Ghostie now you've got me looking at the briefs. I saw that thread you started. I had no idea that they were that big though. I do remember reading somewhere that they were a bit hard to get into because the opening was small. We're going to Vegas in 3 weeks so I'll have to go try one on and see. I do think it looks good with the GH though.

I wonder if it is too big for me??? The Vegas store is nice and ask for Carol. If she is working

. Hmmmm to ponder to ponder....Brief is 13x18x5! City =10"h x 15"w x 4"d, and the Part time is 9"h x 16.5"w x 6"d.

^^^now I'm really curious to try one on. I always thought the city looked bigger in pics until I got one and thought it was smaller than expected. I'll give you the scoop! I love the pic of Cameron Diaz with that white GGH brief!

Ghost, I'm a shortie (just under 5'3 approx 115 lbs) and i think the Brief is not as big as i thought it was going to be. I find it easy to carry and I actually get a lot of compliment when i talk my cafe ggh brief out. Pics posted in the Brief clubhouse.

one question:
does all giant part time ( like the one of vanessa hudgens) fit on the shoulder with the short handles?? or only if you have small arms and shoulders?

Sounds like you had a great weekend!!! I think the brief is going to be on my watch list from now on. I love the brief thread. I have been seriously stalking it for the last 2 days!

Ghost55 · Nov 4th, 2009, 09:28 AM

^^ Have a wonderful time red!!!

I am home sick...ugh. Migraine all night long and then the body aches = no sleep for me in addition to having a 2 year old who paddles out of bed 3 times throughout the night.

Have fun for me Red!!!

redskater · Nov 4th, 2009, 01:49 PM

^^oh no, I am so sorry to hear that, hope it's not the flu! Migraines are another nightmare altogether. Your 3 year old sounds like me! ah, the really young and the really old!
get better my friend!

Welcome! You will probably find there is no going back!

All of Bal's colors come out once, but some are sort of repeated. The one you fell for is an Apple Green City from Spring 2005. The large one is called a Work, and in addition to being larger than the City, it hasn't got the detachable shoulder strap. This is a sought after color, and can get quite pricey from re-sale when in excellent condition.

I do think the quest for past season's bags is part of what make us all so obsessed. So enjoy!
