Hello, fellow Chloe lovers! :sunshine:

I recently went on vacation to Las Vegas with a very determined side mission in mind: to finally find my first and perfect Chloe. I've been on this SF for awhile now, poring through threads and threads of all your lovely photos and insightful comments. I was pretty dead set in my heart that I wanted a Marcie.

Fast forward to this past week at the Chloe boutique in the Palazzo. Never had I been among so many Chloes in all their splendor... Marcies and Paratys galore... every size, current colors, upcoming colors, hobos, satchels, every variation currently available, literally! :woot: My head was spinning with options. Everything was so beautiful!

But glistening on its own stunning but humble display table was this beauty... creamy, pebbled ivory leather, the perfect backdrop to striking, plentiful rose gold hardware, slouchy yet structured, breathtakingly feminine. I'd felt bag love before, but this was bag LOVE.

It was a hard decision to tear away from my Marcie dream, but at the same time a no-brainer, really. In bags and in life, the heart wants what it wants!

So without further ado, I present my Elsie Day Bag in Ivory with Rose Gold Hardware :yahoo:

Thanks for letting me share, ladies! It's been such a fun bag year for me and my new Elsie is truly the icing on the cake. I am banning myself for the rest of 2012 to enjoy my recent beauties, this one most of all! :cutesy:

Wow! She's so classy and elegant. She looks heavenly and you look so posh carrying her. Enjoy the rest of 2012 with your new Elsie - congrats! Ooh and beautiful photos (I could eat up all those details!).:smile:

Yay!! I'm so glad you went with the Elsie! She's absolutely stunning. That leather is TDF and the rose gold hardware...oy! I can totally understand the love at first sight. And...bonus...you look amazing carrying her! I'm so happy for you!!! Congrats on finding your first Chloe love. And I'll be your partner in Ban Land for the rest of the year. Then we can plot together on our 2013 Chloe purchase! :P

Wowie! That leather looks so luxe, I can't even believe it. The color combo is lovely; there's nothing more elegant than ivory ... but the rose gold is a nice detail, classy but on-trend! Congrats, she looks great on you!
