Gorgeous!! Thinking of getting one myself.. May I ask what color of clothes you are planning to pair it with? :smile1:

Right now I'm wearing her with a white and royalblue Ralph Lauren dress. I can also pair the color w/white, black, dark blue, the mint/turq family, grey, perhaps burnt orange, etc. Wears well with most of the colors I wear (almost no pinks, reds, yellows, browns).

I finally got my Latte Velo from Cannes yesterday. Personally I love it but I think it's quite a difficult color and you have to see it IRL before you order it. To me it has some green/khaki undertones and not much of a rich and creamy beige I'd expected from just the name "latte". IMO it's more like a mix between camel and papyrus. It's not a warm color ( like p.e. seigle was )
Here is Latte with Papyrus...( on my screen color is quite close to RL )

and here with two of my other velos as well ( Praline and Corde ( Suede, on the floor ), which is pretty similar to Seigle...)

You won't believe it but they're selling the Bal bags on Groupon Hong Kong and looks like unlimited quantities!!
How is this possible? I honestly don't believe it.
Even BV, YSL, MJ etc, etc.....

I went to my local Nordstroms to check out Lagon in person and you guys are right! It is really gorgeous and intense. I brought along my cyclade Velo to compare - and it is indeed a shade lighter.

Cyclade feels more turquoise whereas the Lagon looks more teal - albeit a glowy one, like a gorgeously intense Apatite. The Mangue is pretty - but it is a pretty straightforward canary yellow. I was hoping for a more glowy, orange-yellow closer to jaune.

WOW I should pay more attention to my groupon goods emails lol. I'm surprised that they would sell Bal threw groupon it makes me wonder how groupon goods are acquired(ie: third party distributors possibly?). I'm surprised by how may different designers they have up for sale too. Although they could have been made specifically for groupon goods, I recall reading somewhere that a lot of the sites that sell designer duds at a discount like guilt, billondollarbabes, and other sites who's names I can't think of ATM actually work with the designers and have items specially made for them for sale. It seems odd that all those designers would have wanted to work with groupon, which leads me to believe that they purchased them from 3rd party distributors.

If these are genuine, as I think they are, then this is fantastic for the Bal lovers the world over!!! They look to be offering a few of the most loved Bal combinations, so that's great for people who miss out.

I never even look at my Groupon emails these days, so this has re-piqued my interest in checking Groupon out again.
