Filed Under (Gloves, Marc Jacobs, Runway Models) by Joi on 22-02-2007

Marc Jacobs GlovesGorgeous model, sexy hat, great clothes….and all upstaged by a killer pair of gloves.

When I first saw the pictures, the gloves actually didn’t do a thing for me, but the longer I looked at them…..the more I warmed up to them.  By the time I got to the fourth pic, the fires of love were burning.

They’re one of those accessories that put everyone on notice:  The wearer is confident, fashionable, and yes, a few steps ahead of you.

Click on any of the pictures to see the HQ versions.  HQ take longer to load, but they let you see the details so much better.  Check out the buttons on the inside of the arms.  Very hot.

I’ll try, whenever possible, to provide names for the models who appear in the pictures I use on this blog - but I’m afraid I’m off to a bad start here.  I have no idea what this lovely girl’s name is.  When I find out, I’ll edit this post!

Playboy HandbagThis Jewel Bunny Handbag  is too sexy for its own good. 

The Black PVC handbag has a ridiculously cute studded Rabbit Head and chain link handle.   Measuring 5″ x 8″ x 2″, it’s the perfect size for taking along on a sexy night out.

If you click on the picture, or the link above, you’ll land on a page that’ll show you a few more Playboy bags.  There’s a pink hobo bag with a matching change purse that would turn more heads than the magazine, itself.  Okay, maybe not more, but you get the idea.

While on the website, Shopping the Bunny, be sure to check out the Rock the Rabbit T-Shirts, the shoes, the clothes, and whatever you do - look at the lip gloss.  If you’re addicted to the stuff like I am, you’ll love it. 

One of the things that really surprised me is the fact that Shopping the Bunny isn’t only fun, it’s VERY reasonable.  The bag pictured here is less than $15, the high quality lipgloss is less than $10, and there’s a particularly sexy white Rocker Cowboy hat with a gold guitar design (over the bunny) that’s just $34 (linked courtesy of the beauty below).  They also have a lot of clothes that you have to see to believe.  Great Stuff!

Francesco Biasia Shoulder BagYou’ll see a lot of Francesco Biasia bags on this blog, as they’re a personal favorite. There’s something that’s elegant and timeless about a Biasia bag - and built to last?  Forget about it, the bags will outlive their owners.

From the website:

This light and breezy satchel style shoulder bag is a must have for spring. Made of luxurious raffia with rich reptile embossed leather trim. Platform bottom. Top magnetic snap closure. Interior lining with multifunctional slip pockets and a center zip divider. 15 3/4” wide x 5 1/4” deep x 10” high. Shoulder drop: 12” length.

These bags are usually between $200 and $300.  When you consider that you’re buying a bag that’ll be with you for two forevers, you realize that it’s money very, very well spent.

For more information, as well as a closer look or two or twenty, see the

Adina Snake Bracelet
Whoa - two bracelet posts in a row?  Where’s the variety in that?! 

Sorry, thrill seekers, I just couldn’t resist when I saw this sexy little bracelet.  I don’t pretend to be a fan of snakes - even toy snakes send me screaming for cover - but in the world of fashion, these guys couldn’t be much hotter.

This particular bracelet is the Adina Snake Bracelet from Pink Mascara.  Made of sterling silver, the bangle measures 2 - 1/2 inches across and is 8 inches in length.

The website offers a couple of matching Adina Snake Necklaces - pretty hot in their own right.  Clicking the link above will gain you access to all the jewelry and all the snakes you can charm.

Show Girl Bracelet Watch
Now here’s a watch that’s living the Glamorous life - Flossy Flossy.  Is this gorgeous or what?  I’ve spent more days than I’d ever care to count poking around in the world of jewelry, handbags, perfume and all things girl-y - but I’ve never seen a watch quite like this one.

Maybe it’s because cats are another great passion of mine, but I absolutely love this bracelet watch.  I’m even wild about the name:  The  Show Girl Bracelet Watch.

Indeed!

The signature cat is outlined in crystals on tiger eye texture degrade dials in pink.  The crown has matching color cabochon inset.

Just look at how shiny and elegant this piece is - can’t you picture it with a great black or white top or dress? - Something somewhat understated because this would be the showstopper.  Exactly what you’d expect from a Bracelet Watch that goes by the name Show Girl.

Click through the link above to take a closer look.  The closer you look, the better it looks.

