I like using the Lyla for when I don't need a larger bag. It's been my casual go to recently when going shopping or out to eat. I'm personally not a fan of rivets in general but I don't think these look too busy or young, I'm in the same age range.Ok, so I picked these Lyla crossbody bags up on FOS.... But I need to decide which one I like better because I just don't know if I need 2 of this size bag. Any advice?
Black/holo rivets: I have a ton of black bags, but none with the pretty holo effect. Plus I have the anodized (oil slick) teddy bear and Rexy charms that I could use to accessorize it. But I can hang those off any bag, really... and I wonder if the holo rivets are too "busy" and young for me, as I am now officially in my late 30s
Midnight color: I don't really have any bag in this color. I love the rivets and blue/gray color.... but am also worried about the glittery finish on the rivets. I saw one at the outlet where the rivets were scratched up and it bugged me to think mine may look like that after a little while.
If any of you have a Lyla, do you wear it often enough to warrant having 2? I seriously need some help in making a decision....

As for picking one, the black edges out the blue for me with the holo.
I'm so glad you are liking it better than the KH 25! I'm trying to decide if I would so I appreciate your answers! How about what Wintotty mentioned with the clasps rubbing on the leather and leaving a spot on her pink bag? It almost looks like if the strap hooked on a little higher on the bag it would be better. I should just order one but then I'm limiting funds for any other PCE items I may want. Decisions.....decisions.....
I ordered the little KH kisslock so maybe that is enough of the hearts for me....
That's exactly what I'm wondering for myself, since I bought the 25 before I knew the pouch existed! Love love love the pouch. Well, love both... timing out soon!
If it does leave a spot, since the leather is a darker color I don't think it will be as noticeable as it would be on the light pink. I would be okay with it. I already moved into the bag so I'll let you know if I see any marks over the next few days. It is seriously love at first sight with this one!
i also ended up returning the KH kiss lock pouch. It was just too risky with the leather sequins for me.
OK...let us know as you test it out. It is super cute and like nothing I have. I like the metallic smoke color. I'm kind of getting tired of the rogue shape and this would be different. I want to make sure it will be usable for me and not just looking pretty on the shelf. We anxiously await your review!If it does leave a spot, since the leather is a darker color I don't think it will be as noticeable as it would be on the light pink. I would be okay with it.

@finer_woman - Thanks for your input!! I think I will use this bag for when I’m shopping and using tote bags because it’ll be handy to keep my phone/wallet/essentials in a small crossbody. Also for concerts and sporting events where big bags aren’t allowed 
I still may keep both, but I have a few weeks to decide before returning one
Good to know that you don’t think it’s too young for me... I asked my hairdresser and she kind of side-eyed the black one, and said it was too busy for her or something like that. She’s only in her 40s so that got me thinking, haha

I like both. I think the black one is a little more fun and the gray is a little more subtle with the rivets. I would personally just keep one and if you like the style enough then get one w/o rivets. Then it will look/feel more like a different bag.
My “I’m a Floridian now, I should own some sandals” purchase...
And the first part of my PCE purchases—water buffalo card cases in black and denim (for my Black Soho and royal blue camera bag), accordion card case in black with colorblock interior (for my gray/black/white colorblock Grace), and a fun-colored clutch, all monogrammed. Extra picture of the denim card case because the outside lighting made it look purple.

Thank you!!
Good plan - I'm still gonna think about it for a few weeks (since that's the return deadline), but you've given me something to think about
