Dawn's small but well-loved collection

[Miss_Dawn]

Happy Birthday dear Miss Dawn. Yippee for all your birthday goodies . Mr Dawn did it again — tracked down a hard to find item on your wishlist. The CC pochette is so elegant and a perfect piece to add to your black caviar family. And all your other gifts are so pretty and lovely. That pretty pink cosmetic case is so you . Congrats on and enjoy all your goodies. And have a wonderful birthday week and month

Thank you dearest Iam

Happy birthday to you Miss_Dawn! Just imagine me singing the birthday song to you

Love the Chanel mini pochette. I love all mini pochettes. And hmmm you're going to smell EXTRA special now

I can't believe another year has passed since your last birthday!

Thank you ATB
I think it’s so cute that you’re marking out the passage of time with reference to my birthday “I remember once upon a time... not Dawn’s last birthday, but the one before that “

(Don’t worry, I’m not really that vainglorious )

It was my anniversary last week. We met friends, received presents, and life carries on

Here are my goodies. Note all the tea things (I love tea ) and the Monica Vinader diamond bracelet with limited edition pink packaging (I’m all about the details ). There’s also a pink LV bandeau which is a perfect match for my Alma BB. And a Tumi Mauren tote which I think may be good for travelling. Maybe I could even pack it for an overnight? Not sure.

Plus I replaced a pair of black Gucci ballerinas. And bought a navy silk shawl
and bluebell cashmere cardigan. Love all the blues

Thank you so much sweetie

It’s been insanely busy and I’ve been working long hours from home notwithstanding my short but violent cold. It made me absolutely miserable for 72 hours, and then I started feeling human again! Much better now

For my birthday, Mr Dawn found another item on my black caviar SLG wish list We went looking for this one before but it wasn’t available but he found me one It’s a little black Chanel mini pochette.

Also a few other things A pink Prada vanity case that came with a perfume (SO pretty!)

Lots of perfumes, including Le Labo 31 Rose shampoo, body lotion (I also have the conditioner) and the perfume. Smells divine.

And Chanel Gabrielle, Chanel Coco Madameoiselle plus Prada La Femme.

Also a mix of other things, e.g. skincare and small stationery treats, silk pillowcases and a peach candle (didn’t photoraph some things - they’re already around the house!)

Very happy

Happy Anniversary Miss Dawn . Love all your beautiful gifts. I think the light pink bandeau would look absolutely amazing on your Alma BB — can’t wait to see pictures of the pair. Oh, that diamond bracelet is just gorgeous. Enjoy your lovely gifts

Thank you all very much, my friends For the birthday and anniversary wishes and for sharing my pleasure at all my lovely new items (not so new now!)

I’m not doing much at the moment that is noteworthy and have not bought a new bag since my Gucci padlock in June. I don’t really have anything on my wish list at the moment. Purse peace

For Mr Dawn’s birthday we went away on a short trip to Paris last week / earlier this week. I’ve been working hard, so I’ve been tired and I was also down with a stomach bug for a few days. It was lovely to get away. I did a little bit of shopping, mostly home stuff and some beauty bits I can only get at Sephora (the Champs Élysée flagship branch is HUGE) but nothing to write home about. Just wandered around soaking in the sunshine Here are some pictures from Paris

What a wonderful way for you and Mr Dawn to celebrate his birthday in Paris . Hope you have fully recovered from the stomach bug. Thanks for the lovely pictures of Paris — we always enjoy your photo collages (you make the best collages ). Have a relaxing weekend Miss Dawn

Hello my friends I haven’t been on the forum very much recently. No particular reason - I just haven’t bought any bags recently so haven’t had much relevant news

Mr Dawn and I have both been quite busy at work. I’m feeling a bit flat at work. It’s kind of okay, but I’m just not very excited and buzzing at the moment. Ups and downs!

I have been focused on a lot of home improvements and purchases going into this autumn. We’ve been organising everything right left and centre! Lots of areas in the house are looking much nicer, but it’s an ongoing process! Today we’ve been organising the spare room cupboard and linens - I’m all about the fun

Mr Dawn gave me a Dyson Supersonic Airwrap. It cost more than a Chanel SLG, madness But I love it. And then I needed more storage space, so he gave me a new shelf for my dressing area With voice activated lighting and one of those sensor-activated true-sunlight Simplehuman mirrors for my dressing table. I love gadgets! Happy days

Here is a bit of a photo diary of the past month.

1) Photo 1. After seeing all the impressionist art in Paris this August, I had an itch to go back to the National Gallery. So while Mr Dawn was working one weekend, I spent the whole day rambling through the art with an audio guide. I enjoyed it immensely

2) Photo 2. Can you believe I still have roses in October? These are from last week.

3) Photo 3. A few small pictures of my new shelf. Very happy with it.

4) Photo 4. We’ve been experimenting with different ways of brewing our coffees on the weekend. Besides using our machine, mostly, here’s a couple of weekend breakfast pictures- one with a takeaway coffee and weekend Laduree Macarons as a treat, and another of making our own coffee this morning in my new Bodum cafetière and matching Le Creuset milk jug. Why am I so matchy matchy?

5) Photo 5. For our engagement anniversary, I got the new Saint Laurent perfume. It came with a cosmetics bag and notebook Here’s a photo.

What a long catch-up post. I hope all my friends are doing well
