Derp, foiled by H! I got to the store only to be told it was closing in three minutes due to a private event for press. I was tempted to try to get in but I had DS with me so it wouldn’t have worked... oh well, I’ll come back tomorrow!

This cw is more subdued than the brights I’m used to wearing. What do you think? A keeper?

I’m heading to H for that exhibition - can’t remember the name. Something about Harnesses. Will post pics and report back!

Thanks for all the kind thoughts and wishes everyone!

@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. :) 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!

Oh Joanna, I’m so sorry for what you’ve been going through. I’m glad to hear that there is finally some sun on the horizon and some good news has come your way.

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!

Thank you, cafecreme, for your kind comments!
I love all your purchases - that GP is dreamy in bordeaux! And the belt is such a useful color combo. But I especially love the herbag on you! I’ll try to check one out tomorrow - you’re right about the coated vs non-coated canvas!

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]

Thank you PbP! Rose gold is normally not my think but like you said this is so subtle. Have a safe flight!!

Bordeaux is such a beautiful color.

Thanks, I agree! I think it can read as a neutral but is something different from the tans and black. I was between this and a navy, maybe like bleu sapphir or bleu indigo, but I'm so happy I went with this!
gracekelly said:
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.

I hope the coated canvas style is here to stay! And now that I H rose gold has won me over this opens up a whole other dimension for the bracelets!

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:

Thank you! And ain't that the truth!! Restraint is certainly not my middle name, to say the least :lol:

Oh I love it!! Bright enough to be eye-catching but not over powering. Cant wait to hear about the exhibition...love Sprinkles, too! And your adorable DS is the epitome of true enjoyment.

:heart: Thank you!! I thought I would want two neutrals but then realized how gorgeous rouge grenat was, and that was that. Would love to hear your thoughts on the herbag once you have a chance to see it!

It is very pretty and I really do like it with black. Since you liked what the dip dye did to your scarves, perhaps this one is closer to that than a bright and a nice change up for you.

A while back @JolieS had suggested that I brush the fringe on my shawl after laundering to neaten it. I washed my gossamer cotton Gucci shawl and taking a tip from the moussie washers, I sprayed with stiffen-up and ironed it immediately while gently combing the fringe with a fine tooth comb. It seems to have done the job nicely - obviously not perfect like store bought, but nice enough to wear, unlike my previous attempts - those looked like bad false eyelashes.

I did one more narrow stole and a moussie and only have two large shawls left to do next weekend. Then I hung up all my clothes in my closet - major achievement there.

Joanna, that turandot is spectacular on you. And I’m glad to hear things are looking up for you and your family.

Cafe, the GP is gorgeous!!! A fantastic neutral. Congratulations on your upcoming graduation!!
