My BlueFly loot finally arrived today...VERY cute and super funktastic checkered snakeskin bow! She is super light weight, has a magnetic snap closure and fancier side bows that the regular bow bag. I think she's a keeper, but I have to try her on with a dress to be sure...sorry for the iphone pics, i was in a hurry...

I know alot of you thought this was "too much, too busy" - whaddya think???

oh wow it's big! yes, I think it's too much for me...but wtheck! if you like it, keep it regardless of what anyone says! that's how I was with the runway bag!

melovepurse · Sep 18th, 2009, 01:34 AM

thanks butterfly!!

It looks huge, but I am only 5'3" and the bag is closest to the mirror making it look even bigger. Its the same size as a regular bow & it has a crossbody strap. I plan to wear it only with solid blacks & greys so it will reduce the "crazy" effect!!

seulki · Sep 18th, 2009, 02:27 AM

oh wow

that IS definitely funky...loving the bows! I would keep it if I had it hehe Congrats!!

I like the bows! This bag is unique, wear it with simple, one color clothing and your bag will look outstanding! Congrats!

I think funky is the right word to describe this bow

baglici0us · Sep 18th, 2009, 07:39 AM

brintee · Sep 18th, 2009, 08:21 AM

Wowza!!

That is funky! I love it! Congrats melovepurse!

kiki119 · Sep 18th, 2009, 09:31 AM

is cute design, i got a silmar bag b4 "red checker", but i think the material looks like cheap plastic and return it right away, if you like it go for it, but that's just my opinion.

thanks seulki, pinksweety, baglicious, brintee, kiki119 and pink18820!

for all your nice comments!!

it's actually checkers painted on snakeskin, so this bow doesn't feel "plasticy", maybe the red one had a coating on it to produce the color?

Its so unique, I dont think I could part with it! Plus, I wear lots of solid blacks, greys so I won't be making any huge fashion errors!!

Cherrypinky · Sep 18th, 2009, 10:36 AM

I'm not a big fan of snakeskin but I like the color combination and the style. Congrats!!

linpaddy · Sep 18th, 2009, 09:51 PM

I think the design combo of bows plus checkered snake skin is so over the top that it's fabulous with a capital F.

It's so in your face and very unique. Not everybody's taste but very stunning and original!!!

Love it!!!

Thanks linpaddy and cherrypinky!!

I am going to take some better modeling shots today..

melovepurse · Sep 19th, 2009, 09:11 PM

A few modeling pics - I also got the Prada bow, not sure I am going to keep it. It really looks nice with dresses though, the bows on it add a sophisticated touch. Its a huge bag, though, much bigger than I expected....

Both dresses are from Anthropologie, the Black one by Leifsdottir..

Thanks for looking!
