Movin on the dance floor, babe, you're a bird of PARADISE...

...cherry ice cream smile,
I suppose it's very nice.
With a step to your left and a flick to the right,
you catch that mirror way out west.
You know you're something special and you look like you're the best...

...her name is RIO!

Gorgeous! Bag! OMG. (And I love Duran Duran.)

 

[smiles1]

Love, love, love it!!!!!!

 

[HmMmluvthatbag]

Oh my word, that bag is pure hotness! The color is so vivid and cheery. You rock it well Ms. sassy PM! Congrats!

 

[kmroboto]

Gorgeous! I mean really gorgeous! The color looks fantastic on you. Yay!

Thanks, Keen, Smiles, HmMm and KM! I took another pic of it on the shoulder and in natural light but I can't figure out how to re-size them. I'll try again in a bit. It's definitely a "check me out" shade! A blend of hot pink/orange/red that's tough to capture in pics but that first caught my eye when Selmom revealed her coral Vera. I honestly hadn't given the Rio much thought until I saw Indi modeling her purple one and from that moment I was smitten. When this came along I just had to pounce!

Gorgeous PM!

It's similar to Geranium! We've both had a long love affair with that color. Such a perfect shade. The Rio is definitely one of my favorite Paradise shapes. It *seems* like a good medium sized bag.

What a gorgeous color! So bright, cheery and summery. It looks great on you Ash.

You NEED that color bag, you blonde hottie, you! It really looks killer with your skin and hair, and a really great size for you, too!. Woot!!

Thanks, Llama!

H, it's like geranium but with more of a reddish orange cast. Coral is a pretty apt name for it, actually! And I'm loving the size and shape of the Rio style. It's a great balance between structured and slouchy IMO.

 

[pursemonkey]

Thanks so much, LB!

Selmom, thanks so much for the feedback when I was debating. You sold me on coral and I couldn't be happier with it!! Seeing you with your gorgie Vera and that excellent comparison pic you took for the red bag reference thread put me over the edge!

 

[weffendy]
