I understand them as an evening bag, but do I need to have a lavalier on an evening bag? I think not.

I am in shock about how much the price has gone up on a couple things - of course, the things I've been wanting! I definitely have to sell the pin-ring I have now, before I can justify getting a new one. Does anyone know someone who has the ring or pendant that you can put your pin on, or take it off? I'm SO worried that I'd lose it, but I'd really prefer to do it that way than the permanant way.

Especially with my friends having legacies right & left!!

Honey,
I have the ring--got it for Christmas last year. It's very sturdy and the pin is tightly held on the ring. I took it apart one time, just to see if I could, and it was slightly difficult to do. I was worried about the pin falling off too, but am convinced that I have nothing to worry about. And it looks really pretty on my finger too! If I can remember, I'll take a picture of it (it's the plain badge, but looks very elegant I think).

That's good news! The one I want to have made into a ring is plain with the pearl points. The one I want to sell has pearls with ruby points - but it will NOT go on ebay!

That would make a pretty ring I think......

Is it just me or has GM really upped its quality and selection since we started discussing the need for more diverse products? :)

You should have seen the selection at convention. There was definitely A LOT of new and cute stuff that were targeted to both older and younger sisters. I think those bags are probably geared to the older group who might want to showcase their sorority but in a more subtle way...still not a fan I definitely was a little confused when I saw them at convention because the lavalieres were not obviously displayed so they just looked like random black and pink bags. I think there were some flip flops from that same line and I dont even recall seeing the lavaliere on those.

I like to think so! :D

My roommate at Convention bought one of those big flowered tote bags but it was azure (bright) blue, the last one they had. Being blue made it alot more ADPi-like and it was cuter in person.

Not my taste regardless of color, but that picture doesn't do them justice. Although the pink and black are odd color choices for ADPi IMHO.

I designed those bags.

Seriously? Do you design accessories, too? What don't you do?!

Well, I DIDN'T pick out the colors, LOL!!!:D

See, I just LOVED these this summer:

So, can you picture the big rose evening purse with similar shoes?! :)

You know, the more I look at these, the more I like them - especially the middle-sized one! I can see it especially for a wedding or such.

BBelle, did you really design these, or are you pulling our collective legs?

Lord no, girl, it was a joke!:)

Rats!! I was thinking we had the next Kate Spade in our ranks!!! :)
