Paris: Balmain Spring/Summer 2012

Balmain. Another favorite designer!

Love the luxe look of these pieces! 

At the same time, they exude a certain downtown edge that I enjoy. The body-con dresses are extremely cute sans the waist belts (I hate waist belts). Still seeing lots of white and high waist lines, so I take it, that's what we'll be wearing next year, for sure. I can't wait :)

Guess How Much

Balmain crocodile skin jacket, a whopping $74,000.

Crocodile is one of the most, if not the most expensive exotic skin around, so it's no surprise that this jacket cost so damn much.  However, this jacket is not cute. But, it's by Balmain, so I'm sure some wealthy (not rich) fool will purchase this piece for that fact alone.

I wouldn't even think about buying this jacket if I had the money, would you?   

If this was a chill motorcycle jacket with exaggerated shoulders, it would be a lot cuter.
