Fall 2011 Bleu Lavande Giant City with Rose Gold Hardware :)
I knew I wanted a purse for my birthday, and I knew it was not going to be an LV or Gucci, I was hoping to get my Chanel flap however I am still trying to recycle some funds for it! LOL! Initially, the DH wanted to get me the Prada Saffiano Luxe tote that we saw during our honeymoon in Singapore last May, however when I saw it again at NM, my heart was not pounding as hard as it did when I first saw it and then I thought it might not be the right time for me to get such a bag...too formal? Then I thought about other bags in my wish list...and how could I forget about my Balenciaga, it has been one of my HGs since college! I remember telling my DH (then boyfriend) that someday he had to get me that bag, I did not even know the name of the actual bag, I called it the "motorcycle bag" because of the biker chic look. So I guess with Gucci, LV and Chanel blurring my vision of this HG bag it has been put aside...not anymore, I took this opportunity to get my hands on my first Bbag! I went over to the B counter and I saw IT! the most gorgeous purple bag I have ever seen in my entire life! it was LOVE. It is bold! probably the boldest bag in my collection, but that's what I love about it, it is something different, something fun and exciting! the rest of my bags are neutral and subtle enough. It is exactly what I needed in my collection! FYI, purple is my favorite color since as far back as I can remember, in fact it was the main color for our wedding motif this is truly 100% me! so here she is, in all its glory...a very early birthday gift from the most amazing husband in the whole world! he kept his promise!
Took "grimace" while out in SF, she definitely earned several head turns! The rose gold hardware definitely toned down the brightness of the purple color and added a more vintage and sophisticated look to the bag! Who says you can't wear purple with anything?! till next post!
