CHANEL CHIT CHAT Thread!

[NY_fashionista]

Welcome back, Nat - you were missed!

IceEarl, I hope you feel better. I have a nasty cold myself and we're having a big snowstorm here in NYC, but I knew it was coming (both the snow and the cold) and stocked up on lots of soup and cold medicine... I think I'm just going to hibernate until Spring.

I must be strange - I can't seem to appreciate the Chanel Classic flaps or Reissues - that whole style does not do anything for me *ducks* Granted I do have a Jumbo XL [vintage], but I keep being drawn to the likes of the Cambon ligne like the Reporter/Bowlers and I love the Bubble Quilt bowlers and the Reissue camera bags and totes too. I have the Cerf/Executive - the only "conventional" bag I love.

Maybe those bags will grow on me..oh I don't know.

scarletambience, I have a couple of the classic flaps but I don't use it that much either...its doesn't go very well when I have my 8 1/2 months old baby girl.

Hey, don't worry, different people have differente tastes, right?

I wasn't into the reissues myself at all. Till this month that is, it's one of my favorite bags now. I used to like very rigid bags at first, then I suddenly seemed to prefer super slouchy bags and now I'm somewhere in between. Oh well, let's wait and see what I'll prefer next year, haha!

Soo... is anyone else in the middle of a full blown blizzard?! It's atrocious here! I ended up leaving the house for, of all things, a hair appt. haha. I would've canceled if not for the fact that I have to wear that silly (and enormous!! ) graduation cap tomorrow, and curly hair doesn't work well with it (and my hair straightening skills are non-existent). Anywhere on the west coast is looking really good now haha.

Aww, I hope some R&R helps, S... being sick is awful!

Hey Minal!

It snowed here in the city most of the day and switched to hail a little while ago. A friend just tried to get me to come uptown tonight and I refused - I have a cold and am not leaving my building until I absolutely have to!

I had no idea your hair was curly; if I remember correctly, when I met you it was long and naturally straight-looking.

I think its good we dont all like the same...i only liked rigid type bags, and i have a vintage xl jumbo also.....But i'm being drawn to bubble quilts, and slouchy patent bags......i never liked grey, anything...after seeing the grey flaps i'm, hold i like these bags...So you can stop ducking lol.

I know what you mean, lately when we go out, I've been putting my purse in her stroller basket...she doesn't like to sit in the stroller too long so I have to carry her around after awhile and I can't carry my purse and her at the same time...(she's like 23 lbs)...

Hey Deb! Ohhh wow, hail?! I just checked, and it stopped snowing here finally (yay)! Hopefully it won't be too difficult to dig my car out tomorrow! Aww, being sick sucks... I hope you feel better soon! I wouldn't venture out either (especially not with hail haha).

Yes, my hair is very naturally curly! The day we met each other, it was neither here nor there haha. That's cuz I didn't wash it (slept on it!), and I'd gotten in around 4am the night before... I literally grabbed food with my friend, threw clothes on, and met up with you for the MA exhibit!

Here is what my hair looks like everyday (I'm on the left of the screen):


Straight is like this (which I rarely do... don't have the patience or skill haha):

LOL, you need something like messenger...... 23 lbs does not sound much, but it is when its one person.....my right hip is still sticking out more than the left,after perching her on it, and i still seem to rock when standing . she is 17 now lol.
