Hermes Picotin PM or Garden Party 30?

Image
After my dear friend bought herself the Hermes Picotin PM, I couldn't stop thinking about it because of it's cute small size. Though it's not very practical for my lifestyle right now as a mommy (of 2 soon), I couldn't help admiring it on social media. When she invited me to tag along with her to the Hermes store to pick up some things she had purchased in advance, I couldn't help wondering if I would pick anything up myself. For my birthday last month, A bought me a Bastia in vert anglais, which I exchanged for lime since the vert anglais was a bit too dark and dull in person. Since then, I've been wondering if the lime is actually too yellow. But when I walked into the store and took a quick look around, the first thing I drawn to was the Garden Party 30 bag in lime, which surprised me because I never even thought about that bag before. I was shown a Picotin PM in black, which was beautiful, but after much comparison and deliberation, I knew I liked th

August Haul + Weekend Getaways

I shopped the most I ever have in a long time in July but last month, I went outlet shopping during one of several weekend road trips I took. I didn't expect to buy much but I ended up getting 9 (!) cardigan-type tops, thanks to restrictions when shopping with a bump.

July Haul + Maternity Shopping

Here is July's haul, which was mainly Nordstrom Anniversary Sale shopping and maternity shopping. Now that I'm expecting baby girl #2 in the winter this time as opposed to summer, I realize I actually do need some pieces such as pants instead of relying on loose, flowy tops and dresses like I did last time. My first pair of maternity shorts are these ASOS Maternity Petite Denim Alvey Mid Rise Short with Raw Hem , which I keep reaching for to wear on weekends this summer.  I really like ASOS' petite maternity options such as this Maternity Petite Nursing Channel Front Top . This Petite Crinkle Trapeze Top is not maternity but works well to comfily camouflage the bump. This Express V-neck Shaker Knit Chenille Sweater is super soft and cozy and I can't fit these Express Striped Linen-Blend Sash Waist Ankle Pants right now but I like them so much that I'm keeping them and hoping they'll fit after the pregnancy.
