Get a load of these Tyvek Market Bags from Uncommon Goods.com (a BIG, BiG, BIG favorite of mine).

From the website:

We’ve all been there: rushing to work or home with a shopping bag full of food, clothes, magazines or whatever, and the bag bottoms out spilling its contents everywhere. Those irksome days can soon be over with these brilliant bags created by Marian Schoettle that have the design and look of an ordinary shopping bag but are made of ultra-durable Tyvek, a synthetic material made of high-density polyethylene fiber. Tyvek can not be easily ripped and is waterproof (the Post Office uses envelopes made of it) so these bags have the lightness of a paper bag with the strength of steel.

Part of the fun of these bags is that they are so unexpected; They look like they can rip at any moment and it is always surprising that they don’t. Since they pack flat and are so light, they are great for travel or for putting inside another bag. Their ability to hold so much weight makes them ideal for trips to the market, as carry-ons or everyday transportation of items. Plus, you can write or draw on them to personalize them. Available in large or medium in paper-bag brown or deep navy blue. Sold individually.

Lindsay Lohan is officially out of rehab now and facing life in the real world.  I wish her all the best.  I would imagine that recovering from an addiction is hard enough without the world watching and, let’s be honest, just waiting for you to mess up again.

My fingers are crossed for Lindsay!

She looks pretty darned great - love the outfit she’s put together, especially the Rebecca Minkoff Morning After Bag.  I’m one of those people who travels “heavy” - it seems like I’m always carrying half of my house around with me.  So, for me, the bigger the bag/the better the bag. 

Lindsay’s boots are pretty fierce in their own right!  Great look.

Victoria Beckham Style CZ Cocktail Ring - green
A lot of people are quick to answer “Victoria Beckham” (or “Posh Spice’) when asked to name one of their style icons.  She’s a great one, you can’t argue that.  The lady’s always amazingly put-together and…well…posh.

Since I pretty much have an obsession with accessories, I notice her handbags, jewelry, belts, scarves, watches, shoes - things like that - as much as I do the gorgeous clothes and trendy hairstyles.  Okay, the hairstyles I notice just as much.

Posh, (like Jessica Simpson, Keira Knightley, Kimora, Tyra…) is brilliant when it comes to jewelry. I love her taste muchly.

The Victoria Beckham Style CZ Cocktail Ring - green, above, features a large central 19ct imitation emerald CZ, double prong set, flanked on either side with 0.25ct diamond-like CZ baguettes and surrounded by 0.03ct pave set round cut stones. The pave set stones extend halfway down the side of the ring, so you can bling at every angle!

That was a mouthful, but I love that last part - you know, the “bling at every angle” bit. Yeah, sign me SO UP for that.
