Can you tell me about the color @handygal2? I've watched the video and seen the pictures but first-hand is always best...

@stevieb: Sorry for the delay in replying-- I just got back from dinner. The bag in person is darker than in the Evine representation. It's not coral at all-- it's more of a burnished rust, with darker, subtle shadings on the tooled areas. Here's a photo of mine:

IRL it's darker, and the shadings are more subtle than in the photo.

Thanks @handygal2... I'm trying to hang tough. I really want the navy bag and don't think I want to spend money on both of them... But time will tell if I weaken...

By the way, is there some secret to breaking in patent leather shoes? My only other pair are sandals. On these ones the tongue is kind it stiff and digging in a little. I decided to wear them around the house with socks.

@jaxs mom: Very cute shoes!

So I bought those shoes I've been coveting and they came today, they fit perfectly and are just as cute in person as I thought they were online. Don't worry I don't expect you all to love them as much as I do. Anyway, they are black patent with black satin laces.

Taking tap dancing are ya... or did you join the color guard.

Just playing with you @jaxs mom. They wouldn't be for me, but they're neat looking.

LOL I took tap dancing lessons when I was 5

Of course I am curious to receive my BB items and they are taking FOREVER to get here! One was sent to Chicago and the tracking information says 'forwarded' -- to where? My items never go through Chicago...they come directly to our town! The other items are apparently nowhere near here...but were billed a few days ago. Very frustrating to pay the shipping on each item and then the items take several days to get here! 

---

@EdithEllenLily: The only BB item l ordered -- the vine ring in sapphire-- is still in transit, too. It's at my local post office. I'm hoping it will arrive tomorrow!

---

@handygal2 It should be there tomorrow.

---

@Sister Golden Hair, @EdithEllenLily: It's here! l knew it would be a keeper b/c l have it in citrine in a larger size. This is a different look. While the other is tonal, with the citrines blending with the gold leaves, this one puts more emphasis on the stones. The sapphires are a very dark blue, but they definitely don't look black. I'm very happy with it! EEL, l hope your items arrive today as well!

---

@handygal2 I am so glad your beautiful BB vine ring in sapphire finally arrived and is a winner! Enjoy it and it will be a nice remembrance of your birthday and of shopping with your handbag friends!

Well, after many months of searching, l finally found the "just right" bag for me in the PN Old World Traveler pattern, and at a good price to boot. I can now join the ranks of @stevieb and @Sister Golden Hair. It's the East-West Tote at Evine, clearance priced at 30% off. Happy early birthday to me again.

Okay, I'm confused (no surprise, lol).

Who else here is born in August and did I miss your birthday already?  

Not asking for the birth year, what is the birth date.  Did I miss it already?

Help me out here people, I think I'm posting on too many threads and getting lost in the sauce, rofl.

---

@Bird mama: Next up are the Virgos. I believe @stevieb is late August, I'm early Sept., and then @NycVixen.

---

Happy Birthday to all the Virgos. Mine is at the end of August.

Happy Birthday @NycVixen !! Great to see you! We miss you!