The sexiness you see before you is the Francesco Biasia “Ring of Fire” Hobo Bag from Macy’s.  Made of rich leather, this Hobo Bag features a canvas web belt with brasstone chain, lock and accents.

It’s available online in Black or white, but I’ve actually seen a hot orange version in stores.

I’m sure the name and looks are a dead giveaway, so you already know this purse doesn’t come cheaply.  But as I’ll say frequently on this blog, you get what you pay for and you pay for what you get.  You want a great bag that’ll last years and years - and announces to the world that you have style and taste in great abundance, right? 

 Features:

  • Contrast stitching accents.
  • Top magnetic closure.
  • Treaded bottom.
  • Interior zip pocket, cell phone pocket and open pocket.
  • Handle with 10-inch drop.
  • Logo-printed lining.
  • 9″ H x 15″ W x 8″ D.

Tennis BraceletsTennis bracelets are a favorite of mine.  I think it’s because they’re pretty, sparkly and feminine - a lethal trio.   The BIRTHSTONE COLOR TENNIS BRACELET from AVON is  Birthstone-colored glass in a classic silvertone setting. 7″L with 1″ extender.

Although they’re birthstone colors, I see absolutely nothing wrong with combining them to make a gorgeous statement like the model in the picture.  Especially since they’re priced at 2 for $20!

AVON jewelry lasts forever - I have pieces that my mother got, like 100 years ago.  They simply do no tear up, change colors or run away from home. 

AVON Night Magic Lotion Something else I love about AVON is that they’re a large patch of Americana - their logo, alone, stirs up nothing but great memories and sweet nostalgia.  Going through brochures with my mom, grandmother and aunt, trying every perfume they’ve EVER thrown out, as well as every lotion, cream, eyeshadow, and nail polish.  Oh, the nail polish!  I’ve spent a small fortune on nail polish alone. The Perfumed Skin Softener to the left (NIGHT MAGIC EVENING MUSK PERFUMED SKIN SOFTENER 5OZ141G) is another staple, as is SOFT MUSK Eau de Cologne Spray Soft Musk Perfume.

I love Bath and Body Works - especially the Japanese Cherry Blossom scent - but it seems to me that AVON lasts even longer.  I’m not sure why, to be honest, but AVON will last two forevers - even though I use it just as often as the other brands.

I think each product comes with little fairies that refill the bottle each night.

Much appreciated, little bottle-filling fairies, much appreciated.

Avon Coin PurseThis adorable little change purse is the mark. Kisslock Coin Purse, from Avon.  It’s a two tone vinyl coin purse with vinyl lining.  It measures 3 1/2″ H x 4″ W, making it perfect to carry in your pocket when jogging, biking, playing tennis…you know, all the things we SHOULD be doing more of.

The best thing about this coin purse isn’t even it’s “Awwww” factor.  The coin purse only costs $6.00, and Avon will give $4.00 of this to the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade to help fund research to find a cure.  So, girls, you basically are getting a coin purse for $2.00 while making a $4.00 donation to a worthy…a very, very, very worthy cause. 

I know what you’re thinking, and you’re right - you should buy one for every female you care about.

Colorful Creations DP16 Shimmer (Women's) - Gold ShimmerLook at this beauty!  The Colorful Creations DP16 Shimmer (Women’s) - Gold Shimmer is a very unique and elegant throwback to the glamour and beauty of Hollywood in the 40’s and 50’s.

Adorned with rhinestones, it features a classic sillouette and interchangeable, versatile carrying straps.

These gorgeous little purses are available in Silver Shimmer and Gold Shimmer (Shown here.) 

While they would be perfect to have on hand for a variety of occasions, I can’t help thinking that they exist for the sole purpose of prom nights and other formal events.  They’re all dressed up and looking so snazzy - it’d be a shame not to take them someplace extra nice.

Colorful Creations DP94 Shimmer (Women's) - Pewter Shimmer
This bag is the dramatic cousin of the bag in the last post.  A basic black purse is as important to one’s wardrobe as a basic black skirt.  In fact, when I first saw this gorgeous  Colorful Creations DP94 Shimmer (Women’s) - Pewter Shimmer, my inner diva immediately paired it up with my own black skirt and a 3/4 sleeve length black and white blouse.

Finished off with a great pair of black pumps… or unexpected sexy red shoes (with equally sexy red jewelry), and it’s out the door to see what we can all get into!
