Yes I got the grey Focco bag as well and quite honestly I blame the likes of @Jen who told me in my White Focco post that THIS was the gorgeous one...
Well it is okay? As soon as I ripped it open I smiled and when my mum saw me on Saturday she demanded I get her one - so I did.
It's the same deal. Gold hardware etc....but this time the colour is nude/grey/lilac.
I think I should let the photos speak for themselves. I have nothing else to say. I am too embarrassed. I will however add that:
a) This may be my favourite one - even though the side zip has a wee hole in it - as the colour is perfect: softer than the white and tonally neutral enough to wear with anything;
b) It's typically sold out on the eBay seller site I recommended but I am sure others have the same one - I just did a quick search with "studded bottom bag grey" in eBay and loads of sellers in China appeared, all using the same image so no doubt, they all come from the same factory:
c) It looks nothing like the photos on eBay; and
c) THIS IS REALLY IT. I won't be buying more. All the colours I was curious about have been exhausted and I have got a grip.
I think my next post will be about my favourite eyeliner of the moment...La Ligne de Chanel, which Musing on Beauty correctly noted had been swatched on my hand in the photos takes the other day. If you want long-lasting beautiful liner....this is your man!
Okay, off to watch True Blood!
Bye all and hope you had a good Monday!
Love love love it :) I'm on the hunt for a bag in this colour, thanks for the heads up!
ReplyDeleteNothing to be embarrassed about! If you've got something good, why change?
ReplyDeleteIt's like those people who buy the same shirt in EVERY single color imaginable..again, if it's good, stick with it. =)

I own the REAL Rocco But seriously, it is way to heavy to use as an everyday purse so I am totally thinking about getting this Grey Focco it is just stunning and looks way lighter than mine (which I don't even wear because it hurts my shoulder...Yes this is that bad)
ReplyDeleteChloé.
@Karen - yaya hope you get it :)
ReplyDelete@Yaya - i love you! you just justified my purchases :) haha
@Chloe - seriously?! Wow okay now I feel like i have made very good decisions :) haha
oohh lala.. i love that lilac color and it goes well with your nail polish and the blazer. hmmmm.. maybe i need one of this too hahhaha.I love the black one even though the zipper was broken on the side.I like how you could put so much stuff inside and how light the leather is.. Perfect indeed :) x
ReplyDeleteHaha, I've read all your 'Focco' posts and let out a little squeal at all of them but this one is damn gorgeous!! x
ReplyDelete@luckymirai - ah glad you liked it in the end - I was worried! yes my side zipper is rubbish but I will never put anything in it so I can cope with that :)
ReplyDelete@Zoe - heehee: it's a beauty I think :)
Oh my, it's beatiful! I have the black Focco and wanted the grey too, but honestly thought it would be a proper "grey" and very drab. I am absolutely dying to get the tan/brown colour. I don't think I've seen any true to life photos of that colour.
ReplyDeletei love the grey, now i want one! lol
ReplyDeleteThis is the colour I have of the Rocco <3 love yours with the sequins! x
ReplyDeleteLOOOVE THAT BAG! I have one in my watchlist on ebay but wasn't sure of the size cause it was hard to tell without a person holding it. I think I will have to buy it now :)
ReplyDeleteThat's gorgeous! I've always lusted after the black Rocco, but this grey looks so much better! However I tend to be really cautious about buying knocks off etc from ebay, I just don't trust the sellers :/
ReplyDeleteEvery time i see a Focco post I manage to resist, but sod it I am going to get one, they are such a bargain I can't justify not getting at least one, which seller did you actually use? And would you recommend their service? xo
ReplyDeleteHaha, nice to read it's Chanel, as I've had my eye on these for a while, you might just enable me to get a couple, the rose platine looks fab.
ReplyDeleteAnd this bag, well... I need to go check eBay presto!
@Parisa - well i am definitely not getting that one: i have to stop somewhere :) haha I think you should go for it and let us all know what you think!
ReplyDelete@mw - haha i love it! I was so shocked at how lovely it was when I got it. The photos don't do it justice on eBay.
@Rachel - ah jealous of your real Rocco :) heehee
@MaviDeniz - definitely go for it :)
@Ha.rose - oh I trust the seller I used: bag that style is the name of the shop and I posted about it before. I know ebay can be tricky sometimes though :)
@Ms Bennet - I used the same one as the last two times: http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/bag-that-style-6 - arrived the next day!
@Musing on Beauty - this is their cake liner and honestly FANTASTIC! Hope you get your hands on the bag -and hope that you like it :)
great bag!xxx
ReplyDeleteok I JUST bought this from amazon.co.uk after reading your post, and I can't wait for it to arrive..thank u laura :)

