The jewelry department of Louis Vuitton is and remains a painful spot. Whenever I'm nearby, I always check if there's a lost Essential V earring behind the glass, which of course never is, and I always have a little moment of disappointment. Several times I stood with the Essential V necklace in my hands, but why? Was it an attempt to replace the earring? I think so, so I don't buy it.

And yes, this weekend I was there again. And what do you think? Something shines so beautifully gold that I immediately forget the need for the earring in question. The necklace with my initial. The L of Louis a.k.a. Lilian. The hole in my heart is filled with LLLLLLLLLLove.
