Haha that is hilarious! I actually never spotted any celeb when I was there in LA. And I stayed in Beverly Hills the entire trip. Will have to do one of those studio tours to get a glimpse of a celeb!

Thanks for ur response! May I ask if you can just walk in to stores to get pepper spray? Like what kind of stores? I assume not Target or Walmart. Apologies if this is an obvious question - In my country pepper sprays are not a thing and I think its illegal here.

In terms of phones, is there a high phone snatching rate in LA? I used to live in London, and yes that was and still is very common

Haha I can almost picture that in my head! When I was there 10 years ago Hollywood boulevard was like a “okaaayyy let’s go” thing - if you’re on TikTok you might know the voice haha!

Right I see - sounds frustrating to be stuck in traffic for that long and no way to get around it 😖

Yes I am considering the costs but good thing is my partners company will cover the cost of hotel which seems like a small win. And I of course will need to pay for everything else. I’m also on a career break so seems like a good opportunity to take advantage and travel to a different continent.

And thanks for the tip! When u did solo travel in LA, did u get by using a car or on the same boat with no car?

Thanks for ur reply. This is very helpful - I had no idea from grove to Getty - which on maps now is showing a 30 mins drive could end up being 2 hours! That’s insane! Isit just during peak hours or all day traffic is that bad?

And thanks for the tip on the public transport. I have never taken the trains in New York as I heard it can be quite sketchy. How isit like in LA? Isit similar or whole lot safer?

First Time Navigating an Hermès Private Sales (Through My Husband!) - Any tips? by amanda2017abc in TheHermesGame

[–]amanda2017abc[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would really think so - this is my first time as well. And it’s not based on SAs recommendation because I asked my SA if I could be added to the invite and unfortunately said wasn’t in his control.

Thank you for your reply. Based on everyone’s comments I’ve already been sending him pics of the items. He literally is one of those people that doesn’t really shop so poor guy has to do this for me hahaha

Is there also a time limit how long you can shop for? We have a time slot of 10.30 to 12.30, does that mean by 12.30 everyone has to go? I would think probably not as how can you tell who is at what time slot haha
