I love big cats scarves too. Mine is all cashmere tho. I think the cats will work well with the shoes. [emoji7][emoji7]
Four months after giving birth people were still asking me "when are you due ?". And when I was pregnant with my second one people from various occasions asked if I was having twins. Now you could imagine how big my mid section has become(ugh!!!)
I am not a fan. They are very sturdy, but pretty heavy. And while they protect the content (which is good), they dent easily (which does not look good).
To be 100% honest, I'm over expensive luggage, so I may be a little biased.
After spending thousands of dollars for expensive bags that would get beaten up, scratched, torn etc (yes, including Tumi and Rimowa, and all the bags that claim to be indestructible), I decided that I am fine with buying cheaper luggage and replace it more often. The airplanes luggage compartment is not where I want to show my style
The exception is my carry on. In that case, I really like Tumi and I'm sticking with it.
It never ceases to surprise me how rude people are nowadays. Everyone feels entitled to comment on other people's shape, form, weight, height, whatever.
years ago I used to wear a pretty summer dress with an empire waist and everyone started asking me if I was pregnant (no, I was not fat at all), which would not have been any of their business anyway.
Thank you very much! I need to start taking a bit more risks rather than always playing it safe.
I love the color of these; it goes well with my K and my B and even will look great with my special order I think.
The heels aren't that bad! 4" but they are thick. But maybe I am biased towards high heels so I'm used to them.
Thank you!
Thank you! Congratulations on securing the jacket! I'd love to see it when it comes.
I do spend a lot of time walking. I almost always hit at least 10,000 steps per day. I don't own a pair of sneakers actually, and only one pair of flat boots (that I haven't worn in over a year).... no other flat shoes. I walk every day in my Louboutins, Manolos, etc with heels 100-120mm. A large majority of my heels are thin and I've never had any issues walking in them. Plus I wouldn't put shoes in my bag
Before I buy a pair of shoes, I make sure to walk around the store with them a while.... I won't buy a pair of shoes I can't walk for hours in since I am always on my feet. Maybe I wouldn't care about the comfort as much if I lived somewhere else and walked less.
However, it's all about what you are used to! I've been wearing very high heels since I was about 13 or 14... not designer or anything, but the height is the same. I actually find kitten heels to be hard to walk in which is why I don't own a single pair; something about the small heel makes me think it won't support me.
I guess it all depends on what you're used to, but you've 100% of my admiration.
4" heels are something I cannot deal with, unless they have a 2" platform
About a year ago I bought rimowa salsa air in the carry on size. It is very lightweight, which is great for lifting into overhead bin. This was the main reason we bought it. It has been checked a couple of times. A few scratches, no dents. Have been happy with it.
But when it comes to a bigger suitcase that you would always check- not sure.

Thank you all. I'm always surprised to hear so many women say they can't walk in heels, but even people I see offline ask me the same thing.
I remember back a few months ago I bought a pair of 115mm Manolos that were very hard to break in. They are fine now, but I remember them being painful the first two weeks or so and walking to Hermes in them and passing by a very chic woman effortlessly walking in beautiful heels that had to be about 120mm. I admired her and thought if she could do it, I could win over the Manolos.

Thank you gracekelky , scarf1, and madmadcat. This was recommended by my brother who travels every week. Obviously he recommends any German stuff because he works for German company. [emoji848]I was told by the store manager that this would never dent blah blah. I decided to come back and do research first. It's really expensive for a luggage. Let me check out Tumi. I need something that has a hard surface so stuff inside doesn't get crashed.
I don't use the rigid Tumi, just their ballistic nylon ones, but they have enough structure to make it harder to get crushed (not impossible).
After many many years and many many air-miles, I only use nylon bags, wheeled, and cheap for check-in. IF something is fragile, I put it in a hard box and I put the box in the nylon suitcase.
Some time ago I was reading about women injecting codeine and other numbing agents in their feet to be able to stand on their heels during parties and long evenings clubbing. Others take Advil. I am not sure I'd ever be able to go to that length for the sake of look.
(*so jealous*)
You missed the conversation just a few days ago where I was complaining about how I can't walk in heels, as I walk everywhere as well. Tell me your secret, please! No issues with pavement/concrete in thin leather soles?
I dislocated/broke my ankle a few years ago and after that, I have not really attempted to wear heels much. I've tried all kinds of insoles and brands and while I love my Manolos, I can't walk very far in them like I used to. They used to be so comfortable, I could run in them, but not any more. Choos are pretty much car shoes for me. I have been gradually increasing the heel height, but I tend to reach for low heels or flats if I know I will be walking around a lot.
I love heels (and haven't yet jumped on board with the flat love quite yet -- for me at least; they look great on others), but I would never go to that length to wear them. If a shoe doesn't feel comfortable walking around the store, I won't buy it. I'm willing to deal with a one or two week period of slight discomfort as the shoe stretches to my foot and I break it in (which happens with any shoe really...) but that's about it.
I have walked away on lovely looking shoes before because I do need them to be walkable. If I lived somewhere else and was going from car to restaurant etc, it might be different..... but NYC requires walking.
Slow steps up might get you there. I've thankfully never had any foot injury though... But I think if your Manolos were once that comfortable for you, with time you can train your foot to adapt to them so well again. I don't run (except if I"m about to miss a train....) but I speedwalk in most of my Manolos/Choos/Louboutins etc. People usually complain I walk too fast, at least.
I'm pretty short and, as I've mentioned before here, gained a rather significant amount of weight about a year ago so try to avoid any shoe that makes my legs look chunky.... which, for me, is usually flats and lower heels. I passed on a beautiful pair of shoes for this reason last week.... they just weren't flattering on me. On the right person, though...
As far as pavement and concrete goes, I'm always fine. Perhaps I'm a light walker since I've never had to get a sole repaired at The Leather Shop or etc yet. But what bothers me is cobblestone.... like the kind by Central Park. One of my favorite champagne lounges in Soho involves a bit of a walk through cobblestone to get to as well. I try to avoid wearing my Pigalle Follies (which has a thinner heel than regular) if I know I'll be walking on cobblestone for more than a few minutes. I can be careful about the cracks for a short period of time, but any more than a few minutes gets a bit annoying to me.... I'm a fast walker and like to get places quickly.
