So have I mentioned that I went nuts this month? I am firmly on ban island for the next few months, but I don't normally do this and I got a bonus at work and a raise is coming...justification right? Let's get this started with a group mug shot.
The first offender is my first of its kind. A beautiful chanel brooch. I love sparkle and think this sparkle contrasts nicely with the ruthenium HW. My lovely saks SA helped locate this for me and had it shipped. I have included a shot with the tag in case anyone wants to track it down as well.
I went to Maui two weeks ago and forgot sunglasses. I convinced my boyfriend to let me "browse" Gucci and I found a great pair. I have a hard time fitting glasses to my face. I love fabulous huge ones, aviators, but I often look like an awkward bug in them. These are sparkly, fabulous, and they actually fit my face.
Next, some have asked about my shoes since my name here is related to shoes and not bags. Shoes are my first love but bags have been distracting me. However, I still manage to sneak some in. My saks SA helped me get the gucci pair, I acquired the other two pairs in Europe.
My last two were highly wanted fugitives. One I've been searching for since Dec 2015 but was never lucky enough to find. The other I was still oblivious to the utility of a mini and wasn't paying any attention when it released and it was gone quickly. I found the more recent one new in box with a reputable reseller upmarked, but not too ridiculous compared to some others. The long hunted one was found on a search whim, for just a little above retail, from a member on here, who also is from the same area I moved from before coming to LA. It was meant to be, but I was really fretting buying yet another bag this month. However, I know this would be hard to find ,in this condition, for the price and I had to do it. It came with everything- tag,box, dustbag, auth card, felts, copy of receipt. I still am shocked I found it.
Reveal because I can't draw this out too much!
The 17c pink chevron calfskin mini!!!!!!! I am in love with this bag. It is so soft, yet feels sturdy and the color and combo with the antique gold is to die for.
Sorry if that was obnoxious but OMG!!!!!! I just can't. This bag arrived today and it is pristine! It even smells new.
I have been wanting the caviar chevron mini with SHW and was afraid I wouldn't be able to get one this season. However, this has been THE ONE that I just thought was not going to happen. Ever. Because people mark this version of the jumbo up 1500-2000 above retail, people hunt these and will pay insane prices for them- and one day- oh there it was...just hanging out! And it was even better than I bought it from a woman who was literally living 1-2 miles away from me before I moved to LA and she included everything with the bag. And I spoiled it a little with a shot of the tag above that showed 15s lol.
The massive haul together that I had to quickly dismantle before my boyfriend saw it...he knows these things have arrived but maybe not this many . Luckily he was distracted with his video game.
