Sexy Black HandbagHere’s a naughty little hottie that’s not your aunt Hazel’s handbag! As a matter of fact, it comes from a website that would make your aunt Hazel blush. But don’t let her fool you, she’s probably had a little experience with Frederick’s of Hollywood.

That is, of course, where this little sex kitten can be found. After you click the link, you’ll be transported to the website. Once there, find the navigational bar at the top…then hover over Accessories. A menu will be unveiled - find the Handbags & Purses option. Click it for all it’s worth. You’ll land on a page with a couple of handbags…and that’s where you’ll find this beauty.

They actually have only a couple of handbags, but when they’re this hot, who needs more?

While on the site, take a look around - I won’t tell auntie. Check out the beautiful tops and dresses below - they’re just some of the gorgeous pieces from the site. With prom looming on the horizon, one of these dresses and the bag above would make a gal impossible to resist and a guy impossible to ignore….go on, deny it!

Honestly, look at the sexy little tops and the baby doll dresses - this is great stuff. And, get this, just about everything you see below is less than $40….most of them are less than $30. And we all know what that means - more money to buy more things!

Baby Doll Dress Black Sequin Top Sexy blue top

Bow Top Red Dress Red Halter Top

Sexy in Stripes Bi-Colored Top Hot little white dress

Sign me up for one of each. When you get to Frederick’s of Hollywood, look up the handbag first (she’s expecting you), then you can find all the sexy clothes above - and more - under Clothing >>> Night Out on the Town.

(Could the blue top that’s third on the top row be any hotter? No.)

Satin Clutch with RufflesI’ve always liked Fashion Bug for their clothes, but I think they do an EVEN better job finding great looking handbags. Like I’ve said before on this blog (as well as others), what you pay for a purse doesn’t matter. All that matters is the purse - and if it’s a great purse, it’ll be a great purse whether it’s $24 or $240.

By the same token, if it’s a crummy purse, it’ll be a crummy purse whether it’s $240 or $24.

You just can’t judge fashion by its pricetag!

Okay, I’ll step down off of my soapbox long enough to talk about these beautiful clutches. Like I said, they’re from Fashion Bug.com - a fun place to shop and grab some really great deals. These Ruffled Satin Clutch bags with detachable wrist straps are 9″ x 6″ with a zip-top closure and an inside zip pocket.

I love the ruffles almost as much as the beautiful satin shimmer. They’re so sexy and girly!

They’re available in the colors shown, black or silver. At $18, I’d go with the third option….you know, the one that’s always best: Buy one of each.

Booty Billabong ToteThey say Black and White will be really huge this year - I say Black and White is really huge every year.  It’s a combination that’s as incapable of going out of style as chocolate is.

The Booty Billabong Tote staring you in the face, here, is from a sexy little website called Islandsurf.com.  The large cavas tote bag measures 11.25 x 13 x 4 inches, making it perfect for this summer’s trips to the beach, park, pool, tennis court, ballpark, hiking trails, mall…wherever you happening to be finding your fun at the time - the Booty Billabong Tote’s a gamer.

Islandsurf.com also carries the hottest shoes, sunglasses, bikinis, tees, and sandals that summer ever saw. 

The best thing about their website is that it’s like stepping into a Gift Shop in Florida.  It’s cold and rainy where I live right now, so a Floridian Gift Shop sounds like Heaven to me.

To take a closer look at the bag, click one of the text links within this post - then when you hit the Gift Shop Website, enter Booty Billabong Tote in the search box.  And don’t forget to look at their sunglasses.  Everyone’s a little sexier when they’re wearing a great pair of sunglasses.

Sears Heart and Bar Link BraceletThe beautiful Heart and Bar Link Bracelet from Sears is on sale for only $47.99 - given that it’s normally $119.99, we have 72 reasons to grab one.

 Hmmm, or 144 reasons to buy two….. (Don’t make that face, husband dear, I’m only sort of kind of maybe kidding).

This beautiful sterling silver bracelet with heart and bar links is 7-1/2 in. long and has a toggle closure.  It’s available on the other side of the link below.  While you’re on the Sear’s website, you really should look around at their other pieces of Jewelry.  There are a lot of bargains to be had.  I think maybe they’re parting with some of the lovelies that are left over from Valentine’s Day.

Here’s a link directly to the Heart Bar Link Bracelet

Here’s one for the front of the Jewelry Department.

Enjoy!



Halle BerryOne of my favorite actresses (and a personal fashion idol) Halle Berry recently wowed them at the Ebony pre-Oscar Celebration on February 22, 2007.  Gorgeousness, you’ve met your perfect match!

The hair, the earrings, the dress, Halle, everything’s perfect - but the bracelet steals the show…from everything except Halle, of course.  This is one of the most beautiful bracelets I’ve ever seen.  By all means, click the picture to see the HQ version.

I’m trying to find out exactly who’s responsible for this amazing piece of jewelry.  There’s a designer out there who has earned the status a of gem god.  And I’d just like to thank him/her, that’s all.

Roberto Cavalli Bag

I love the simplicity and strength of this Roberto Cavalli clutch.  It and the model carrying it were part of the hugely successful Fashion week in Milan.

I love the way she’s carrying the purse - with her fingers inside the strap, so we can see the beautiful details.  Smart girl.  Beautiful bag.



These guys are so adorable, they need no introductions.  Click for the HQ pictures.

Prada Bag
I don’t know if I’m more interested in this purse as a purse whore or an animal lover - part of me wants to buy it, the other part wants to name it.

This beautiful, fuzzy Prada bag made it’s appearance in Milan recently during the infamous Fashion Week.  I’ve been looking through hundreds of pictures for days, now and am awestruck by the number of really great bags this year. 

Something else that stands out to me is the fun footwear that’s hot right now.  Check out the knee highs and shoes to the left. Love them.  Having said that, this look just won’t be for everyone - but when the legs and the footwear are made for one another, it’s a glorious thing.  But when the wrong legs find themselves in the wrong footwear - catastrophe of the highest order….all the confidence and swagger in the world won’t save us from that. 

 Lesson?  They make full length mirrors for a reason.

The coat, I have to admit - I could do without.  But the rest - I’m totally on board with. Click the t-nail for the HQ version.

Giorgio Armani worked his magic during Fashion Week in Milan.  Below are three great bags that made the strut down the runway.   Glamour is back and long overdue.  Click each t-nail for the HQ version.

The arm splendor in the second picture is too hot to even acknowledge.  Let’s ignore it.

Loungefly Black And White Skull Bandana Bag
This black handbag by Loungefly is sexy and it knows it.  It owns it and it likes it. 

The bag features an allover white heart, skull and crossbones bandana print and a zip closure. Skull and crossbones continue to be a huge deal, and they probably will be for some time.

 A matching coin purse is included in addition to inside zip and pouch pockets.  It seals the deal with a Black with white skulls lining.

The   Loungefly Black And White Skull Bandana Bag  is 12″x7″ and can be bought online by clicking either the link above or the picture to the right.

Some Hot Topic stores also carry this bag - so if you’re lucky enough to have a Hot Topic store in a mall near you, you might want to check them out first.  Besides, that way you get to meet the people who work there.  I swear, some of the coolest, most deliciously off beat people in the world work at Hot Topic stores.
