Let's being with my 1st love and my 1st fake purchase. The Balenciaga. After doing tons of research and getting everything right I soon received my favorite bag I have ever bought(it really is and I still wear it constantly up until today!). My Red large motorcycle de lix. I purchased in February of 2005. These beautiful pieces of art fun anywhere from around $1,400-$2,300. Mine? $276
After I fell in love even more after I purchased the Red one I later went on and by the fall I had the bag in a large White and a medium Deep Blue.
Now onto the Valentino's. I hadn't thought much about Valentino's until we received a small collection in my Nordstrom. I instantly was blown away as soon as I put this patent leather Red bow clutch in my hand one day. It's been love ever since. I do not currently have a Valentino but it's on my "to get next" list. Enjoy the beauty below.
Onto a bag that I just HAD TO HAVE. I have a fairy obsession and I think I saw this in person at my Sak's a long long time ago and just KNEW instantly it had to be mine. I got all the information about the Prada and took a photograph in my head. later on that night the bag was being ordered through my favorite site in Sept. of '07. It's a magical bag and I'm sure most of you have seen it with my in my photos because I use it like it's going out of style!
Now not only do I love my fairy bag but there are a few others by Prada that are to die and on my list to get get soon! Enjoy.
Ohh soo pretty......Moving on though. This next bag I had just purchased. We have a store here in Pittsburgh, PA that surprisingly carries Givenchy bags. One time while I was at Burberry I saw the most interesting bag that looked like the leather was just about to melt into butter it was so subtle. I asked where she had had gotten the bag and who it was by and she told me it was Givenchy and from then on I wanted a Givenchy like no tomorrow. As you can see my most of my choices here, there is nothing i hate more than labels all over your bag. If you have a nice bag believe me people can tell. There is no need to stamp CD or LV or the Gucci label all over it. It's tacky and gross. So I just bought this and am expecting it any day now. The photo is in the pebble leather but I ordered in in lambskin. Perfect everyday huge black bag! I got it for $180 instead of the $2,200 it goes for.
I just want to show you these because they are just fabulous and my Chloe wallet that i have been using for 6 years really needs a replacement so I decided the new Tory Burch continental wallet was the way to go. I was going to just spend the $200 and get it directly from Tory Burch but then while looking on my site I found the wallet ranging from $35-$85 plus shipping. Total score. Don't you just love???
I'm still in the mist of the Neon Orange or the beautiful shade of Blue. What do you guys think?
Okay now here is what you have all been waiting for. My special websites that I know do a great job and are sent to you directly from lovely China where this is what they do for a living. Every stitch is in it's place and the leather is to die. I haven't ever received something that was not perfect so that's why I think you all should know about this. The key though is to get the higher price point. If you see the bag selling for $125 by one seller and $205 from another seller, believe me there is a reason. Spend that extra money and get the better quality. Here are my two favorite links:

All Balenciaga's please purchase through the DFO site. He is amazing and yes they do cost around $200-$300+ they are worth every penny. For everything else try ioffer. So many sellers! See who you like and like I said NEVER get the cheap stuff. You'll want to throw it away anyways so put the money into it. Owning a mixture of fake and real bags, I believe is the way to go. If you have any questions at all on how to get the measurements, see the inside of the real, or just anything at all.....please message me!
Peace & Balenciaga, Prada, Valentino, Givenchy, and Tory
