Happy Day!

A little story before we get to the reveal. 

I had to crash Kelvin’s shoot with a very well-regarded designer, to collect a Chanel bag for a Happy camper (see later). I walked up the building, and stood behind him as he looks at his shots on the mac.

Eventually he looked up at me waving at him, puzzled, he ventured, “Oh, you are Carol….’s FRIEND.” 

!!!!!

Oh my goodness. Now, this dude has known me for more than a DECADE. I can only imagine how different I really look to my friends. Suffice to say, laughter all round, when I told him I’m REALLY Carol, just chipmunked. Hehe.

Seeing Jenny open her beautifully wrapped up package was such a pleasure. We practically squealed (yes, just imagine two grown women doing that) at the gorgeousness of the beige Chanel. The magic is the gold hardware. Beige and gold are just made for each other.

What a beauty.

The coveted Carousels

We had a request from a lovely lady, for the Carousel necklace with pearls. Have you seen it? It’s a dream. The Carousel charm had a mini classic flap, a mini pearl bracelet, a mini shoe and mini camellias that could turn and shimmy up and down the ‘poles’. It is sold out in Singapore.

I called Chanel Rue Cambon, and was told that the Carousel necklaces in all Paris boutiques had been cleared out more than two months ago. Amazing, just amazing. It was retailing for 1260 euros in Paris (in Singapore, it was S$3400, thereabouts.)

If you are interested in the 35″ Chanel Classic Pearls, it’s retailing for 515euros (Singapore – S$1200 last year, thereabouts. Updated on 7Dec: I went to enquire about it last Thursday, it is now going for close to $1400, and there’s a waiting list.).
