I love them both! That is the best looking AM I have seen! It makes me wish Jackie would do an Adore Me Mini! I will have to ask!

Which is your favorite?

I have been trying to catch up here and saw that you have a very promising prospect! I hope you get the job!!!

Lovely bags! I would enjoy seeing modeling shots of the Adore Me, if you're ever so inclined.

Love the bags! Looking forward for my Turquoise as well as reading about your experiences with the Adore me.

I got some of these the last sale, and think they are cute!

Both lovely bags but the leather on your new Adore Me sounds perfect. I wish BE could get some Wax leather in rich autumn / winter colours.

The Adore Me looks great and now I've even more excited about mine that is on its way to the warehouse. Hopefully it looks as good in Dark Purple Glossy. Some modelling pics would be great. And I love the Turquoise, it is gorgeous.

The Adore Me looks cute. I am looking forward to reading about your experiences with it. I am really curious about the style and would love to see some modelling pics...

Thanks, everyone! The wax leather (odd name) is a very different leather, but I think those of you that have a bag in that leather coming will really like it!

On the request for modeling shots, I've never done them b/c it makes me uncomfortable posting them. I'm sorry! Plus, I hate any and all pictures of me! I run away when someone pulls out a camera to take a photo and duck out of group shots (I honestly hate photos!). To help with size the photo of the TME and the AM is a good one. The TME is full size and they look about the same width at the base (have not measured) and the AM is a slim profile bag, not bulky at all. I think I'm going to use it this weekend.

Hi Sandy!

I like them both and I'm surprised at how much I like the Adore Me! I don't think I can pick one yet. I needed a little color w/ my bags, so these are nice. I will report back on how I like the Adore Me after using it (plan to switch out tonight to that bag).

Thanks on the job note. I hope so too. Seems really good so far and I hope I get good news. I'd love to make a move, because I think I'd be a lot happier elsewhere.

Does it (the wax leather) seem like one that will change much with use, or does it seem like it is pretty stable and will stay the way it is when it's new? (apologies if you've discussed this already)

^ I think it is going to become slouchier, but will still be really silky and soft. I get the impression that it is going to age well.

^^ I don't know if that's the really right answer or the really wrong answer, since it sounds like you can't get it any more. GAAAHHH!!!

This sale exercises my restraining muscles way more than I am enjoying. Boo.

^ I'm sorry! Maybe email Jackie to see if there are any more wax bags in the sale? There is a yellow WTM midi, but that doesn't state if it is was or sheen, etc.
