paula, you gotta get the stardust cecilia for your bday! i think you'll regret it if you don't.

yeah, it takes a lot of patience. there's a lot of crap to sort through and many times i dont find a darn thing...but when it pays off, it pays off! although i must say i have never found any MJ...not yet anyways.

that cecilia chain is on the long side. you might be able to carry it crossbody, the bag will just sit higher up on your torso.

paula_rose · Jul 3rd, 2009, 01:40 PM

maybe someone will randomly sell their strap on the bay!!

tadpolenyc · Jul 3rd, 2009, 01:41 PM

even then, it would have to be dyed to match, right? isn't there a small piece of leather that's the same color of the bag on the old skool cecilia straps?

jun3machina · Jul 3rd, 2009, 01:42 PM

you might be ale to get diego to send you one too.

i just emailed him about that seuined dylan bag t see if he could tell me anything. i did find out the 'dragon yu' company is MJ's importer though...

paula_rose · Jul 3rd, 2009, 01:46 PM

Tad, yup- I dont have a cecelia, but I bet you're right.
Off to get a Wiiiiiiiiii brb!

MY FIL is the same way, he bought me a 400$ watch for christmas, it was hideous! I kept thinking, for that amount, he could have gotten me the ZC i wanted.! Still sweet though

jun3machina · Jul 3rd, 2009, 01:57 PM

my sis is kinda the same way...she gave me sme crazy expensive blender/food processor for my birthday...and i dont know when i'll ever use it. i prefer slicing and dicing..it was sweet of her...

tadpolenyc · Jul 3rd, 2009, 02:05 PM

don't you hate that? you're grateful they thought of you and got you anything at all, then at the same time, you're thinking about what you could've gotten with the money they spent on you.

she told me she purchased me a mulberry bag as a souvenir from london even though i told her there was a mulberry boutique in the west village, then she said she got me two things from lv because she knows mj is my favorite designer. i'm thinking, "ma, yes he is my favorite designer, but for his own line!!!"

Tad -- where did you find a Blue LZW?
that's the one I was waiting for!
Did Nordstroms get them? Or did Gabby come thru for you?

totally. i mean, there's other 'appliances' that would have been much more useful. but oh well

tad~ maybe you should just insist that Mj is your favorite brand, that you are brand loyal and refuse to wear anything else. that way, she knows to ONLY get MJ. LOL

tadpolenyc · Jul 3rd, 2009, 02:14 PM

ilmb, gabby came through for me.

she hates that i'm so loyal to mj. she insists that i switch it up. she refuses to understand that i don't want to, so this is her way of diversifying my collection for me. she's cute and frustrating.

oh dear! tht's like yesterday i tried to explain to my older sis about the jacket i scored on....and she doesn't know names really...juicy couture and ed hardy are brands she knows...i dont think she knew who donna karan was/is...i was like...."this is like runway material!"

purexelegance · Jul 3rd, 2009, 02:57 PM

Yeah, I'm known in my family for my brand royalty as well. Literally every bag in my collection is MJ.

I think I'm going to head out to Astor Place and Ilyau Express to get my bag cleaned. AND I get to pick up my Louboutins that I got resoled today~! Woo

What else is everyone else up to?

paula_rose · Jul 3rd, 2009, 03:02 PM
