^^^ I know! I had trouble sleeping because I was so excited about the upcoming f/w colors.
I hope that another more tech-savvy tpfer will post spy pics soon. Ruiruiwinter... come to our rescue!!
If not, I'll pay the store another visit and get some more info from the buyer about the other colors and pics. Sorry... there were so many that I just focused on a few.

The intrigue in this thread just keeps getting more and more intense! We're like drug addicts - spring colors has barely hit and we're already twitching and wanting more!
LMAO!
TPF where your addictions are encouraged! IMO the F/W colors sound a lot more exciting than the S/S colors. I kind of fell like the S/S colors weren't that well received/didn't create a lot of buzz. The F/W colors so far sound a lot more vibrant & fun which I think people tend to expect from Bal.
i agree with you pixiesjenna -- the spring colours were kind of a let down -- there are a few beauties in there, but for the most part the whole collection just was a bit flat in terms of colour pallet. personally nothing in the spring collection got me excited. but fall -- wow i haven't even seen swatches and i'm already starting to think of what to purge from my collection so i can add some new fall colours to it!
Loving the intel for the FW collection! Nothing from SS sparked my interest, but a gorgy purple, pink, and darker galet? Count me in!
riry what a great info! I got the pics of FW 2011 bags. but again, I'm asked not to share it... 
to bad... but I second what riry said... Papyrus is so very pretty!! at the swatch I didn't pay much attention to this color since I got galet. But when I saw the pic of the rggh city bag, my heart is meltiiing... I didn't see to much grey in it though (not as strong as galet). in my monitor it looks more like something in the middle of sahara and seigle with grey undertone. 
coquelicot is impressive too. I asked him, is it similar to ruby, rouge vif, coral or any other red color? My SA told me it looks like rouge vif. I don't know if he is right or not. He predicted this color will the biggest hit.
I'm personally not too impressed with paon though. it looks almost identical to cyclade in my monitor. Just a little bit brighter. Not a french blue like what I expected in the swatch. But if it does come with GGH, Wow, now I'm tempted. (ooh nooo!)
the bleu lavande is similar to outremer in my monitor. But lavande is more purple than blue. Outremer is more blue than purple. but they look too similar in my monitor. I hope it is prettier in real life. I think the purple-blue bag in here is lavande.

Ooh, The coquelicot bags I see similar to the bright red in the picture there. But I keep hoping it's just a pictures and irl coquelicot would be darker like the darker red there.
Unfortunately, I didn't get to see any pics of cyclamen and champagne but I also saw some very very bright lizard printed bags. I saw a very neonish lizard printed bags in orange, yellow, apple green, pink, and blue.
oooh, I'm just so excited for FW 2011!!!

Usually, the colors of the bags mirror the colors used in the clothes. As such, it would appear as though the Coquelicot is a deep Red (almost looks like a Brick Red .. but that could be my monitor).
Definitely a much richer palette than the S/S colors - YAHOO!

I think the "lizard" bags are the same treatment as the special 10th Anniversary bags that NM had, but done in really bright, sort of neon colors. I heard they were actually pretty cute when you saw the bags in person.
i saw my beloved & much anticipated *Congac* in London at the weekend, it was in the shape of a papier tote & IMO pretty awful, far from the gorgeous carmel shade in the Riva pix, it is yet another brown ~ this time with red undertones 
So i just don't know where this *carmel* colour fits in or maybe the Riva pix are not colour true ?? i wasn't impressed with any of the new colours for S/S, i thought VR was particularly horrific (sorry!). So to cheer myself up i bought this little fella
