Morning fellow islanders! I am in the emergency department of the local hospital as hubbie has nasty cough that caused me some concern.
In addition to lack of lovely bags to keep me occupied, there is this lovely sign.

It is a mo smoking sign: ATTACHED to an ASH TRAY.
Hilarious.
Hopefully we will be seen soon. I hate being around germy people.

Good morning, Murphy! I am on the train to work. This sign is hilarious. :D Best wishes to you and hubbie! :hugs:

I was just at the Longchamp site and after being wooed by the sneakers (anyone tried them?) I have spent entirely too long at the Le Pliage Personalizer. Oh the possibilities! Black with pink lining, Green with yellow lining. Where have I been? How did I miss this? It's a Prepster dream come true. And so dangerously affordable...:sad:

Just went over there and played around. I've got a couple of the personalized nylon bags already, but the leather ones (with the lining) were not up on the site previously, so there was never the option of choosing a lining. So much fun! I designed a really pretty bag... red with a pink lining... but I didn't go through with the purchase. It was certainly affordable, but I'm trying to limit my bag purchases this year. Sigh...

I would totally do a customised Cuir, if they offered golden hardware.

Stylist has green hair. That's enough for me.
Hair is pin straight except for spot at back of neck.
Strands thin but there are many of them still, thankfully.
Until I had kids I never left the house without perfect BIG hair.
Now I lucky if I can dry the back.
My mom was a beautician for 20 years before she was a travel agent so I know some stuff about hair.
Sling bob? Would this be the Kate Gosselin circa 2007? Now known as the "can I speak to your manager" cut?
Sooo not suitable to thick wavy hair as it would sproing everywhere.
Light face framing layers, or a blunt cut, or the "Farrah" if you use a blow dryer.
I have ditched so many stylists that insist after 5 minutes they know my hair better than me.

I don't trust hair stylists. That's why I have long hair without any cut. A friend (who is a hair stylist cuts them once in a year.
Here, hair stylists have hair that I call "exploded badger". Short hair standing in all directions and dyed in black and a pop colour like purple. :eek:

I am venturing into the world outside Hermes...it's very exciting. The funny part is that now a $2,000 bag seems like such a bargain. :rolleyes: There are some surprisingly nice bags out here! I've been lured by Bally too, and Valextra and some terrific American makers like Shinola.

A few Valextra bags on monnierfreres.fr at the moment, 60% off! :smile::smile:

How is your husband, Murphy?
Lots of people caught the flu here. A very contagious and nasty virus this year.:sad:

:biggrin: You're describing the stylists in my neighborhood too. "Exploded badger"--yes, that's it! I also wear my hair long and straight and cut it (usually myself) once a year. Such a simple life.

I'm so sorry about your husband! Is he better? Whenever I take DH to the hospital....<sigh>...it's hours of terror that seems to follow me all week. :heart:

That sign is hysterical. I guess they want smokers to snub out their butts in the ashtray--and not leave them on the ground--before they come closer to the hospital. They're probably counting on the fact that smokers will take notice of an available ashtray before they notice a sign. Still it is ironic.

Hope everything is well for your DH! :heart:

Hmmm. Maybe this haircut is a special feature of hair stylists? :D
@BigPurseSue - I do cut my hair myself, too. Most of time I need to visit my friend afterwards. Because it has several awkward lengths.:giggle: Yep. I have long hair, because I am lazy. :lol:

I don't know about the hairdressers in your area but in mine, they ALL have very trendy first names...
Not their real ones in my opinion... :-s