ReplyDeleteAlthough I am not happy with the side zip :/ But I am not complaining for that price :P
BTW if you are interested in checking out my ring collection at my blog. I would love to hear your opinion <3
http://hijabme.blogspot.com/2011/07/my-ring-collection.html
Now this one I really do like, still not sure how I feel about the fact it's so clearly 'inspired by' the Rocco though so think I'll resist.
ReplyDeleteOMG..i maybe need to purchase this grey one as well! i just purchased the black and can't wait for it to arrive! :)
ReplyDeletethis is how i am haha if i love something i want it in every color!! I love the bag and will be looking for it soon I think. i'm jealous of the three you have!! xoxo

That colour is gorgeous! I wanted a black one a while back. Seeing both your bags has just cemented it!
ReplyDeleteI just ordered the black one and am so excited :-)this one looked gorgeous as well !!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous bag, + I love the outfit! Pray tell where you got that blazer? xx
ReplyDelete@michelle belle - yes. i think you do :)

ReplyDeleteOMG I just did it...it's to die for! I liked the black, then saw the white and was undecided which to get. This secured it for me so thank you! Might still have to get the black though... x
ReplyDeleteStep away from eBay... ;) This is such a gorgeous colour, so I don't blame you at all! :) If you reveal you've bought another one, I'll stage an intervention ;) haha x
ReplyDeleteOkkkkkk this is most definitely the most gorgeous one!! The colour is stunning and I think I need it in my life!

ReplyDeleteThe color is gorgeous! I want it so bad but it's sold out :'(
ReplyDeletelove that color! want one!
ReplyDeleteGreat post, the bag is fab.x
ReplyDeleteThis one is probably my favourite color. I love the look of this bag but I'm worried how it will wear long term.
ReplyDeleteNot tempted to get the brown one as well?
Love this look--this bag with this outfit is perfection. Sure you're not a stylist in blogger's clothing? ;)
ReplyDeleteOK, I fold. I'm gonna have to go out and get one.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, that's gorgeous! I want it now >.< lol :)
ReplyDeleteokay- i'm loving this whole outfit!
ReplyDeleteIt's ok for the bag post- If there is a bag then you must snag!
ReplyDeleteThere! I've started a new mantra for you! =)
You're killing me! With each "Focco" post my will to resist wears down exponentially, and now I must MUST have the black and nude bags. I just wish I could find a US seller but oh well, screw being practical ;)
ReplyDeleteI think I'm going to have to give in as well :( Such a beautiful taupey grey.. I don't think I have anything like it. You enabler, you!!
ReplyDeleteLaura you are hilarious! Happy you are blogging again :)
ReplyDeleteIt's such a gorgeous colour! And will definitely work with everything!
ReplyDeletehooray for another bag :D

ReplyDeletewww.kitchenetteboss.com
I adore the color & my louis vuitton is way 2 heavy 4 an every day bag :( shame i am not a stud girl though
ReplyDeleteCan you give us the seller's page? I am always skeptical when it comes to e-bay purchases... but I think I will dive right into getting this bag!
ReplyDeleteoh gosh.. now i'm even more confused about which one i prefer. i want all of them, arghh!
ReplyDeleteI caved. You're the best enabler Laura. Spent all morning drooling and finally couldn't take it anymore. I hope I love it as much as you do.
ReplyDeleteOh i love this colour Laura, seriously lush <3.

ReplyDeleteps. i bought this nice tan wedges from asos.com (inspired by your Guess wedges). i wanted to show up a pic but it was sold out the day after i bought.. so now i am just patiently waiting for it. also, i was thrown off the UK sizing.. hahahaha what newbie am i!
eBay makes me so happy! Love finding bargains, and selling - people will buy anyting! I am one of those people, I bought a pack of Lucky Charms off there the other day. Help! :/.
ReplyDeleteLove the bag(s)

LOLZ!

man, I love it- i only wish it had a shoulder strap!
ReplyDeleteI agree with a lot of folk that the grey looks best. Spotted Kristin Cavallari with the real Rocco in dark grey (somewhere in a mag) and loved it!
ReplyDeleteWould love to see some comparison pics of the three colours.
If you do...please, please call the post Meet the Foccos. ;-)
OMG! Laura, you are *making me* fall in love with these little Foccas!!!! ;) I don't know which one to get...black...white or this gorgeous grey one?? If you *had* to only choose one which would it be??? Thanks doll xoxo
ReplyDeleteSo I ordered the black thanks to you. Then i was tempted to buy the white because it is such a bargain. And now that I saw your pictures of the grey I'm like, "Hm well, I might as well snag the white AND grey."
ReplyDeletelol
