V0N, was that "Cabat" real leather? I see some pleather ones in boutiques around here with the same height/width proportions.
It's always nice to come here and read the chat....feels like home, or cyber home. ksuromax, are you keeping that little kitty? He looks like a "Maple" to me.

I don't think it was. I didn't really look too closely, tbh. It had a striped cotton lining but it didn't feel like leather and I think it was in the $50 range so I'll go with pleather.
I checked out the new mega mall in the area as I thought I would pop down to the States yesterday. I had a significant amount of packages to pick up and dammit if I didn't miss the shipping place by two minutes. I was not pleased after driving three hours so I thought I would console myself and check out the new Off 5th.
Waste of time. The ones in the US usually have really good jewellery but this one was... crap. Their accessories were meh, no good scarves. They had a few Roberto Cavalli ones but the silk was not up to my standards, lol. The few Missoni scarves were pre-packaged in boxes. Pre-packaged!
They had like 7 or 8 Balenciaga bags. Which brings me to BV - keeping sort of on topic. The outlet has started their Black Friday sales already. If I have time tonight I will post up some deals.
Other than that, the weather here has been, uh... wet
Erg! How vexing!
A pretty relaxing weekend here. The weather was warm-ish. Had lunch outside and was in shorts. USC won so the household was happy.
So this is a cute story.
My cousin's 9 year old daughter, Carlotta is wild about Harry. She lives in Berlin so visits are infrequent. She wrote a note to wish Harry a happy birthday. And honestly I forgot all about it. I was so wrapped up in the wacky week we've had. Anyhow, I sent a note back thanking her and letting her know I had forgotten but had made up for it with toys and treats and cuddles and a walk today that went on FOREVER because I let him sniff anything he wanted. The note back from her was 'Keine Ursache und alles Gute' or roughly translated 'accepted and no worries.' I had better be a better mummy or I do believe Carlotta will file a complaint.

The first one that i picked up a few weeks back has grown up A LOT, now when i hold this one i see how tiny he is, and how well the first one looks/feels, so yes, we definitely keep this one until it grows big and strong enough
sorta Kitty rehab
we live in a house (they call them villas here) and there's a small garden around it, it's just impossible to keep a cat full time in, they see each other through the window, they want to play and mingle, so our big cat Peach keeps on coming and going back and forth, sometimes he brings his GF and their kitty over to treat them with HIS SPECIAL food (so funny to watch them!!) but we leave the choice to him, and most likely to both new kittens as well, whether they want to be a stay-at-home cat, or an alpha-male who is free to come and go
Did I mention Harry likes to be held? DH snapped this as I was checking on some soup.
Have you seen the Geico commercial with the raccoons eating trash? I just love it!
Another piece of the BV color puzzle: but it's still a mystery to me....
My new pillow bag in New Fume. Awhile back, Grietje posted photos of her New Sand Bella bag. It made me want a bag in a muted, neutral color even though my wardrobe prefers clear colors. When I saw the New Fume I jumped on it. I chose the pillow as there wasn't a medium convertible bag available in this color. All photos are of it next to the NLG pillow for comparison. I was wearing a bluish gray dress at the time and loved this color with it. I personally feel like the first photo is the best representation of the color....it's also the best representation of the NLG bag so that's influencing my feelings.

Shall we call it a Pillow day??
I am trying on mine, getting used to it, tho it feels odd (yet), but I saw the heads turning and following looks all the way and teen girls were wow-ing at it, so I can say yes, for sure the colour is what I wanted, perfect silver metallic, hope the style will work for me as well, just need to short list my stuff
