Post by: Kara on March 17, 2015, 03:25:07 PM: Why is Hermès making me look at "flâneur forever" advertisements in which there are no men. :ufup

Frankly I find their lack of faith in my familiarity with French inflection most disturbing. :bolo

Also it's not clever to append this slogan to a photo of a woman reclining on something. It's just insulting to my knowledge of fashion history. :foxx

the bag likely contains a multitude of hermes lifestyle items for a typical weekend of leisure travel such as a cotton windbreaker ($3,000), leather notebook ($2,500), scented origami horses ($80, set of four), espadrilles ($530), and of course an hermes scarf ($650).

the bag itself looks like traditional hermes saddle leather (barenia) and I'd guess is probably $10,000 or so.

Sadly it wasn't an issue of Elle, because we all know I'm taking a massive L on this one.

and also I would recommend a flaneur bike

if you would like to save money after these purchases yet still possess the elusive cache of a flaneur, I'd recommend a saint james boatneck tee

Post by: Kara on March 20, 2015, 04:42:51 PM: The funny thing about the bike is that it's not actually that expensive for a bike.

I know it's a casual bike, but Shimano Alfine is rather pedestrian. :larry

Sure we'll both have to change our surnames to Andy, but at what price beauty.

brides?

WOMEN?

my store will be exclusively for gentlemen of the most refined taste seeking wardrobe accoutrements and haberdashery which embody their capricious sexual orientation and ravenous hunger for sartorial indulgence.

Post by: Kara on April 16, 2015, 04:50:13 PM: A maillot is a one piece swimsuit in fashion? :comeon

On a positive note, I can totes buy a gal a red and white polka dot pattern (a trashy fetish of mine :lawd) swimsuit someday and pass it off as a case of misunderstanding what maillot à pois rouges really meant. :heh
