New Balenciaga

I'm rushing around like a crazy person to get ready for a week in the sun.  I can't find anything in this house.  We had a flood in the summer and all my stuff went to storage.  We're just building ourselves out of that flood now with the basement of the house getting finished and so all my stuff is split between the storage space and the basement.  Ugh.  Try finding the one beach sandals you really want right now.  And it's not like I can go to the store to buy some new ones.  I live in Canada.  It's -25 degrees Celsius today.  If I went to a sales person and asked her for some pretty sandals, she'd probably spit in my eye!

Sigh.

Order.  My 2010 resolution is for order.  Sadly, it's been my resolution for well over 15 years.  I still don't have any!

Having kids definitely did not help with that "order" thing.

Oh well, I have this to smile about.  New Balenciaga.

Balenciaga has like 6-7 bag styles:  The Giant City, the City, the Part Time Giant City, the First, the Motorcycle Dix and their larger Weekend and Day bags.


They repeat those styles over and over again in like every colour under the sun and then add a pattern to those colours.  Personally, I can never some of the styles apart and have to do some serious investigation to ascertain which one is which.  I know that sounds bad but trust me when I say that it gets CONFUSING fast.



Here is are some more styles in that same two toned black leather and grey fabric combo.  I know it's very business-y looking but it's smart and sexy at the same time.


Balenciaga leather is awesome and somewhat unique. It's very supple and because it's lambskin, it's a thinner, paper-y leather, not the usual thicker calf or cow leather, and therefore gets that distressed (wrinkled) look.  Despite being thin, it is very strong leather and due to the same thinness, the bags are quite slouchy.   

I am currently using the Balenciaga Giant City in grey and I have to tell you I love it.  It's a very large bag (and so I'd recommend a Giant City Part Time to other people) and it's very durable.  Like I have said several times, I load everything I can into a bag.  This bag can definitely hold it and hold it well, i.e., not break.

Empty the Giant City looks awesome because it becomes very slouchy and very sexy.  It goes with every single outfit from a pair of old jeans and Uggs to dressed in a business suit and ready to take on a boardroom.

It is a youthful look and so Balenciaga bags are good for just about any girl, lady and woman.

Happy Shopping...soon.  Shopping cart is coming along.  There are over a 1,000 products now on the site.  Whew!
