Balmain Punk Suede Studded Handbag
Studs really are popular this year, and this Punk Suede Studded Bag by Balmain is a perfect example. Suede is such a great fabric for the fall and winter and this time it gets a 'tough luxe' treatment with studs of varying size and color laid into the front flap in a dense, abstract design that kinda reminds me of animal print. There's an exterior pocket tucked under the front flap, and the interior of the bag features a full lining and zip-top closure. If you like it you better love it, as it's a bit pricey at $3,925.

Balmain Madrigal Chrono Lady Oval Watch For Miss Switzerland

Filed under: Timepieces

Worn by Miss Switzerland, the Balmain Madrigal Chrono Lady Oval watch is a good looker with other attractive qualities. Price and convenience being among them. Many women can benefit from changing watch straps often. This not only dramatically enhances the look of the watch, but also helps keep the design fresh. However, changing a strap is not always easy, and can often require small tools, and patience. So Balmain gave the Madrigal line of watches a nice quick release system making it easy to change the watch straps at your whim. When getting the watch, it comes with three watch straps (white and black leather, as well as the steel bracelet).

The steel case is a gentle oval while the watch has a Swiss quartz chronograph movement. The bezel comes with 74 diamonds, and the dial is available in various colors as well as in mother-of-pearl. The curved numerals and decorated make for a diversely functional watch which also comes with a good price of about 690 - 1,500 Swiss Francs. Crystal is sapphire, and the case is water resistant to 50 meters. A good value from Balmain, and you can know that Miss Switzerland 2009 herself is also enjoying one of these watches herself.
