Talking I got my very first jumbo! *pics*

I got way too many bags once I got the Chanel bug, but I still stayed away from jumbos. Nothing wrong with them. I just carry so much less than an average woman, sometimes I don't even bother to step outside with a bag. (I know how ridiculous it sounds when I'm a tPF addict with TONS of bags in my closet but that's the truth.)

Anyhoo, I always thought I would never need a jumbo, with its extra weight and size to tote around. (And extra $$ to fork over) Yet, I decided to take the plunge yesterday, sort of like a trial and oh my goodness! I am now officially a jumbo fan.

Here's my new (and the largest) baby~




I'm sure everyone must know the hardwares of fall bags are much shinier than prefall. But just in case, here's a close up shot of HWs.




I'll repost a close up shot of my prefall Miss Dark Green for you to compare.



I personally think darker HW goes quite nicely with Miss Dark Green. But I understand how some do not share the same opinion. I didn't like raised CC too much when they introduced it for 08P, but eh... I think I'm getting used to it already. I believe my SA once told me they would continue to use these new CC locks.

I have two more little things to show ya and they are...

1) 08P brooch I got on sale




2) Robertson Blvd nail polishes. Lol!



As soon as they hit the online, I got all four colors. Aw... I'm such a sucker for these so called limited edition kind of things. I almost didn't go for the yellow, but shipping for four bottles was same as three, so I went what the heck. And in the end, I was a happy customer because yellow in real life was much nicer than I thought.

They came in a nice jewel size box like so,



With a sample of eye cream...



I'm currently wondering if polishes would truly stay as "limited editions." I know that's what they are advertising but aren't they also supposed to be exclusive at Robertson? If they really are one time thing, I think I need to stock up more.

Ahh, the turquoise Jumbo is beautiful!! Haha, I know what you mean... I have a lot of medium flaps, and more often than not, a medium flap fits everything I need... I guess I travel light! I so wish I could do lambskin, because the turquoise is really more of a teal, and right up my alley! Congrats girl, and enjoy your beautiful new Jumbo... sometimes bigger is better haha!

Minal, remember how I was hoping it would be truly turquoise, as in much brighter bluer kind of color? So when I saw pics of another tPFer here, I was crushed! I thought it was nice but it just wasn't what I was expecting when I heard the word "turquoise." Then I saw the listing by Personalshoppers and got intrigued again. Lol~

It turned out to be much closer to the pics in the forum in real life but interestingly, I liked it immediately. I guess one has to see the bags in person after all. It keeps coming out bluish no matter what I do but it's got lot more green in real life.

* I also got to see the dark green patent jumbo in real life yesterday!

Ooohhhh, Justine!!! This is BEAUTIFUL!! Congrats on your very first jumbo, the teal is such a stunning color. I thought about calling BG for this, but decided to wait for the turquoise metallic from B. Love the nailpolish set too! I'm SO happy for you girl! Enjoy!

PS, this might be your "first" jumbo, but it definitely won't be your last!

Hi J! Yes, I remember haha. Ohhh, I saw that listing too and it intrigued me, because the bag looked so bright (must be the lighting she uses). Hmm, I love the pics I see of the bag here, and I really wish this beauty came in caviar! I think I'll hold out for the perfect shade of bright blue in caviar... but who knows if/when that may happen!

Ahh, green patent Jumbo?! Spill girl!!!! I'm still having a never ending medium v. Jumbo debate, but I've been leaning towards the medium haha. Do you think the green patent, coupled with the shiny silver h/w, is a bit much in the Jumbo size? Hmm, plus I already have two Jumbo patent flaps (and other caviar ones)! Would you say the color looked very much like this wallet (taken from the BG look book)?



Darker IRL? Lighter? Ohhh, and most importantly, are you getting it haha?
