It's HERE! OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!
![]() My apartment complex office called me today, "Hello, you have a package in the office (ok, totally normal call so far) and I think it's from overseas? It's from the Royal Mail." I almost screamed into the phone when I said "I know what THAT is!!!" And she just laughed at me and hung up. I went down there right away but waited until my roommate left to take pictures lol and then I had to resize them all! EEK! ----- Ok, I know you all know what bat this is already but I had to do a reveal anyways since it's my first BE!!! Before I start the picture fest though, I want to say a VERY special thanks to Shannon, Megs, Vlad, everyone at TPF and Jackie, Rose, Maya, and everyone at BE for putting this contest together!!! I absolutely never thought I would win even though I had fun voting on the bag until it actually started! And, thank you to all the Belenista's for your support and welcoming of a new BE girl! You are all so sweet, I've found a cozy new place on TPF to poke my head for sure! !Onward and upward... The pics earlier on are more true to color for the most part since it was still light out and I was getting sunshine in my windows... My initial review: I have nothing BE to compare it to, but holy camoly this is one heckuva gorgeous bag!!! The threading (correct term??) is simply wonderful and really adds dimension to the bag, the tassles are super fun and I love that the backside of them is lighter... very fun! The hardware is divine, the leather is smooshy and soft but still feels thick and not delicate. I love the pink rhinestone on the BE tag, so cute! The shade of purple is VERY purpley... it shows up reddish/raisin in some of my pics but it most certainly is purple. The construction of the bag is wonderful and I love the fact that it has feet (six!) on the bottom! This bag is UBER comfortable on the shoulder and weighs almost nothing despite all the wonderful leather being used! There are two pockets on the front and two in the back, a snap pocket (had no idea that was there!!) on the inside as well as slip pockets. This bag is BIG, I read the description and all that but in the pics it's so smooshy I never realized how big it was going to be, I love it! It's wide at the bottom too so it will hold lots and it also provides some support when it's set down. Both sides (one without the stitching and one with) are both gorgeous and I won't have to worry about which side is facing out when I pick it up... they are equally lovely! The handle is great, I love the detail on the top of it too... really helps pull the whole design together! Lastly, the blue lining is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO pretty... it's a gorgeous sky blue color and pops very nicely against the dark purple. It's so refreshing to open up the bag! I absolutely ADORE this bag; dare I say I am enchanted by it

Annnnnd a few modeling shots
Seriously, the drop length on this bag is VERY ample, I just have huge arms. I'm 5'6'' and rather plus sized! Well, there you have it! My new Enchant Me I'm totally excited about this bag and think it's absolutely lovely! If you want other specific pics just let me know... I might try to do some more modeling pics too if I feel up to it. Love it!!!!!! Thank you again TPF and BE!!!!!! |
