I can't wait - was about to order the lips one elsewhere on saturday for full price and had all 4 for just less than the cost of that one alone would have cost me.
 
For once my money is safe! None of these are my style. However, they're all very unique and interesting! A very good offer and will make excellent xmas gifts.
 
Eva is here!! Just arrived, 7.45pm!! She is definitely a keeper. I am so glad I went for red, although I will be keeping an eye out for the black too.

Ooh exciting! Does the long strap hang neatly when adjusted to different lengths? (Hard to describe, I mean if you have it on a shorter length does the excess strap stay in line with the strap? I hope that makes sense..been a long day!)

That make sense!! I haven't tried the strap yet, but I will shortly and report back ;-) At the moment it has pride of place on the fireplace across from me, so I can glance up and admire from time to time, ha ha!! I will take it upstairs and prance around a bit now. It does have a little mark on the front and a faint scratch, but nothing major. I have sent so many patent bags back in the past due to scratches, but this isn't going anywhere!! Someone once told me that Lulu G HQ once advised her to wipe very gently with non-acetone nail varnish remover. I tried this on my ivory Jenny and it worked - wooh!

Are you enjoying Fifi still?! It is gorgeous, but out of the two Eva would get more use. It's sad being sensible :-(

i went for the following white/gold cameo, the red lips, the black/silver charm watch and the black icon one

Out of them all I liked the white and gold cameo too! Disappointed that the strap is silicone whereas most of the others are leather though :-(

i have a few other silicone strapped watches and find them soo easy to wear, personally i find they a more lightweight and don't stick to my wrist like leather if i'm busy and get warm - hope that makes sense.

That's interesting. I haven't worn either leather or silicone for years. I do like the white/rose gold combo.

Answer - yes!! It's still a little bit 'curly' from being coiled up but I think with a little teasing it will be perfect! I tried it half way and at the shortest length. And I took photos for you!! Please excuse the pyjamas and state of undress! I tried not to get too much cleavage in too, ha ha!! I think I'll be ok, they're not too obscene! ! Had the strap at the back and then thought "how am I going to photo that?"

for me personally i find it difficult the metal straps as i have such small wrists (just under 7inches) that its hard to find one that fits and won't slide right off my wrist.

Brilliant! Glad I made sense, and even more glad to see you have posted some pics to confirm your findings! That's really great of you, thanks MK :mysmilie_59: It's lovely to see you are delighted with your Eva! Does the red have the black and white stripe lining or the lips?

Oh, I'm in such a quandary! I love Fifi, I really do, but the question is - do I love it more because it was on offer at £170? Price per wear for the Eva would definitely work out lower in the long rung as I would use it more often, but I have lots of (non lulu) bags similar to Eva, whereas I have nothing as glam and spectacular as Fifi. It's tough being a woman isn't it? Ha ha!
 
Wow, skinny wrists!! Mine is only just over 6 inches but I always have to get my metal straps adjusted. I currently wear a rose gold Michael Kors that hubby bought for my 40th, so it's on day in day out! However, as always, I have changed my mind and decided to order 2 (one for me to save taking the MK on hols), one for mum's xmas gift) of the white/rose gold cameo watches!! It was too good a bargain to miss really wasn't it? And if she is no longer making watches, it will be good to have one in the collection. Or 4 if you're CallmeQ :mysmilie_59: haha!

5 now :mysmilie_50: told my son about them and he allowed me to pick another for christmas - thats why you have kids right? :mysmilie_13:
 
Oh Ellaaa - what a dilemma!!! Can I help? Hmm... if I went out more often than I do, I would be swayed by the Fifi. However, a large part of me ordered as it was on offer too. And, like I said, I don't know if I could cope with it on a night out. A sober one maybe, but after a few I'd be wanting to put it down!! The Eva can be used more as an every day bag. Not that you would take it to work (well you could, but it's too small for my job), but it would make an excellent bag to wear at the weekend with jeans/leggings - I love a bit of glamour with an everyday outfit!! I would also happily take this on a night out. But, if you have similar ones there may not be much point.

(I am going to point out, however (ducking for cover) that they'll never be as special as a Lulu!!!) :mysmilie_11:

Ahem, anyway, back on topic.....go with your gut instinct. I have fancied the Eva since it came out but never thought I'd get use out of it. For some reason lately my opinion has changed, then the easy pays swayed it.

It has the gorgeous black/stone stripe lining. It is absolutely beautiful!! I can't wait to use it. Oh, my poor mink Jenny may have to take a back seat this weekend. Then all the others....how are we supposed to wear them all?!! Ha ha! So many bags, so little time :mysmilie_15: I think I'll have that as my epitaph!!

Omg!! Fab!! Which other have you gone for?!! I also liked the nude sort of colour leather strap with the rose gold watch face, thankfully though it has sold out!!!
