Forgot to mention re: sunday shopping. We spent a fair bit of time at Louis Vuitton, where mm had her eye on the multicolour monogrammed speedy 30. It’s quite a big bag but it looks nice in her hands. Bit too expensive for our taste, but she deserves something nice for herself occasionally.

Reminds me of articles I read about the opening of the Louis Vuitton Megastore on the Champs Elysées last October, where artist Vanessa Beecroft put on a “performance” of 40 naked models wearing nothing but string and LV shoes, draped around the shop’s display of bags and cases. Classy.
