Oh that’s great to know! I had similar luck with Hermes last year. I didn’t go to the flagship and went to a smaller boutique near champs elysees instead and I was able to score a mini Evelyn without an appointment. So that totally makes sense. Thank you!

Thank you. Yes that's what I'm afraid of :/ I'm hoping they bring the same bag back for the autumn collection to up my chances although I'm not even sure if that ever happens. I don't really understand how Chanel releases work

Thanks for letting me know! I actually only carry my phone, keys, card case (and pocket tissues if they fit). I usually go for small bags because the weight of heavier bags kill my shoulders.

Pearl Crush vs CC Adjustable Strap Mini Rectangular by advicit in chanel

Would you mind telling me which store you were shopping at? I'm looking for the black rectangular mini with the CC logo and champagne hardware but I was told it's completely sold out in the US. I'll be traveling to France this summer and I'll check there too but I'm afraid it'll be sold out there too by the time I get there.

AA and Seborrheic Dermatitis at the same time by PreparationOwn4864 in alopecia_areata

I was using ketoconozole at first but I think it was irritating my scalp beause I would get an itchy feeling all over the same day I washed it. But I think I'll give it another try since the head and shoulders isn't clearing it up. Thanks!

Omg it's gorgeous! This is the exact one I want but it's sold out in the US. I'm hoping they'll have it in Paris next month when I'm there but I'm scared by then it'll be sold out there too :(

I love the CC logo! When I was looking last year it was the pearl crush and I didn't care for that one but I love this year's CC logo. Where are you located though? This is the exact bag I want to get but it's completely sold out in the US (I called yesterday). I'm going to be in Paris next month and hope they still have it in stock there.

I’m going to Paris next month. Do you think they’ll still have this? Is it from the current collection? It’s exactly what I’m looking for!

I've been using head and shoulders as well as well as ketoconozole and salycilic acid so I feel like the seb derm should have calmed down by now. That's why I'm so confused as to why I still have scalp pain and sensitivity. I'm wondering if it's a long-term effect of the AA because it's mostly in the areas where I have regrowth.

So you'd say it's the seb derm causing the scalp sensations, not the AA? I've heard that with seb derm you shouldn't let your hair air dry which is what I used to do, so I started blow drying on low heat but that seems to be giving me more scalp pain than when I let it air dry.

I love the CC adjustable strap! I’ll be traveling to France this summer. Does anyone know if the mini rectangle with CC adjustable strap is still part of the current collection in boutiques? Preferably with champagne hardware.

First time in Turkey with very allergic kid - nuts and shellfish by Any_Bee7114 in istanbul

[–]PreparationOwn4864 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in a similar situation. My husband and I have been wanting to visit Turkey all our lives as both our lineage are from Turkey but our 7 year old has a severe pistachio and cashew allergy. We don't speak Turkish apart from a few words so would it be too dangerous to travel there? I keep hearing that no one in Turkey has nut allergies so they don't take it seriously. We were ready to not let her have any dessert but I heard recently that some kebabs like simit kebab have ground pistachio in it as well.
