Love it! I want to buy a black belt to get me through winter - trying to decide between Celine or YSL
I have the Celine in tan and highly recommend. Would love the black too. I don’t have a YSL but very classic and timeless too. Both good choices 👍🏻

I'd say Celine > YSL. Celine Triomphe belt, if you want a statement. The Triomphe isn't as recognisable, so it's a "if you know, you know" kind of thing. The YSL belt seems more subtle in branding but people will recognise the 'YSL'.

Does anyone have the LV Pochette Metis? I've been thinking about it for a while as a mid-sized bag, I've got small bags for going out and then a few larger totes but don't really have anything in between. It looks ideal so I wanted to know if anyone has one, how much use do you actually get out of it and so on!

I do! I love it, I think it’s the perfect ‘in between’ size bag. I don’t get as much use out of it as my smaller cross body bags but only because my general day to day outfits are a lot more casual/athleisure. Do you have a particular ‘use’ for it ie work bag or night out bag?

Yes I do and I love it, it’s my favourite bag. I was after a more mid-size bag and this was perfect for me. I think it looks good with casual wear and also dressed up too. Definitely recommend this bag, I use it all the time.

Ah ladies I'm already easily swayed as it is so this is the final push 😂 I've seen a few insta/youtubers saying it's their favourite bag but they say that about everything! I'd be using it for going out/weekend use, I'd love it to be a work bag but I usually need to drag a laptop around so it'd be too small. Might just start leaving the bloody thing at work so I can get more use out of the pochette!

Yes, I saw the pop up when I was there last week! My friend raves about it. I didn’t have much joy at all, just got some jeans 👖. YSL had loads of bags but I wasn’t in the market for a bag 😂

Depends what you’re after, a few stores are doing 30% off lowest price and discounts for multi buys but I didn’t really find anything ☹ Isabel Marant had a good sale with discounts of up to 60% but nothing floated my boat. The QR code system was in force, I nearly had a fight in the Dior queue 🤣because people just have no manners and were pushing in front of the queue! We only had to do it in Dior and Gucci thankfully. Let us know how you get on! My husband bought quite a bit!

Luckily not arsed about Dior or Gucci, they're only pop ins if quiet. Gotta get a Mum to be gift so thinking Elemis/Rituals/L'Occitaine. Kate Spade and Sweaty Betty for me, Ted Baker for some socks for a present 🤣 and then wherever takes my fancy. Probably Loewe and bag is coming tomorrow too.

Kate Spade had some good deals on, think it was buy 2 get 20% off. I also looked in Lululemon as I like their stuff but it was still on the pricey side for me. Sweaty Betty had a good sale too. It was quiet in the morning but then got busier later on. Have the best day 🥰

I need some decent like long short gym leggings as I've been dying in this crap at the gym and a looser top. I've got my VIP pass from Blue light (and Ted Baker does 15% student too). Rituals annoy me though with the minimum 2 items to buy 🙄 stops me going in there as half the time I only want a candle and don't want to have to add some crap to buy it - defeats the discount lol

Forgot to ask.... did you see a pool float looking bag in Kate Spade? Lol

The left one ❤

Long time lurker here!!
Ive had small designer items in the past but decided to treat myself to a Valentino bag for graduation, but it got lost in the post (so didn’t get to wear it).

finally arrived yesterday and the studs are completely wonky and out of sync. Surely this can’t be normal?
I brought from the Valentino website itself and am trying to arrange a return but it states a lot about customs forms to fill in and give to the courier - not sure how this works?? Do I just put them inside the parcel.

Customs forms usually should be attached to the front of the parcel in the plastic packet where the address forms are. Which courier are you returning it with, UPS?

Honestly Valentino quality isn’t the best any more :(
