First, I was bag at the Paris sale - bought TWO cashmere/silk shawls and 1 vintage carre. Then today, we went to the FSH store. I wanted to try on several bags that I had previously rejected when I weighed so much more - Linday, Victoria, Evelyne - they still just don't work for me. Then I asked what they had in Chartreuse. The SA said they get very little in Chartreuse - mainly get Vert Anis - would that do? No, I want Chartreuse - much prefer it. She had a Trim and a Picotin. I knew I didnt want a Trim, but she said the Picotin was a PM. I thought that would be WAY too small but decided to try it. Gosh - it was VERY cute! I then tried a MM in another color - not nearly as good on me. My daughter much preferred the PM but I was worried it wouldn't hold everything. Amazingly, it held everything that was in my 32 Kelly! Who knew! So, I took a deep breathe and said, "I'll take it". Utter madness! But I have wanted something in Chartreuse and something I could carry in the summer when my style is so very casual. It will be perfect and this one HAS to be the final one for my collection. I cannot believe I have purchased THREE Hermes bags in 15 months! And 4 cashmere shawls in under a years!!! Bad girl! Bad girl!!! But with this impending price increase, it seemed like now was the time to buy this - also, less expensive in Paris than the US, plus THEY HAD IT IN CHARTREUSE!
When I get home, I'll do a reveal. That is, I'll do a reveal when I get home AND have power once again - been out now since early Wed AM and little hope in sight. There is a big snow storm expected on Mon/Tues so they better get it on before then or I'll have to wait for the spring thaw! I have no idea where I am going to go - will stay at my daughter's on Sun night as she does have some lights and running water due to their generator - no heat, though. But on Monday when I gather up my 3 dogs, I am out of options - she has cats and that won't work, and I not only have no heat, but no water (had to drain the pipes due to cold - down to 12F tonight). There's not a hotel/motel to be had in town. I'd stay in Paris but I must get back to the dogs - they've been from pillar to post due to my idiot pet sitter.

) and your new shawls. And yes- we are all "bad" when it comes to Hermès... But we support each other through the rough times, so no worries!
