@Bumbles yes i decided to keep it

Yes I do. It is simply adorable and a statement piece but just doesn’t fit the phone. Essentials only. If you are ok without your phone fitting then it is a gorgeous mini bag to have and use! I love mine Here’s a pic of the cutie!

Ah and those of you who have an Alma bb, do you use it with a rectangular bag insert or a dome shaped one?

I got a dome shaped insert for mine...I dont think it matters as long as the base of the insert fits the bag...

Wow I saw there is a discount code but didn't realize it applyis to so many brands! I just wish the celine would be included Did you get anything?

Not yet.. I was thinking about Toteme trench coat, or Burberry trench. And maybe some shoes? But I decided to wait till I get back to Finland first and won’t be doing any shopping while I’m away. Good way to have a break from shopping!

Hope everyone had a great weekend! I'm excited for this week with the Garden collection release There are still no HD pictures of the cardholders, LV hurry up I'm too curious because I'm also debating the cardholder of FFY with 6 slots. Maybe I just need both

Yes, I’m enjoying beach life on Al island in Maldives! Snorkeling and getting my vitamin D levels up This the best place I’ve ever been snorkeling!! I need to come back here some day.

You live in Finland too? Do you live in Helsinki? Must feel weird going back to work after 1,5 years break! Can’t remember that anymore, my kids are 12 and 16 already!

Thanks hun! Where are you off to?

September is definitely recommended here. When returning to Greece this is month we’d chose based on speaking to the people here. Less crowds and weather and sea are still very good. July is actually the worse time to visit!

We are going to Mallorca, which is also unbearably hot during these months! June & September are better, especially with a baby, but I also understand people being „hungry“ for a holiday after 2 difficult years, so they can‘t wait until September! Greece is supposed to be nice even in October I think! Did you see a lot of LV bags ? I am imagining bumbags and MPAs?

The navy colour was a very negative surprise. I wonder what LV were thinking?!
September is great for travelling in Europe, June too! Where are you headed?
Unfortunately my son starts school this September, and I cannot believe that for the next twelve years I’m stuck with July and August. At least we have our own summer house in Italy, so it’s not that bad, but still..

I really don‘t know what they were thinking, especially now that it turns out it is „almost“ black which is even more annoying, I hate it when you can‘t tell whether it‘s black or navy! Very hard to combine for me personally!

We are headed to Mallorca, where we have a (brand new) holiday home too ! They have a lovely LV store there, quite well stocked! I remember they had plenty TP26s back when it was rumoured to be discontinued.

Oh, I am dreading this July/August period too, I am going to enjoy a couple of „more flexible“ years for now! But then again, more freedom for you because he starts school and then there‘s still other vacations throughout the year!
In what area of Italy do you have the summer house? Italy sounds lovely, so convenient that you can go with the car from Austria!

So cute! My mother has the bigger version of it and she barely wears hers because of the „ackward“ shape. However, it makes for some very nice decoration in her entrance hall

Oh Mallorca will be amazing. I watched a programme recently on luxury destinations for the the rich and famous and Mallorca was on high on the list.

I did see some LV bags, but not many. I saw a Mono Felicie on strap in Athens, a Petite Malle Souple in Santorini and a few NF's, Keepalls and Backpacks at the airport, but that was it. The Felicie on Strap made me realise that I desperately need a small crossbody for travelling, just for cards and my phone. I think this was the reason I ended up leaving my phone on the grocery counter as I had no bag and I was juggling too much stuff. I'm thinking of the Dior Saddle Belt Bag Oblique. @tmtk80 posted about the discounts at 24s so I headed over to the site to check it out and was surprised that current Dior pieces are listed here, including the belt bag, for the same price as the Dior website . Unfortunately no discount codes work on Dior, but not surprising.

Truly idyllic . That water colour is stunning! Maldives is on my travel to do list. I flew over it when I went to Sri Lanka and from the air those atolls looked incredible.

Congrats on getting a holiday home in Mallorca! That sounds spectacular! Having one‘s own house there makes everything so more relaxed and flexible, especially with a baby or kids in general.

Yes, Italy is lovely and I am very happy that we can go by car. Our house is in the Emilia Romagna near Ravenna in a small seaside village, where many Italians have summer homes, but no hotels. Still, during July and August it is very busy, from September to June it is dreamy.
You are right, there are the Easter holidays, we plan on going to Italy then too. For all other short holidays it is too far away.

I totally agree with what you said about black and navy. But I understand why many people get the po coussin anyway, because the design is absolutely stunning!

 

[bigverne28]

This is stunning

Foxy also posted this yesterday. I'm not a bag fan of the coussin, but love it in this print in the white. It also comes in black, but doesn't pop like the white .
