First major Hermès purchase—and for Mother’s Day for the world’s greatest mommy. [emoji7] At 61 years old, my mother received her first H bag in her life and she is ecstatic!!

Bought her a rouge (casaque?) Picotin 22 in Clemence leather + a little matching twilly, as red is her absolute favorite color in the entire world. [emoji173]️ She is a wonderful woman who has inspired me with her strength and courage through tough times, especially with what she went through last summer.

My original Paris vacation this weekend went poof when I ran into business travel issues the previous weekend.

Anyways, it was a total mess doing the connection at CDG today and I bought the scarf as a pacifier.

Had I followed my original vacation plan, I would have been within 5 minutes of the Paris Slasher. I was going to see the performance at Palais Garnier last night. So luck is on my side.

Then I realize the "ropes" have snake heads. What was I thinking? It is the Caducee scarf for Pete's sake. DH has snake phobia and rejected it. So the scarf is now mine.
 
Since reading Michael Tonello’s “Bringing Home the Birkin”, I’ve been obsessed with this “Chaîne d’Ancre” sterling silver bracelet in which he wears it as goodluck charm in obtaining Birkin bag..

But not until recently that I took the plunge and got myself the said bracelet (I still don’t need the Birkin, though). And boy, it’s heavy! Definitely not for everyday use, although it absolutely look great worn on the wrist!

And what could be a more perfect way other than display it on the matching "Chaine d'Ancre" porcelain videpoche, alongside with sterling silver "stirrup" cuff link and "Osmose" ring in white gold , ALL from Hermes.
