OHH you're just such a babe.
Thanks much for the bags - looked them all up, didn't really dig any of em! Guh, I didn't know I was this picky!
Joy's Choo - I don't like the jewels - reminds me of grade school art projects!

I want a mix of bling bling, but also kind of badass.
B)

How about some Givenchy?

For the mix of bling bling + badass, I would get a plain black bag (BB, Givenchy, Chanel) and jazz it up with bling bling charms and accessories, depending on my mood so I can get different looks whenever, wherever! Simple black bags for a first are also more classic and lasting

Hmm, I HAVE always liked the nightingale, and I can see what you mean about spicing that bag up - it is kind of like a blank canvas...


ps: My bag seems to be stuck in Vancouver!
Maybe it's part of the Olympics!
Oh I'd be such a proud mama!

 

[KatInBoots]

OH!
SO jealous! Leather looks great
Though I want one in GSH




Thinkin about selling it?
Maybe?
Yes?

Wow, I'm a dummy.
I FORGOT which hardware I'd prefer in the anthra
haha it IS the GGH that I WANT!
duuuhhhrrrrr

malena - you are the bal expert here, imho. you have a very keen eye. i am inundated with fashion day in, day out, and get bored of looking at details so closely. if you say the stitching/bales are off, i believe you.

I do know a thing or two about RH bags and stitching , but I honestly have no clue about GH bags. If you PM me your email I can send you pics of the stitching and bales so you'll know what I mean

Talking about the bracelet, the authentic one cost is $185 while T&D charges $38. I need to think about that since stitches are extremely important here. I sure don't want to wear something with sloppy stitches on my wrist.

NBF stitches are not sloppy at all, they're just a bit different, but only a trained eye can notice the difference if not pointed out to them, so you have no reason to worry, just get them

Chupi, thank you so much for the mod pic, the bag looks fab on you, I love it and I actually ordered one as well, cannot wait to get it so I can rock it like you do

 

[bagalicious]

chupi and crystal congratulations on your new bags.
Loved by chanel- You're welcome..hope the info answered your question.

A good description of Bal reds i found from the purse forum:from a member who has them

Sang has a slight orange undertone and also some brown in it - not really a true blue red.
Pourpre is more of a cranberry with pink undertones. Pretty but not a true red.
Coral has orange undertones.
RT and VIF are true reds with RT being the deeper color.
Ruby is a nice red. Not too bright or too deep. A perfect description for it is the color of fruit punch.

Hello ladies!First of all I would like to thank dear Bagalicious for the invitation
and secondly I'd like to tell you that I am very happy to join you here!
As for the "alexa" the truth is that I wanted an alternative to my NBFs,
but I found out that beside the"upside down trees" the style is not very
functional,for me at least.

 

[luisa]

welcome Alkistis

i just ordered my first every rep at catty: a mini chanel
now, i am super scared that it'll come to customs, because here it is not allowed to buy counterfeit. what should i say? that it is authentic?

to all the GH falling off: i have an authentic day (red) with GH and one fell off after i wore it twice!!! thank good i got the HW, though. i still have to fix this

LOVE my T&D Officier Twiggy

Received my T&D Officier Twiggy (& some other goodies) last night - took a pic this morning w/ natural light + flash - its a winter wonder land today.

The Officier leather is so supple - has a slight odor, but not noticeable - I am confident it will fade soon by carrying it with me eveywhere

I tried to post to TFS the other day & had to re-confirm my email - I'm back to post #2, its ok with me though. I enjoy reading everyones posts & reading everyones reviews. you guys rock! Especially Coco for sharing her bags w/ the rest of us.

pics by myself

I guess that It's forbidden everywhere? I'm a bit nervous, too. Hopefully they won't open the package



Where do you live If you don't mind me asking?






Hi Alkistis

 

[Chupi]

How about getting one in black with silver studs Ladylux? Then it wouldn't be identical to your boss's so harder to notice it's not authentic?

Malens *seriously embarassed* thank you! It's a great bag because even if I'm not looking hot the bag does!

Thanks bagalicious and lipgloss junkie for the niceness I made the necklace with a piece of turquoise and a gold chain, simple

Alkistis: Welcome to the Fashion Spot.
I am sorry that Mulberry Alexa has not worked for you. Hopefully you can find something else from Mulberry that will be to your liking.
I too wanted an alternative to my Bal Bags and she has worked out fine for me. I have an Authentic Mulberry Alexa Oversized and I do love her so.I have even learned how to get stuff out of the bag throught the side without even opening the Postman lock. I don't find it fiddly at all. I have become a Mulberry convert. I have two reps - Antony Messenger Navy and Bayswater Oak. I will be getting an Ink Rep Alexa from Jacky once he has them available. I plan on having a wardrobe of Alexa's from Jacky. Sorry for all who are tired of hearing about Alexa but I actually her.

germany

i think it is not the same everywhere. in the us, e.g., it is forbidden to sell counterfeits as authentic. when it is clear that it is a replica, there won't be a problem (others please correct if i'm wrong)
when you ordered a balenciaga bag, i don't think you will have a problem. first you pay quite some money, so it could be an authentic (at least for the epople who work at customs and don't know much about fashion). second: they prolly don't know balenciaga anyway

buti ordered a chanel mini flap, which wasn't expensive (about 60$) and they for sure know chanel .

Blair Warner: Congrats on your Officier Twiggy! The leather looks lovely.
The officier color will look so great with black and grey now and then in the summer with White. Congrats!

That's what I'm hoping for B)



I hope everything goes smooth with your order Let us know when you get it.

Thanks for the welcoming coco and luisa!
How do you manage to do this coco?
I mean it is definetely a hassle to lock and unlock...
it should have a zipper at the back so you could
have a quick access to keys and self phone at least.

 

[theprettycat]

I just asked T&D for an Outremer first!
Super excited as I LOVE the color.
I also LOVE the first size but I am 5'8 and I hope I myself won't overwhelm the bag , what do you girls think?

Alkistis: I found her a bit of a faff to get in and out of with all the flaps, but after using her for two weeks I am used to it now. Have even learned to stuff my hands down the gaps at the sides to rummage around for keys/phones etc. Don't even need to undo the straps on the side to do that. I sometimes just undo one strap and stick my hand down the side without any problem. It is easy for me no problems at all. I have gotten used to her and don't find her bothersome/fiddly at all.

I had some woman look at my Alexa once, then again and then again really obviously. It was so funny!
