What colour is that first? It's a gorgeous BLUE... Wonder if Canard will be a darker sibling of that?

That's 2005 Indigo, one of my favourite Bal colours

I think Canard will be much darker than that...almost like 08 Marine...

I seriously can't wait for the new colors to hit the stores. My friend is flying to London during the 3rd week of Nov and I'm praying hard that the 2010 Pre S/S colors are out so that she can bring it back for me. Otherwise I've to get it from Erica.

Decision time - cyclade twiggy or outremer twiggy? I've been struggling over these 2 colors since they made their appearance and I'm still stuck. any help? I have a Sanguine GSH City and an anthracite twiggy. And 90% will get canard GSH day next year.

BTW, MichK did you pre-order anything from Erica?

I have pre-ordered too many things! I do this every time... SIGH! I can't decide until I've seen the colours. At the moment, I'm down for either a Papete or Cyclade CP, an Olive First, an Olive Pencil, a Sang City and a Mustard Mini Mini. UGH.

pixielogue, I think Cyclade offers a better contrast to what you have in your collection... but it's all a matter of which blue you prefer - something striking and deep, or something soothing?

pompom
coin purse (RH, GH)
pencil (RH, GH)
make up

and any other items..... don't mind sending out the list after I'm done. thanks so much

Wow, nice choices. Seems like everyone's got their eye on Mustard except me. Just not feeling the love at all...

You have a Men's Day right? Do you have a Day too? Got my eye on the Charbon Day that Erica has now. How do the two compare?

Yup, I had an 05 Taupe Men's Day... fabulous leather and a great cross-body style BUT I didn't like the chunky strap - too heavy. The new Men's Day looks more promising, with a softer, adjustable strap. The Charbon at Erica's is a Men's Day, right? I have a Day too - that's a great bag, easy to wear on the shoulder. But the Men's Day can be worn cross-body. Both are about the same size.

Yup. It's a Men's Day. And it's a grey-ish Charbon, compared to the brown Charbon that I already have. That's why I was thinking about it.

Just realised you changed your signature. Does that mean you got your Oval? If so, congrats!!!

Shall keep an eye out for the black PH MU for you. Hehe.

Default Sanguine Flap Mod Pic
Here's one... FINALLY...

There's a total of 6 holes on the strap. This is on the third last hole. Each hole is perhaps 2 - 3 cm away from each other. I don't wear it on the last hole, because I find that when the bag is too empty, it tends to slide off my shoulder...

I'm about 1.68m, so you can gauge. Apologies for the messy room...

Also included are pics of my Sanguine Flap, with and without flash. I simply adore the leather. It's so nice and buttery and soft.
