Recapping my visit to FASHIONPHILE and discussing buying bags at Hermes vs from resale, learning Siamese Mahjong, and more from the past week!

In this week’s episode I’m recapping my second week in Carlsbad! My friend Patti headed back to New York the same day as my friends from Austin arrived, and my mom and stepdad arrived the day after those Austin friends left - I’ve been in hostess mode since I stepped foot off the plane on the 9th! It’s been SO fun, but a busy couple of weeks.

More amazing meals have been had, a number of days spent lounging at the pool and just a little bit of shopping! That includes a trip to FASHIONPHILE, so in this week I share my first experience visiting/shopping in their flagship San Diego location, plus my thoughts on buying Hermes bags and purchasing from the designer house directly vs buying the bags from resale stores. Also discussing learning Siamese (aka two player) Mahjong and more!
