Perforated Bag Trend ~ Summer 2012
Bag Bliss15 May 2012 | 12:47 pmWhile browsing the web looking at handbags (what else, right?) today, I started to notice something odd. There are a lot of perforated handbags floating around right now. Is this a new trend or something? If so, I don’t think I received the memo. I guess when I think about perforated bags, I flash back [...] -
PurseForum Reveal: Chanel Classic Flap encrusted in Swarovski Cystal
PurseBlog - Designer Handbag News and Reviews15 May 2012 | 2:00 pmSometimes I spend hours getting lost on the PurseForum.

Olympia Le-Tan Pill Box Brozac Embroidered Twill Shoulder Bag: What the Doctor Ordered?
Bag Snob16 May 2012 | 5:00 amI guess popping a pillbox over your shoulder is better than popping pills all day, but is it really much chicer? Parisian designer Olympia Le Tan hit the big time by converting classic novels, like On the Road, Lolita, and The Catcher in the Rye, into kitsch clutches. Now she’s turned her attention from the bookshelf to the medicine cabinet. Brozac, anyone? It “helps your friends put up with you”! Indeed, her wordplays invite loads of conversational fodder.

Giveaway! “PARTON”- Rachel Zoe Collection:
15 May 2012 | 3:59 pmThe Parton sandal may have a lot of elements going on – snakeskin-texture, a variety of straps, a stacked-wood platform – but it’s as smooth as can be. So smooth, I can see this sandal going anywhere you want it to and blending right in. Think of the Parton as the laidback version of the Bonnie – a chunkier heel means more opportunity for wear, especially in the daytime. It also means a higher level of comfort. I love a heel you can actually wear without your soles aching after ten minutes, and even though this heel will give you nearly 6” of added height, the layered platform means… -
Stark Fierce Clutch: Stark Raving Chic
15 May 2012 | 8:00 amRarely is a bag so suited to its name. No, it doesn’t get any more “fierce” than a flashy power clutch topped with the head of a threateningly sleek panther. The cylindrical shape keeps the look from going to hardcore – it’s fierce, but not entirely unapproachable. This is not your average evening bag. The Stark line, which is founded upon ultra-sparkly, leopard-print boxes and sexed-up cuff straps, reeks of confidence. And I do love a clutch with some conviction. British designer Petra Stunt was inspired to make bags by her favorite artist, the edgy and controversial Tracey Emin… -
Marni Perforated Double Top Handle Bag: Show Me the Marni!
15 May 2012 | 5:00 amIt’s official: Marni is good again. Which is great news for me, not so great for the old pocketbook. Time for a budget adjustment! Their specialty (when they’re on a roll) is super-fun bags I love at first sight – and then forget about not terribly long after purchasing. But just as it goes with men, you know it’s the fast-burning flames that are the most exciting. Like this net-effect top-handle. Despite the manic desire I’m experiencing right now, yes, I would recommend to wait for the sale. Too bad by then, the lust will have surely faded. Luckily, I have reason to believe this… -

Mixed Media: The mash-up is Pre-Fall 2012′s biggest bag trend
15 May 2012 | 10:00 amPre-fall collections are a beautiful thing. Not only do they give us something to talk about, look at and eventually buy during what used to be the awful, seemingly endless summer retail slump, but the clothes and accessories therein also tend to be exceedingly practical and wearable in a way that collections that have to turn heads on a highly publicized runway often aren’t. Pre-fall is like the industry’s best-kept secret for clothes you can wear and enjoy all year. Perhaps that explains why the shipment of Pre-Fall 2012 bags that just arrived at Neiman Marcus are so… -
Nordstrom tops consumers’ list for luxury department stores; which is your favorite?
15 May 2012 | 7:00 amAccording to a recent study by the Luxury Institute, Seattle-based department store Nordstrom is the leading retailer among wealthy American shoppers. The industry research firm surveyed shoppers with household income of $150,000 per year or more for the 2012 Luxury Consumer Experience Index, Women’s Wear Daily reports, and Nordstrom came out on top in a survey that included questions about satisfaction with store personnel, in-store experience and customer satisfaction. For many of you, these findings probably don’t come as much of a surprise. Nordstrom has long been a bastion of… -
An Hermes Evelyne for Mom
14 May 2012 | 4:00 pmEven though I didn’t get to spend Mother’s Day itself with my mom, I had the chance to see her for the entire week before and it was quite the treat. We celebrated early, and I had it in my mind that my mom needed a new handbag that would work with her personal style and that she would be able to carry it for years to come. My mom and I took a drive down to my favorite mall, Bal Harbour Shops in North Miami Beach, to see what the Hermes store had in stock. There were no Birkins or Kellys on the shelves, but that’s not what we were there for. I know my mom’s style. Just…

14 May 2012 | 1:16 pmOlympia Le-Tan never ceases to amaze me. I was first introduced to her collection back in January when I stumbled across some of her novel clutches.

