i have the glazed almond MAB and LOVE it. i wanted a Nikki when it came out, but had to budget since I'm only a year out of grad school - so even though i supposedly make money now, i have loans to pay off. (i finally consolidated....so the Nikki is a celebration gift to myself? hahaha. no. just me with no willpower
i think both emerald are gorgeous (i posted another thread asking for the difference and thank you to those that led me to different pics). it was just hard for me to tell in the seller's pic since all looked darker than the pic of the bottom of the purse. like i said before, i'm just happy it's old hardware. i'm not liking the new ones as much.
