Hermes Cafe Bon Temps~Good Times Cafe

[etoile de mer]

thank you! i sent it back, it is beautiful but a trusted friend saw me try it on again today and we weren't sold so back it went. I'm working on the misfit free closet too! now the earrings are LOVE!

I love sterling silver, and Hermes silver is exceptionally beautiful! I'm hoping to try the Ever Chaine d'Ancre necklaces, soon. Ragarding the misfit free closet, I've been slowly sorting through clothes. I've already donated a lot, feels good! Now I have to make another pass.

I cannot use electronic calendars, although I use millions of other phone apps. I need my moleskin. A different color each year.

I use the tiny wafer diary from Smythson, it comes with a tiny pencil!

Hi Etoile, let us know how you like them if you ready any.

Will do!

Hi Cafe, stopping in to recommend some mindless fun. DH and I both have colds so we had to cancel our weekend at the Cape, but we wanted to get out of the house so I took him to see the new Brigid Jones movie. It's not as good as the first two, and of course we are all getting older, but it was good fun. Like comfort food. And how could one not feel better watching Colin Firth? He will always be my type, my Mr.Darcy. No Hugh Grant this time. I guess he was busy with more highbrow things. I give Colin Firth credit for indulging us in this good fun and not deciding that he's above it all now that he has an Oscar. I don't think it follows the book, which I think was less happy, so I refuse to read it.

While lying on the sofa I'm searching for pieces to wear with the Chanel jackets that I bought for fall-- like jeans skirts and dresses.. Does anyone else find it hard to find jeans that are a medium rinse but without the overly done fading at the thighs? That only serves to make my thighs look larger than they are.

Burberry had some solid dark washes - but they were a bit flared @Pocketbook Pup

Yes, hard to find jeans, I hate shopping for pants! If you find a good brand, let us know. We watched the Woody Allen movie, "Hollywood Ending" last night. Was very funny. Feel better soon!

Feel better soon, PbP! Yes, I think jeans are made to cause women angst. The hip "whiskering" and thigh fading are precisely placed to widen the areas that don't need it. Rise, fabrication, and cut all mess with what size will fit, or not. They are a staple and a nightmare.

Fee better soon Ppup. I found some good jeans in Neiman before that meet your requirement. I also don't prefer the ones faded too much myself. Just cannot recall the brand.

Agreed with you Mindi. I also don't find the fading look pretty. I prefer to have more consistent color tones on my thighs and actually all over the legs.

PPUP- hope you and your DH feel better soon!

Found the brands from NM: J Brand Jeans and CJ by cookie Johnson. I have one pair with straight legs and the other with flare cut. They are on the darker side but definitely not much fading on thighs. Are you looking for straight cut or flare ?

Hi everyone. Thanks for the suggestions, I'm looking for skinny but not ultra skinny. And a cropped straight leg. I love j brand, but they either have dark rinses, which I have, or the faded high contrast ones. One pair I tried was a good color buthad too much spandex and looked too form fitting. I decided to try citizens of humanity which I used to wear. They have some medium rinses that are of uniform color. I'll let you know how they work for me.

You might want to look at AG, I find they have a straight cut with just enough stretch. I think they're very flattering jeans in lots of washes. I have a few totally solid washes with no fading/whiskering. You might like The Stilt which is very straight but comes in cropped also and lots of solid rinses.

Thanks. I'll take a look at that brand too. I know that buying jeans through the mail isn't the best but the last few times I tried looking in stores the selection was dismal.
