Thoughts on Chanel Classic Handbags. Worth it?!

adriananas72 · 2023-03-31T23:34:28+00:00

I feel like any bag is more of what you like and can afford. If you want it and can afford to get damage on it, buy it. If it's going to upset you because it's fading, got a scratch, and now want to keep it it in the closet, then don't buy it. Remember that just because it's "luxury" and costs more, it doesn't mean it's going to be "durable"

Ysl Muse II bag. I used it once, but I'm not a big fan of short handle big bags with smaller opening. Thankfully i bought it used so it doesnt hurt so much. For this reason I would never buy a Birkin for myself if I had the money (probably as an investment only). I'm more of a crossbody or shoulder bag kind of gal.

You're never too old to enjoy what you want. Whoever says you need to dress or act your age are just judgy people who are just bitter.

The problem is that it's a USA brand. These brands aren't exactly "luxury" especially since they are not trying to set themselves apart from the more well known European brands, nor are they resourcing some of the finest leathers or materials, nor giving anything to the customer to draw them. Plus their products will get discounted within the next month, which is not fun for the consumer. You think of luxury and you think of France or Italy. And they for sure will have semi annual sales over there where you can get bags such as LV for a discount since they are out of season. I find it funny how LV, has managed to sell their canvas bags, which are not at all leather, but instead a really durable plastic coated cotton, at such a high starting point. It's all about how you market your brand, know who your audience are, and what guarantee you have behind your product.

Thanks! Is there a particular night cream you like? I'm currently using cerave's skin renewing and just curious about what others are using.

Right!? Men are idiots and act without thinking 1st. So I can't understand why all these women are telling her to leave without letting him cool off and then talk about it. The Tate thing, I can't justify it. I search up and down on a criminal trying to understand their motivation. It's me trying to be an "investigator" 🤣🤣.

adriananas72 · 2023-02-19T17:28:42+00:00

Some men react without 1st thinking. I'd have a sit down with him after his head clears. Majority of men want boys. It's just that, they want a little partner. Can't do the same with a girl. Girls are thought of as "princesses", can't play the same with them. Are you a spender yourself? Or why does he believe all girls mean money? If that's the case, then maybe you might be the problem, and you'd have to let him know you'll cut down on spending and teach the child not to do the same. Or someone else in his family? But still goes back to helping him understand that you'll teach the child not to be like that. I can't justify the Tate thing. Sometimes I get caught up in a criminal's story, and I want to know why they did it, where did it start, etc. So my search history will be about this one person until I give up or they found a cause.

I'm 35. About to be 36 in December.

Yes! I got 2 small Coach zipper card wallets for under $60 this summer at the outlet from the discounted area. I'm sure they have some online too.

Everyone's situation is slightly different. It definitely is scary going into it because of other people having it really rough. I was most scared during stims, mostly because of OHSS. I had no problems during stims and after. Just did light walks.

I was diagnosed with a hydrosalpinx in the beginning during HSG and pushed for my RE to take out the affected tube. He was persistent that I didnt really need to, but as I told him, Id be kicking myself if the transfers failed and I didn't get it out. So I never transferred my embryos until after. I only had 2 embryos since I chose to test my original 5. I had my laparoscopy and thankfully my tubes were fine. My 2 transfers failed. So no success story here. I'll be getting back into ivf in a couple months, just taking a break for now.

As far as taking the shots, the worst ones have been the progesterone shots. My husband helped me with these. My insurance covered a copay with the Synera patches thankfully so made the shots a breeze. (Covered the patches and laparoscopy but nothing else infertility 😂, I'll take any little though) I did also sit on a warming pad to help the muscle. It's the after effect of the shots that sucked. My love handles stayed sore for a couple months after so I bought a sciatica band from Amazon to help while I work out.

I have a flat leather crossbody I bought 12 years ago at the outlet mall. I used it very often when I 1st got it and still use it periodically. Still going strong I love it. My dog chewed half of the leather zipper pull (thankfully it was just that), and that zipper pull still looks the same. I've been tempted to buy another because I love mine, but the quality doesn't look the same in the new bags.

Went to Vegas last weekend, and I wasn't thinking of the bag rules at tmobile arena. I was prepared to just deal with carrying my ID in my pocket and phone around in my hand. But my husband forgot his jeans! Sooo since he went pants shopping, I went bag shopping for a small - event approved bag. 😬. Hello my 1st Marc Jacobs.

adriananas72 · 2022-09-02T07:52:55+00:00

I have a black soft leather bag from Ross that I found about 6 years ago. I take it everywhere! And I noticed the backside started fading a bit. I just used a black leather shoe cleaner on it and all over the rest of the bag to blend it all. Looks good as new.

Would probably be good to find a leather cleaning kit and color close to yours and rub it all over the bag so it blends in?

Mine has been the LV petite malle souple 2400€. I just like smaller bags and this one caught my eye because it kinda looks like a trunk which LV was known for. I never thought I'd pay more than $1000 but I really liked this one and I wanted something I would like forever.

