Chanel Coco Cocoon 2010
Today is a happy day, as I received such a valuable Chanel Coco Cocoon 2010 Brochure from my SA. The brochure is really unique, artistically illustrated by Karl Lagerfeld, featuring Vanessa Paradis. This latest series of Coco Cocoon is far beyond understated and desirable. Each beautiful product is distinctly identified by their discreet Chanel feel.... Makes me drool..... However, it is not in my wishlist, perhaps one day maybe?

Argg!! I want a pair of Rain Boots!!!
I'm living in a country without 4-season, so practically speaking I don't need a pair of boots. But I intend to get one, since I always travel & have my vacation during year end, which is winter. So let's see, what are the choices available?
1. Chanel Camellia Series
Chanel Camellia Boots (Fall Winter 09)
This is released last year if not mistaken, fall winter I bet. So I don't think the boutique is still selling it, unless I get it from a reseller, which is something I will never do. But, I really love it... sad!
Chanel Camellia Boots (Fall Winter 10)
There's always sunshine after the rain. Chanel is going to launch the following series real soon, in June, as part of the Fall Winter '10 Collection. It is available in 4 colours: Black, Red, Blue & Green. So glad that my SA informs me about this greatest news ever. I will definitely try on it in SG or Japan if the stock is available. Else, I will just reserve it from my SA. Very excited, and can't wait to see it in real life!
P/s: Shhh.... I've actually made a reservation from my SA.... This beauty will arrive somewhere mid-June. Stay tune for the colour & more pics for sharing!
2. Burberry Short Nova Heart Rain Boot
Isn't she lovely? The heel is slightly shorter than Chanel, which is more comfy to walk I bet? This pair also has very high tendency to be sold out, as the US website only left Size 40. Such a big size...
3. Burberry Heeled Rain Boots
What about this? A very classic Burberry look, with a higher heel. Not bad really, but is the boot too long for me?!?!
4. Burberry Check Rain Boots
Another shade of Burberry, darker colour, which is easier to match with any outfits. Dirt-proof, water-proof, what else you want to consider?
5. Haymarket Check Rain Boot
Latest Rain Boots Series, just launched during the beginning of May. It has a sweet red edge colour trim. Comes in few colours such as brown, red and yellow.
6. Coach Pixy Rain Boots
Again, this is another pair of signature Coach product. I like the transparent rubber sole with the good matching of colour. Another good bargain, and this pair is actually the cheapest of all my short-listed items.

Bottega Veneta.... I got Her!
I was dying to get a Bottega Veneta, and was seriously in love with the Intrecciato Nappa Series. Firstly, I intended to get the classic style, either black or brown medium Veneta in mind. However, when I came across the Nuvolato Veneta in Spring Summer 2010 Collection, I totally lost my soul. As it is SS Collection, once it is sold out, there will be no more production. What more, it's already May by now. Most of the luxury brands are already in the midst of preparing for Fall Winter Collection.
I have 2 choices actually, to wait until I visit Singapore this month end, or Japan in mid-June. But I can foresee that, it is quite unlikely to get her anymore, as she is really a piece of hot cake. Just when I'm about to give up, I read from the Purse Forum that, a high-reputation website in US, BlueFly, has Bottega Veneta as one of their brand new designer products. And, I couldn't believe my eyes that they actually have the Nuvolato in stock, one and only one. After searching for a trustworthy freight-forwarding company, I finally placed my order on this bag.
So, this bag of mine, fly all the way to me in these routes, a tiring & exhausting 7-day trip:
Route No.1 to Freight-forwarding company:
Sharonville - Louisville - Orlando - Sarasota (Florida)
Route No.2 to me:
Florida - Ohio - Hong Kong - Singapore - Malaysia
***Bottega Veneta Medium Paille Intreccio Nuvolato
Spring Summer 2010 Collection***
Simple explanation about her:
The entire body is made with tubular leather instead of flat "strips" like the tie dye. The new weave is very special & completely different to others in the collection. In this case, the weave works horizontally, adding a new fettuccia for each passage. This technique is like crochet chaining each stitch to the other. As the work evolves, it is knotted regularly to highlight the intreccio and create vertical lines. This job requires skilled craftsmen as it is highly complex.
Freshly released from the DHL box. Nice BlueFly paperbag & wrapping
Plentiful of Actions in my Study Room
The BlueFly Authenticity Tag is still hanging on her
In action
