Just wanted to thank you all for your compliments!! 
I haven't used it much - just took it to the coffee shop and back -- but I love it. And yes, hooking the tabs into the gold studs on the front would drive me nuts, so I just close the flap, close the turnlock to secure the bag, and I'm off. I think the gold studs are mainly there for aesthetic reasons, actually. The bag is a very casual one, so it looks fine with the leather tabs "unhooked." It'd take a very, VERY patient woman to latch them on every time!
Speaking of casual, it kind of cracked me up, because I was trying it on in the store and the SA was like, "Oh, yes, you could dress that bag up or down." She was very sweet and otherwise very helpful, so I resisted the urge to say, "Dress this bag up?!" If anything, it will add a casual vibe to long maxi skirts or dresses. I'm picturing it with a slim leather jacket, a maxi skirt, and cool boots. Anyway, if someone can suggest a cool way to actually dress it up, I'd be more than happy to hear it. But I bought this bag knowing it was super casual, and that's the way I plan to use it.
Now...that jade rhyder....a bit off topic, but it's haunting me. I want the large one. I asked my SA and she said that as of a couple days ago, there were around 25 or so left in Jax. 25???!!!! I hope they make more, because I cannot afford that bag right now (or any other bag, for that matter), but I want it. The color is screaming at me to get it. Ok. Tangent over.
Thanks again for all of your kind words!

Thank you for revealing this one. I keep looking at these. I love the color and you about sold me with the notebook shot. I'm forever carrying my journals. Very nice!
Congrats and thanks for all the pictures. I am really liking the style of this bag. It looks comfy and versatile
Looks like a great bag, but I especially love your grommet Borough, and of course your kitties
CoachCruiser, wow!!! I didn't realize you revealed this beautiful Borough!! I absolutely love this color combo with the grommets!! Congrats and enjoy!
Thanks again, ladies! I love these two bags. They're both very different. I haven't used my grommet brick Carlyle yet, but I think that's because I really look at it as my "autumn" bag. I also couldn't resist a mini duffle in purple iris...that color is incredible, and I adore purple and earth tones, for some reason. Anyway, thanks again. I'm sorry to hear the Rhyder leather isn't a hit but I'm happy that my bank account will finally be safe!!!!!
