BALENCIAGA HANDBAGS & PURSES

Rarely do I ever speak poorly of a bag designed by my beloved Balenciaga, but the Balenciaga City Bag that former Pussycat Doll and Dancing with the Stars alum Nicole Scherzinger is just not doing anything for me.

Where do I even start? The shiny gold hardware, the striped linen instead of leather…the design simply doesn’t have the things that normally make me love Balenciaga’s motorcycle bags so much. Not only that, but sending an expensive, lightly colored cloth bag through airport security seems like a terrible choice.

Luckily her boyfriend, Forumla 1 champion Lewis Hamilton, has some eye candy for all of us bag lovers in the form of a black taiga Louis Vuitton Anton Satchel. At least one of them has good taste in bags!

Moving to NYC will ensure an easy in-person shopping experience for just about every item I want to check out. It doesn’t mean I will stop online shopping, but I will have the fashion world at my finger tips. Don’t get me wrong, South Florida is filled with amazing shopping, like our hangout Bal Harbour Shops, but we all know it is not the same as NYC.

I desperately need Balenciaga bags store next to me because their colors are haunting me. I can not seem to find the perfect color and much of that is because I am not seeing the bags in person. You all followed my recent Balenciaga purchase and return. The color Seigle just didn’t do it for me. And now my hunt continues.

I am not hitting the checkout button just yet, but I am really digging the Balenciaga Giant City in Murier.You know what will hold me back from buying this bag? My last online shopping experience. Like I said above, understanding a Balenciaga color without seeing it in person is like getting an A+ on a pop quiz that you weren’t in class for: not going to happen. When I visited Balenciaga online today I thought this color was a pinkish purple. But when I looked up the fall 2010 color chart that we have, it looks only purple with no pink.

I don’t want a true purple, I want a purple-y pink bag. I feel like it is time for me to go sit in some leather tannery and create colors myself because I might be getting a tad bit picky. The true color of Murier can only be known when you see it in person I am hoping to see it in person and maybe, just maybe, it might be what I am looking for. Via Balenciaga handbags for $1,795.

Do any of you own or have you seen the color Murier in person? What did you think?

As with a lot of tween sensations as of late, I’ve begun to wonder what’s happened with Vanessa Hudgens. We haven’t seen her around much, but as far as I know, she’s still dating Zac Efron (or being his beard, whichever version story you prefer) and working on projects that don’t interest me in the least. The more things change, the more they stay the same, eh?

What I am interested in, however, are her outfits. Since she’s young, thin and naturally adorable, she looks great in almost anything, but she also has a bit of a knack for picking pieces that I like. Not only is her Balenciaga Giant City Bag right up my alley, but her flowing tunic and belt look so comfortable that I want to go right out and recreate this outfit to the best of my ability today.
