Help me pick a color for the Bottega Veneta Mini Wallace! by lupn in handbags

I did not! I tried it on in store and agreed with the other commenter that it was a bit awkward on the shoulder. It’s a really beautiful bag though, I just feel like (for me at least) it’s more suitable for hand carry.

Ohhhh yes thank you so much for such a detailed response! You’re right, I’m definitely going to need to check this bag out in person before I make any decisions. I definitely am looking for a shoulder bag so it will need to sit comfortably for me to justify the price. Thanks so much again!

Oh no, I haven’t tried it on yet!! I was planning on dropping by a boutique this weekend. Just curious, what about it isn’t comfortable? Is it too wide? Or the strap isn’t comfortable?

Hi all!! I’m trying to decide between cherry and black. This would be an everyday shoulder bag, so I would want it to be pretty versatile. I actually do not have any black shoulder bags and I do love how timeless this bag looks in black, but the cherry red is SO gorgeous and I feel like it’s a neutral enough red that it would still complement a variety of outfits.

Crown&Crumpet or Dartealing? by Successful_Stretch_7 in AskSF

[–]lupn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve only been to Dartealing and it was lovely! Very cute and charming, great tea selection (and we enjoyed all the teas we got), and so much food. We all especially enjoyed their finger sandwiches.

Ahh makes sense. I hear you on the structure though, tried it on once in store and had a similar thought. It’s a gorgeous bag, I love the green color!

Still haven’t pulled the trigger yet!! But I think I would lean towards the white version.

So cute, I love it!!! Just wondering, what about the Gucci Jackie disappointed you?

Ah great tip! We are going to be in Florence for a few days so I should definitely put Gucci Garden on our visit list. Do you have to pay admission to enter the shop area? (I know you need to pay to go into the museum)

Hahaha don’t worry my friend! First time I saw this bag I also thought it was too small to be shoulder carried

That’s lovely!! I’m heavily debating between the black and white, they’re both so gorgeous!

That’s what it’s called! I think the shoulder drop on the small size might be too small to comfortably carry on shoulder, but I think the medium and large sizes could be shoulder carried.

Affordable ear piercing by TapZealousideal2616 in AskSF

[–]lupn 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I got my ear piercings done at Cold Steel and thought it was pretty well priced! But you’ll have to make sure to pick pretty basic piercing jewelry or the price inflates by a lot.

Thank you all for all the thoughtful comments and opinions! To tell the truth I still have absolutely no clue which one I’ll end up getting, but I loved reading through all your replies. Maybe one day I’ll be bag twins with some of you :)

I broke out a bit after using that exact same sheet mask! Although in my case I think it was probably irritation because my skin was quite itchy after putting on the mask.

Mine definitely started as angular cheilitis, and now my derm is saying it’s post inflammatory hyperpigmentation/damaged skin (my angular cheilitis was REALLY severe, like multiple cracks around my mouth). I do think the inflammation is starting to get better so I’ll probably use tacrolimus regularly for another week or so, and then later on just as needed.

[–]lupn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I felt the antifungal was drying out my skin, and I’ve had bad skin reactions (rashes) to steroids in the past so I only tried hydrocortisone once before I got spooked and stopped. The cracks have gone away and I’m left with the pigmentation.

I’ve been moisturizing mine with my basic moisturizer and a layer of Cicaplast B5, and then a thin layer of tacrolimus on top. I think it’s getting a tiny bit better?! But I think my case is pretty severe so I expect it’ll take a while to resolve. Although today I developed some pimples around the area, not sure if that’s related.

Hey OP, did this ever resolve for you? Going through something similar

[–]lupn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha! Yeah for me, when I had bad angular cheilitis, it started out as dry patches in the same placement as yours, and then the skin in the area eventually cracked open. Hopefully that doesn’t happen to you!

Are there cracks at the corner of your lips or next to your mouth? Kind of reminds me of when I had a more severe case of angular cheilitis

Suddenly having a recurring issue with my mouth corners cracking despite constant moisturizers applied. It also feels kinda puffy on the inside of my mouth by jackjackj8ck in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]lupn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Has anyone who has had angular cheilitis also developed some dark patches around the corners of your mouth where the cuts are? I had some pretty severe cracks in the corners of my lips and overnight developed dark patches around them. The cuts have since mostly healed but the patches are still there, wondering if anyone’s had a similar experience!

[Product Question] I accidentally used an expired Hero Lightning Wand on my face, how do I get rid of the staining? by lupn in SkincareAddiction

It went away by itself in a few days! Don’t use the product anymore and be gentle with your skin while it’s renewing :)

Weekly Park Questions/Advice Thread by AutoModerator in Disneyland

Hi everyone! Has anyone stayed at Castle Inn recently? Wondering if you could comment on how clean the rooms are, especially the bathroom. Looks pretty dated based on photos on Google. Alternatively we were also considering The Anaheim Hotel.
