Hello, beautiful!  The gorgeous bag above is the Sugar Plums Solstice Handbag.  Solstice - the time of the year for new beginnings….they couldn’t have chosen a much cooler name.  It fits the bag perfectly.

Solstice is a high-volume, high-value bag featuring hand-applied metal decors on a black body front with a hand-beaded grid design on the back. The detachable embellished strap and hand-clasp grip add a dimension of user choice. The interior features a key strap, cell phone pocket, and zip wallet. The roomy side and bottom gussets are embellished with metal beads and beaded decors.

Clearly a very special fashion piece to add to your own unique and stylish wardrobe! A perfect bag to carry over the shoulder for day and with its self-handle at night.

Is this adorable or what?! It’s the Butterfly Handbag Night Light and it had me from hello.

This ridiculously charming and delightfully unique nightlight is fashioned in a pink handbag design.  It’s made of wire and cotton and stands 10 1/2 inch x 5 1/4 inch x 12 inch high.

It even comes with its own bulb, how thoughtful is that?

If you’re as obsessed with handbags as I am, I know you’ve already, mentally, placed this little beauty on your dresser.  It’s so girly and adorable!

It’s just absolutely gorgeous! 

It’d make a great start!

I’m afraid that I’m such a pack rat that I’d need one of these Handbag Organizers in every room of my house to organize all my purses and handbags, but this would be ideal to organize the ones I rotate the most. 

I recently bought a huge clear plastic container to keep my handbag collection in on the top shelp in my closet.  But it’s a total and complete headache to hoist it up and down when I want to change up the bag I’m carrying.

This organizer would be perfect to keep my absolute favorite ones handy.

Purses (along with bracelets) are one of my biggest weaknesses…hence the blog, right?  I see at least one handbag I want every single day.  If they’re a weakness of your’s as well, you know that organizing them is a lot more trouble than buying them. 

This may just be the solution that’ll free us up to purchase more!

From the Website:

Stylish organizing system! Convenient organizer holds up to 7 handbags with easy snap closures. Hang on a wall or door to create more shelf or closet space. 39 1/2″ H x 4″ W. Non-woven polypropylene.

It’s under $10, so getting several would be just plain economical….then, of course you’d need to go out and buy more bags to hand on the empty spaces, right? 

That’s just plain sweet. 

Betty Boop was bringing sexy back long before anyone else knew it was missing.

She is, without a doubt, one of the most fetching and adorable cartoon icons ever.  I dunno, I just love her attitude - and what a mean little figure.

The HERE’S A KISS BETTY BOOP WATCH IN TIN is from Avon.com - one of my favorite online destinations.

Anyone would love to open this for Valentine’s Day or any other day.  If you can’t think of anyone to give it to, there’s always Plan B:  Buy it for yourself.

Plan B never fails to put a smile on my face.

Rachel Leigh is known for her bold, feminine pieces that are classically inspired with a decadent touch.

Rachel Leigh Snake Bangle in Gold is a flashy, simple bangle that will soon be joining my jewelry collection. The sinister cobra wraps around the wrist with a tantalizing sparkle, thanks to the engraved snake skin pattern.

 This little heartbreaker is from a web site I’ve recently fallen head over arms in love with.  I just spent half an hour oooohing and ahhhhing over their accessories - from a sexy little red Carla Mancini Clutch to drop dead gorgeous bangles and necklaces.  I lost count of things I “Must, must, must” have.

When I left the accessories, I checked out the tees - equally amazing.  A True Religion tee stuck out as one that will definitely be moving into my closet.  Around the time I get my hot little hands on the bangle and clutch.  Soon, my pretties…..soon. 

About the Carla Mancini Clutch:

Carla Mancini’s fabulous handbags are made of the finest Italian leather and fuse a variety of influences to create truly envious designs. The irresistible Small Clutch with Front Lock and Chain in Red is a sophisticated little bag with a modern chain strap. The bag is dressy enough for night and casual enough for day, making it the perfect bag for a girl on the go. Luscious leather and the feminine twist lock closure makes the bag stand out.

I’ve always loved Kimora Lee Simmons, but never more than right now.  As someone who adores animals, I have a special place in my heart for people who also embrace them. 

The beautiful fashion empress/reality TV star is going au naturel  for a gorgeous new, eye-catching campaign for PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals).

Kimora, dolled out in angel wings, no less, and holding her adorable dog, Zoe, demonstrates her desire for people to make dogs a part of their families-and not leave them tied up outside or cooped up at home alone all day. “You cannot just chain up an animal,” Simmons said. “The chains are heavy, it’s cruel. Dogs need to run and play.”

Kimora  urges people to do whatever they can to help neglected backyard dogs. “Everybody should do the best they can, because a lot of little ‘best-you-cans’ add up to a lot of saved animals.”

According to a PETA spokesperson, the campaign was launched to coincide with national Unchain a Dog Month, which is observed every January.

Kimora Lee Simmons has donated more than $20,000 to PETA to help severely underprivileged dogs living in low-income, rural areas. “Thanks to her generosity, more than 100 dogs have received sturdy, weather-tight doghouses with a shade overhang for summer, straw bedding, toys, and new collars and harnesses,” the rep said. “Simmons’ funding of PETA’s program provides not only truckloads of houses but also staff to deliver them, truck rental and gas, and the equipment to dig up fences and posts that commonly tangle dogs’ tethers.”

If the wings she’s wearing look familiar, there’s a reason.  They were designed by Martin Izquierdo, the same designer who made Victoria’s Secret’s ads so famous.  Well…he helped make them famous.  There were the models’ contributions, of course.
The wings were, thankfully, made out of 100 percent cruelty-free materials.

This beautiful Clava Oversized Tote  - Vachetta Green is from the same amazing web site the last purse I posted about is from.  You remember the hot little black purse with the chain and silver trim?  I knew you’d remember it.  It’s a sexy little beast…

But this post is about another hottie.  I’ve totally become obsessed with all of the shades of green lately.  Years ago, it was the one color I kind of avoided.  I think it’s because my grandmother’s house was decorated almost entirely in green (it was, like THE color in the 70s) - so whenever I saw green, I’d think of her.  Don’t get me wrong, I love Granny dearly…but do I want to wear clothes or carry bags that reflect her?  Nah..

BUT, lately green has become one of the hottest colors on the planet.  Not only does it represent the idea of protecting our environment and wild life, it conjurs up images of countless runway models bringing its shades to life.  The hottest stars are also wearing greens…and wearing them well.

It has actually gotten to the point that when I see the color green I think “stylish” and “in.”

The amazing Vachetta Green Tote, above, will beautifully compliment all the hottest clothes in style.  It’ll also earn its keep by toting around all the things we busy gals need on a day to day basis!

Small and sexy - the first two words I thought of when I saw this La Regale Evening Purse. 

The chain strap and the beading had me from “Hello,” but the little silver trimming is the thing that made me fall head over arms.

The chain strap can be removed to convert it into a clutch - that’d look pretty sexy, too. 

The purse is available in three colors:  black (mine, mine, it’s all mine!), tan, and silver.  Click the link or the purse, itself to take a closer look.

Someone who purchased the little lovely left a review that said, “No dislikes at all. I really like the purse and it is exactly what I wanted.”

And that’s pretty much all I need to know…
