Hi Nicole. I'm practicing patience for my bracelet. I thought it would be an early birthday present but as it turns out it's a good thing I ordered early or I wouldn't have it in time. They are doing everything they can to bring it here quickly.

Dior seems to have a little bit for everyone although they are going through a bit if a transition. Their prices are much more friendly than Chanel, too. I'm finding out that it's a somewhat stressful shopping experience though. I thought I had seen everything with Hermes and Chanel. Unless you live in a larger city with a large Dior store it's tough to find pieces and there is a whole rigmarole to get things. I'm talking to New York directly now. And not about complicated things. Just simple pieces. I'm just not prepared to go down another rabbit hole of stressful shopping experiences so if this doesn't work out, I'll walk away. Or just shop when I'm in Paris. It is so much less stressful.

The louboutin block heels look nice. They are cut low in the front so I hope I will like them. The miss tack model was somewhat similar and very popular. I hope these are an updated version.

You are being very patient with the bracelet. I was shocked when I saw your post, especially since Cartier shopping has always been such an easy experience in the past. I hope that is not changing now that they are getting trendy with some of their styles. I especially hope that you get your bracelet in time for your birthday since it holds such significance.
Regarding Dior, I live in a reasonably large city but we have few boutiques, only spaces in department stores. It is the same for Chanel. So options are limited but I am not looking to have a wardrobe of Dior, only a few pieces would be nice since there is an easy elegance that I like.
Your feet are definitely stronger than mine are, so it is exciting to see a block heel CL that I could actually wear. I only have one pair remaining of CL currently, and even those I cannot wear, but they were my HG shoe from way back when so I have to keep them for the memories.

Well thank you. You are sweet. I don't think my bracelet is a very popular model so I don't think they keep a lot in stock. I think that's the issue. More people like to collect the love bracelets. But I have a feeling it will arrive sooner rather than later.

Yes, I hope so! It is certainly a beautiful, classic style, but quite unique in the bracelet form vs the ring or earrings.

Oh wow! I didn't know some passports required a visa for entry in the U.K. Interesting because I am from a very unwealthy country and we need visa for china Indonesia Canada and USA (from my personal experience)
But not to Korea Europe or the U.K.

I have followed this discussion with interest as I also love a good block heeled pump. My personal favorite, not mentioned here yet, is Tod's. It offers a couple of versions of loafer style pumps with a 3 inch block heel. The suede double-T has a stacked wooden heel which I think is more durable than a suede covered heel. These shoes are so comfortable I can wear them for 10 hours with no discomfort. Currently available on mytheresa.com.

Tod's make a great quality product. I have scores of the loafers as they were my work shoes. I also use them for travel in the thick rubber sole style as they are great for cobble stone streets. I replaced some heels and soles here and there, but on the whole they don't wear out. I also have the heels in the loafer style. I have had them a long time and they have never gone out of fashion. My only problem is that I seldom wear 3 in heels now.

The slides are also soooooo useful. I wear them all summer.
