[Pretend] Christmas Wishlist

So I went a little nutty at the beginning of the hockey season and convinced myself that I could not live another day without a new handbag.  I have beautiful middle-line designer bags - Marc by Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors, Alexander Wang...etc. - but I needed my first WAG bag.  This sounds a little ridiculous - ok a lot ridiculous - but after a whole season of watching women flaunt chanels, LVs, and even birkins, one can start to feel a teeny bit self-conscious about a dangling coach tag.

So for my first bag, I decided to go with something not too expensive and with good resale value (ebay and craigslist master over here!).  Since university I have been eyeing Balenciaga bags, so I decided on this one: City in papyrus with giant silver hardware.


Pretty, no? Well after 13 days of it sitting in the box, untouched, I decided that maybe it wasn't the best colour for me.  I was so afraid of colour transfer from my uniform (dark skinny jeans) that I decided to return it.


The replacement: City in black with giant rose gold hardware.


Well, hello there beautiful.

Moving on...I'm clearly banned from handbag purchases for a while, but I would never deny myself the wonderful joy of window shopping.  In no particular order, here are the beauties on my wishlist:
p.s. I will not be upset if any of these show up under the christmas tree, just sayin...

Balenciaga City in Bordeaux from the holiday collection - yes, another Bal! Love them!

Louis Vuitton L in Gris Perle Mahina Leather




Celine Luggage Tote. This combo is from SS2010, but I'll accept any colour :)  Here's Nicole Ricci rocking a similar luggage tote. Swoon.

Unknown. Does that say Miu Miu? Someone please ID this for me. I snapped this photo from Elle magazine a few months ago. TBH, I would probably never use this because it's stark white, but I wouldn't mind having it just to stare at. <3

And just for fun:

Chanel, exclusively for Lady Gaga.  I realize this may be a little inaccessible but I do love it so. Imagine it as a wedding clutch...ahh. :) Read all about it here.
