The Unraveling of Designer Ella * Shopping * Fashion * Blogging * Lifestyle

Ugh, babies, I’m sick!

I have an earache due to allergies. I’m waiting in between working medicine.

I really just noticed how bad it is.

I was feverishly hunting down Marc Jacobs, again, and now that I’m done, I feel very sick.

At least I feel better about the shopping.

(Oh and I’ll let you know how the Marc Jacobs thing goes. I’ve learned a lot about authentics vs. fakes.)

And guess what I don’t even like?

BCBG Max Azria oxblood leather ‘Montana’ handbag

That came. I ordered that Monday night. Fast shipping, gee thanks. It’s a beautiful bag, but it’s very tall so too large for my frame. It’s going back.

So what didn’t come? The bag I’ve wanted for 9 months. The COACH Medium Signature Carryall with brown calf leather. Geez, this thing is my baby and the delivery’s overdue!

And guess what else? I called Coach customer service today, and the order was only just processed. It’s due to arrive next Wed. August 2nd! At least now I know.

But I ordered it before seeing even a large picture because I wanted it fast. I wanted it before it hit stores. See, that’s a big deal for me, because I’m a perfectionist who must inspect every bag and pick out the signature layout that’s the best in my eyes (they’re all slightly different).

This is not a leather bag for which it doesn’t matter, like the black leather buckle satchel I ordered and did get before it was fully available in stores.

I swear, I’m going to the mall every day from tomorrow (salon appointment) through Wednesday and I will purchase a second one if I see it. And no embarrassment; I’m exchanging for a better one if this isn’t perfect. I know I’m not technically a VIP, but I’m a fantastic Coach customer, and I deserve what I expect. Even if I have to head to different boutiques around my state.

Oh my gosh, I’m so angry.

At least now I know when to expect it, and I won’t be watching the window, but it’s still so frustrating. Next Wednesday!!!

The countdown’s on!
