Also I’m sorry for my third post in a row but I wanted to share this link with you all! Unfortunately my feet did not make the cut for The NY Times article on Boyd’s, but I wanted to share this fabulous write-up called “The Last Great Clothing Store” anyway, since I think you would all appreciate an institution such as this. And those of you that are familiar with Boyd’s (@Pocketbook Pup , possibly @MSO13 ) will be amazed at the transformation and become nostalgic at reading it!

@gracekelly, I love that cardigan on you! And the scarves are beautiful!

@Dextersmom Wow, your Chanel collection is fabulous! I love the red with camellia quilting. Feminine and flirty!

@Genie27, you continue to look fantastic. :smile: That jacket!!!

I have some good things going my way for once after what seemed like a relentless string of terrible terrible things. (DH’s brother with aneurysm and stroke, dear friend diagnosed with breast cancer for the second time, to name a few)

After months and months of job hunting, DH got a call this morning offering him the job he wanted!

My ultimate holy grail is out for delivery! (Will post photos as soon as I break open the box, heh heh)

Yesterday, I fell in love with a csgm in a print that I never in a million years thought would look nice on me! (Pique Fleuri)

And finally, i have the day off!!! I’ll probably drop by the H exhibition that opens today.

Sigh... what a great day. I hope it’s as good for you all as it’s been for me!

Thanks for the compliment. I seem to be wearing that cardie an awful lot lately :smile:

So happy that you are getting some good new news for a change. Rebirth of good things for you at Easter. :smile: Can't wait to see the scarf!

Your new bag is gorgeous! Congratulations on all of your purchases. The belt is fantastic. I love Hermes Rose gold. It’s so subtle and elegant.

I cant wait to read the article. More later... boarding a flight. Not to Paris unfortunately. [emoji22]

I’m sure many of you have seen this in the last purchase thread over on the H forum, but wanted to share a couple of pics here too, just in case! Introducing my new work bag - GP 36 in Bordeaux vache country, accessorized with courvetures nouvelles vichy twilly! Also picked up a skinny belt in rouge grenat/noir with rose gold mors buckle since I think it’s the perfect subtle belt to wear with trousers to the office. I won’t be unboxing anything until my graduation in May, so please all pray for me to resist the temptation of having unopened orange boxes in my house until then!

I also learned something very interesting about Hermès’ rose gold - it’s a lot less pink than many other rose golds because there is less copper in it. H has actually procured a design patent for this formula! View attachment 4018951

Also I think I might have found my next bag (does it EVER stop??) when I surprisingly fell in love with the coated canvas herbag in black! Such a sleek looking bag at a fraction of the price of the Kelly. I never liked this bag before with the uncoated canvas, but this changes the game for me!

Bordeaux is such a beautiful color.

So happy that you have had a lovely and much needed day off!

You look beautiful; your smile, your scarf and your lipstick. You are a sight to behold, Joannadyne. :hugs:

Thank you for the compliment on my fuchsia camellia WOC. That one is quite special to me. :heart:

Congrats! Beautiful choices and I totally agree that the coated canvas is a game changer for the Herbag.

I prefer a less coppery rose gold and I have purchased the Hermes hinged bracelet with the rose gold rim and they are super pretty. There are few other jewelry companies who also make a similar rose color.

You look so polished. I love your new bag and belt, and to answer your question, no I don't think it ever ends. Whenever I go to pick up a bag or whatever, there is always something, laying in wait, that I didn't know I needed. The only way to avoid this, I think, is to never step foot in a shop and I know that will never happen! Of course, I am speaking for myself here. Maybe you have more restraint than I do. :lol::heart:
