Can i ask for your suggestions for REALLY COMFORTABLE dressy medium high heels? Not too strappy because I slip right out of those. TIA!
Ferragamo and Weitzman off the top of my head. Actually, the princess heel which is a little lower is very much back in fashion and it is always a comfortable height to wear. I have a bunch in the shoe museum that are coming out to play this spring!

Agree, Ferragamos are very comfortable. They are my go to shoes for business trips because they stay comfortable even trekking across O'Hare airport.

Thank you so much. I haven't seen chevron Reissue's in the boutique lately. I was at Nordstrom yesterday and saw a gorgeous so black quilted Reissue (black with black hardware) and I fell upon a bracelet that I couldn't leave behind....but I digress. :smile: I got mine close to 2 years ago. The list for the next season should be coming out any day.....I will keep my eyes on it and let you know if I see the version you want on the list. It would be gorgeous with ruthenium. :heart:

Thank you so much! I love the so black as well, but it seems there are mixed reviews on the durability of the chain. [emoji22]
Congrats on your new bracelet! I just LOVE seeing all of your wonderful pics. [emoji173]️

Congratulations, Sammie is so special.

We are sisters on the SM. Mine belonged to my grandmother and is a 26cm from 1951 (forgive I've already said this, I sometimes forget what I've already posted where). I don't carry mine regularly because it's too precious but it hadn't been handed down and belonged to someone else's grandmother I prob wouldn't be so careful.

I don't know what size yours is but I've tried the 32 empty and it's quite heavy (even the 26 is heavy). If you are carrying it all day bear it in mind. Be very careful when you open and close it, everything needs to be completely aligned before either operation. Not a bag to be in a hurry with. They were not really supposed to be used as handbags but jewellery boxes ad therefore security was a priority not access.

As you can see I'm wearing mine with blue but I'd happily wear a Rouge H with navy, grey or black. I keep the silhouette slim and/or smart.

Those Norwegian hand-knitted walking socks are not just for show but wear them on the hills, not with the bag and shoes, I have worn the Gucci shoes with the bag though.

I am honored to be a sister of the SAM with one so stylish.:hugs:

You had previously warned me that the 32 is heavy and you were right. I would have preferred a smaller one, but made my selection on condition and price. I envision it as a date bag. When I figure out some "costumes" to wear with it, I will have DH take me to outdoor cafes and will give Sammie her own chair. I can bear the weight from the car to restaurant.

This one amazingly came with both keys. It was hard to figure out how the keys work. I still haven't figured out to to make the upper opening stay in unlocked position so that I only have to open the two clasps and not a lock and two clasps. But I really get you about everything needing to align.

Well, there's no doubt it, you and Sammie are going to be the most stylish ever on date night whichever costumes you choose to wear. Fabulous!
 
Ok, I rallied to participate today. Not sure which is more difficult: selfies or DH as photographer. I am starting to think that those of you who are good at selfies have a spare
finger on your camera hand.

So pleased you participated Cordeliere. Loving this dusky colour, and especially the scarf/sunglasses combo, that's a very fashionable a la 70s look atm.

You knock the spots of my selfies, I manage to block out the best parts of my outfit when I take them.

I like this look! Chic nonchalance. Looking forward to your date night outfit with the SAM too.

+1 on your gorgeous skin. And the blouse is so pretty and delicate. What did you pair it with for the rest of your outfit?

@scarf1 - gorgeous moussie. I love it with the purple.
 
I retuned home late from a hospital visit this evening. Daytime was spent trying on hats and jewellery for dress-up Thursday.

I was hunting for a turban and came home with a gold straw boater (I'd wanted the boater since last year).

The first, me and my 'mates' at Gucci trying a silk/cotton velvet turban. Lovely hat ad still considering it. I'm a small in Gucci hats an this was Large, I still think I need larger.

Second, a fabulous turban in a dept store. More expensive than Gucci but not sure about the black (my last turban was brown). I'm also wondering if I can make one like it.

The last hat I'm seriously considering because I have nothing like it and I think it's absolutely beautiful (esp if I was wearing a LBD or blck suit).
