Actually - I got it last Friday, but I finally packed it. And I was hoping to post pics, but still don't have any.
This is what I got:
Lily, 28" straps, tear-away snap to hold the straps together, zipper closure.
Black geo squares body (this is actually really nice for spring - there's lots of white in the pattern, and it looks very crisp - the picture on the site does not do it justice)
Black base
Hot pink piping
Hot pink interior
Extra pockets. My bag has 8 pockets - 4 with elastic, 4 without. Which is strange- I thought it was a total of 6, 3 are standard, and can add 3.
Straps are black and hot pink.
I should have gone with a slightly less vibrant pink. A medium pink would look nicer, I think.
It is very lightweight - which is a plus for me. I did not get extra interfacing or vinyl, but the bag stands on its own. The straps are a little narrower than other bags - which is a plus for me, since I have narrow shoulders and I finally have a bag where the straps don't keep sliding off. And it's really well-made. Overall, it's a great bag for what I paid ($44).
I'm really glad I got the Lily - the Elaine would definitely have been too small for me. I'm using it for work during the week, so I have all my stuff (papers, lunch bag, ISIS, Filofax etc) and some of DS's stuff in there as well. It was really easy to organize everything.
