Has anyone ever purchased clothing from the French brand Agnes B? I wandered in today after admiring the mannequins in the window for the last few days, and accidentally came out with 5 new items! The fabrics they use are very comfortable and lightweight, and the style is that simple Parisian elegance/effortlessly chic look.
I had something. Honestly, don’t remember the chic, remember very casual. But it’s not trendy to say ‘casual’ any longer, today it is called ‘street chic’ instead. Like old dirty jeans are grunge chic
(and grass used to be greener back in my days, I know, I sound like a grumpy old lady)
That’s interesting - there was nary a “street style” item in the store! Everything was very polished. All the pieces I got are for work. Will try and share some pics tomorrow!
That bag is so attractive, I’d wear all week too, except that I fear my things would fall out, I have to have secure top. But that Picotin looks fab on you
No, don’t get me wrong. That was a general statement
I remember, what I had were good quality very casual clothes
I was grumpy last night, we came from a dinner with my daughter’s classmate’s parents. It was the first time they invited us and my husband fell asleep there
we know how to make a first impression
It's been a busy few weeks but things are finally settling down! The apartment is coming together a little bit at a time. We're just filling things in with a few more pieces of furniture and finishing hanging all of the artwork! I've also been keeping busy with engagement activities - making registries (takes a lot longer than I thought!) and starting to look at wedding venues! SO and I agreed that being engaged doesn't feel all that different since we've been together for so long, but I think it might start to hit us once wedding planning really gets under way. As for now, it feels like we are playing an extended game of house more than anything else!
There was definitely a good mix of casual and elevated casual! I guess it's a good thing your husband felt so comfortable so as to fall asleep? Must've been a very funny thing to explain to your hosts!No, don’t get me wrong. That was a general statement

Thank you! I love it for summer. I have not had anything fall out but there are other security concerns. With the lock attached and the strap pulled tight it’s somewhat secure, but I’m still very cautious in crowded transit etc. as it’s easy to dip into. I tried a small dust bag inside to hold all my items, as my regular insert does not fit if I use the lock. I also have a scarf in a small pouch that I put over the top.
I used it without the lock when I first got it and my insert fit, it was easy to access everything but then the shape was completely different and it was too open for transit. I was so freaked out to get on a rush hour bus that I started using the lock.
Here it the shape without the lock.

That’s fantastic progress! And so exciting to be able to register for nice things at this time, so you can plan your interim purchases and anticipate future items.
I still have a couple of boxes left around the place but I’m somewhat determined to get them sorted this weekend. And I may be ordering my dinner table and chairs. Then I’m done with major purchases for the year, I think.
We are yet to hang up our pictures. Maybe this weekend. It would be nice to get them off the floor. Alas some of my larger paintings that looked proportionate in my high ceiling loft look oversized in the apartment. And a bit too feminine for a shared space.
We each came with too much furniture and are trying to get rid of some. My problem is that pieces that worked *perfectly* for my old place don’t fit the new layout or functionality, and I’m still figuring all of it out.
