I've been toying with the idea of a Mona Lethal!!

shessica · Oct 19th, 2009, 03:38 PM

i got my garnet ML today! (super fast shipping!) she's just a little dry, so i'm going to lube her up with some lexol and take pics in a minute!

i'm not too wild about it when the straps start of the top (it's just way too long) but i do love it folded over, with the straps attached in the middle. I also like it with the shorter strap over the shoulder, too - but it doesn't sit NEARLY as nicely as my boogies... I'm not going to go bonkers over cross bodies anytime soon, but this one definitely fits the bill.

the color is gorgeous too, though i fear it won't work as well in the spring/summer. normally, i don't really care about that (i'm more intersted in what goes with my outfit), but now i'm wondering...

all in all, a good purchase, but one i'm not going to repeat. =)

It looks great on you and the color is awesome. I think you can rock it anytime of year but it lends itself more to the fall and winter probably. Thanks for the great pictures!

The ML looks great on you! I love it and that garnet is beautiful, is the colour in your pics the same as irl?

Thanks!

Some of the pics came out a little orange, but I think the color closest to IRL if the last picture where i'm wearing it on the shoulder.

Ooohhh...it looks great on you Shessica!!!

I really like it as a shoulder bag!!! Luv showed me that...and that is probably the way I would carry it most of the time...but it is nice to have the crossbody option, as it looks great that way too!!!

Can you get into the bag easily with it in the middle hooks instead of the top??

shessica · Oct 19th, 2009, 06:33 PM

Thank you thank you! i do like how it looks in the pics - growing on me every second! DBF came home and was a wee annoyed (playfully, though), but was forgiving since he knew I could afford it...

For the most part so far, yes! i actually like that is kind of "closed" when folded over, but not... it's not any more difficult to get into/find things than when i have to dig into the bottom of my boogies!

i like the outside pockets - I think those will be most useful for phones, starbucks cards, etc.

it's definitely the perfect size inside for my chicklit and even a book or two... it's very deep, tho, which is also why i like it folded over - less chance it will become a bottomless pit!

the ONE design feature that i don't love is the buckle/cross thing on the bottom pockets. wish it just had the one vertical buckle rather than the horizontal one...but, this is minor!

TygerKitty · Oct 19th, 2009, 07:50 PM

Ohhh I think it looks really good!

LuvAllBags · Oct 20th, 2009, 07:56 PM
