Oh I don’t argue your knowledge or opinion, just making a general statement
I’m certain other people here would be better than I am at telling whether or not something is truly a fake!

Nah, these are pretty obvious fakes.
The really good ones scare the h*ll out of me.
I only believe Instagramers stuff is real if I know them personally, e.g., Notorious Pink. The rest, I assume they are wearing fakes and scroll past.
I don’t get why anyone follows these fakers. But that just might be me. I’d rather follow the food, gardening, and architecture experts.
Following food is scary...
As you know, I love pastries, so I recently started watching videos on how they make the stuff.
I watched a video on how to make a buttery croissant, and OMG, it's so much butter! I think the chef used like 4 sticks of butter for a batch of croissants, and all she ended up with was only eight croissants! Wow... that's like half a stick of butter in each croissant!
I don't want to know how food is made anymore!
Making croissants looks really tough, but in case you get inspired, here is the video:

Croissants / patisserie are unknown territory for me. Though I have made Choux Pastry before. Bread and cookies are my normal bakes, but I’ve been getting into making Japanese Style Roll Cakes, Yum.
I don’t know whether this will happen, but I asked about special ordering the Lucky Dog pin in Tiger’s eye, so it will be like my dog.
You are the master baker EB! I get inspired by your breads and other creative baked goods!
They will say yes! Your timing is perfect for the request as you just purchased the Ludo bracelet.
As my husband always says... "strike while the iron is hot!"
I am certain they will make it for you. It will be so cute to match your dog!
Can you do Tiger's Eye for the body and MOP for one eye and the tail? Like your dog! Tiger's Eye for the nose though.
What a great idea!
I am sure you make amazing bread! Your family is lucky!
For people like me who can't bake... this is the best cinnamon raisin bread from grocery stores!

UPDATE: Googled Japanese Roll Cakes... they do look yummy! I need to find some!

You know how they say never meet your idols? In a sense it’s the same thing with pastries … never learn what’s in them, you don’t want to know! When I learned what was in my favorite local cookies I could never enjoy them shamelessly again. I wish I could return to sweet ignorant bliss!
A couple of years ago I had to be on total bedrest for 10 months while pregnant with my son. I’m super active usually so, as expected, I ended up with GD. It was luckily diet controlled but I had a major crash course on what was in food. Wow was that eye opening. Probably a good thing but it’s almost surprising how seemingly good foods can be so terrible for you and seemingly bad foods truly aren’t that awful depending on ingredients.
So @BigAkoya I feel you when you say you don’t want to know how food is made anymore!
Agree with @BigAkoya. They’ll likely say yes if they can after you’ve just made that big purchase. The manager at my store pretty much told me that there are categories of spending and when you hit them you are “considered” for requests. When I wanted the lapis and diamond bracelet and had asked about it forever I was told after I had paid for a certain purchase that I would be allowed to get it the next time one came in. A little funny writing that - I’m allowed to spend my money there!
I love dogs and your pups is adorable. I hope they grant your request.
Here, a SO of RG and MOP. Not mine. Just had a chance to try it at Vegas. Someone turned down an SO. These are pretty bad pics but IRL it is very beautiful. I prefer it to YG.

Thank you Epifanatic.
It is beautiful.
I have a 10 motifs mop and YG and have the possibility to order the Magic earrings in mop with rose gold.
I am trying to figure out if I will be able to wear both together or if they will clash..
They won’t clash imo. Here’s a pic of RG mop 5 motif paired with YG lucky bracelet.
Wow a LUDO!! you are going to look like a goddess! Congratulations this is truly spectacularFrom memory it seemed a lot bigger than the magic size - like it’s purposefully large and set at the bottom as the style so that one Alhambra is the largest piece on the necklace. I couldn’t say for absolute certain though and do not want to be incorrect!
I got a couple of things but was there to order the Ludo
