I had an off white denim vest outfit in my head and this top and pants were exactly what I had in mind. Speaking of things I couldn’t get off my mind, ever since I saw this bag shimmer down the runway at the Cruise show, I had to have her for my 40th. I immediately contacted my SA and asked to reserve it, but she later told me they were not getting that colorway. The new rules prevent SA’s from pulling from another store, so that option was out. My best friend reserved  one with her SA in Paris, and went there, but they never even got one at the Rue De Cambon store. Another bestie of mine went to Paris and tried but to no avail. The day after Bethenny Frankel was turned away at the Chicago boutique, I walked in on a rainy day wearing these jeans and new balance sneakers and was welcomed by the security guards. My friend who tried to get the bag in Paris (on the second attempt mission) was freaking out as I walked in and said, “THEY HAVE IT!” When the SA was showing her something inside the cabinet, she spotted the sequins from the side and said, “THAT! My friend is on her way and she is going to faint!” I have the greatest friends, and for that I am so blessed. ‘Twas a Chanel miracle on Oak Street, and I love that I have her to commemorate one of the best girls weekends ever. Some things are just meant to be.
