Yep, I do tend to get kind of obsessive! LOL! (I only have 7 Stams, but it I get the Petrol someday and the chocolate patchwork...that would be 9!! It's a sickness!) I really like my L.A.M.B. bags and they aren't so precious that I feel nervous about carrying them when I am commuting back and forth to work. It is a real trek going from car to train to subway, etc. I sometimes hate to take my MJ's because they get knocked around. The L.A.M.B.'s are mostly coated canvas (except for the second photo, which are lambskin) and they are really sturdy.

I do want a black Heloise, but I am trying to be really good. I am putting some new flooring in our home and some other stuff around here, so my handbag fund is a little low right now. Hopefully, I will be able to find one when the time comes. If now, I guess I will just have to lust after yours!

I had to resurrect this thread because like the title said...SO SORRY MARC, I CHEATED TODAY!!! Nothing good comes out of "window shopping." I went to the stores today and look at what I came home with...

I am such a purple nut!!! The color of this bag is so hard to capture but I'd say it's pretty similar to my purple Cecilia...

Anyway, just wanted to share with my MJ girls...even if this new addition is not an MJ (hey, I know all of us have cheated at some point...)

^ damn girl! Balenciaga....score! I'm totally on board with your purple passion!
LOVE it!

Wow, you are a purple nut! Gorgeous color!! I think Marc would forgive you for that.

(Although, I thought you were saving for fall. . ..)

^Thanks Kara! Glad you approve.

And thanks girls for not hating me . Mommyroo (yes, I read your other thread!), I am saving for fall...this is from my hubby, he just doesn't know yet that he bought me a new bag! Haha.

Hey Kim, I just posted it on the Bal forum and apparently, it is an 08 Sapphire. I am clueless when it comes to non-MJ's. I got it at NM in SF...of course I had to stop by today when they just got it this morning!

It's crazy because they had a grey one too which was so tempting as well...it really reminded me of the small Cecilia dilemma...

I didn't know that Sapphire was out already!!

Congrats!! I love this color.... I've got the Step in Violet and I always get compliments when I wear it.

OMG! That is most DEFINITELY a bag worth cheating for!! I cheated with Balenciaga 3x and I'd do it again if the right color came along! Congrats!

That is one hot sapphire. wow....

Holy Guacamole!!! That's a fabulous bag!! What an amazing shade of purple!!
