My friend to the left is the Anuschka Multi-Compartment Bag - Women’s Designer Handbag, but you can just call her sexy for short.

This gorgeousness is made in India which makes it pretty exotic, if you ask me.

The colorful handbag has a central compartment with all-round zip entry.  The two full-length outer compartments have  magnetic closures….love that.

 There’s also an inner zip and a multipurpose pocket.

My favorite thing about this bag is the artwork on the outside.  The gorgeous colors, flowers, and the beautiful, feminine butterfly.  The bag is handpainted, which only makes me love it more.  The artwork pretty much takes it from my wish list straight to my If I don’t get this bag soon, I may implode list.

I absolutely, positively love these Handmade Beaded Handbags from Shop.com. 

These fully lined, handmade beaded viscose evening bags are as unique as they are gorgeous.  The details in the design are so spectacular - I honestly have no idea how anyone can be so artistic and creative.

I’m pretty sure that any attempt I were to make at something like this would result in what’s known in the business as a hot mess.

The colors listed are Black, Burgundy, Camel, Olive - but for the life of my Starbucks card, the one called “olive” looks blue-grey to me.  I love the color of the Camel - it’d match tan or brown so well, but the details show up so beautifully on the black one, don’t they?  I also love the one THEY insist is olive…but only if it is, indeed, blue-grey like it appears to me.

Having said all of that, I actually think I’m going to order the burgundy one first (then the black one).  Most of my wardrobe falls into the plums, purples, pinks, and burgundy range.  I’m nothing if not ridiculously girly girly.

Hmmmm…. I just took another look at the picture and double-checked the price. I honestly thought they were higher than they are. I’m ordering the black one along with the burgundy one - come to momma, baby, you don’t have to wait.

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.

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.

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. 

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.

Jennifer Lopez is one of my Style Icons, so I always pay a lot of attention to what she’s wearing and how she’s wearing it.  The girl is nothing but class.  The pictures in this post are from September 21, 2007 in London, England - JLo was doing what JLo does best…schooling the rest of the world on style.

This type of look is what I always refer to as casual glamour. She looks comfortable and approachable, yet at the same time she’s unmistakably glamorous and sophisticated. Like Katerine Hepburn before her, Jennifer Lopez is brilliant when it comes to working this look.

Every detail is gorgeous - from her makeup and hat to her jewelry and handbag.  The large hoop earrings go with the hat like they were sold together - and check out the breathtaking bracelets.

You look gorgeous as always JLo!

Below is a third handbag from the site - from the same series as the ones above. Also freakin’ cute!!! - I honestly want all three.

Marilyn Monroe Signature Product Marilyn Monroe Cosmetic Bag M2115 - Women’s Top Zip Bag

There are certain things in life that are just impossibly sexy, and Marilyn Monroe merchandise is near the top of the list.  Like the infamous Playboy bunny, Marilyn’s image makes people sit up and take notice.  Kind of like a sign above your head flashing the words, “Look Out:  Sexiness Below.”

All in all, that’s a good thing, right?
