Smile My very first Chanel!

I thought about it quite sometime if I post my new bag as all of you have seen many reissues already and my new grey reissue isn't any different than the rest just for one thing that she's mine now.
I searched almost the whole world for it and luckily I located one (with the huge help of the lovely me-love-purse) with Saks in San Antonio. It had to be shipped to Saks Beverly Hills so my dh, who was on a business trip in Anaheim, picked it up for me as in San Antonio they had problems with an international cc. Don't aks why, I never understood it. DH is such s sweetheart as he rented a car and went all the way to BH just to pick up my bag and he doesn't even like Chanel. So long story short.
Here are pics of me wearing her and without me.

Thanks ladies, you're all so sweet. I was really amazed that he did it because he's not a big Chanel fan but he knew how much my heart was st on this bag.

He actually swallowed a bit when he paid for the bag as I forgot to mention how much the tax were
When he had her he called me right away (it was the middle of the night here) to tell me that everything went fine and if I'd like a new DvF dress, too. So he picked a matching dress for my bag as well.
Even though we don't do Valentine's day here it was a bit like it when he came back with those lovely things for me.
Thank you for all your lovely comments.
