Decisions, Decisions - Should I cheat on Balenciaga?

daisyrockyrosie · Jul 18th, 2008, 02:33 AM

It is always possible to have too much of a good thing. If you have a reasonable balenciaga collection it may be a good idea to get something different every once in a while. I voted for the prada gauffre - I think it is a stunner and personally love it and want one... Good luck with your purchase.

I say go for what you

the most

ahhhh hard choice, something only you can make!!!

My vote goes for the Miu Miu bow! Even though I've got a Day. I got mine about a month ago, but still haven't used it cos I'm waiting for it to be nearer my birthday to bring it out inconspiciously lol. There are two different greys out atm. The one you showed - graphite is dark grey with browny/purple undertones. Astro is a medium grey with no such undertones (that's the one I have and I love it!). The turquoise day is gorgeous though! Let us know what you get

I'd go with the Gauffre. I don't have one but I love Prada. It's the brand I alternate most often with Balenciaga.

Def the 08 turq Day..beautiful color, light,roomy..Bal leather every time!

i voted for the MiuMiu Bow! ive been eyeing this bag too but of course, my priority right now is Bal so i still am not able to get the bow bag hehehe. i just like the fact that it's a satchel and a messenger at the same time =)

What did you think of the NIkki and the leather when you saw it?

I went grey crazy this year and got a charcoal giant silver work & a RM Nikki with silver hardware! They're both beautiful..... but I've been using the work since I got it. I haven't even carried the Nikki once yet.
I think you need a grey bag..... but tough decision.
I vote for the charcoal bal!!!!! :)

Some of the colors have good leather and some don't. I am not really crazy about it. I still prefer the Balenciaga or Prada leather.

bellini · Jul 18th, 2008, 08:06 PM

i'm liking the gauffre in gray!
i have the RM nikki, and i'm still undecided about it. maybe it's the color, but i have another coming to me, so we'll see. somehow the shape is appealing to me more than the day *hides*

I like the way the MiuMiu satchel looks, but I'm not too crazy about the bows. If it didn't have them, I'd have snatched one up a long time ago.

diversity = nice!

Prada leather

Costs, but you'll love it forever!

natalie_palm · Jul 18th, 2008, 11:45 PM

Any pics of the charcoal? I don't think I have seen that... sounds nice!
