i like nice things. posted : 05/15/08 at 03:26pm pst listening to:Your Move - Blackalicious
so after years of lusting over the balenciaga city bag and not being able to find a satisfying replica anywhere, i decided to purchase the real thing.  it's $1,300, but i've come to justify spending that amount on a handbag.  i think this bag came out in, like, 2004 or something?  i think it's a classic, and it won't be going away any time soon.  i called the balenciaga stores in new york and los angeles yesterday, and they are all out of the city bag in black.  they have other amazing colors, such as bright turquoise, bubblegum pink and sky blue (pictured below), but i figured if i'm going to drop $1,300 on a handbag, it might as well be in a color that i can wear at any time.  they put me on a waiting list to get the black one, but it could be anywhere between tomorrow and september!  i am going to start putting away $100 a week in order to pay for this.  i am really excited, and i think it will be completely worth every dollar.  besides, we all know that fakes will never ever compare to the real thing.



in other news, after seeing harlow's samples from her shoot on the god's girls myspace, i'm pretty sure she is my new favorite.  she is so0o hot.

anywho, time to eat some tacos.  i will keep you updated on the process of obtaining this beautiful handbag in the near future.

oh my god, we are soooo kindred spirits. i am a handbag fiend and i intend to collect at least a few classics which will make up my net worth in 40 years' time. my big thing at the moment is saving up to go into the chanel store and buy a black 2.55. i want to shop sitting down, possibly with a glass of champagne in my hand. possibly also wearing a big pimp ring on my little finger. and i may stroll in with a glass topped cane, sunglasses and a mink coat. that's how i picture it happening anyway

There are some black ones on ebay....but they all seem to be 2007/2008 designs...and they aren't any cheaper.
This should be your prize for being the Xtreme Queen.
