Ahh, Balenciaga…
As alluded to previously, I Balenciaga bags. I can’t quite remember when this love affair started, but it was first consummated in about 2003 with this beauty:
That said, my love affair is pretty restricted to the bags. Although there is the occasional item of clothing that leaves me drooling, there are quite a few that give me pause… Though if you can get away with this C3PO look, more power to you. It’s also hard to imagine on which occasion these shoes would come in handy, unless you were like, I don’t know, Rainbow Brite’s crunchy-fashionista cousin.
At any rate, my love for their yummy bags has not diminished, therefore, here are a few of the current ones that I’ve been dreaming of…
Totally digging the hobo with the big hardware. I’d love it in black, or maybe purple…
Also love the round bag in Pine from Fall 2007.
Love the shape, love the color, love the hardware!
This color is so rich and it would go with everything I own, but not as wild about the style (and as we know I already have a blue one, can”t be too crazy now, can I?!)
And then, ehem, there’s my new baby:
Yeah, I did it and I couldn’t be happier. It holds everything – computer, book, and all the myriad crap that I accumulate and lug around all over the city – and I wonder why I have neck and back problems!
