Well I lated about 7 weeks (almost 2 months) on my ban....but I just had an urge to spend today! So I made the trek to Chicago and had a blast!
I went there with the intention of buying something on my list (see signature) and I didn't
Instead my SA showed me the new Vernis and wow I fell in love immediately. I am a sucker for RED!
I previously had never considered Vernis...too high maintenance I thought. But then it was
when I saw.....THE ROXBURY in POMME D'AMOUR! Just wow...it is breathtaking...and I took it home!
For anyone not a fan of this ...give it a second chance or consider it. It is breathtaking!!!!!!!!!! Just WOW! ***PICS at the end of post***
That was it for Louis today....mostly because I KNOW I will most likely end up with the Dentelle speedy next month, I want the Hampstead PM as well, and I need some of the new scarves/bandeaus coming out.
I also got a chance to see the heart purses IRL. Not a fan of the MC. LOVED the Pomme & the Perle. But I think the Perle would get too dirty and too high a risk of color transfer.
I took a peek through the whole look book. I really like the Damier Hampstead!
Not a fan of the new Mini Lin because the handles are white and I worry too much about dirt.
The Patchwork speedy is still listed at $1890.
The Valentines pastilles are super cute!
The inclusion wouldn't fit on my wrist (the bangle...I have fat hands I guess)...saved me money I guess!
People looking for things:
Michigan AVe. Saks has clear inclusion bracelet, bubble rings, Jack & Lucy keychains, mirror ball keychains, inventeur key chains. Also have a bunch of Pomme stuff (no more Roxburys though
).
Phew...that's it I think! I was in the boutique talking with the manager and my SA for over an hour after making my purchase! Lots of hugs and just a great time!
Also ended up with a Gino's East deep dish pizza (for dinner tomorrow), a Cheesecake Factory cheesecake, 2 pillows for hubby, Juicy Couture perfume set, and had dinner at Ed Debrevnics (which was sooooo much fun!)
PICS as promised:
