So the Bal bag addiction continues......
I love the smell and feel of the smooshy leather and simply can't forget the beautiful golden color I saw in the boutique the other day when I was shopping for Cassis......so I decided to take the plunge.....
I drove all the way from work to the boutique yesterday quite determined to get a new bag, but as Fate would have it, by the time I got there, the shop was closed. Damn they were punctual!
So obviously I was more determined than ever that I would get it today. Strange how adversity strengthens the resolve LOL
Anyhoos, I took off from the office at 6pm
sharp today so that I can get to the boutique before it closes. I did get there in time, and amazingly, the item that I wanted was available (so I must be fated to own this right? ^_^)
To be honest I had gone in half expecting one of few things to happen:
- The colour I want is not available
- The colour is available but the size I want is not available
- The size in the colour I want is available but the hardware I want is not available
Interestingly enough (and further convinced me that I am fated to own this bag), no such problems occurred.
Worse, I got up-sold from the classic (cheaper) version to the rose gold hardware version.
But of course I lapped it up like a little puppy.....finally walking out of the boutique with a nice package but a big hole in my pocket :(
Rawr..........
However I do love my new baby, here's a pic:
The second pic is much closer to the true colour - a beautiful golden pile of smooshy leather.....
I think this will curb my addiction for a while......until I can find a shade of green that makes my heart leap!
In the meantime, I've my sights set on a Steve Madden.......tah!
