Love your modeling pics and the lizard Gucci with the Chanel scarf is also gorgeous!
Nice pictures sweetie

!

LOL - I think I have long way to go with my modelling pics - but thank you all the same... and funny how you like the pic featuring a Chanel piece **CHANEL**

I couldn't have done this reveal without your **CHANEL**, Bonny_Montana's, queen asli's help and other's encouragement. Did I just make my Oscar speech

Ideas above my station

the "secret" is the most elegant bag of the f/w collection to me. It beautiful, and I like it best in this version, without the canvas. congrats!

(I like all the other baggies as well, very nice

)

Could you put in a word for me at Gucci HQ please?

Thank you for your other cheery words, some time I'll fish-out all my other Gucci bags

and a GUCCI-WALL of ready-to-wear

Love the newest pics of your handbags. Great eye for the details and arrangement in your photography!!!

I love how you pair up your tan boots with a dark outfit - it gives it such a wonderful pop of colour! btw is that a fur skirt? I've never seen anyone wearing a fur skirt so it's unique to me (and I'm from Canada!) - anyways it's lovely!

Thank you, I certainly think they are an improvement on yesterday's 'effort'.

The fur 'skirt' is the last part of my McQueen cashmere coat (it's done up all the way because I only have my nightie on underneath

).

The coat is in 3 parts and each part unzips: part 1 is a jacket with a fur collar; part 2 is a short coat length; part 3 is made of fur that makes it full length and can also be worn as a stole by its self. Very ingenious that Mr McQueen. I shall immodestly tell too that I also have the matching trousers and skirt

. When I like something I realll really like it LOL.

Surprise, surprise it came from the first year when Gucci Group took over Alexander McQueen

no prob, I'll ring them tomorrow!

oooh a whole wall? can't wait to see it!

ayla · Oct 25th, 2009, 10:38 PM

Wowza, I`ve never seen a Gucci quite like it ! Congrats !

runaway bride · Oct 25th, 2009, 10:52 PM

OMG, I didn't read any word of this five pages, but I only saw the pictures of your Secret

It is so beautiful and elegant, and your outfit, OMG! Congrats!

(I could see the strap you add to your Boston with all the hearts, just like I did with my Bostons

)

papertiger · Oct 26th, 2009, 09:54 AM

Ayla and Runaway Bride thank you both

Runaway B - yes, it's a spare strap from another brown Gucci from a couple of years ago. I think it's a great idea just to have it there even though it doesn't hang leevel. Even if a don't use it over the shoulder throughout the day, I'll twist around my wrist for added 'security'. Unlike my plain black leather travel tote that I can just turn around if I don't particularly want evryone to kow it's Gucci - there is no hiding these GG canvas bags. It's also useful if I just need my hands free for a while like when I'm on the phone and I'm holding my nefew's hand and such. You can see I have put a purpose-built one with a padded shoulder piece on my YSL Majorelle as well, that bag can hold a lot but it can also get too heavy for the handles for my liking.
