:nuts: does this colour cabat comes in nappa leather too? been hearing goatskin is heavy....
 
Was in store here in Singapore and managed to see, touch and feel some of the awesome SS09 bags. I love cinnamon but they are not bringing much icon bags in this colour. I think I would really like an icon bag in this colour, perhaps a sloane or campana. The copper goatskin cabat is gorgeous but feel it's too similar to my ottone. The saffron is slightly too strong orange for my liking. There's a curry sloane but it's sold so I didn't get to see that. I am just amazed at the number of orange shades they come up with in one season.

isit orange season? i should really2 get a few orange bv, since it's what i need, ba zi wise. not so much into the new styles though, some are pretty weird, like the circular north and south...hmm, not me at all.
 
Tea then Noce. Saffron is darker than cinnamon but different from noce so I cant compare saffron and noce.
That's not all! There's still curry and caramel apparently!
I also saw the absinthe pyramid. Nice colour!

i tried on the absinthe pyramid today. gorgeous color. if you like chartreuse, this is a bit more muted and natural. my favorite color i think of the season. also tried on the curry sloane which is totally fabulous. have to say i love the shape of the setansentiesiaisit or however you spell it :woohoo:

I am falling in love with it more and more. I went to try it on today again and it's really perfect!
But like some of the girls here, I'm genetically programmed not to part with my money knowing that it's likely to go on sale in a few months time. I'm praying that due to the economy now, there will still be one left for me when sale time is here!

Oh, doloresmia, don't remind me, I love absinthe and that Shantang dress...
 
Mid- - i love the dusty tones of the current line of clothes! if only i weren't so curvy!!!!! i also looked at the gorgeous amber cuffs and HUGE amber pendant which basically covers 1/2 the chest or belly. luckily for me they were huge huge huge so i can love them from afar, but know they would be overwhelming and ridiculous on me.

spendalot - i am counting the days until June.... and i know there will be some lovely goodies for us. i would love to see what else they have in absinthe.... although frankly, at that point, i will probably get befuddled again with dreaming about FW 2009... and reflect.

i also so the crocheted plouf bag that likes like miss muffet's tuffet. it looks wonderful, sphere=like when un-tuffeted. it is large though, quite dramatic, and looks fabulous i think on someone with height or heels.

I'm supposed to be going to honolulu in a few weeks. Just wondering if BV bags are marked up in price in hawaii as opposed to the mainland? I went to a chanel boutique and the rep was ordering a bag for me from hawaii and she was telling me that if you go to the hawaii store the prices are higher. I know that holds true with some other stores out there as well. Anyone know? I want to take advantage of the cheap sales tax while i'm there! :yahoo:
 
^^^i believe prices are exactly the same.

I was in SCP spending a happy afternoon trying on BV shoes - the gladiators are AMAZING. very comfortable given the height.

they had a large messenger in absinthe nappa umbria which gave the colors more substance if you know what i mean, totally LOVE the color. also played with the tea sloane since it matched the gladiator shoes.... still in love with the absinthe. people literally were grabbing for the absinthe messenger after we left it on the counter. beautiful!

they had a GORGEOUS crochet bag draped on a trunk - oh my. i wanted to scoop that thing up! i think it would be a great weekend bag. large version of this one:

I saw this on sale at Net-a-porter
 
Thanks ReRe, I had many opportunity during this wonderful sale to get it. But in the end, I decided to go for Nero large capri and Saffron New pyramid instead :) still waiting for my saffron np to arrive.
