Thanks, Chrissy!

Caroule, the purple will look great on you! It's strange but I think purple can be very wearable, especially the darker shades. It's like black but with an extra zing..you give me the impression that you wear black, grays and whites a lot so the purple clutch will definitely fit well into your closet!

^Thank you! I will try to make it work, but I am not sold currently.

 

[caroulemapoule]

I ended up selling Miss Violet in case anyone wondered

I received this wonderful darling today:

Caroule..congrats!
I wonder is the strap long enough to wear across the body?

 

[caroulemapoule]

^It is! It fits perfectly across too!

congrats caroule,

i took out my magenta city yesterday and realised ONCE AGAIN why i love my balenciaga bags so much
just so darn practical and easy!

 

[ChrissyM]

i switched all my stuff over to my vert d'eau city yesterday as well..

i love the bright colors this time of year...
such a great size...
not too big, not too small...

 

[kimair]

i can't wait until the fall colors come out...i've been thinking about a raisin part time...

 

[caroulemapoule]

^ The neo classic bags are gorgeous. I can't say I'm a fan of the patchwork though.

 

[ChrissyM]

^^you took the words right out of my mouth

not a fan of the patchwork at all...
reminds me of something Coach would do...

the neo classic is quite nice though...
but the solid color works best...
the zig zag is just.. ehhh... ok, not great...

 

[Street_a_Licious]

oh! nice!

more awful patchwork Balenciagas to run my mouth about!

seeing how those bags finance the whole Balenciaga house, they should really be more careful about the stuff they put out.

 

[kimair]

yea, definitely not a fan of the patchwork bags or the woven bags that are out right now...

A couple recent purchases...

09 Praline Courier
09 Automne Courier
(photos taken outside in nautral lighting)

 

[Street_a_Licious]

nice! the Pralines i see were so flat but yours is so veiny, it looks embossed!

how do you wear your Couriers? i can't decide to either wear it crossbody (pretty much a joke with the short strap) or on my shoulder (where it keeps on slipping, since the leather is so smooth).

:/

 

[caroulemapoule]

Ciao bella: Gorgeous! I love the praline one!

 

[ChrissyM]

agreed.. the praline is fantastic...

i haven't seen praline IRL but all the pics that i've seen in here have been lovely...

 

[kimair]

ciao...those are sooo gorgeous!!
you have a thing for couriers, huh?
