Chanel Bags...

Hello....not a stealth boast, more of a quick, help me not look like a chav....

A friend of mine is in handbag shop right now. He's just text me saying would I prefer a "Chanel Quilted Caviar leather Flap bag" in black, red, white or gold.

What do I have? Discounted red as I have a red Lulu Guiness clutch. Is white chavtastic? Do I go classic black, or nudey gold? Both I have loads to match, outfit wise. Help quickly please!!!! What's best?

Googled them...I presume it's the small one. He doesn't know me that well to spend loads.

TIA!!! x x x

I am learning so much from this thread.

Amber has enlightened me as to why Karl spoke to my husband, but blanked me.

Gucci come up tiny, not just length but the width is ridiculous. If anyone has tiny feet, size 3.5 and very narrow, I have a pair of strappy Gucci heels in black I am selling. Alternatively I could trade them if anyone wants to pretend to like me for an afternoon, seeing as Karl didn't Angry Sad

World, I take it that your husband is not a short man? Grin

TheRealSugarHut · 09/01/2014 17:31

The watch, for a cheapy Swarovski affair is actually quite nice on!! Does for during the day, definitely.

Have you noticed how it's all gone quiet lol. (Well bugger me...if she's telling the truth about that, then good god she might just be telling the truth about it all. Shit.)

Funny how I never feel the need to ask anyone to justify or prove themselves. I like the idea that MN is full of a diverse crew from one extreme to the other although I guess 90% of posters fall into a similar bracket, but just because someone doesn't fit the mould, doesn't make them imaginary, or made up. I guess some can't, or for reasons only known to them, don't want to accept that.

worldgonecrazy · 09/01/2014 17:33

Average height but with no idea who Karl was, which both amused me and pissed me off. It completely ruined my dream of walking in a Chanel show Sad

This 5'4" woman is definitely not model material. Grin Grin

TheRealSugarHut · 09/01/2014 17:41

worldgone if your 3.5 are tiny on you, what shoe size you usually take?

TheRealSugarHut · 09/01/2014 17:43

*do

MissBeehiving · 09/01/2014 17:48

Threads generally go quiet on S & B when the items are minging and we're all too polite to say Wink

dexter73 · 09/01/2014 17:49

I imagine it has gone quiet because people are cooking dinner. It is also quiet on here from 8.30-9.30 in the morning and 3-4 in the afternoon.

TheRealSugarHut · 09/01/2014 17:50

Lol. Another beautiful personality. Did you not know what sparkly uggs looked like until just now? No, course you did. It's gone quiet because everyone shouting troll has just been made to look rather silly. Bluff called, and answered :)

MissBeehiving · 09/01/2014 17:54

I had a pair of Uggs 4/5 years ago, but I have never see a sparkly pair before. They're very distinctive.

MacaYoniandCheese · 09/01/2014 17:55

Yikes! What's going on here then?

Sugar it seems a bit wasteful and profligate to solicit expensive gifts that you don't really want or need from a lonely man whose intentions may/may not be innocent. If he's intent on showering you to demonstrate his affection, why not ask him to make a donation to a charity you are passionate about? Then you could buy the bags you really want/need yourself?

AmberandMignonette I love to lurk on MNV but rarely participate as I can't afford to indulge and share very often. I'm more of the 'save up for an expensive bag' type. You always seem so welcoming and friendly over there; this has sort of left a bad taste in my mouth Sad.

gaggiagirl · 09/01/2014 17:56

I have always wondered if it is sheepskin under the sparkly uggs or fabric and what colour it is.

Have a peek for me OP.

I would like some.

propertyNIGHTmareBEFOREXMAS · 09/01/2014 17:56

I've been a bit tempted with the sequin uggs. I always find something else to blow my money on though. The uggs call me, but only quietly.

Lifeisaboxofchocs · 09/01/2014 17:57

Bless you sugar! These days I wouldn't have much opportunity to use a gold Chanel bag sadly. Squirrel it away, I am sure that it will be just perfect sometime later down the line. Worse case, re gift it.

I am saving up Mumsnet Vogue for tonight when I can have a proper browse. I have honestly chuckled on and off all day about the very twinning of those two words... Mumsnet and Vogue. Priceless.

And still they question whether you are telling the truth. They just can not get their heads around the fact that there are some seriously rich people out there. They buy gifts. It is not a big deal. And yep, they tend to buy gifts for attractive women. It is a pattern repeated no matter how much money is involved and really isn't something to get your knickers in a twist.

TheRealSugarHut · 09/01/2014 17:58

They've been around for years. They do them in all different colours. I don't like them too much as they're so stiff. Australia Luxe Collective are my slouchy round the house boots of choice. Way more comfy, and better made too. But these are very sparkly...which is nice. So is the watch, really really catches the light...looks a bit crap on there. But the little pile of stuff is neither here nor there. The bit that matters is the bit of paper with my name next to it, shutting up all the sweethearts with attitudes shouting "troll" :)

cathyandclaire · 09/01/2014 18:00

Ooooh Worldgonecrazy I am that small footed potential Gucci wearer...tell me more!

sadsqueaker · 09/01/2014 18:01

What's with the mid-thread name-change op?

TheRealSugarHut · 09/01/2014 18:04

life without sounding like an arsehole by saying "if I don't like it you can have it" which sounds very much like "here have stuff I don't deem worthy of my godlike self" Wink I do truly mean if it's not to my taste when I see it, you may absolutely have it. That is regifting. Just to you. :)

Ummm gaggia I'm not really sure... the inside is the wool like sheepskin lining on the suede boots, but I can't lift up any of the sequins on the outside to see what they are directly sewn on too.

Lifeisaboxofchocs · 09/01/2014 18:04

love the pic

TheRealSugarHut · 09/01/2014 18:07
Thanks
gaggiagirl · 09/01/2014 18:10

Ah so they are 'solid' sequins not just dotted all over. Never seen them in that colour before they are lovely.

but what does it prove other than you have a pile of stuff? Confused

TheRealSugarHut · 09/01/2014 18:22

The difference is...so few people show genuine kindness and warmth. Most (for reasons that are a reflection on them, not me) are, well, like the beautiful personas on this thread.

life hasn't arse-kissed because of who she may/may not think I am. She hasn't got a clue either way, and more importantly doesn't care either way, which is how it should be. She doesn't make accusations, act like a snob, or shout liar. So yeah, why the hell shouldn't I let her have it. In a sea of cliquey unwarranted vitriol she went out of her way to be nice. I've got enough bags. The world needs more people like that.

The misinterpretation about why I started this thread is quite spectacular. But yes, as per usual, anything I say people jump on the context and don't want to believe it...so the whole thread fucks off on a tangent of why I must be a made up character, and me giving examples attempting to show, that no, actually I'm not.

Like it is again now.... Hmm

HoldMeCloserTonyDanza · 09/01/2014 18:26

Now, now, credit where credit's due!

The purple UGGs are much better than the gold or silver ones I'm afraid I'd assumed you'd gone for.

Did Shep Huntleigh ask for the Coco Noir back?

(Why the namechange? Is there a SugarHut impersonator on the loose? That would seriously make my night!)
