What caught your fancy? I want the Oblique denim shirt from the collection.

That shirt is gorgeous! Beautiful color.

I also love the short sleeve embroidered shirt. Oh, and the sweaters!

Really, though? I think I'm gonna go for a tee. Stussy has been ingrained in my mind since I was a teenager in the early 90s because of the tees, so as simple as those pieces are, they are the pieces of the collection that hold the most significance to me. I really love the one with the quote on it--it looks like classic Stussy--but it's a little too casual. I think I want the grey tee with Dior written in the classic Stussy handwriting/font. I always loved the plain Stussy tees with their big logo on them, so I would love to have the Dior version.

This collection must be significant for you! I actually didn't know anything about Stussy till a few years ago.

I can't wait for boutiques to reopen again, and for life to feel normal.

Oh yes. Kim Jones has a knack for bringing exactly the right cultural touchstones that were significant to me into his collections. He did it with Fragment Design, and he's doing it again with Stussy. I was shocked and thrilled when this collaboration was announced, and I knew I had to get something from it.

I grew up seeing this and tees like it in so many places:

So I am very happy that I spoke to my SA today, and he has assured me that they are receiving enough of these for me to have one:

Of course, I can't have it until June because of the lockdown, but that's okay. I will be patient.

Did you get a Book Tote?

I didn't know you were such a Celine Dion fan!

OMG yes, I’ve loved her since I was like 5! The blanket was part of my VIP concert package when I saw her in Paris in 2015.

And of course, very good guess @averagejoe ;)

I’m so glad I held out, as the Toile de Jouy is one of my favourite patterns of all, and to be able to get it in Dior grey was icing on the cake! I was planning to get the oblique pattern in grey when the small book totes came out, and I was told that the Toile de Jouy pattern was all sold out, but I was lucky enough to get my paws on this one!

Congratulations! The Toile de Jouy is beautiful in grey!

Wow! I wasn't even listening to music when I was 5!

Thank you! Now I’m wondering when I’ll get to carry this beauty out. I might just have to be extra and carry it for a walk in the park lol!

Yeah we loved listening to music in my family, and my sister brought home Celine’s first two English albums when she was studying in Canada, and I fell in love. And when Beauty & The Beast came out, that cemented it for me. :)

I haven't carried any of my bags for a month and a half! I've been tempted to just carry something out on a walk, but all the effort of getting it out and also having nowhere to go, and the prospect of getting them dirty/scratched with all the odd ways I am opening doors now to avoid touching the handles...I just talk myself out of it :sad:.

I remember when the movie Titanic came out and her My Heart Will Go On song was all the rage. Have you seen her in Las Vegas? I saw her there for her second residency (so not the A New Day Has Come) and it was good but I didn't recognize almost any of the songs from her. She sang songs like Shirley Bassey's Goldfinger!

If I’m just going for a walk in the park, I’ll take a nice bag out, it gives me a small sense of normality, unless I’m just going grocery shopping.

No, never went to her Vegas residency, but saw her four times in London and Paris! I’m supposed to see her again this September but I have no idea if that will actually happen...

Filmed a "#dontrushchallenge" for work while at home, and dressed up for the second time during this pandemic (first time was with the white Dior shirt that I posted 2 pages back). Featuring my Oblique T-shirt, CD Icon necklace, CD Icon bracelet, Dior VIII, and CD belt.

Excuse the socks. The video did not show my feet so I didn't bother.
