I’m conflicted on which large vanity mirror to keep - either the round wooden one (which I would mount, but shown leaning on the dresser for now), or the larger arched black mirror.

This is where I get dressed and do my makeup and is opposite to my bed.

Need tips from all the interior design experts in the group 🩵

UPDATE: thank you a million to everyone who shared their feedback!! Beyond helpful and I knew I could trust this group! All well noted, seems most preferred the arched given the layout. I decided in the end to split the difference, get rid of the shelf to create more space and mount the round one for some more warmth!

Hi hi - I purchased the large size Olivia Dean The Art of Loving tour pink hoodie at MSG last night … it’s SO cute but sadly a bit too big on me… anyone NYC based want to exchange a size medium or small for a large?

Mine is brand new, never worn and I’ve got proof of purchase!

Absolutely electric night watching Jake Roxander. So well deserved!!! Cannot wait to watch him continuing to shine for many years/decades to come!

Couldn’t be happier with my new bag - Constance 18 in Etoupe, Epsom leather, with palladium hardware 🤍

For context, I’ve probably entered the H lottery over 50 times over several Paris trips over the last couple years. I’ve never been fortunate enough to get a leather appointment. This trip, I figured I would enter the lottery all the same, but try my luck with “just asking” … I figured I truly have nothing to lose. I’ve asked at the leather front desks a few times, with the answer being ‘no’ every time.

I passed by George V - this time, the answer was also ‘no’ but I figured I’d still shop around because I am looking for a Twilly fringe. Luckily, I got my Twilly fringe and was happy to walk away. The SA asked me if there was anything at all I’m still interested in… this is when I asked on possibilities of a bag, specifically BKC. She said no, but that other bags may be possible like an Evelyne, Picotin, or Lindy. I was firm with my ask around a BKC as I already have a few of those other bags and was happy to walk away with no bag offer. She checked my France profile, and scanned my passport as well (presumably to check if I’ve been trying the lottery). She then went to the back room and came back 5 minutes with a box. My heart was racing… she opened the box to reveal the most beautiful, classic Constance 18 💕 I couldn’t be happier!!!

♥️♥️ My tips for everyone trying….

- Paris walk-in’s are a hit or miss. Most of this comes down to luck. You never know who you’ll connect with nor the availability that day. From what I’ve heard, the chances of BK on a walk in are difficult (not impossible), but your chances with other styles may be possible with some luck.
- Be kind. No need to be “overly nice” but don’t go in demanding anything. View anything you might get from a walk in as ‘upside’, and you won’t be disappointed!
- Be honest about what you want.
- It never hurts to just ask… yes, the anxiety from hearing a ‘no’ can be mortifying (I’m with you on that…). But truly, the worst they can say is no.
