Like the Isabel Marant boots, the Hermes CDC bracelet is an item that I dithered on forever until I decided to jump the gun and buy it, albeit several price increases later. Sigh. I rang up and asked for the bracelet and the random sales associate who answered sounded like I must be absolutely insane to be expecting to actually purchase something. Super long waitlist, lowly peasant! Now I love me my Hermes, and most of my experiences have been great – but sometimes like in all luxury shops you get a sales person that looks at you like you’ve come to beg for a spot on the last lifeboat off of the Titanic. I always just ignore these bad seeds and move on.
Anyway, I got my hands on this little lizard ombre version and my only regret is that I hadn’t purchased it earlier! I’d love one with gold hardware next. It makes me feel more edgy, which we all know is a daunting task as I am closer to Ned Flanders on the “cool-o-meter” scale. I’d recommend it, and my lovely regular Hermes sales associate just told me that they are expecting quite a few more in for the holidays, in all kinds of leathers and exotics. So if you’re looking for one, check your local boutique or Hermes.com!
I love your CDC. I have the CDC ring & adore it xoxo

Love that bag!
Good Morning Mrs. Feather,
I know exactly what you mean when purchasing luxury items. When I visited Hermes in Chicago a couple of months ago, I was going to look at the Evelyne handbag in person (eventually bought it online and returned it) and some enamel bangles. Luckily, my salesperson was from the area I currently lived in and graduated from the highschool my daughter is attending. So, I was able to build a relationship based on 6 degrees of separation. In perspective, when visiting these stores, keep in mind the people that work there are just that; workers. They don't own the store.
Cute, casual look! Love the t-shirt!

Adore the CDC bracelet. I love how you have so many of the ultimate classics (flap bag, birkin, cdc bracelet, chanel jacket) and you make each piece look fresh and individual (rather than twinset and pearls snoozefest LOL!)
The CDC bracelet is so insanely gorgeous! Definitely well worth whatever possibly obscene amount spent on it haha
The bracelet really finishes off your look here.(Take THAT, sales person with an attitude!)
I'm a tee girl at heart so I'm loving the cute laid back look.
your cdc..idie! hopefully i`ll get an hermes bracelet in the near future (really love the kelly double tours). enjoy your new baby!
You do look pretty badass in that t-shirt and bracelet combo
It suits you really well!

That bracelet is worth the snotty sales people. And I love your graphic tee. I practically live in men's Hanes tees on weekends and vacations.
This outfit is so cute and casual! Love it! I also love hanes mens white tees, and I agree they do shrink!
Thanks for stopping by my blog earlier! Your newest follower!
KATHERINE!!! I LOVE your CdC!!! I've been drooling over those forever! And the Ombre lizard is TDF!! Glad you can ignore those bad seeds – it's just not nice when they're like that!!
xo~sam
this outfit looks so effortless and cute!! I love it!
You made me chuckle with today's post. So witty! Amazing casual look today too.
Haha! You are way more cool than Ned Flanders! Too funny! I love the bracelet. It's such a statement piece!
Oh the bracelet is to die for! I have never set foot in Hermes, simply because of the intimidation factor. I feel silly for admitting that, but it's true. I wish every salesperson could be friendly!
I love the bracelet! It's definitely very edgy! and I definitely love Tees to the max! You pull it off perfectly!

Wow Love the Ombre lizard, it looks so good on you and you totally rock it!! how cool!!
:):):)
OMG! LIZARE CDC?!?!?!?! i've always wanted one too.. but can never decide if i'm actually "cool" enough to pull it off but i must say it looks ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS ON YOU!!!!
ohh when are you going to cologne?? i'm a bit aways from cologne.. i'm 2 hours either way between frankfurt and munich!
LOL. You're like me. I tend to buy several sizes larger when it comes to tees and jumpers. Woohooo! CdC! I must've insane when I sold mine when Lil L was a baby. It just wasn't practical to have all the pointy hardware when dealing with a baby/toddler. 5 years on and gazillions of price increases…. I can't bear to fork out the extra.

That cuff is FANTASTIC!!! What a lucky wrist you have!!!
At the risk of sounding like a vilolent sociopath, I am compelled to reach into my screen and snatch the cuff off your wrist. OMG it's gorgeous … I'm just bummed you spent extra cash in holding off on buying it. The whole look is sharp and edgy. Love it!
That cuff looks so good on you!
love how you wear the cdc!
The bracelet is fantastic! It's so annoying when sales persons are such snobs.
Hey Katherine! I loathe sales people like that. It's happened to the best of us. Even OPRAH! She went to a store without any makeup, they didn't recognize her and treated her like crap. But anyway, I love your tee, that bracelet is gorgeous and your bag. Hope all is well my friend.
