Great old-school H bag, @Cordeliere ! I used to know what it was called (Cabas?) I've seen pics but never realized they came so large. Well, I guess it's a good thing that the seller took the time to carefully pack it in a certainly-big-enough box!

Yes this is the Her-bag version of the Cabas. You know you bags. :smile: I had eyed the leather Cabas for years, but when I saw this, I assumed it would be light like a toile birkin. It is not as light as I expected, but I am sure it is lighter than the leather version of this bag.

Experimenting Calvi and Kelly wallet. Dropped by Starbucks with my Kelly. The Calvi could actually fit in Kelly wallet. I have to carry a little card holder because that has the office badge which is needed when going through building to building. Kelly seems too big and high profile for office environment. The blue electrique Kelly is still my favorite wallet.

Love the scarf and the leather on the kelly wallet looks like heaven. Is it mysore?

I skipped dress up Thursday today - I went to the museum for a talk on a Degas painting that has been mystifying me for months, and I wasn't sure if there would be seating or if I would have to sit on the floor (turns out they had stools, but didn't want to risk wearing anything nice just in case). For the rest of the day, I will be on the couch catching up on work and watching March Madness basketball. I am, however, wearing the new Breton t-shirt I got from Majestic Filatures in Paris! MF makes the BEST t-shirts and staples for layering or to wear alone. They are so much cheaper there than they are here, so I stocked up.
 
Ooh, I'd forgotten how pretty the Paramount is! And such a great show!

I went to a Rocky Horror Picture Show live performance a few years ago at the local Schauspielhaus and was tickled by such a gorgeous classical setting for the, um, not classical show. And by the part where they warned us not to dance along because it would bring the balcony down... :whut:
That is so funny! I bet the RHPS was incredible!
Raisin dress up Thursday with my Toni Bohu and raisin chèvre Bolide. I even have a raisin sweater under the coat!
Grace your raisin bolide is amazing! I have a chevre raisin B that I need to rehome and your photos are giving me a pang of sadness when I see your gorgeous bag.

BE is so pretty! I love your leopard on leopard outfit, very cute!
 
Can’t you turn your phone into a portable hotspot? We have a whole house generator. Thank goodness. I had power the whole time but lost phone cable and internet.

I haven’t been participating in dress up Thursdays. I have to dress up everyday for work. Off duty dressing is more my challenge. So here’s my contribution to stylish Saturday. Prada mohair sweater and cashmere coat purchased on my nesting spree on my birthday trip, j crew pencil skirt, banana republic blouse, SW boots, Hermes accessories.

I’m back in the US from my London, Paris, Lisbon adventure! I had the best time and was sad to come home. Lisbon was absolutely charming; the best way I can describe the aesthetic is a cross between Spain and the Caribbean. The rainy season just started so I had to contend with that, and it sadly caused me to miss out on Sintra, as we decided to skip it because severe thunderstorms were predicted. It ended up being beautiful the day we were planning to go, but what can you do...just means I’ll have to go back! Lisbon is surprisingly not a great art city; the only museum I would really recommend going to is the National Coach Museum, which has a fabulous collection of royal coaches spanning 3 centuries. I think the best thing to do in Lisbon is to walk around all the different neighborhoods and eat your way through the city. Everything is very affordable and DELICIOUS. Need to eat some fruits and veg now that I’m home, ate WAY too much cheese, sausage, ham, and bread there. [emoji85] Here is the last batch of photos.

Looks wonderful and will take your advice regarding the food each plate yummy. I hope you make it to Sintra next time (and put London and Edinburgh on your list too)
