Hermes Cafe Bon Temps~Good Times Cafe

"Patchwork" probably does not represent it very clearly. The color was uniform, it was just a change of texture AS IF they were different pieces, but i doubt they were. It was very simple.

The necklce was Gold, certainly gold.

I thought it was interesting because i have been making necklaces for myself for many years, using different materials. A few years ago i used antique keys as pendants. I used a thin strip of suede or leather to hang them.

Later i noticed Uno de 50 made pendants with keys, and now H. Of course H's key is beautiful and stylized. The Uno de 50's key pendant looked a lot like the key of an old Spanish cellar, with an almost organic vibe.

The ones i used for my own necklaces ranged from very rustic, rusted iron keys to the most ornate bronze keys.

Same object, very different looks.

I missed the update to your post. Yes it looked like a key to me too. I'll have to go back to see the dress. I really like some of the ready to wear. They are stepping up their game. I will probably have to forego a skirt for now but I'm hoping for at least one or two pieces.


I'm excited about this suit from the Chanel show. Wouldn't it look great with my colvert Kelly?

I am about to stay away from work for one and a half weeks for a relaxing vacation with my family in Florida. Here it comes: Hurricane Matthew. I hope everything will be fine. Airlines started texting to me for "possible delays and cancellations". This is upsetting and it worries me.

I hope it stays away! Stay safe!

Did you see the white dress/skirt with pleated details? Is that similar to the leather skirt you wanted? Only it doesn't look like it's leather. If it came in some other fabric but same silhouette, you might come to like it as well

I did. It's pretty. I actually think I like the black leather skirt for spring even more. The SA for the Hermes rtw event at my local store was wearing something similar from a past season and I loved it. Even more than the pleated skirt. So I sure the right skirt will come along some day. [emoji16]

Am I the last person on earth to know about this: apparently this is lily rose depp who Wikipedia tells me is the 17 year old daughter of Johnny depp. I asked DH if he thought she practiced this facial expression and he explained to me that this is resting b#+%h face. It's a thing? Really? I wonder if I should practice it. Or maybe get more Botox? It seems like the look might ward off any nonsense to which others might seek to subject one. I might try it.

I think some women are actually "gifted" with having a resting b*tch face. It almost guarantees that anyone who attempts to interact with you will have a genuine concern. Otherwise, those who will only bug/annoy you maybe deterred. Remember Meryl Streep in the Devil wears Prada? Perfect!

And beautiful jacket! Go get it

I have a b*&ch face that I mostly use when I'm walking around the city (any city) to ward off crazies, weirdos, druggies, and lewd men. Although I have to say, I don't think about "putting it on" - it just happens lol. I didn't know it was a "thing" either, and I don't think I would have recognized her expression as such. Too funny.

A few times a year I get into a beading frenzy and will work 12 hours straight if necessary to get the necklace right. I get beads either at shows or Bedazzled. I don't see as many artist glass beads available as I did so the necklaces are simpler and of course, cheaper. But I miss the color harmonies prompted by a humongous center bead set in a multi-strand necklace. I can see why seniors take up quilting. Working out patterns and color coordination/harmonies is really relaxing.

You have taken necklaces to the next level by moving beyond beads. I like Uno de 50 bracelets and rings -- I have a chunky bracelet by them. The key designs sound great. Innovative. And any movement might make the keys chime a little bit, a plus. I will have to search Uno de 50 for that key design, I'd like to see it -- and, anything of yours. My necklaces are probably not as visually arresting as yours.

Is the skirt a culotte? Seems to be split down the middle. Stylistically, that'd be fine. Is it a wool tweed?

Honestly, as nice as the suit is I think you'd get tons more wear out of a well-cut black leather skirt. A good cut would make it elegant but the leather makes it sporty. So, it becomes a really stylish skirt that can be dressed up or down. Think of the variety of shoes and boots you can pair with it! Leather is such a contemporary fabric, too, it's "of the moment."

I think the accessories of the blue tweed suit are trying to give it a casual vibe but a tailored suit (and that suit is finely tailored, just look at the sleeves and shoulders) to me cancels out the casual effect. And, the blue color is more limiting compared with black.
Hang on till you get to Paris. You will kick yourself if you see something you've never even imagined before and you can't get it b/c you got something in the U.S. The U.S. stock will be here before you go and it'll probably be here after you come back.

So sorry to hear this Cremel, but hopefully all we be well.

Sorry but I agree with Eagle.
The short sleeves on the jacket are also throwing me off as that seems more casual.

Thanks for the advice guys. The leather skirt and the suit are spring 2017 so I will have time to mull it over (and save up.) The suit is a lighter weight tweed for spring. The skirt has a zipper front. It's not culottes. I have three black Chanel jackets and one navy. So I think I'm set for black for the duration. [emoji23]

Yes RBF is a thing and I have it. ha ha The passage of time and gravity contribute to it for me.. There were a bunch of you tube videos about it over the last couple of years. Everyone assumes you are unhappy or annoyed or judgmental. Face reading software says it is faint contempt. Kanye West is the prototype for male RBF. Do not practice it. Don't ever let your face go there for the first time if you can avoid it. It is not a good thing.

I'm kind of reading it as "don't f@&# with me face. Don't even think about f#*&@ing with me." And at the moment I'm finding that very appealing. [emoji23][emoji23]
