Make mine a Day in Vert Thyme!

No browns though? That must be a first for Balenciaga? I like the look of the Magenta and Bubblegum pinks but luckily for my bank balance I cannot carry off a pink bag

Thanks for the updated/newly photoshopped board!!! I really hope my choices pan out and look great IRL!!! I really need to call BalNY though and confirm my waitlist!

thank you!! did i see another vermillon????????
i'm liking the electric blue!

i'm absolutely intrigued by the 'bouton d'or' - it looks the same colour as a crayola crayon in chartreuse! one of my favourite colors as a kid! i'm picturing it in a city or first - would look so good with a backdrop of black!

yum, yum...

the more i look at it the more i LOVE vermillon! i've always strayed away from true reds... but the hint of orangey coral is beautiful! i think a vermillon twiggy is calling my name

i went to the barneys trunkshow today (in san francisco), and they only had the floral bags...
they only had a binder for me to flip through to see what bags the store ordered...
the sa said the beverly hills trunkshow will have a larger selection of bags...

fyi the florals are a cotton/poly blend and have been treated to be water resistant...

Thanks for the pics of the swatches!! I am going to go neutral for S/S 08.....thinking about a sahara day with GGH! Still getting used to the GH but the gold looks so good with the neutrals~~

Thanks for the report Kimair. What did you think of the clothes?

the clothes were insane...
soooo gorgeous...the detailing and craftsmanship was just extraordinary...
i preordered a pair of shoes, but not from the runway (although they had those too)...
i didn't have much time...i'm going to go back tomorrow after work...

anyone that's seen the vert thyme, is it like this?

 

[addicted ali]

^^^ I kinda hope its like that... a bit closer to dolma?
