I've only been in love a few times, and the moment I first set eyes on the Balenciaga Graffiti Lambskin Classic City bag in black was one of them.
Now ffwd to my discovery of the Drapy mule at Neiman's, but only in gold. Perfect design. Dress up or down. Comfort and a heel? Yes please. Bought 'em, love 'em, don't often wear 'em - the heart wants what it wants, and mine wanted black.
I know, I know - who cares, just get to the recipe Bitsy!
Balenciaga at Northpark only allows a few people inside at a time, and they have a lot to look at, including ready-to-wear and all the versions of that sock shoe thing everyone seems to be into which I swear was borne out of a need for quarantine chic. Lockdown Tik Toks were serious business.
The good news was the shoe I wanted was marked down from $750 to $357 (they never discount black, OMG yayyyy!) - the bad news was they were out of stock.
Enter Aliyah - she was so patient and helpful and awesome! She got my # and began her mission to find my shoe. That same afternoon she texted me that I could pay online and my beloved in black would be shipped from the Houston Galleria to my home.
Thanks again Aliyah, nothing beats a great experience accompanied by a sale price :)
