Bucket style with rope handles?

[powderpuff100]

Hate the rope handle on the bag, shoes okay, LOVE the dress.

I actually like the style of the bag, but with the stains we already get on handles, rope handles are so not happening!! Those would get so destroyed and look icky

The shoes are okay too.. gotta see em on I think

i'm oddly attracted to this as a summer vacation bag...

Love the dress! Very cute...not feeling the bag though, the rope is kinda yucky IMO

the dress is amazing. if i was very wealthy, of course i would pick up the bag. but, since i'm not, it's a pass.

The Dress is nice, but not for that amount of $$$$!!!
And the rope?!?! Ummmmmm, not for me!!

I think that it is really artistic. Almost like how runway fashion is much more artistic that what you would actually wear in real life, usually, anyway.

I think that the color is Sahara though, which means... YUMMMYYYY!

Not good vibes at all coming my way, the gladiator flats remind me of a pair of sandles I was forced to wear in grade 2. I get hives just thinking about it...

Is that a Bal catalog? Do you have to call BalNY to get on the mailing list? It's all so gorgeous.

I like the gladiator shoes - the ones the model has on, now that's a different kettle of fish (marine alusion to the ropey boating look of the bag). Two step and I'd probably tip over...

I like the bag, but not enough to buy it.
I love the sandals, the colors are so summery!

Balenciaga needs to get a grip. Sometimes it just gets tired to put that trademark hardware on every shape...

Balenciaga offers a lot of other styles of bags that do not have the moto hardware. Check balenciaga.com

You are all quite welcome for the photos! I had to stay away from the computer since Friday, so I could get some much needed Christmas shopping done! The photos are from a Barneys New York Catalog called Resort Collections 2008, so that kinda justifies the vacation look of the items. I honestly could not imagine what kind of money it takes to be able to justify a $3,495 floral summer dress! Maybe I'm fooling myself, but I think even if I had that kind of doe I would still be hard pressed to spend that kind of money on a casual dress like that. I called Barney's in Beverly Hills, because Bal was closed in NYC when I made the call, but they did not have measurements for the bucket. If I find a moment I will call Bal and see if they have any info on the bag. I do love the shape if it was sans the GH and sans the rope!
