My dear J!! Good to see you...

[NanamiRyu]

Dear Mon, Steph, Nat & Francy, thanks for the warm welcome!

I've been traveling quite often last two months and just came back from Milan last Monday. (Were you away from home too, Nat?) I actually got to visit so many different boutiques during those traveling days. Lol. But eh... As I already told so to Mon, most of those visits to the boutiques were big disappointments and I came home almost (almost is the key word here ) empty handed each time. And now I'm so frustrated from those trips, I decided to just stick with my trusty (and patient) SAs here at homeland.

I was pretty exhausted and laying low till yesterday, but off I went uptown to see my SA today to get a gift for sis. Her milestone b-day is coming up (okay, this isn't really the fact but she "insists" it's a milestone in her book) and I promised to get her a couple items from prefall. About an hour after, I felt so good to be back at the boutique on 57th, drooling over so many things I did not before.

I was there for quite long and crowd thinned out later but when I first got there, store is packed with customers after customers and really, every SAs were soooooo busy! Apparently, there's no sign of recession at Chanel on 57th!!

I did my share of helping out the economy today by loading up on every matriochka jewelleries they received so far. OMG. I would've loved to get the clutch too, as it was super duper adorable. But it's $6100! And I didn't exactly plan to get all of the jewelleries too, you know? When I headed to the boutique, I figured I'd be getting one or two. Yet somehow, I came home with FOUR and I also put my name down for another piece they are going to receive soon. I need help! (And I feel like giving Miffy a good spanking for introducing me to the black hole that is Chanel costume jewellery.)

^ I'm so happy to have you back Justine! Sounds like you have had a lot of fun traveling around the globe lately. <Sigh> I have been experiencing wanderlust lately. I haven't taken a truly long, extended vacation in a while, especially overseas.

4 costume jewelry pieces? Wow! There are a lot of great stuff in the Paris-Moscow collection. I have my eye on way too many necklaces and rings. I have become obsessed with necklaces lately, especially longer and slightly chunkier styles.

Too many temptations this Fall! I think one by one we are all succumbing! Eek!

[poptarts]

I just got my Vine pearl necklace from Paris-Moscou. It is very beautiful. Going to wear her to work tomorrow!

You know what, Francy? You should and moi! I told myself I should save up money for now as I have another trip coming up very soon and there are tons of things I'd probably want for future seasons. Yet this self imposed ban didn't last long because I made another big purchase last Friday!

I was so psyched to see how the seller (it's a second market item) shipped it right away, only less than 2 hours after I made the payment. But OMG! Now I'm sooooo pissed~!!

I thought it was a bit off how the tracking showed the package to be at this odd place. The record showed it would be delievered today though so I kept on waiting and waiting... Till I checked an hour ago and saw how there was more update, which said "recipient not found."

A call to FedEx was made of course, and they told me they somehow got the wrong zip code. They apparently switched the third and fourth digits by accident and that's why darn FedEx guy couldn't "FIND" the address. So my inkling about how the FedEx location that held my package was off was correct indeed. I think it's the location they use for storing packages to be shipped to Brooklyn, as the "new" zip code directs them there. Argh! I know it's only a little error and it's not as if it's gone missing but I hate how I have to wait one more day for it. I know zip code is important but I also think they are plain dumb not to realize the addy belongs in Brooklyn.

AND now because of having to wait and sign for the package, I can't go to fall trunk show tomorrow as I planned! (I think this is the part I don't like the most. LOL.)

I'm so sorry that you can't go to check out the fall trunk show today. But I'm sure that your big purchase will definitely worth the wait

PS: Can't wait to see your reveal!!!!

[NanamiRyu]

Francy! My bag came early in the morning!! Yay~ And it looks much better than I expected.

^ That's great news Justine! What bag did you get? Are you going to do a reveal for us?

[NanamiRyu]

^ Hi, Steph! I took some pics in the morning but the weather here has been rain every other day, so they didn't come out too great. All I'm going to say now is that it's BLUE. Mouhahahahah!

^ That color is the perfect shade of blue J! I have been impatiently waiting for a caviar jumbo classic flap in that color (with the flat CC hardware) for years!

[francyFG]

I know this is complitely off topic but my cat just went missing. I'm so sad She was my little girl. I hope she's fine wherever she's now.

[Nat]

Oh no Francy, I'm so sorry! Maybe she will turn up soon, how long ago did this happen?

[francyFG]

^^ After 8 hours I found her. She was inside my bed, probably when my bed linens where changes she jumped in and the woman didn't notice her. Thank God she was fine.

My bed is similar to this one so you can easily understand why I said inside.
