Designer Handbags

I am sure if I were a celeb, or just a rich girl with unlimited funds on my credit card, I too would own around 20 Balenciaga bags. Paris’ little sister Nicky has been spotted carrying countless Balenciagas. We are talking around 20. Do you know how long and hard a regular person like me has waited on a list for just one? For a single one! I’ve given up on that quest, because I now realize that the celebs will steal that dream from me. Just a few days ago Nicky Hilton was seen sporting the Magenta Balenciaga Bag. At a first glance I thought she didn’t look good, but with a closer look I’m lovin’ her look. But her hair color- either I don’t like the color, or I don’t like the fried-out dry hair look. But let us not forget that she is carrying a beautiful bag!

Why it sucks to be an A-list celeb - Reason #267

You can’t pick, pinch, squeeze, smile, or laugh any way other than perfectly because the paparazzi will get it on cam and will make you look dumb. Unfortunately little Miss Nicky Hilton was digging for gold with her Balenciaga bag in the other arm when the paparazzi caught her. Let’s have a little sympathy here people, she obviously was at the drug store picking up an Rx (look under her nose picking arm). Either way Miss Nicky owns an exorbitant amount of Balenciaga bags and they are gorgeous aren’t they!

This post is do overdue, it’s not even remotely funny. About freakin’ time I got myself together to compile the best Balenciaga bags for Spring/Summer of ‘05. What I didn’t know until recently is that Balenciaga actually uses naturally distressed goat leather that gives the bags the slouchy, unique and ultra chic look that everyone loves and adores. Every female celebrity that comes to mind has one, but more about that later. Let’s show some bags and colors:

Balenciaga City Motorcycle Bag in Pewter - highly limited version and indefinitely unattainable.

Balenciaga City Motorcycle Bag in Verde Green - ВЈ720 at Brown’s Fashion. Inquire directly about availability.

Balenciaga Motorcycle Bag in Pink - ВЈ660 at Brown’s Fashion. Also, inquire directly about their availability.

Balenciaga Mini Twiggy in Teal, absolutely my favorite color - ВЈ515 through Brown’s Fashion. As of now, available in Sky Blue.

Balenciaga Classique in Noir - $995 through Aloharag.com. Definitely call them up, they don’t update the Balenciaga store page as frequently as they should.

Balenciaga Suede Sac Bag in Grey - $1050 through Aloharag.com.

Eye candy got you thinking? A word of advice to you - due to the nature of intense demand, there is so many shops online claiming to sell the real deal, and yet only offering cheap knock-offs. My advice: If someone offers you a 100% authentic Balenciaga for half the retail price, forgetaboutit. Stay away from Ebay, 99% of the sold bags are faux. Best bet are either Balenciaga brick’n mortar stores, malls like NM or Saks, or Balenciaga-certified online retailers, such as mentioned Brown’s or Aloha Rag. Don’t get ripped off.

Dark noir galore, but also plenty o’studs, grommets and chains. The fall collections, as presented recently in Paris, have a lot to offer. Here’s a first roundup of some of this year’s decadently delicous treasures.
