Okay, I seriously LOVE those. Tres chic! I really want to get laser eye surgery, so don't think I will be buying new frames anytime soon, especially since I really like my current ones. But those are tempting!

Those are fabulously classic. Mine are more oversized. I got mine from Saks
Yes, I really want a Chanel bag - one of these days
When we went into the Chanel boutique, I told dh not to even look at the price tags

I definitely love them! I want another pair though
I was really tempted to get ones that were more oversized, more round, and with real pearls on the side. They were sort of a light brown, but also came in black. But they were like $250 more than the ones I bought! I still think about them.
Yeah, the bags are ridiculously priced. Even a tiny mini one is like $1500! At least the sunglasses aren't that much! I really want Chanel ballet flats or sandals and some of the costume jewelry. More affordable and realistic than the bags.

Chanel has really cut corners lately - all to improve profits. They keep raising the price of the bags but the quality of the newer bags just does not compare to the older ones. Many people who know the difference have stopped buying.
So my point is - you're not missing much.
Chanel sunglasses are licensed to Luxottica - so you won't have trouble with them. Luxottica makes a quality item.
End of rant.

Yikes, that really sucks that the quality has declined so much, especially since they keep increasing the prices. Glad to hear the sunglasses aren't going to fall apart! Can't help but still dream about a classic flap...

I love Exquise! I wore it today! And Seashell....and someone earlier asked about a good peachy-pink to wear over something (I'm sorry, I forgot - they say that's the second thing to go
) - you might try Paillettes - it's a very pretty peachy multi-colored shimmery go-with-everything glossimer! Or there's always Mica!!
Glad the bronzer is a hit - I love mine - have worn it every day for the last several days. It has staying power on me, and it's very natural looking. Can't tell it's not 'me'

I hope to be back on the boards again in a day or so, and need to update my blog - I'm not sure if Google is still having issues with photo uploads, but if not, I'll be posting some pics.
My hubby doesn't say anything anymore....he just shakes his head
Oh, and I know someone was asking me something....I'll go back and re-read and answer as soon as I can

Welcome back! Glasses aren't exactly makeup, but they are on the face, so I say they complement the Chanel makeup!
So glad to hear you love the bronzer too. Seems like there is nothing but good reviews from you lovely ladies!
I know I asked you if you've tried the Smashbox concealer and what you think of it. Not sure if there were other questions asked
funny men, naughty wives - mmm,yeah
Mine arrives tomorrow. So glad you like Exquise on.
