My Loewe has been on 3 seaside trips so far lol its perfect for such events
Glad you said that as I’m just packing my Loewe for a weekend trip to the seaside.
I haven’t really used it much since I bought it, it’s just sat on my shelf and I admire it when I’m supposed to be working 🤦🏻‍♀️

Wear your lovely bags ladies! Get them coated in a protective spray, maybe find a waterproof zip lock bag to put inside to protect against suncream spills and wet cossies etc but get them on your arm! They are there to be used and loved - treat them well and be mindful but get using I say ❤

I spilled my latte in my YSL tote in feb. It was my own fault, I was balancing it on top of my stuff whilst on a flight and the turbulence tipped it over 😂😂🥲 now I’ve shoved it to the back of my wardrobe and don’t wear it lol, I have no idea how to clean it!

Oh my god!! 😭 There's a page I follow on Insta which cleans and refurbishes the most damaged luxury items. I'll have a look for you, hang on... It's called therestory_ - there videos are SO satisfying to watch.

The alma bb is perfect, my most used bag and it’s just so cute and fits the essentials and a bit more 💕 I accidentally broke the long strap that came with it, nothing major just the click mechanism and they quoted me about £200 to fix it 🥲 but after I stopped using it with the long strap I realised I didn’t really need it anymore
If you do eventually want to replace the long strap, did you know you can get off-brand ones from Etsy and Amazon and a few other websites? That Alma strap is very plain, so I think a dupe would absolutely work!

Thank you!! I’m going to contact them and ask for a quote or try and clean it myself! And then I think I’m going to sell it, since I was barely using it anyway. I like the bag, I just don’t reach for it every day 🤷🏻‍♀️


This is the most you thing I've ever read on Tattle 🤣
the way it happened was so funny too 🤣 there was a row spare on the plane and I waited till everyone boarded and we were ascending and I RAN to it so I could stretch out over 3 seats and have a nap. But another girl was eyeing up the row too so I made sure I legged it before her 😏 when I sat down she was giving me evils and I was like 😏😏 too slow luv, then there was some turbulence and she stared and I thought she whispered “I’ll get you” 😂😂 I was bleeping terrified to nap after that, but turns out she said “your drink spilled” or something 😭 ah memories

Omg!!!! I’ll look into this right now! The strap is very plain so I doubt it would look any different anyway! Thank you ♥♥

Went Cheshire Oak shopping for a bikini and a small bag ended up with clothes and mulberry sunglasses. Couldn’t find a bag I was sure on, was only looking for a cheap one (under £200) - there was a few Kate spade ones and a Karl Lagerfeld one but I wasn’t sure. Wish I could buy an expensive one although I don’t think I would as I’m not good at looking after items 😄

Can you lovely ladies recommend me some wedding shoes please? (White/ivory). I wore Manolo Hangisi pumps on my engagement and want something a little different for the wedding 🙂 so maybe some sandals?
I'm having Charlottle Mills, my style is the Jazzy. Not designer, but gorgeous quality for about £250. I wanted something special, but also they'll barely be seen under my gigantic dress so didn't necessarily want to spend £££. The concept might be a bit twee for some, as they're definitely wedding shoes not just fancy white ones, but I'm pleased with them :D

I wanted a basket bag for ages but I think it was @Its_Me who pushed me over the edge with the medium Celine...

That particular enablement wasn’t me 😁 I’ve got the large (or maybe it’s medium but it feels massive to me) Loewe basket. Had it a few years now, I’ve far from babied it, taken it on a few holidays and I use it if I’m popping out to the shops without the car and I chuck anything I buy in it. Still in great knick and I still love it 👌🏼

This gives me confidence! I’ll defo use it for shopping. I feel like mine is a bit big too but hey ho, you live and learn. Did I mention I’d had a few when I bought it🤣 my friend and I were in Manchester and a few sheets to the wind - we both bought one 🤣

I start back to uni in sept and would love a backpack type bag that could fit my laptop, can anyone advise on any nice bags?
 
Has anyone purchased a dress from Victoria Beckham before? I’ve seen one I love for a wedding.
I’ve got a few, they are really nice and very flattering, she has a habit of cutting a bit low at the back and under the armpits in more floaty ones though, so I always double check I can wear a bra with those ones.

Would it be cheaper buying the Hermes Oran sandals in France? Going there next month and wondering if it’ll be better than buying them here…

did anyone go to The Mall Firenze? are there good deals that worth the trip from Florence?
I’ve been wondering about this for some time, it looks pretty good from the YouTube ‘shop with me’ style vids, and I think a regular shuttle bus runs from central Florence. Would also like to know of other people’s experiences there.
 
Yes I’ve been there - it’s great. It was a few years ago but I bought a beautiful Gucci purse and some bits and pieces for the kids.
