The SO has a ...habit of finding out what I want (because I keep staring at stuff) and getting them for me when I least expect. Several pairs of CL's have come my way from impromptu purchases from him, but this year I've been even more spoiled!
We took a trip to Cabo recently and the best shelter from the heat was Luxury Avenue (amazing air conditioning, cool/splashy sinks) which housed several shops, including UltraJewels. He walked out with a Panerai 292 for himself and the 282 for me! It initially came with a blue alligator strap so he also bought me a rubber strap because I'm an OCD handwasher!
And the reason why the thread is in this section: More than once have I wandered into H after staring at all the amazing leather & silk products that TPF members have shown and walked out empty handed. We went in a few weeks ago and walked out because my calves were too big for the jumping boots. Then I read that people had had them stretched at their cobblers! I regained hope and wandered in again with the SO this afternoon. He wanted to buy his mother a purse, so we looked around and walked out with two big H shopping bags in the San Francisco rain.
Sadly, I can't post a photo of the purse he got his mom as I really don't want to ruin the wrapping and pristine tissue paper but it was a 31 Rouge Vif Bolide! Now I want a 30 or 35 Rouge Vif/GHW birkin ><
But I did walk out with a box of my own!
Niz was very interested in the contents of the box. (He has a thing for nicer leathers... he ate the interior of the SO's previous car!)
"Definitely smells edible, mom!"
He gave it a couple of nose pokes...