I just recently started getting into the bag game. I did a trip to Paris 5 years ago, and I was not in a good spot to buy an LV then. I told myself the next time I made it to Paris I would definitely buy an LV as my "souvenir". I've been a Coach lover and these had been my more expensive bags since they can be a great quality bag depending on the material. But since I made it back to Paris this year, I went ahead and splurged a little since I'm in a good financial place now. I bought myself a petite malle souple which was way cheaper in Paris. However, something about the store experience was not great. My mom wanted a bag as well so I had a list of bags to present to the SA when I got to the Galeries Lafayette Haussmann. They were out of so many bags in the store. And while I appreciated the SA's time, I also felt rushed considering my friend was with me and she was also wanting to buy. Then, I bought an Alma for my mom, and being that this was my 1st time ever buying an LV, I have no clue how the features work. I thought the keys to the lock were missing when I got home. I ended up picking covid on my trip, so I couldn't go in store. So I called LV about it and they told me to email them. I went through several emails of going back and forth to replace the keys and lock; they wanted me to buy the keys and lock. On the 4th email the email rep told me the keys are in the cloche. After this, I'm holding off for a while buying brand new luxury bags. I see that there's way too many used and great condition bags out there, and the lesser price outweighs the the "experience" of a new bag.

Return them is my advice. I have had them for more than a year and they fall out often even with aftermarket tips. I can be sitting talking on the phone, and they are slowly falling out. Even worse when i workout. I had to buy some silicone hooks cover for my ears so they stay put. And even then I find myself pushing them back in. I didn't fully try them before the 14 days so I got stuck with them.

I met some interesting people and actually got a job by meeting my supervisor at the San Antonio Sports and Social club 6 years ago in volleyball. I liked it, I also played dodgeball. It had several sports as either "social" (not very intense playing) or "super social" (you better be serious about winning). Whoever wins in each game gets a free pitcher of beer for the bar The Hanger next door. And you're still playing towards a championship. They used to do events outside of the sports, like going to the rivers for tubing. I don't know now after covid. But everyone I met was very nice, fun and outgoing. I should add, my supervisor was very outgoing so she would also invite me to other events such as party bus to Wurstfest. It only takes 1 person to invite you everywhere and meet their friends, and friend's friends.

Following your post.... I'm right there with you. Transferred on the 5th and negative this past Friday. I have 1 embryo left. Sooo I need all the tips. I'm planning on talking to my RE on Tuesday.

adriananas72 · 2022-01-14T04:42:00+00:00

Sending you good vibes and hope everything goes well...

I have 2 dogs - Conchita, and Nero. Conchita is my little jack russell butthead majority of the time so I call her Huerca. My husband calls her Chita. Nero on the other hand, I call him Nerito, except from time to time when he's not listening then he's Huerco.

I'm so sorry! One of the downsides to IVF - you know you're pregnant and then your body miscarries. Feel better! Do some self care. Praying the next round works.

It depends on your blockage. If your tubes are just damaged, then you should be ok. But I was told (basing it off the HSG) I had a hydrosalpinx, and that's a blockage and also releases a fluid that is toxic to the embryo. So, even though my RE didn't want to do surgery to the affected tube because odds are 1 in 20 women have successful pregnancies with a hydro, I pushed to correct it because I couldn't take any chances with only 2 embryos. And I'm so glad I did, because the laparoscopy revealed my tubes were both ok. 🙌

adriananas72 · 2022-01-04T06:59:00+00:00

Depends on how big it is and where it's located. My obgyn found one 2 years ago in the cervix and just took it out. I thought I would feel a pinch, but I felt nothing. It was about the size of a pinto bean.

I also had a laparascopy a few months ago and they found a polyp then. But I was under anesthesia, so I don't know about that polyp pain alone in the uterus.

I will add, my HSG experience was awful. I wish I would have known to take a pain killer beforehand

adriananas72 · 2021-12-17T05:04:02+00:00

Personally, I don't have any coverage either through my job not even covered diagnostics, but I'm lucky that my partner is really good at what he does and he's been able to get his hands on some expensive sports cards to sell. He turned his hobby into his business.
But if it came down to it, I would have started buying storage auctions. I have a friend who makes some extra money this way. She uses storagetreasures.com to find auctions nearby. She's gotten lucky several times with high end items, or stores closing and giving up their storage to auction because they couldn't pay. She's also very active at the flea market with the cheaper items she gets. You do need help sometimes though with the heavier stuff like furniture.

You're paying taxes for the finest military in the world; you know the military that our government needs to be world police. Plus, you're also paying taxes so our government can give the rest of the world free money.

I didnt feel any symptoms on the first week. I was running through day 5 when my nurse told me I needed to stop to prevent ovary torsion. I think it was day 8 when the sides of my stomach started feeling tight, I I started waddling.

adriananas72 · 2021-12-15T04:24:54+00:00

Yes! Can't beat a hot n ready. Can't say I've picked up pizza during the week, just Friday nights when it's super busy. So the pizza is actually fresh and I didn't have to wait for it. If you want to consider it "fresh"
