Chanel Washed Caviar GST - Part II

More pics of my new bag, this time with better (natural) light.

Spring/Summer Chanel Caviar Washed GST.

This bag wasn't supposed to come out until spring/summer, but my sales associate (Judy Chin) at Chanel Ala Moana got in three in black yesterday!!! Of course, I had to go run and snatch the one she put on reserve yesterday. I'm fairly sure I'm the first to buy it in Hawaii hehe. It's the Grande Shopping Tote but in washed caviar, instead of the normal more pebbly caviar.

I absolutely adore it! I can't wait to get to use it for the first time tomorrow.

Wearing Today: Monday 12/24/2007

Just came back from a nice Christmas Eve dinner at Aaron's atop the Ala Moana Hotel. I got to wear out some new purchases (dress and pumps). Both of which I got on sale!!! The pumps were only $30. Dress was something like $50-60.00.

Merry Christmas all!

Apple Garde Products

So I've been getting quite a few emails lately on how I keep my White Chanel Jumbo clean. I admit, spending a huge amount of money on a white bag makes me really conscious and aware of where I place the bag.

I don't freak out as much as I used to though, because I know if it does get dirty somehow I can always clean it with Apple Garde Leather Cleaner. It works really really well. I bought the water/stain repellent, leather conditioner, and leather cleaner. I highly suggest all three products for anyone who owns any leather products. They're fantastic.

I bought my set from leatherstuff.com.

Chanel J12 White 38mm w/ Diamond Markers

Introducing my new Chanel J12!!! It's the 38 MM size with diamond markers. I absolutely love how big it is, it's such a statement piece. It's not a total overuse of diamonds either. The diamond bezel version with diamonds around the face of the watch is very nice, but it's a bit too blingy for me. It's also way way way out of my price range. I love the diamond markers, they make the watch look more feminine and chic. I think I'll wear this watch every day until I'm old and gray. Maybe eventually I'll even get it in the black with diamond markers. That won't be for a while though hehe.

Black Patent Jumbo

This is my most recent Chanel acquisition. I got it for a special Hawaii price of $1,970! The mainland price is $2,395, so I feel like I got an excellent deal. It was killer having to wait for it to be sent via charge send from the Las Vegas Chanel. I absolutely adore it!

Chanel Classic White Jumbo in Caviar

For whatever reason, I never got around to blogging about my white classic jumbo. This has to be my favorite bag, hands down. It just goes with everything, and the quality is unmatched. Was I skeptical of getting white? Of course. However, I do take excellent care of my bags and inspect them daily. I also don't wear my white jumbo every single day. I tend to rotate my bags to insure none of them get worn out more than another. For anyone thinking of getting a white jumbo, it is a MUST have for any purse aficionado.

Camellia Necklace

LV Monogram Inclusion PM bracelet in Grey

I got the very last grey PM inclusion bracelet from Louis Vuitton Ala Moana. They only came in two days ago and they were already sold out (after my purchase). It differs from the previous version because it has a glittery finish when you look close up, and there are small pearls as well. $240 + tax.

Chanel Baby Cabas and Luxe Ligne Tote

Got these two babies this past summer of '07. Love love love them both. I use the luxe ligne tote for school (yes, school) and I use the Baby Cabas as my casual day bag. I must admit though, the baby cabas has been getting neglected some due to my two recent jumbo flap acquisitions.

Chanel Pink Dangle/Hoop Earrings

So, I know I said earlier that I was done with Chanel goodies for the year. Well, I have no self-control whatsoever. ;) Just got these from the Chanel '07 Collection. They sparkle amazingly in real life. The earrings have a slight hint of pink in the stones, but it's not an obvious pink at all. At first glance, I thought the stones were clear. The color is extremely subtle, but in a good way. *sigh* The Chanel bug bit very hard.

Chanel Wallet on Chain

Just got this wallet on Chain through Neiman Marcus catalog quick order. $1,325. The metallic leather is so stunning, I have no idea how they do it. It's really an exquisite piece. Very versatile in how you can wear it. You can wear it single strap over your shoulder, cross-body messenger style with the single strap, double strap, triple strap, tuck the chains inside the bag and use it clutch style. I got it primarily for evening and club use, but it's a bit too big and way too expensive to use as my daily wallet.

Chanel Camellia Card Holder

Got this for $230 from the Ala Moana Chanel. It's sooo pretty. I use it to hold my student ID and my liquor serving card. Eventually when I'm a doctor with business cards, I'll use it to hold those! That's not for a while though lol.

Chanel "Vintage" Belt

I got this belt off of eBay. I believe the oval tag stamp on the back says it's from the 2002 collection. It's got a great weight to it. It's got a tad bit of scratches on it, but I think I got a good deal on it. =)
