I'll fess up my Eclipse bag.

I got an email from my SA about a bag the Saturday before the Eclipse. I emailed back that I would love to see the bag, but my week was extremely busy. That being said I left my office early and made a mad dash to the DC Hermes. I also spoke to DH about the bag and he said I have a birthday coming up, so if I liked the bag, to get it. (LOVE DH!!!)

Well I thought the bag was a Podium Order. It wasn't. I have been asking about a 24 Constance for about 3 years to no avail. And I would die for one with Rose Gold Hardware.

So without further adieu, introducing my one of a kind store special order Horseshoe Vert Anglais/Gris Mouette Swift Constance 24 with Rose Gold Hardware.

It's really a very special bag. I would love to bring it on my trip, but I would worry about it.

I wear Chucks everywhere. The kind that you just have to slip on and not lace up. I have three pairs of them and will probably get a fourth pair (simple black).

Prepster, I may take your advice and build my travel wardrobe around a simple black Chanel jacket. I also just picked up this Brunello Cucchinelli skirt. It is absolutely fantastic on. I can definitely build some fun fashion forward outfits with it. With the built in leggings, it is very comfortable to wear. Plus, I've always wanted a tulle skirt. It's the frustrated ballerina in me.

German mother speaking: nope! First interruption: listen if it's something really important like " I lost my finger in the kitchen machine". In this case, answer to the question / statement. If it's NOT important, answer in a nice, but very clear manner, pointing out that interrupting people is not. acceptable. If child goes on, repeat less nicely: " what did I say?" and end the discussion with " end of discussion".

Second: sure if the boy sits in a barn. If not, not.
It's endemic over here, that putting the own children on a throne. I know parents don't like it, when others complain:sad:

What a great, well put, well reasoned response! Thank you @millivanilli

My kids knew better than to contact me at work. If the school/daycare called that was another story. That's how "a roll and a bowl of peas" was born Chez eb. Once the daycare contacted me that DS was misbehaving. I spoke to DS and disciplined him. The next day same issue. So when we got home that night he was sent to his room with a roll, a bowl of peas and a glass of water. No further issues at the daycare.

However, with DD, the same punishment did not work out so well. DD ground the peas into the carpet. She was such a challenging kid. Now she's such a great adult.

Can I ask what you did when confronted with the carpet? She sure sounds spunky, a real firecracker!

I love this skirt! Most of the time I take a black Chanel jacket. My latest favorite is the black from Cruise 2016. It can be paired with everything. I was so tempted to take it again on this upcoming trip, but listened to DH's common sense and will leave it home. Not taking any significant jewelry either. Diamond studs don't count, do they? :p Black Vince leather slip- ons for me plus white canvas Superga sneakers . I tried the Chucks and they just don't fit me:confused1: I have always traveled with Tod's loafers, but this time I think the Vince is the better choice with the sneaker soles. The Tod's are great in Europe, but somehow, I don't see them for this trip.

Hi Oliver, love this photo! I haven't seen the collection of your cup! And is that a Hermes cigar holder too?

Thank you very much!

The cup is from the "Fil d'argent" collection, the spoon from the HTS (Hermès tout simple) collection and that little ash tray is also from Hermès - I don't remember the name but they can be found here, albeit with different decors: http://usa.hermes.com/home/art-of-living/ashtrays-change-trays.html please scroll all the way down.

Kind regards,
Oliver
