Its actually matte – colo is deceptive. It is listed as a brown by chanel but it has pink tones and is a bit taupe as well. Will try to send pic.
larkie on said:
^ohhh i haven’t seen it, but it sounds lovely. is it metallic or matte? i think if it’s heavy on the taupe side it could be a good neutral bag. if you have a pic please send it to me as i’d love to see what it looks like!

Have you seen the new reissue in the pinky taupe color with dark hardware? Do u think its versatile enough to use all the time?
larkie on said:
^i think you are correct that the medium cam bag does not have the key chain strap inside. i don’t have one here with me to check for you, but i’m pretty certain only the large came with it. have you posted the question at tpf? i’m sure someone there would know!

hi! was pondering a resale chanel reissue black medium size camera bag and wanted to make sure it did not come with the key chain strap inside, did it? i have the large in grey and that does have the key chain strap. Love some help – really enjoying your travels and the “chase” for the bags. hee hee

are you wearing the j12 in the odj series – in black and white? also which one is it? any diamonds? just on numerals or all around bezel? it looks very pretty – i have been admiring the watch for awhile (several years) and thinking its time to plunge in and buy but cant decide which one and how much bling…..love some advice!

What size are you wearing in the stella M military jacket?
larkie on said:
^hi, the matte gold (looks sorta bronze) 2.55 is a medium/226 size.
i’m not crazy about the mademoiselle collection in general b/c of the shape.

Wondering is your bronze 2.55 a medium size? Also what do you think of he mademoiselle bag? I’m liking the Byzantine chain but from last season but not classic chain this season. Thoughts?

Jill! i’m so thrilled she did a good job for you. i’ll be seeing her soon with the skirts i recently bought. she’s definitely my secret weapon!!

Hi Larkie! I just had to thank you for your suggestion of Virgine to tailor my vintage Chanel. It now fits perfectly! I told her that you recommended her. She was very flattered. She loves you!
larkie on said:
hi Jill! i would highly recommend calling the alterations dept at Nordstrom Topanga (woodland hills, ca) and booking an appointment with Virgine. She’s altered so many of my Chanel pieces wonderfully. On more complicated items it may take a couple of fittings, but she has never ever disappointed me. Good luck!

Hi Larkie,
I saw you on Purse Forum and your blog. Great photos of Paris! I used to live in France, and I also used to be an attorney (criminal prosecutor). I’m new to tpf, but Another girl on tpf said you had an amazing seamstress in the LA area that saved her Chanel jacket. I am buying a vintage Chanel that is 2-3 sizes too big for me, and I need someone great for tailoring. Can you pass along your tailor’s info? Thanks!

Hi Kat! I would say that I’m a true 34 in Chanel RTW, but sometimes can alter a 36 when desperate! With some sweaters I can wear a 36 without alterations. I’m 5’3 on my driver’s license (we round up, haha) and my weight is around 41kg except during holiday season when I seem to gobble whatever sweets I’m supposed to leave for Santa!!
Kat on said:
Hi Larkie,
I love all your Chanel RTW!!! I was wondering what size you usually wear for the tweed jackets and cardigans? I think we might be around the same size (but you are probably thinner). I am 5’2 and between 44.5 – 46kgs.
Thanks!

Hi Shannon, thanks for your note!! For skincare, I have been using La Mer products for over a decade now. But if I were to give any advice, it would be to always go to bed with a clean, moisturized face and always go out with sunblock, rain or shine. For hair, I like to use Aveda shampoos and conditioners for colored hair. Makeup, I use MAC, Lancome, and L’Oreal. HTH!!
PS: i’m glad you left a message here. I totally forgot that I had this page earmarked on my blog. I wanted to set up a Q&A column here. Will try to work on getting this segment out this summer

Hi Larkie,
I’ve been following your outfits for a few years and I must tell you that you have fabulous style. I was wondering if you would share some of your secrets with me…especially your skincare products, hair products, and make up products. We have very similar skintones and hair color and type. I hope to hear from you soon.
