Hi ladies
Who's got an I'm Beautiful? Tell us about it.
What is it like if you don't put a laptop in it?
Did you all see Jackie's picture on Twitter, carrying her I'm Beautiful?

I'm starting to be highly attracted to the structured shape of this bag. Most BEs are slouchy...and this one has a nice boxy shape. Me likey!

I know. I really really want one too. I'm thinking the root color or the navy. It just looks so classy and ladylike. The one thing I'm concerned about it how well the straps stay on the shoulder, especially the midi size. I also want to know if it's heavy or not.

I would also love to hear how heavy the Midi is with a laptop in it. I am currently using the WTM as my laptop bag and so far nothing as come close to how comfortable this bag is even loaded up with laptop, power cord, etc...

In Twitter, Jackie says the I'm Beautiful is light as far as bags go...but of course, that it will take on whatever weight of your laptop, as is the way with any laptop bag. The 13-inch Mac is heavy. I traveled to Europe with it and, not fun. I'm waiting for the Mac notebook to debut one of these days...

The squared, structured shape of I'm Beautiful feels very fresh to me after years of slouchy bags...

I love the structured shape of the I'm Beautiful. The full size is most definably on my wish list. I travel for work often and always have to bring my laptop. I'd love a more fashionable way to carry my laptop bag through the airport and to the office.

I'm ordering the I'm Beautiful Midi and can totally post pics and a review once it gets here! I'm super happy to have found a structured BE that looks like maybe I can arm carry...I'm planning to use mine sometimes as a baby bag, sometimes as a lap top bag, and sometimes as a regular handbag-love that it seems to have so many functions! :)

^^^^What color are you ordering? When do you receive?

I ordered this in the old matte thick tan and in matte thick charcoal leather from BEC, and I'm ready to get it in. I'm hoping that it will be a great all-in-one travel bag. I want it to transport my computer when I'm traveling, but then I want to be able to remove my computer and use the bag as my regular handbag.

My family has a 3 week Europe trip planned for 2010, and I'm hoping that with this bag I will be able to travel with only it and a 22" carry on suitcase.

This sounds fantastic! You know, I wonder if you could somehow fit a WTM midi in one section so that you could have a hands-free option while you're out and about in Europe?

I've been agonizing about the color for a week or two now, lol...I promised myself I would just decide by tomorrow and then place my order. Hopefully it'll be here within a week or two after that!

That is one great idea you got there, missy! I likey!

Can't wait to see pics, esp. action pics. gga, did you order from the discounted leathers?

I'd love to talk about people's ideas for this in various black leathers and the various hardware. Which black do you think would look great in this? Which would be the most durable? Which would be the lightest? (Can you tell I'm thinking of this in black?)

If it were me personally, I would go for the matte super soft black (with blue lining and silver hardware) or the thick matte charcoal (with fuschia lining and silver hardware). I'd probably get the latter, because the idea of a dusty greyblack and a bright lining in this style drives me nuts. The pebbled black will be heavy but durable - being such a smooshy leather that is good for slouching, I don't think I'd personally want it in a structured style like the I'm Beautiful.

OMG!!! You. ARE. BRILLIANT!!!! That would be totally ideal.

And if it wouldn't work with a WTM midi, it might work perfectly with a Surprise Me.

*running madly off to BEC now*

ETA: ThisIsMyPurse, I ordered the matte charcoal IB through the discounted leathers. The others I didn't.
