Here are my purchases from the BE sale. I love the colors! They are so pretty and just happy!

The wax leather is special too. I love the pebbled leathers, but the wax leather is so soft, weighs nothing (actually lighter than the glossy grey, which is super light) and has a pretty sheen to it. It has some light veining too, but only when you look up close. Here are some photos for everyone!

Turquoise TME w/ gold hardware:

Compared to the Apple Wax leather for color:

Apple Wax Adore Me

Very close to the color of grass!

Some thoughts on the Adore Me- fantastic and underrated bag. It is a very feminine hobo and not too big. It is the perfect size b/t large and medium. It is the size and width I wish that the Stroke Me Midi was, b/c the large seems just too large, but the midi not big enough for me. The details on the handle, with the zippers and the slight leather split, plus the pleat/gather, make for a really pretty bag. It weighs nothing! I am glad I did an impulse purchase with this one when they were put on the sale for $120.

Here is a BE family picture as well:

elizat: I'm not a fan of green, but--OMG--I adore your Adore Me! That leather is TDF, and the color has to be one of the prettiest greens I've seen. I like the bag's shape and design details. Did I understand correctly--did you get that bag for $120?! The apple AM looks like grass, while the turquoise TME looks like a slice of sky.
Awesome purchases! KongratZ!!!

Gorgeous, Elizat! I really love the apple! What a gorgeous bag and what an amazing price!!

elizat · Oct 22nd, 2009, 06:18 PM

Karmen- yep, $120! BE added one or two of them on Sunday morning and it was a total impulse buy, but I thought for the price, I would give it a shot! It is a very pretty green- I thought it might be off colored, kind of like the color of baby food peas, but it is not at all!

Thank you, TL! I tried my best for some decent photos too to show the colors and details (still not great, but better than usual).

TropicalGal · Oct 22nd, 2009, 06:22 PM

Well done! Your bags are beautiful and great buys!
I'm glad you adore the Adore Me, and I was happy to read your review. I tried to buy that bag but you got it first! The style seems to have disappeared as a style, I don't know why. I always liked it and wanted to try it. Enjoy.

The Adore Me is stunning! I love the style and the color!!

Thank you, thank you for taking such great pictures and sharing your bags with us. I am jumping up and down with excitement because I ordered a bag in this delicious apple wax leather and now I really can't wait until it arrives. You got such great deals and the colors are real show stoppers!

finzup · Oct 22nd, 2009, 07:26 PM

love both of them!

Love the apple and what a steal! I have a TME coming too in the turq so it is good to see what it looks like!

*suzi* · Oct 22nd, 2009, 09:27 PM

I love both the apple green and the turquoise. Both are such pretty colors. Congrats on the great buys!

lanasyogamama · Oct 22nd, 2009, 10:04 PM

Congratulations!! What great deals.

clu0984 · Oct 22nd, 2009, 10:18 PM

Love your bags. I also agree that the Adore Me is totally under-rated but such a practical bag. Love the colors you chose
