Default CRASH Bam BOOM!!! ♥ Come See My New Love Me Midi!!!
Okay peeps, we have been seeing far too few reveals around here lately, and I KNOW that you all have not stopped buying BEs!!!

So, as a public service, I will now unveil my newest acquisitions. I apologize for not doing a live reveal this time, but I promise that I will for my upcoming bags!! (Yes, there is more to come, cough cough).

I never for a minute doubted the hype over the Love Me Midi with the double zip; in fact, Moonstarr's lovely, lovely collection (can you tell that I admire your taste, woman?) has convinced me that it was the way to go. So I did it, and here is the result: my new Black Crash Love Me Midi with 2 zips!!

But NOW I REALLY get the hype...this is the PERFECT size!!!

And as vixnkitten (where are you, m'dear? I miss you!!) would say, here are her lovely panties:

I went fuchsia, because I loved the contrast with the deep rich black:

And here's my matching AP, also with silver hardware and fuchsia lining. I normally don't do black or other more classic neutrals, but the subtle shimmer of the crash (it's kinda rocker chick, especially in the LM style) won me over:

Also inside the package was a litle something that I requested a while ago, and that BE waited to send with my finished bespoke: my little clementine (at least I think it's that leather, please correct me if I am wrong!!) pebbled glossy AP with gold hardware and fuchsia lining!:

Finally, one last pic (I am a photo junkie, I realize ): my ever-growing collection of APs! All have been used heavily (I use one everyday and constantly rotate because I adore the fun colors) and equally adored. They will soon be growing by two, I am happy to admit!!!




Don't they look like little leather candies?

Congrats Loquita! It's gorgy!! I really do think the LM Midi with the two zips is THE best! I just love them. It took me a while to figure out what my favourite style/size was ... but now I know it's the one for me. I'm glad you love it so much.

Love your cute AP's too! Especially the photo of them all in a row ... so cute! I love all the colours.

BTW .. you should post bigger pics! They are very small and I want to see these lovelies in all their glory! :)

Loquita! You are quite right, not nearly enough reveals. I'm sweating it out in Jolly Old England waiting for my new bags and a certain Wine Make Me Smile Midi

I'll reveal all as soon as they arrive. I LOVE your Angel Purses - your photo has made me realise that I NEED one of these.

That is freaking wonderful! I so like the look of the midi, but alas I doubt they will sit on my shoulder. Your midi is great! Modelling photos on the way?!

VanBod dear, Hee hee, I am happy to give you all some purse porn!! And the MMS Midi will be with you shortly, I promise!!

And you DO need an AP!!! May I suggest that you start off with a bright color (there are so much fun or pewter crash?

gapaholic, sgreg, lanas,

Thanks so much!! I highly recommend the black crash...it is so chic chic chic. I am wondering why in the world I didn't get it sooner. It's very subtle -- I wouldn't even call it a metallic, personally. It also smells wonderful.

I am currently waiting for Jackie to come out with a unisex signature scent:

Eau de BE:

"For when you need to have your leather handbags as close to you as possible."
