coley, I have to agree with enciell...the pics are pretty true to color, but the bag is a bit more blingy when you first get it, then the color calms down a bit. It's my fave metallic ever!!

Yep...you are seriously rocking that Hug Me, woman!!

This bags looks great on you!! You have managed to design my favorite SM ever!!! It is a fantastic bag...can't wait to see how it ages and improves!

Enciell,

You make that pewter crash Hug Me look amazing! Wow!

Pradamein,

LOVE that full size SM. I wish BE would bring this bag back in more colors because it just rocks. You picked a gorgeous color and it looks fab on you, even in your "take your kids to the nursery" clothes! Love both of these!

I must be the only lady here who doesn't own a full length mirror! Here are some very blurry shots of my full sized navy TMA, for size reference. It is worn with the WTM strap (lengthened 2 inches) and I am 5'3" and 150+ pounds.

Jenova · Jun 16th, 2009, 02:21 AM

I am even more impressed by your TMA. It really does look gorgeous on you!

(At least you have a decent mirror. Mine is on an old wardrobe and is kind of gloomy with queer black splodges on it where the mirror stuff is degrading. It is also in a dark corner and I have terrible trouble getting good pics, particularly in winter.)

Thanks, it ended up being a really good size when worn (even though I'm on the shorter side), despite me being quite intimidated with it when I took it out of the box.

Loquita · Jun 24th, 2009, 10:26 PM

Wow!! Your TMA looks so great on you, sgreg!!

it!!

It's such a chic bag...

Okay, today as I was avoiding working on my tenure file I did something completely out of character (not that avoiding my paperwork is something out of my character, but...) -- I took some mod shots with several of my BEs. I hope that they help someone else out who can't try the bags on IRL!

Here's my (empty, so it looks kinda funny) full-size WTM in burnt orange sheen, carried three ways. I am almost 5'4", and would prefer not to know how much I weigh at this fragile stage in my psycho-social development.

Loquita · Jun 24th, 2009, 10:33 PM

Make Me Smile Midi in wine sheen, worn two ways:

(It looks a bit wonky in the handles when you wear it cross-body, but I like to do so sometimes for comfort. This is a supremely comfortable bag).

Loquita · Jun 24th, 2009, 10:35 PM

Love Me Mini

in red glossy, worn two ways (it also fits comfortably over the shoulder):

Loquita · Jun 24th, 2009, 10:38 PM

Hug Me (small/regular size) in pewter crash (perfection!), worn two ways:

Here I have it stuffed with paper, but when it has my daily essentials in it and I wear it crossbody it drapes wonderfully. It might look like a baked potato but it is the most awesome baked potato ever. Period.

Loquita · Jun 24th, 2009, 10:40 PM

Love Me (full-size) in purple glossy...the handbag that I will never part with!

It's empty here...looks better when full..but you can see how unbelievably squishy the leather has become with time.
