Thank you everyone who responded, helping me to decide between the Diorama and a Boy.
I went for the Boy and she's absolutely stunning. She makes my heart sing. I knew I wanted her anyways but with a unanimous vote on both the Dior and Chanel forums, I knew I wasn't alone in thinking she was special...
Introducing my second Chanel bag, Chevron Caviar Boy in dark red / burgundy with GHW. Season 17K.
I really don't want a big Chanel collection, and I hadn't planned on buying her. I bought my first Chanel (HG) classic flap for my 30th birthday last year and I'm perfectly content with her.
However, in the past 6 months, a lot of things have happened at work, with a promotion and some really nice successes. This week I had a magical moment: I spoke at a conference with 200 people, really high-profile and it went flawlessly. Everyone gushing to congratulate me. That never happens in real life, a "every star in the sky is taking aim at your eyes like a spotlight" moment.
And I thought I need to mark this moment, just celebrate and remember that I had one moment of greatness!! My 1 minute of fame.
So here she is, the bag that will remind me of my 'lady in red' moment
