Pugster Faith Hope Love Italian Charm

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.

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.

Wow! The Captivating Cat Ring with Diamond Accents is nothing short of gorgeous.  If you love cats as much as I do, you’ll want one of these to show the world how you feel about this beautiful animal.  Besides, your cats will take it as a great sign of affection and adoration. My own cats (Prissy, Alexa, Bo, and Svenn) fully expect to be honored in this manner.

The exotic, mysterious little feline sports a diamond accented collar as well as tail. The booty’s in the booty!

Details: Diamond accents (.01 ct. tw.) provide dazzling detail in a setting of 10K yellow gold

Butterfly Handbag Night Light
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’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. 

From the Website:

Betty blows a kiss from the dial of our collector’s-edition watch. Silvertone case with heart accent on second hand. Red man-made strap, 9 1/2″ L. Fine Japanese quartz movement. Comes in colorful round tin.

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.

I’m actually on the way out the door right now (I’m literally sitting with my purse in my lap!), but I HAD to show you these gorgeous cookie jars from Macy’s.com.  I’m not sure they’re in the actual stores or not - I haven’t seen them, anyway.

Click on each for a better look.  Aren’t they amazing?!?!

They combine two of my favorite things in the world - handbags and cookies. If there were a Starbuck’s cup somewhere in the picture, I guess I would have passed dead away.

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.
