yay!
i'm new even though i've been posting heaps. hehe!
my name is jessica val and i'm a translator living in singapore right now. i grew up here but have lived in melbourne, australia for four years. am happier in melbourne but my family is here in singapore which is why i came back in 2003. but i plan to move back there some years later! i have a big sister in new york and i hope to also live there for a few years in the future.
i work from home, so i'm always on my imac! my foray into purses started with
coach, and i love the vintage legacy (vachetta) line from 2006/2007. i also collect some smaller pouch sets and kisslock purses. my collection is almost complete and hence i started to snoop around in chloe!
i have always loved paddies. a year ago i would never have imagined that i would start a chloe collection due to the prices. but as i got into more expensive legacy pieces, suddenly the price difference didn't seem that great anymore.
now i didn't plan to acquire my first chloe until maybe june this year? i still have a wristlet, a wallet and one kisslock purse to find before i'm completely done with coach. but one day, i was searching for my favourite chloes just for fun... within 24 hours, three options of the same bag turned up in descending price order! with a little bit of enabling from my sister, i took it as a sign and bought the third one! (only sheree and mica know what this bag is... shall i reveal or keep it a secret until it gets here?)
AND THEN! less than a week later, we bought my second chloe! more people know about this, since it was in the ATC getting approved!
so i am BANNED for now! and my chloes have not even arrived yet!
everyone here has been so awesome and i look forward to learning more about chloe and getting to know all the babes! it is indeed a whole different kettle of fish and some of the fakes are so much harder to tell apart than other brands. i feel like i'm in a new school with new schoolmates!
pleased to meet you, everyone!
