Been itching for it for the longest time ever. Here are five great reasons why one SHOULD own a Chanel Flap Bag!

1. They’re just going to go up in price later: Seriously, are you considering buying one? If you are, go ahead and do it. Chanel is among the masters of the crippling price increase, jacking up the MSRPs of its bags every six months to a year, sometimes by as much as $500 for a basic bag. As a general rule, bags don’t hold their value all that well, but constantly rising prices keep the timeless flap bags fairly easy to resell later. Plus, even if you don’t take resale into consideration, you’re just going to have to fork over more cash if you wait.

2. Owning one is like getting in to one of the most exclusive sororities on campus: Except, you know, this is real life. Legendary actresses, socialites and royals have carried this bag, and hey, if you can’t marry a prince, you can at least buy the same bag as the broads who can. Or the same bag as the girls from The Hills – it seems as though the bag has become the go-to accessory when a younger woman wants to signal to the world that she has grown and matured into a fashionable lady.

3. So many designers have been “inspired” by the flap – if you’re going to pay big bucks, get the original: Everyone from Urban Outfitters to Marc Jacobs has been accused of stealing from Chanel’s signature bag, and there’s a good reason for that – it’s timeless, iconic and still as relevant to luxury customers today as it was back in the 1950s. Chain straps and quilted leather have become nearly synonymous with the idea of the designer handbag, and the Chanel flap may even be more well-known across the world than the illustrious handbag holy grail, the Hermes Birkin.

4. Buy a flap bag in caviar leather and it will likely outlive me and you both: Seriously, that stuff is indestructible. Run your fingers – no, better yet, run your fingernails along it next time you’re near a Chanel bag made of the material, and you’ll see what I mean. It has a finish nearly as tough as Louis Vuitton monogram canvas, but you’re paying for actual leather instead of, well, canvas. With how much those monogram bags run these days, the price of a neutral leather Chanel bag with similar durability seems downright reasonable. But…

5. Despite their cultural ubiquity, the bags themselves are still too price-prohibitive for everyone to own: They come in sizes ranging from XS to XL, but even the smallest of the Chanel flap bags is way more expensive than the average woman wants to spend. You’re in no danger of seeing your bag on every woman on the block (unless you live on a really, really nice block, but if you do, there’s probably no sense in trying to stay one step ahead anyway), and even if you see a lot of people carrying non-Chanel bags that look similar, there’s absolutely no comparison when you see and hold a Chanel flap bag in person.

This whole arduous process of job searching is really getting to me. Sometimes I really doubt those recruitment agencies, cos they always make it seem as though they've tons of jobs available when in fact they have none?
This is not fun at all.
And it really doesn't help that my ideal job is so outta this world.

sometimes I do think that the course u're in does make a tremendous difference. sigh makes me regret giving up my place in WKWSCI all over again. If I hadnt, I might just be a step closer to landing my ideal job (if I'm lucky enough, that is. heh).

I don't totally abhor the course that I'm currently in, but the opportunities out there are just so limited.

I'm still trying to figure out how someone can EVER be so good-looking?? He's hot and charming, the ultimate epitome of manhood/prince charming.

Josh Duhamel totally swept me off my feet, and I (no, its EVERYONE) want a piece of him NOW. Fergie's one lucky lady to have snagged him!

Gosh, I was looking through the archives and was brought back to entries dated couple years back (shall not say the exact year hehe).

And I was flabbergasted by the way I used to write. Haha reading them again seriously made me cringe NON-STOP, it was pretty infantile, to say the least. Breaking up my sentences with trains of dots (ie, Hihi.........so how was ur day, etc. WAS THAT THE TREND LAST TIME??????). Not too sure if I should laugh or cry!

Cant believe I was so free to detail almost EVERY SINGLE ACTIVITY of my day. I actually believed pple were interested to know what I did. (maybe **** la, but still!)

Then again, it was X years ago. Feels quite nice reading them over again and laugh at myself though. Makes for good boring afternoon =)

Still cant stop cringing. hahaha.

No post-FYP party glitterati and the likes, I'm just glad to be in the comfort of my home, mind free from any FYP/thesis-bugging issues and endless editing.
