[emoji23][emoji23]one day I was semi joking with someone and asked him how many times he had divorced. He said " you read too many gossiping stories about Hollywood folks."
Not at all. My SA spoke with me yesterday after she came back from visiting Hermes headquarter. She said no shipping at all in her store.
So the low inventory is everywhere? And I thought we were just slow in getting new stuff cause we're in the other side of the globe...
News of a family splitting is sad, whether celebrity or not. The kids have to suffer from hearing horrendous things about their parents from other people... I hope they shield their children from the tabloids...

As I understand it, each kid has their own nanny and the whole polyglot mixture speaks French.
Anybody loves Hugh Laurie? My DH is suggesting "the night manager". We watched Dr House before and enjoyed it. I wonder if anyone saw this new drama?
True. I even heard from a friend that Hollywood stars actually, pretty common, hires two nannies for one kid.
Hi Cremel, hope you are well.
We have just finished watching this and enjoyed it a lot.
The other main draw in this is Olivia Coleman who I enjoy, and there is also Tom Hiddleston, ex Mr Taylor swift and prospective James Bond I believe.
Ladies, enjoy the "luxury" convo again.
Pressed for time, so I am using the "like" button a lot rather than individually commenting.
Many good points raised here, and one's I resonate with.
Pre H, I started with LV as my first "luxury" goods.
I used my LV speedy every day for work going to clients and enjoyed the feeling of a bit of "luxury" and it making me feel special.
There were a few things that stopped me using it which all seemed to hit at the same time.
LV awareness exploded, pre Social Media it was quite low key, hard to believe now, but true.
I had one unpleasant new client meeting who asked if my DH had given me my bag for having a baby, first I had ever heard of that and I was quite offended, although now I believe it is common as a "push" present.
Also I was made redundant and started my own business out of necessity, and the relationships shifted.
Previously I was just sent to do a job as an employee to these clients.
Now, I was the boss and setting the fees, and I feel embarrassed at "flaunting" my expensive bag that they are paying for.
The industry sector that I work in is not well heeled.
I believe that certain sectors expect you to turn up well dressed and "aspirational" because if you re doing well, then you will enable them to do well.
Sadly, the industry I work in do not appear to think like this, and expect you to be just like them and averagely dressed and with an average car etc.
I now do not wear a good bag for work, and wear almost scruffy clothes to both "blend" in and also because most of the conditions are dirty.
And agree with Mrs O and Cremel, luxury to me would be time, we never have it any more and I long for it.
I have just realised how ironic this statement is considering my opening statement of the post........
Is ironic even the correct word?...

Oh gosh. I introduced the Brad and Angelina thing as something more lighthearted to talk about so we wouldn't all be getting worked up about groveling at Hermes. Now the B/A thing is getting ugly. Geez. Sorry. The weather anyone? Still hot here but it should be in the 60s by the weekend.
Did it? i haven't scrolled back, that stuff should go to the Celeb thread but it's vicious in there.
ok, weather- it's been cooler and 60s in the mornings heading up to 80s which still feels hot to me. i have to go to an evening brand event and will wear a sleepless dress and bring my jean jacket.
i got a bunch of look books in the mail and saw a Chanel tee that intrigued me. Black 3/4 with cardi style buttons on the back that can be unbuttoned for a casual look. Going to investigate and put it on the back burner. My local H boutique is having a grand reopening soon and i'm preparing for "something" really great to find me. Who knows but i'm excited to see the new store. on the inventory question as our store is moving the stock has been warehoused for the move and my SA says it's quiet with not much out. I imagine silk tumbleweeds blowing around. [emoji6]
must run, biggish project this weekend and lots to do today. hope everyone has a wonderful day!!
Not us. We were well behaved. Hotmail news this morning has ugly allegations about B/A. Not even going to repeat them.
The tee sounds very interesting. And the store opening very exciting.
I'm going to a ready to wear event at my Hermes store this weekend. Should be interesting. Thus far I have bought two pairs of pants that I really like. They mix well with my Chanel jackets. I'm looking forward to seeing if they have any other contemporary/ classic pieces that I can sprinkle into my wardrobe.
I think you bought the beige Chanel jacket. Tonkamama is modeling hers on the Chanel jacket thread and it looks amazing. Beautiful piece. I regret that when my SA had me try it she gave me one that was clearly two sizes too big and I immediately dismissed it. Maybe I should look again.
My Paris trip is coming up fast. I'm starting to get really excited. I booked a day trip to the countryside to see a few castles and vineyards. And two pastry classes at the Ritz escoffier.
Have a great day everyone

Yes i loved it! Hugh Laurie here is a bit different than in House but you will definitely enjoy his acting. I wish he made more movies/ tv shows. And of course there's Tom. Tell us what you think!
