Fendi Baguettes

Yes I am indeed very good at procrastination :) Anyhow...this should be quick! So back in early March, the anniversary Baguettes came out and I can confirm that they look no better in real life than in pictures. The embossed look cheapens the bag and you end up getting a monogrammed bag that somewhat resembles plastic (especially since the leather is quite stiff...) :P Yesterday the SA called yet again to see if she could put aside any colors (I'll admit, the bright and bold colors are a plus...) and I didn't have the heart to tell her that I was not interested in fug so I said I would just come in at a later time to take a look. So today I decided to browse around to see if maybe there was something worth getting since the SA seemed pretty reliable and would probably be a great contact to have. I was pleasantly surprised when I came across this demure baguette on the Saks website. THIS IS WHAT A BAGUETTE SHOULD LOOK LIKE PEOPLE!!!! A simple shoulder bag with the double F enclosure in the front is what originally made this bag iconic and this is how things should remain. I am oddly very excited over this bag...and you know what?? I am lacking a patent bag in my collection :D BUT...I had already made up my mind that my next purchase would either be the Muse or the Bayswater...SO...not quite sure how to rationalize getting this baguette :(
