CHANEL CHIT CHAT Thread!

[Jaded81]

Will let it slide this time!!!

Ok down to business.. the reissue is definately NOT as delicate as the lambskin on the flaps, so don't worry about it!

You should stuff your bag and lay her on her back to avoid sagginess (note that Chanel advises people to store it upright... but many here store their bags on their backs so it is really up to you!).

How should I store this bag? Just stuffed with the tissue paper, sitting up in the dustbag? What about the chain strap?
Sorry guys, for being so obsessive, LOL ! I know all about BBags, but nothing about Chanel!
Hope everyone is having a good night/day![/QUOTE]

^^^^Thanks sweetie !!!
I promise plenty of mod pics this week-end!

No worries! Also, about the chains, don't forget to wrap the chains to prevent the chains from marking the leather!! Here is a useful thread for you!!

How do you store your Chanel Handbags?

[Jaded81]

Leslie, feel free to ask either here or through PM if you have any other questions.. or ask on the forum! That is what we are here for!

[Jaded81]

LOL you're actually worse than me! Hehehe but at least you cut down your list! Awhhhh yes do keep in touch. You have my gmail addy right? I usually check that and not the hotmail. Hotmail is for msn which I use occasionally!

Take all the time you need to reflect on Cobalty and I hope you come back soon..I'll miss you..ahh..and if you want, you can always e-mail me!!! I wanna find tPFers I can discuss LIFE with.. The anomalous thing is that I've actually cut down on the number of bags I've wanted within the past month because I thought..hmm..buying Chanels within a 3 month span was a bit nuts..I didn't even really enjoy half of them...I went from my goal of 9 flaps by December 2010 to 5(I think I've always been a bit greedy and indulgent though, without tPF's help, haha) So our Yorkies and S.O's are coming with us to Paris right? ^_^

[Jaded81]

G: Yes they are coming! We need the SOs to carry all our stuff and our yorkies to cuddle when it gets cold!! hehehehe

[PANda_USC]

A, can I ask you about random stuff? I dunno..I've been feeling "meh" or "glum-bleberries" lately..

[Jaded81]

G: Of course! What's the matter?

[PANda_USC]

A, do you ever..get...sad for little to no reason? I haven't been excited about my purchases or hunting for them..and well..I just..am tired all the time

[Jaded81]

Yes I do =) I guess it is normal to have the blues every now and again... as long as it doesn't interfere with your life or your ability to function on a daily basis

[PANda_USC]

A, well I actually have been diagnosed...bipolar!...I don't know..I miss my dbf and I don't have many friends up here..most of them are still in LA..and the house is empty..except for the two dogs...just me in a big house alone...it's such a dramatic change from college..

I really don't know how to go about making new friends....I'm not in school anymore and the people at my work are wayyy older than I am...40+..

[Jaded81]

brb phone

[Jaded81]

That is tough. Are you on meds? You don't live with your family? I know... it is alot harder to make friends after school! But you know, I have many friends from my ex-work place and they are all 40 ish too. But it is a little hard to connect because of the age difference!

You can always email me if you feel the need to talk =) I don't have bipolar, but I was diagnosed with clinical depression since 2004-5. So I know how you must feel sometimes. And for me it is not so much about making friends.. as just retreating from everyone.. staying at home and not going out because it just takes too much effort to look normal and to try act as if everything is ok..

[PANda_USC]

A, yeah..I am the same..one of the faces of bipolar is the depression..it's extremely intense and in flux with me..:: sigh:: High low..feeling really horrible about myself one day..then having a giant ego the next... I was on meds(lithium) but my best guy friend at the time and my ex bf said that I started acting even worse on the drugs...way more moody..

I live in the house I grew up in! But my Dad is away in Shanghai building a hotel..he's never around anyways, and my mom is taking care of family in Taiwan..my two sisters moved to Taiwan, my oldest brother lives in our other house across the city and my little brother is away for college...I didn't really keep in touch with any of my high school friends..I was very studious and introverted and depressed then so...

I was very social in college and now..I feel I'm reverting back to my former self..very homebody-ish and tired and..just want to sleep all day..and then I do the depressed extra eating and then I feel worse because then the tummy starts pouching out...

yeah..it's hard to connect with older co-workers..I wanna go clubbing and to lounges and I really think when I'm older I'll grow out of it..

Meow..A, I'm glad I encountered you! There's a lot of people on tPF but few that I can really relate to...and joke around with, hehe.