Increasing Public Security With LED Street Lighting
14 May 2012 | 2:53 pmStreet crime remains a problem throughout our country despite a drop in violent crime. A strong police force along with giving potential criminals a chance to be successful elsewhere help to deter them from a life of crime. Street lighting is also a deterrent that works wonders. Criminals prefer to work in areas with limited lighting, as studies have shown. If you want your streets to be well lit and criminals to be sent packing, you have to lobby your government for change. Our leaders must upgrade our lamps with led street lighting to bring about positive change. If we don’t make… -
The Benefits of Sterilex
11 May 2012 | 9:14 pmlisteria control is very important because if uncontrolled, the bacteria can cause serious health problems and even death sometimes. Sterilex, at sterilex.com, has implemented policies of biofilm deletion and biofilm control that are specified to kill listeria and other dangerous pathogens. You know that slime found on anything that isn’t sterilized? That’s biofilm. As per Sterilex, most biocides like chlorine are not effective against the pathogens that live in this sort of slime. But Sterilex’s products can definitely kill biofilm. They include a biocide in their line… -
The Best Playground Rubber Mats from Mat Factory
9 May 2012 | 9:19 amDo you remember the time before playground rubber mats? It might be a painful recollection. A child can end up with many different injuries- broken bones, head injuries, bleeding, and worse- if they accidentally hurt themselves on the equipment at a playground. The ground was typically hard and naked asphalt, which made things much more dangerous. Luckily, installation of playground rubber matting has become common practice. Matfactoryinc.com is the website for Mat Factory. They sell the best products on the market. What makes Mat Factory’s playground rubber mats special is that they… -
Seeking Out Lawn Care in Akron, Ohio
8 May 2012 | 10:22 amKnowing that my parents were going to be coming to visit our house for the first time a few weeks back, I began to get a bit nervous. My husband and I started to survey the house and the work that we had done to make it look like a home, and we realized that the interior looked great, but that the exterior was still lacking. We could pick out paint colors and rugs very successfully, but when it came to caring for the lawn, we came to the conclusion that the job was better left for professionals. It needed to get done before my parents arrived, so my husband took to the computer and looked up… -

Fendi Resort 2013
15 May 2012 | 5:09 pmI had to remind myself that it’s 2012 and that it’s actually time to start looking ahead to 2013 already (if the world doesn’t end in December, that is). Here’s hoping it doesn’t, because Fendi Resort 2013 is really reason enough for the world to keep calm and carry on. It’s all fabulous, and that is not something I normally say about Fendi. Take a peek at some of my favorites! Let’s start safe. The Sequin Baguette is one of the most reliable and familiar bags of the collection. It’s dazzling, thanks to its coat of rust-toned sequins, and… -
Christian Louboutin Sweet Charity Leather Shoulder Bag
15 May 2012 | 3:59 pmThere have been many variations of the best-selling Christian Louboutin Sweet Charity Leather Shoulder Bag (see here, here and here), but this one is by far my favorite. Let’s review: bright turquoise leather, all pristine and aquatic looking, playing host to subtle brown leather trim and light gold hardware. The mental image alone would probably have sold me on it, but fortunately Louboutin did all the imagining for me. I would love to get my hands on this in time for summer! Available for $1495 at NET-A-PORTER. -
Balenciaga Diary Clutch
15 May 2012 | 3:57 pmBe honest, ladies. Would you ever look at this bag and accuse it of being a Balenciaga creation? I sure wouldn’t, which is why the Diary Clutch caught me by such surprise. It’s pretty incredible looking – crisp and polished, with its bright cherry red leather adding plenty of charm to the design without taking away from its versatility. In fact, this could well be the perfect “other” neutral in your wardrobe. It’s what you’d carry in lieu of that boring black clutch or even that played out leopard clutch that’s seen better days. Work this into… -
Anya Hindmarch Canvas Fruit & Veg Tote Bag
15 May 2012 | 3:54 pmWant to go green, but can’t give up the designer bags? The Anya Hindmarch Canvas Fruit & Veg Tote Bag might be a good transitional step for you. This cute canvas and leather tote is just what you need for trips to the store, especially considering the inner zip pocket that can keep your cash, cards, and coupons separate from your edibles. Interpret the fruit print as Carmen Miranda instead of farmer’s market and this purse would even be cute with a casual sundress this summer. It’s $295 at Saks Fifth Avenue. -
Miu Miu Eel Embossed Clutch
15 May 2012 | 3:53 pmAttention, exotic skin lovers! Direct your attention this way, please, and feast your eyes on the new Miu Miu Eel Embossed Clutch. The name says it all, but the bag itself doesn’t scream “crazy animal skin!” like, say, a python clutch would. The smudged, slightly mottled-looking grey eel skin does indeed appear sophisticated, and even more so with the minimal gold hardware adding a touch of polish to the mix. Most impressive about this, though, is the size – it’s one of those oversized day clutches that transitions nicely to evening. Available for $1019 at…
