Also got to finally try out the new Dior Lock micro bag which is super small (not as small as my Prada micro bag, though). It is adorable! Am strangely tempted even though the bag can't even fit my headphone and keys after I put my cards in.

Don't mind the sloppy outfit. It is really humid today (at least by my standards), and I was afraid it would rain if I spent too much time out, given the forecast called for rain in the late afternoon. So I wore relatively water-resistant things including my new Saint Laurent Rive Gauche tote and flip-flops. Too bad it rained when I was out. At least the Rive Gauche was easy to clean from all the stuff that splashed on it by the time I got home.

So nice. Did you get to see the leather version as well? It's just too bad it only comes in blue, but I would have gone with the blue one had I have the chance, such a nice pop of color.

I'm going to be in Athens next month. Anybody have any experience with the Dior boutique there? Is it very good?

I think they only have the women's collection, at least when I checked 2 years ago. Are there any particular pieces you are looking for? If they're from the women's collection, then they may have them!

I honestly don't know. I'm not in the market for much outside of SLGs and perfumes. I know that I'm in need of a passport cover, but I'm not sure what house I want to go with for that.

I like it, but will it get dirty easily? That's why I might go with a Louis Vuitton in Monogram Eclipse.

If you use it a lot, then it can get dirty. Especially with all the hand-sanitizing now, the Oblique tapestry may get really soiled with frequent use. This is why my daily wallet is not a Dior Oblique wallet.

However, if you don't travel that frequently (I used to only travel once per year), then the Oblique should be fine.

I‘m in the same camp! The bag is ridiculous but it looks so great as an accessory.

Did you end up getting it? The problem for me is that it cannot fit all my essentials and I am not a fan of putting thing in my pockets. That way I doubt that it’ll be actually useful which keeps me from getting it…

No, I didn't get it, but I'm still thinking about it. I saw the blue leather one this past weekend, too, which makes it even harder to decide (although I think I would go for the Oblique one if I do end up with this bag, because it's easier to match). I wish they made the strap detachable with metal clasps instead of the way it is now, because then I could pair it with my new Oblique strap and get more looks out of the bag.

Oh yeah that combination sounds lovely!

What makes you hesitate? Was it because of the size and the fact that you also have to do mental gymnastics to justify it? ;)

Haha! Mental gymnastics! It's actually a bit of both, and also the fact that sale season is upon us and I shouldn't buy full price items at the moment unless they are hard to come by (or will sell out immediately).

Do you suspect that this item is going to end up at a sale as well?

I thought about usage and if I paired it with my book tote it would be perfect. Oh god please don’t let me buy this thing….

I don't think the Oblique one will go on sale at the boutique given the price point of the item being lower than most of their other bags, although I'm not excluding the possibility that they'll eventually send the unsold units to the Dior outlets (Woodbury and Bicester).
