TG - Did you receive your taupe SMM? What did you think?

Hi, love love love the taupe leather. So gorgeous, so versatile, so light. However, I have to admit I was a bit taken aback at the size of the Stroke Me medium...it looks like a Stroke Me MINI... But I think I am just accustomed to the huge bags.

Actually, I'm going to keep it and use it. I think there is a place for a small(er) Stroke Me, to use for day outings when I don't want to carry the kitchen sink. I need to vary my wardrobe and not have all big bags. My daughter (17) has asked for my Stroke Me Medium....that's how much she loved it. So we'll share it.

I have a taupe WTM on it's way next week and a pewter crash WTM midi on bespoke along with a dark choco SM.

Do you believe TG that I"m trying pewter? hehe

Pewter is a GREAT neutral. I adore my pewter MMS Midi. Took it to a meeting last night and everyone was eyeing it.

Okay, before I give my list, keep in mind that I have recently sent 8 bags off to consignment, so it's not as bad as it looks.

I have on order from BEC:
Matte Tan LM Midi (this is to replace my regular Tan LM ... I love the Midi size more)
Matte Dark Grey LM Midi (ditto to above, but my DG LM)
Matte Dark Purple LM Midi
Matte Petrol WTM Midi
Black Pebbled EM
Dark Purple Pebbled SM
Black Pebbled TME (for August)
Pewter KM

In addition to the two regular size LM's I'm replacing, I also sent off my Pink Sheen and Cobalt WTM Midi's. I liked the bags, but I really LOVE the matte leathers ... and I had to give up something to get the newer ones. SO I decided to let those two go as well.

I thought the same TG and worried that the SMM would be too small for my needs, but actually once I started using it I realised it was the perfect size for me. I tend not to carry a load around with me so I LOVE IT. The SM that I ordered was far too big for my needs.

Glad to hear about the taupe......

I wish you would quit sending your castoffs to consignment. We all want first dibs on Bonanzle or the BAY!

TG - Welcome back!We missed you.

I have my eyes on a tan Love Me Midi with two zips and shortened handles or I have been considering a pewter WTM Midi and am wondering what it would look like with gold hardware? My choo was platinum with gold hw and I miss the "look" dearly but it was too small.

Right now, I'm sorting through my bags and refining my collection since I have exceeded my ten and would like to keep it at a reasonable level.

So nice to catch up and see what everyone's thinking "handbag-wise." This BE forum sure looks busy with all the group bespokes and personal bespokes...

I just ordered the EM in the purple cervo with silver hardware and light gray lining for September delivery. It is going to be my new Fall/Winter bag and I love that I have to wait for it! It is something to look forward to!

I want the hobo particularly after seeing Jackie's modeling photos. But I cannot decide on color. Love the purple but I have wine and I have plum crash. I am thinking red. Or dark brown.
