Here's a picture of my cement/greige bag. I posted it in the new bag purchases thread almost over a week ago and I forgot to post it here. So, here it is (again)!

So pretty!!

Seahorse, it looks absolutly gorgeous!! May I ask how tall you are? I've been thinking of getting a weekender but I think it would look too big on me.

thank u
i'm 5'4" and 85 lbs...
i have the city, but i think it's not enough for my needs now, so i go for the weekender rather than the work, because i figured the size difference is not too significant
i hope you'll get a weekender! you'll love it

 

[Jellylicious]

I think the weekender is ginormous for me. i'm almost 5' 6" and 105lbs...it was very overwhelming. The work, however, is perfect!

None of the brand name stores such as Fendi, Balenciaga, Gucci, Marc Jacobs, Chloe....I could go on and on give refunds. Only store credits. That is why I only buy from department stores now. Sorry.

 

[glamourbebe]

[glamourbebe]

So if anyone's interest, go check them out! They also have Premier Designer Brands like Gucci, Prada, Dior, Chloe, Fendi & MORE on SALE!!!!!

[glamourbebe]

Neimans have the Motorcycle city from Holiday Collection 05/06 on Sale:

I dont quite remember all the colors, but I think I saw the following on sale:
Naturale
Olive/Khaki
Cornflower

I also see the other style of Balenciaga on sale.. the one that Lindsay Lohan has... hmmm if u donno what i'm talking about I'll try to find a picture of it!

 

[glamourbebe]

btw, they are roughly 30% off the original price

 

[kimair]

so it's only the pony hair bags that are on sale?

 

[leyla m.]

i so want my bag im gonna scream

 

[aspen]

I called the NM SF. Its the pony hair in the day, hobo and she said another style. Also the Hook bags, mostly the larger sizes. The Ring bag (which one is that)?

If I didn't already spent to much on bags recently I would consider getting another Hook.

Vert'deau / Seagreen:
View attachment 259766

There's a whole thread on the purseblog forum (That's where i got the pic from!) with pics of some of the new colors. Seems like BalNY got some shipment in!

Overall I'm less than thrilled with the seagreen color, and that horrid gold hardware. I'm hoping it's more seafoam and less pistachio in real life, otherwise my wallet will be happy

 

[nat_attak]

Hi balenciaga lovers. Members from tPF posted their pictures they took from BalNY this morning and i thought why not share right? [Pics from powderpuff100 & cuteusername.]

1.marine
2.naturel
3.red vermilion
4.truffle
5.black? or cafe?
6.reg. hardware red vermilion

 

[nat_attak]

i was really looking forward to the giant hardware but after seeing these pictures i'm not sure they are for me. the gold is very bright and i don't know. i guess it looks better on bigger and lighter colored bags. but its' just not me i'm hoping to get the marine is city or day from AR. i can't wait to see the rest of the colors.

 

[aspen]

I love the Marine color. But not with the large hardware. Its good they offer a choice of either hardware.

the ring bags are on sale?
those are the new f/w style bags...i was waiting to see if they went on sale before getting one...
and i was planning on going to neiman's today to do some x-mas shopping...

i am SO not crazy about the "giant" hardware...
but i really love the brief shape...glad i ordered the anthracite...

how do people like the ring bags? I like the shape, but found it very stiff and with suede - that means cleaning might be an issue, no? But i have to say that they look so cool.
