Old Navy has a pretty hot selection of purses - and they’re always on top of whatever trend’s going on at the time. Gotta love that. Some stores….I won’t name names, but they know who they are…. have such out-dated purses that you feel like you’re in a time warp. The purse to the left is one of the Old Navy Women’s Jersey Hobo Bags. From the website: Broad stripes add jaunty appeal to this slouchy jersey hobo. A knotted strap, magnetic snap closure and woven interior with zippered compartment complete the look. 15 1/2″L x 2″W x 10 1/2″H, with 10″ strap drop. They’re available in red, blue, green, and yellow.
I’m easy to spot in public, I’m the gal with plenty of bracelets looking around everywhere for a clock. Every now and again, however, along comes a bracelet that’s so spectacularly gorgeous that you wouldn’t dare pair it with anything. The diva of bracelets above is a 14K 8.25 CTW Diamond Cuff Bracelet from a website with more divas than Hollywood: allé Fine Jewelry Take a look around allé Fine Jewelry
Product Description: Rose gold tone cuff bangle with white inlay. White glossy background with rose gold applied indexes. I know I’ve seen a watch just like this on JLo before, I just can’t find the picture in my files. She wore a Grecian-type dress with this watch, if memory serves as well as I think it does. The spectacular Sabina sunglasses would complete the perfect ONE - TWO punch. I’m usually not that into sunglasses…I save my fashion passion for handbags, shoes, jewelry, and, clothes - but these pretty much blow me away. They could convert me all by themselves.
Description Check out the website asap - not only is there an amazing amount of ridiculously gorgeous jewelry, JLo has several sexy lingerie items, hot shoes, swimsuits and we all know that her fragrances can’t be beaten. She keeps churning out the best, one after the other. I don’t know how she does it - She’s as brilliant as she is gorgeous, I guess.
95 percent of my wardrobe is pink, purple, and/or white, so I know the one I’ll have to have first. But I’ll move on to the other two soon enough. I want the green one in time for St. Patrick’s Day. How sweet would that be? They’re from the Dooney & Bourke Collection at macys.com To take a closer look at these cuties, after you click the macy’s link above, type Dooney & Bourke Mini Bubbles in the search box. The search results will serve you up not only the Bucket Bags (above) but also the entire collection (below!). In order - starting at the left: The Dooney & Bourke Mini Bubbles Small Satchels, The Dooney & Bourke Barrel Bags, The Dooney & Bourke Medium Wristlets, and The Dooney & Bourke Flap Wristlet (also available in green and yellow).
Dated: (March 3, 2007) If you act really, really fast, you can order one or all of these purses and pay absolutely nothing for shipping. Macy’s having a special deal this weekend on their handbags and shoes - if you order by March 4, 2007, shipping is free. Too late? Not a problem. They’re worth it!
And now I’m on a mission to see every movie the lady’s ever done. On the fashion front, it recently happened to me with a designer - Elliott Lucca. I was pouring over the pages in the March 2007 edition of People Stylewatch when I saw one of his bags (”Socialite”) - a gorgeous woven leather satchel that lived up to its name. It looks like something Jackie O or Princess Diana would have carried. (Pictured at the left.) The “Socialite” Dr. Satchel comes in two colors - Light Camel with Chestnut or the one shown here, Natural with White. The website described her this way: “This stylish satchel lends a moneyed feel to any outfit and is uber chic in soft woven leather finished with signature gold hardware and a frame covered in waxed cord.” I love that, “…lends a moneyed feel..” - that’s exactly a phrase I’ve often looked for when describing special purses. All I’ve ever been able to come up with were words like, “rich,” “glammed up,” –things like that. But, “…lends a moneyed feel…” I like that! And I love the purse they were used on. To see the other available color, and alternate views, see Elliott Lucca’s Socialite Dr. Satchel The floral beauty at the top of the post is the LUCCA FLORAL DR. SATCHEL. When I first saw this bag, I think my heart skipped a beat. Okay, several beats. This is one of the all-time most gorgeous bags ever. She lets everyone know that you take pride in your fashion, in your look, and in yourself. And she’s waiting on the website - just in time for Spring! (Lucca Floral Doctor Satchel) These are, of course only two of the gorgeous purses in the collection. You HAVE to visit Elliott Lucca.com and see the rest. I’m headed back there, myself, right now. I won’t get anything done today - I can tell already.

I thought you might like to take a look at one of the most breathtaking bracelets in the world. I’ve probably mentioned on this blog before that I collect certain accessories: Purses, bracelets, and earrings. I love all jewelry, but these are definitely my obsessions. I love the look of multiple bracelets and/or bangles working together to pull off something special. I usually pair up between 2 and 4 on each arm. I stopped wearing a watch long ago so I could have more real estate for my beloved bracelets.
Product Description:
These lovelies are about as ready for Spring as I am - and for fellow Grammar Heads, I know Spring doesn’t actually have to be capitalized, but after freezing for two months - anything that brings warmth with it is gets special treatment from this cold-natured blogger.
You know how it is when you “meet” a new actor or actress in a movie, fall in love with them and then realize you have to see everything they’ve ever been in? That’s how it was for me and Angelina Jolie. I’d always thought she was just some ridiculously beautiful face that happened to make movies. Then I saw her in Girl, Interrupted and realized that she’s a scary good actress.
