I have to apologize for my absence lately. I have been so caught up with so many things. Busy with my work for one and tracking down my HG bag: the classic Jumbo flap in caviar leather in black from Chanel. Yes!!! I am finally the proud owner of my dream bag! :))

Besides, lately I have also been spending a lot of time on my favorite forum, a total must visit prior to buying your designer bag: The Purse Forum. If you don’t want to get ripped off, do your research on this forum first before buying a designer bag online! It truly helped me a lot (so many friendly and well-informed members there). Thanks to The Purse Forum (TPF for insiders) I managed to stay just a little bit more patient for my bag to arrive. I found out that I was not the only one waiting for the bag. And TPF gave me the info that new bags were arriving in the store, which made me alert for that specific phone call from the Chanel Boutique. I still managed to miss that phone call after all, but that’s a different story. I won’t bother you with my stupidity. ;)

In addition, it's good to know that there are people out there that share the same thoughts and experiences. Learn more about your favorite designer bag too and check it out: www.purseforum.com
