As I mentioned in the previous post, I got a new handbag and some of you guessed correctly! A Black Balenciaga City with regular hardware. It wasn’t all 100% of a birthday gift, but half of it was me selling lots of stuff on eBay that I didn’t want or wear anymore. I also got the handbag on eBay from reputable seller and saved some $$ that way. I’m excited because I actually do not have a black large handbag!
As far as the shoes, I’ve been on the hunt for a pair of comfortable black wedges/platforms and after spotting these and trying them on (so comfortable) I needed to get them! They’re from LF Stores and a Limited Edition between Jefferey Campbell and LF.

Great birthday purchases! I have a black city also and love it! It's my go to bag for everything. The boots are sooo cute! My birthday is also the 28th and I am hoping for a red Balenciaga city. Hoping to find a reputable seller :)!

Thank you all for your nice comments!
I got it from the seller "shopinforbes" but I ALWAYS get everything authenticated on The Purse Forum. They're so helpful on there and always want to see closeups of the details which give away whether the bag is authentic or not (on a Balenciaga it's things like the bale, rivets and the zippers.. Hope this helps!
