CoCo Chanel Says...

In Honour of the newest addition to my Vinyl Toys collection - Chanel Bear by Coi & Oli Bears - I leave you with a few "deep thoughts" from Coco Chanel, herself.

================
-Don't spend time beating on a wall, hoping to transform it into a door.

-Elegance is not the prerogative of those who have just escaped from adolescence, but of those who have already taken possession of their future.

-Fashion fades, only style remains the same.

-Great loves too must be endured.

-Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it is not luxury.

-There are people who have money and people who are rich.

-The most courageous act is still to think for yourself. Aloud.
================

This Premium Coi & Oli CHANEL Bear is acquired by purchasing Special Limited Edition Copies of the Coco Chanel DVD. I got mine here in Taiwan, am not sure if they were offered anywhere else.

Coi + Oli Bear X 7-11 Slurpee

Introduced at last July's Taipei Toy Festival - these 3 New Premium Bears are available starting now through 7-11 Shops Only. Now, a bit of INFO on how to get them... it isn't as EASY as buying them or collecting stickers from one's purchases, in order to REDEEM them... one actually has to be in the mood for a SLURPEE (the HOT weather
is agreeing enough to crave these brain freezing concoctions!)... and you will be given a chance to DRAW a card that would either entitle you to a discount or a FREE SLURPEE Coi + Oli Bear...

Not sure how long the Program is for - but I do sure hope they turn up on Taiwan's Yahoo Auction - am sure that will end up being much cheaper (and less Painful to the Brain!) way to acquire these cuties!!!

Coach Again!

Parker Joins Penelope!!! As I got the 2nd figure offered through the Marie Claire Magazine... Now all I need is Katy & Zoe... God Only knows where I might find them though - as I cannot find info anywhere telling me where to look... boo hoo.... Still am quite HAPPY as now I have three, including the COACH EVENT SPECIAL - as I Previously Blogged..
The Line Up. One is a MYSTERY design.

What a TREAT!!!

Just got home from dinner with the gals (Juliana, Sue & Cecilia -- David, too!) and am soooo ecstatic.... Sue & Cecila gifted me with this SPECIAL bear issued for COACH, Taiwan...
Only yesterday, while at the bookstore, I came across an issue of Marie Claire with a FREE GIFT of the same bear but in a different style... it seems for the magazine there were 4 styles issued (3 pictured and 1 a MYSTERY surprise) -- randomly, one accompanies each issue sold.... and as an added BONUS, this particular issue has my FAVE Taiwanese Actress, Shu Qi on the cover!!! The one I got from the Marie Claire issue I purchased.

It seems, earlier today happened to be COACH's VIP Fashion Show as well, which the gals attended... at the show, there was also a VIP SALE in which, with a purchase of NT$20,000 (about $600US) you are GIFTED the SPECIAL Bear made just for the event... and since Sue & Cecilia are such Coach fanatics, they were able to get 3with their total purchases... and tonite over dinner, am LUCKY enough to be gifted of one of them!!!Thanks Again Sue & Cecilia!!!
