Duchess the podcast & Glin Castle

I’ve been listening to Duchess the podcast hosted by Emma Duchess of Rutland and on top of from learning about the everyday maintaining of great estates in Britain, I have been LOVING the ghost stories.

Here’s a post on Glin Castle owned by Catherine Fitzgerald and Dominic West posted on Desire to Inspire (which I discovered is owned by two ladies who have never met in person! fascinating)

LV Keepall 45 graphite

I first fell in love with the black leather piping and black leather that is found all around the bag.

The damier pattern made it discreet when I carried it as a school bag and the canvas allowed me to not baby it too much since I would often put my bag on the floor in class. In doing so, I got a mysterious and precocious blue paint stain on the bag but it has grown on me since and I say that it gives it character 🤪

the black leather + canvas was also perfect for the wintery weathers of Montreal and I now use it as a weekender bag

Toronto x Speedy x Christmas deco

I spent the day in downtown Toronto
Christmas decorations are in full force and I LOVE IT 🎄

It’s Remembrance Day tomorrow, however, and there were numerous signs of respect around the city. One, notably, was on the CN Tower and the Toronto sign next to City Hall.

I carried the Louis Vuitton Speedy 30 in Azur and thank god because it was wide enough to fit my lunch leftovers
I can’t think of many other bags that would have had the width or the durability to carry containers of food but thanks to the speedy, I was able to walk around post-lunch without a white plastic bag cramping my style 🤓

I couldn’t resist this chance to knoll (Ultralinx post on knolling) and do what’s in my bag photos

lunch was at Salad King, I had a green tea soft serve at Tsujiri (not pictured) then I picked up some cheese tarts from Pablo and they were exactly what I had been craving

Ju Jihoon for German magazine ICON

it’s cool to see Korea through the eyes of foreign artists

Allkpop did an article on this and Ju Jihoon was asked if he finds it direspectful when people say that all Asians look the same and he replied that “in our eyes, all white people look the same except Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise” with a grin lol (link to article).
