Kudo for you, Lola! You didn't make a same-day trip again, did you?!

Congrats on your 226! In fact my 1st Chanel is also a reissue but in 225 size. The longer chain is so much better for moms like us & we can wear it as messenger style!~ Enjoy her!~ So, you just can't wait for the PSN next week?!

What new bags did you see at the boutique then? Please tell when you have time!~

Hi Ceci -
I didn't bother to wait for PSN because I bought from the stand alone boutique - not Holts.
The boutique also had the 225 size, a m/l lamskin in black, & stuff from cruise. Chanel in Holts TO had a m/l GREY lambskin!! if it weren't for the too short straps, I would have bought that. They also had a reissue clutch, and a bunch of pink shoes (!!!). If PSN were a week later, I'd buy the shoes on PSN, lol. They also had the ruffly moscow flats. I hope all shoes don't sell out on PSN.

Lola, I wonder what makes you decide to choose this antique silver rather than gold hardware.

honeyspice · Nov 4th, 2009, 11:52 AM

They are beautiful purchases, congrats!

lolakitten · Nov 4th, 2009, 11:54 AM

Sheesh - you know you work with all men when there isn't a single full length mirror in the whole bloody office. K, I will take modeling pics on my lunch break & post 'em then :)

I'm just not a gold person - plus I wanted an everyday bag & silver works with my outfits more.

lolakitten: Nice first purchase! Looking at your bag makes me want to get a 226 to use everday too!

Lovely bag, congrats! And the scarf is beautiful!

Thank you Cari, Monap, Emmy, Alice, Bagalogist, & tally! (tally I think this is the perfect everyday bag!)

Ok, as promised modeling pics...I'm sorry they suck...I need to find a full length mirror!! I think I'm going to be shopping furniture this week instead of Chanel, lol.

I will try to get better pics tomorow!

ohh pretty...so according to your 2 days experience, is it kinda uncomfy on your shoulder if you put it for awhile?
