Info

Wearing Current Elliot denim, Chanel Boy bag, Givenchy Obsedia cuff, Isabel Marant jacket and belt, Acne tee. My rings are bought from Cambodia.

One could probably argue that it’s pointless spending on accessories, thing that I highly disagree. They are the only mean to elevate an outfit and should always be magnificent or else avoid them.  So on my recent trip, instead of filling my suitcase with pointless piles of clothes I’ve decided to go large with accessories and invest in my long time desires. I’ve strategically started with Chanel. Let me tell you a quick story about this. After I sandwiched myself among dozens of Chinese outside the brand’s boutique at Galleries Lafayette for about half an hour, I couldn’t believe my luck when the seller told me that she was having the last Boy bag in Paris. Redirecting my focus to the cashiers to pay for it, there were two hysterical middle-aged women who grabbed my bag, insisting to keep it for themselves. It was that rare moment that my inner bitch found the chance to shine. Needless to say that in two seconds everything have returned to their normal state. The bag was finally mine. The next day laughing with the previous parody and exploring my little treasure I’ve found in the inner pocket the price tag and it was 200 Euros cheaper than I have paid. WTF?  Are they auctioning  the Chanels? Evidently there was a mistake and I wouldn’t leave it like this. I went with the bag to Rue Cambon, the brand’s flagship store, to check with the manager the real price and yes I’m officially the first person in the world that Chanel paid back money( 200€). Mistake or not and after walking half the town, there are these two things stuck in my mind: Don’t trust anyone and always double-check!

    Funny story! :) I do agree with you Evangelie, details are so important and i think it acually is the most difficult thing to chose the right accessoires that will top the look instead of overhelming it! That’s probably why i usually leave them completly ;)

    All my money are invested in m accessories – So if (God forbid..) something should happen, I’ve told my BF that even
    though my life insurance won’t make up for all my bullshit, my accessories will ;-)

    Have a fashionable weekend Ev’

      Lol…. Sigi…that makes us partners..in crime!

    Ok that Chanel bag is just out of this world! SO SO JEALOUS! And what! you got 200 euros back, what a luck! Well I am sure you paid more than the price so its only fair but still! And those ladies, unbelievable! Plus the bag wasn’t even on sale, imagine otherwise! The cuff is special, maybe a bit too much for me (I prefer the collier de chien by Hermes, reason I got it) but wooooa that bag, I still can’t get over it! Gotta love Paris right!?

    • January 6, 2012

      Yes i really love Paris Catita…when i’m gonna see your necklace??? They gave me back just the false additional money I have payed….

    PERFECT PERFECT PERFECT! a perfect mix between boyish, chic and an exact dose of rebellious!
    God, how perfect is that boy bag, I’ll dream that bag tonight, that’s for sure. As well the obsedia cuff, which is already at the highest place on wish list!

    Great story! :D
    Love the Chanel Boy Bag!

  13. January 7, 2012

    I would have loved to see your inner bitch get that gorgeous bag ;)
    Totally agree with you on investing in accessories. A bag like that might only need jeans and a tee.
    Good for you that you got your money back, I didn’t expect that!
    XO, Lucy

    Hahaha, I laught so hard I almost cried! Girl, I love your bag, I´m having a Chanel heartattack!
    I love all your “details”…sigh…details are so important, they can make every simple shirt/ jeans combo special, so I totally agree with you here. I just got back from Paris yesterday and I know exactly what you are talking about in your last posts, e.g. weather (the rain was ooc but the wind, the wind plus rain was freaky) or Chinese tourists all over Paris. But still, it´s Paris and I love it so much, don´t we all ;) I totally enjoy your posts, you rock! xo Doro

    I’m loving that Obsedia cuff. Excellent with boyish looks you carry on soo good. Is that a silver or a gold toned cuff? I searched all over for the silver one but no luck. Where did you buy yours? Did you spot it somewhere online?
