This is one great looking diaper bag!  I remember when they only came in two varieties:  Ugly and Really Ugly. 

The Baby Einstein ABC Diaper Bag is from Disney Shopping.com and would make any stylish mother proud. It’s roomy enough to carry everything your baby could possibly hope for, with outside pockets on each end for the bottles of goodness that she’s really concerned about!

Outside flap pocket with self-stick fabric closure features embroidered textural art - this is what really sets it apart from all the other diaper bags.  The pictures are positively adorable and eye-catching for your own little adorable work of art.

This is also pretty cool:  There’s an opposite side slot pocket with self-stick fabric closure which conveniently holds a wipe-clean changing pad.  How tidy’s that?

The bag measures Bag 11” H z 14 1/2” W 6 1/2” D. Pad 11 1/2” W x 20 1/2” L and is fully lined.

If you’re as into Italian Charms as you should be, you’ll want to check out a new web site I recently came across.  They have endless beauties that are high in quality and, perhaps even better, extremely original and sexy.  One of my favorites is the Pugster Faith Hope Love Italian Charm (above) -  I love it’s attitude, for one thing.  For another, it’s so beautifully colorful, I know it’s as ready for summer as I am.

Click either the beautiful picture at the top of the post or the link above to see the endless selections.  You’ll be impressed, this I promise.

I know I don’t post nearly enough men’s products on this blog.  I guess the reason is partly because my own man doesn’t wear anything other than his wedding ring….uh, I mean he doesn’t wear any jewelry besides his wedding ring. When we first got married he wore a great looking watch, but when he was bitten by the technology bug (like no one has been bitten before), everything else flew out the back door - watches, golf clubs, fishing poles, skateboards, etc.  When he wants the time now, he looks at his phone.

I think a lot of men have gotten to that point.  Fortunately, there are still plenty who realize there’s a lot of fun to be had from flaunting your style with your accessories. 

The Gametime Denver Nuggets Sapphire Watch lets you not only flaunt your style, but your favorite team as well.  Needless to say, the watch is available with the other NBA team logos if the Nuggets aren’t your team of choice.  They even have the Knicks, who could use all the support they could get right now.  And prayers.  And miracles as a result of those prayers….

Features:
Solid stainless steel case and bracelet
Synthetic sapphire crystal design
Quartz analog movement
Water resistant up to 5 ATM
Officially licensed with official team graphics
Limited lifetime manufacturer’s warranty

CLick through to see the larger picture, as well as the other teams available.  This is one handsome watch.

If you thought the Hermes crocodile-skin and diamond-encrusted Birkin bags were outrageous, you might faint when you hear about the Ginza Tanaka handbag. This metallic Tokyo beauty in platinum is studded with 2,182 diamonds. That’s a total of 208 carats in all with an alarming 1.63 million price tag.

If you are hankering for a diamond purse, there are many different designs to choose from that all have unique styles. Some are metallic, like the Ginza Tanaka and others rely on exotic animal skin, like snake or lizard, to set them apart from the rest. Some are even made with stingray leather.

Diamond-embellished purses go great with diamond jewelry. You don’t necessarily have to go for the most expensive diamond purse to pair it with an eye-catching diamond bangle. You can even highlight the diamond purse motif with a flirty and fun pair of diamond purse earrings.

Diamond purses are becoming much trendier than just the classic brand name designer purse. With price tags in the thousands they are status symbols that keep the celebrities a notch above the common folk, an aura that other designer bags have lost in recent years. So you can expect to see more original diamond-studded purses coming out with varying price ranges, some in the thousands and some notably in the millions.

In a letter to Aretha Franklin, PETA spokesperson Dan Matthews writes:

“Music lovers may think of you as a ‘queen,’ but to animal lovers, you are a court jester . Why not shed the old-fashioned look that adds pounds to your frame and detracts from your beautiful voice? Please consider donating your furs to the homeless as ‘queen of compassion,’ Mariah Carey, did. You’ll get a tax credit for the donation, and we at PETA will all sing your praises.”

Ouch.

I’m mean, sure, the fur should go - we all know that.  But hasn’t the lady earned a little more R.E.S.P.E.C.T. than that?

So, what do you think - are these two a reasonably attractive couple?  Yeah, I guess…

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are easily two of my favorite celebs, I love them both to distraction.  They get so much attention for their looks (flawlessness attracts attention) that many of their other traits are sometimes overlooked.  They’re each very stylish, generous, and extremely talented people.  The picture above is from the 2008 Screen Actor’s Guild Awards.  Click the picture or the link to see a lot more pictures from the evening.  Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie at the Screen Actor’s Guild Awards

Oh, the gorgeousness!  Her dress is just perfect - leave it to Angelina to make a maternity dress sexy.

The rings in this post are from one of the coolest places to shop for jewelry:  ICE.com.

The ring looming large at the top of the post as well as to the left,  is the 1 1/2 Carat Ruby and Diamond 14K White Gold Heart Ring.  It has the distinction of being the most beautiful ring I’ve seen in recent history.  When I look at it, all I can think is, “I love you.  I honestly love you.”

I normally collect yellow gold jewelry, but I’m willing to start a collection of white gold in honor of this beauty.  Care to guess what piece of jewelry will start the collection rolling?

From the web site:

Vibrant and fun, this heart shaped ring showcases the irresistible combination of brilliant white diamonds and gorgeous bright colored rubies. Set in gleaming 14K white gold, this piece is stunning and youthful.

I honestly can’t stop looking at this ring!

I’m feeling all kinds of mushy, sentimental, and lovey dovey - how could you not when you’re surrounded by hearts, flowers, chocolates, and kissy bears everywhere you look?  A puckered up lion actually fell on me in my favorite department store a few days ago.  I was just thankful he wasn’t real.  I checked his price tag, realized that he cost 3 tall lattes at Starbucks (What?  You don’t use the StarBUCKS system for shopping?  Wow.), then set him back amongst his kind.

This Yellow Gold Heart in Hand Diamond Ring is yet another reminder of the sentimental season that’s all around us.  Valentine’s Day may not be up there with Thanksgiving and Christmas in people’s minds and hearts - and kids may not find it quite as fun as Halloween, but I absolutey delight in it.  Anything that promotes love and affection is tops in my book.

Yes, as a matter of fact, I am a romantic fool.  But I’m happy with the title.

Something you’d be happy with is this knockout ring.  It’s a beauty, right?  Click through the link or image to take a closer look - and be sure to look around at the other jewelry as well.  I promise you you’ll find many things with your name on them.  Many, many, many.

As you know….okay, as just about everyone knows…Tyra is one of my favorite supermodels of all-time.  It went past her beauty, which is undeniable.  It even went past her walk and style - second to none and second to none.  There’s just something about the way she commands your attention - whether it’s with a wink, a smile, or just the way she cuts her eyes around.

There’ll never be another one quite like her.  I hate that she doesn’t do much modeling anymore, but I love watching her talk show, and (of course) ANTM.  Last season wasn’t my favorite, I admit, but I can’t wait for the next one.

In the meantime, enjoy Lady Tyra working the heck out of the runway in this vid.
