New bags on be site!!

[RaeBelle]

I love the I'm Beautiful. I just need to decide if what colour I want!

[Sybaryte]

What's with the measurements provided for the Rock Me? Oh well...guess it doesn't matter since I can't afford one anyway!

I had the same observation, looks rather undernourished to me.

I agree...that model is gorgeous but I think she could use a pizza.

She should come over here and enjoy some good old Northern Ireland hospitality!

Oh Wow what a nice surprise to come home today and find all this fun activity on the site and our forum. I"ve been waiting for more chatter. hehe

Okay, here's what I think:

The Rock Me isn't a bag that I"m going to try now for a few reasons. First, it has the same straps as the LM and I find those won't stay put on my shoulder very well. Also, I"m moving away from handbags that have drawstrings on the ends when wearing a shoulder bag as they can be a little bothersome for me. I prefer more of a sleek/clean look these days. That said, I do LOVE the wtm because it's just SO darn practical (3 bags in 1) so I'll overlook the drawstrings.

Also the Rock Me seems too similiar to other BE styles and not enough difference to justify another purchase.

However, I can't wait to read everyone's reviews here and enjoy in the excitement over something new. I hope everyone that trys this style enjoys! I love sharing in the BE joy even if I"m not buying that particular style.....

NOW, I did think the black crash SPM looked cute. I"m thrilled that I gave this BE style another try especially since it turned out to be one of my favorite's in the line.

Also, I can't wait for new BE styles in the accessory department. I keep hoping to see wallets.....

Citychris, I totally agree with your observations over the model.

Just saw Jackie's post on FB and checked out the new bags!! I love the look of the new laptop bag, but I'm so hard on my work bags that I really hesitate to spend that much - I've been using two Ignes Francis bags (one bought with the discount and one at a super deal on Bonanzle) which are working out really well.

I'm totally loving the Rock Me! Lovebags - I have the same issue with the LM straps, but these look to be much thinner versions of those - does anyone know if they indeed are? They look to be more the width of the TMA straps which stay on my shoulder just fine! I've held off on getting the purple EM because of the strap issue but the Rock Me in purple would be heavenly! (heading off to check the bespoke posts now.....)

But the Rock Me just doesn't rock me. I like the look but it's not different enough from the current styles to lure me in. And it actually loses some functionality. Only one outside pocket ... plus, flat handles plus no messenger/shoulder strap just won't work for me.

From the looks of it, it has 2 outside pockets, one on the front and one on the back. Not 100% sure because I had too much coffee today and am having trouble controlling the 360 degree thing lol!

Also, I have to chime in and say that model's leg's look amazing in the I'm Beautiful shot. She has a very alienesque physique - I thought the blonde model appeared long-legged and thin before, and now she looks like a normal sized woman next to the shots of the current season's model. I think they both make the bags look wonderful though!

Wow! Love Me Midi's with two zips! I'm a happy girl.

I am totally loving the Rock Me Midi. I love the rocker chic look. Also, all of the purples are gorgeous!

I think it has 2 outside pockets as well. It's a little hard to tell though.

I LOVE the Rock Me...it's a hard feat to beat the Love Me's in my book.....but this one has me intrigued, for sure. This is the most exciting for me of any of the last 2 seasons styles.

Now, which color? (we need some new matte leathers STAT!)

[melissatrv]

I think the model has very thin legs....even the shoes look chunky on her because of that. When she is in shots where her legs don't show she does not look as thin. Funny how everyone thinks the RM looks like the LM or TME....to me it looks a lot like the WTM. Love the Port Wine color though and the double zips on the LMM, Jackie definitely heard our feedback on that and to much delight responded in kind..wonder if they will bring back any of the bags in the Mini size...wasn't there rumors of a WTM Mini?

[sgreg]

On the home page, there is a pic of the model wearing a gold WTM that looks like the mini. Perhaps they just haven't had gotten any stock to add yet.

Hi Lovebags

I do like the look of the Rock Me because, although it is very clearly a WTM variant style or a WTM/LM/TME hybrid (maybe it should have been termed a WTM Special Edition rather than given a new style name), the things that I don't like about the WTM have been removed. The Rock Me doesn't have the circles on the sides or the horizontal strapping that I have always thought clashed with the soft gathered top edge. It also has more depth so should be more useful. The additional decorative features are all very pretty, particularly the hook on the larger bag.

I can see why it has open pockets on the outside; LM/TME zips tend to stop the top of the bag gathering well, but this is the feature that I least like about the Rock Me. I would never put anything in such an insecure outer pocket, like the strange and useless (to me) outer pockets on the Chloe Paddington. (My first reaction to the Rock Me was that it had the Paddy's pockets.)

The Midi looks very small on the model but perhaps she is enormously tall?

I fancy that too!

Or join the girls on 'The Mulberry Sofa' where we are enjoying a virtual Krispy Kreme Donut fest! (Virtual doughnuts are not fattening enough to bulk the girl up though.)
