For some reason I haven't seen this thread until now... I have been thinking "why on earth haven't CeeJay made a collection thread?!" but you did a zillion years ago and I must have been blind:laugh:

I'm not sure what to say other than WOW!!! I knew you had a fantastic collection, but to actually see all your goodies (an ex-goodies) is simply amazing:woohoo: Only thing I missed is a mod pic or two, hopefully you'll share that with us sometime!

Aw .. *P&P* .. thank you so much; that's a great compliment coming from you!! I just love your blog, wish I had the time to do something like that (although it would be heavy on the Jewelry & Handbags!).

Finally! .. some updates to the thread!!!

In 2005 (Pre-Spring collection), Balenciaga created a color called "Dolma" .. which was a nice medium Olive color (not as much of a yellow undertone as the 2004 Khaki).

In 2008 S/S, Balenciaga introduced a similar colored called "Vert Thyme" (Sage Green). Even though these 2 colors were introduced many years/seasons apart, the colors are so close .. that one would think that they are the same!

'Lo & behold .. my '08 Vert Thyme City with the '05 Dolma Boobie (both still in the collection!):

sorry for the dark picture! ...

Staying in the Green family, I'm not usually inclined to carry a Green bag as it's not a color that I normally wear. However, when I saw this 2010 Cypress RGGH Part-Time, I thought .. "well, need to get some MORE green in my wardrobe!!!" Still in the collection ...

This bag also has fab leather .. check it out!

Living in a colder climate, means that you generally have 2 wardrobes .. "cold" weather clothes/colors and "warm" weather clothes/colors.

Certain colors (like Red), I wear all year long .. but Turquoise (which I also love) is one of those colors that (for me) .. really fits into the "warm" seasons (especially if you have a Tan!).

When I saw this bag, I just fell in love with the color .. and the leather was just superb! A 2011 Bleu Paon GSH City (alas - no longer in the collection):

Some more oldies .. I've always loved my GGH bags (yeah - I guess I'm more of a bling-a-ding-ding gal than not!). Anyhow, when I saw this combo .. and especially the chewy/distressed leather on this baby .. HAD TO HAVE IT!!! A 2008 Sky Blue GGH Part-Time; still in the collection!!

A fairly recent addition to the collection .. a 2011 Dark Knight RGGH Part-Time. While I'm not opposed to the new mini-Giant HW, I must say that I will miss the 'real' Giant HW and sincerely hope that Balenciaga re-thinks its elimination!

The leather texture of the City seems so chewy! Amazing....
