Balenciaga: Arena Giant Evelope

I hope you all had a happy Fourth!

My parents were in town and we had a great tour de vino up in Napa. And, I got to use my first Groupon purchase... though since my mom joined the "extended family club" of the vineyard, the tastings would have been free. But, hey, it's $15 for a four person tasting - I had to try.  Otherwise, a great Groupon experience overall. 

With that said, Barneys sent an announcement for the new Balenciaga colors for fall.  The colors are Seigle (deep cowboy shade of beige), Castagna (deep wine brown) and Bois de Rose (peachy nude), which you already know is my favorite color for fall.  But, they're all winners in my book.  


What I'm fanatic about are the new rose gold studs.  I've always adored the boldness of the large hardware, but was hesitant about how the flashy gold and silver would translate into daily wear.  Naturally, I'm smitten by these perfectly balanced vintage warm toned studs!


P.S. There is a slight difference in the hues between Barneys email and site. I've seen this shade in person and it's closer to the latter (lighter).

Balenciaga Anniversary Bags

To celebrate its tenth anniversary, Balenciaga has teamed up with Neiman Marcus to offer a limited edition collection of six of it's "it" motorcycle bags.  Three of the designs are of the classic "City" and three are of "First".

As with all BBags, the excitement lies in its color palette.  And the finalists for the anniversary collection are Noir, Bronze and Bois de Rose.


So what's so special about this collection?

Unlike its peers (which has black cotton lining), this collection will have a special patterned lining!  Balenciaga has never done this before and to its fans, it'll be tempting not to pick one up.

    
Peek at its lining.


The outer shell of the bag will have a hint of shimmer, helping it stand out from the collection's regular leather.  Handbags are available for pre-order on Neiman Marcus.  Prices start at $1,195, in line with their regular collection and not bad for a limited edition.

    


I can't decide which I like better?  The Noir or the Bois de Rose?

The Patchwork retails around $2,300. 

What do we think about this?  Yay or nay?
