but this one really drew me in and I wanted to look at all of the colors in stock. I ended up with the salmon/orange type. I was drawn to one of the blues, but have too may blue based scarves so I thought this would shake up my world. So beautiful.
I liked the metamorphosis message too-- this year I started a wonderful new job, my major goal once I realized post MBA that I hated to return to corporate America. I also made a promise to myself if I lost 60 lbs then I would buy myself a brand new bag (Double Sens, Garden Party or So Kelly are in the list). So I am hoping this scarf will continue to motivate and serve as a fantastic reminder.
Finally, the SA at the Charlotte store was amazingly wonderful; anytime I walk into that store they are always so wonderful. We somehow got into the conversation about my mother, who lives with me and has a disability due to the need for a knee replacement. She had given me a deluxe sample of Jour d'Hermes Absolu l'eau de parfum for my travels (I am a consultant by trade and end up traveling 50-75% of the time) and then she wrapped another bottle of it as a gift to my mother. Super kind. My mother was TICKLED! I really love the fragrance.
Sorry that the pictures were so terrible, I was excited and wanted to get something up!
