How Unique....

Night Light for Handbag-Loving Fashionistas

by Joi on January 31, 2008

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!

A Cool Way to Organize Your Handbags

by Joi on January 23, 2008

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

Perfect Valentine’s Day Gift for Betty Boop Fans

by Joi on January 23, 2008

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.
©2006 King Features Syndicate, Inc./Fleischer Studios Inc ™Hearst Holdings, Inc/Fleischer Studios Inc.

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.

You Won’t Believe These Cookie Jars!

by Joi on November 8, 2007

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.

Tyvek Market Bags

by Joi on October 24, 2007

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.

Marilyn Monroe Compact Bag

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?

Bags and Bargains in the Auction Ads

by Joi on June 9, 2007

If you look at the very top of the page and the very bottom, you’ll notice that I’ve added a new feature to the blog.  These “Auction Ads” will rotate a huge variety of hot purses, handbags, jewelry and totes.  The best thing about them is that you can get them for a lot less than they’d normally cost you.  Shopping like this is the funnest way to shop - it’s like you’re hunting for your own personal treasure while getting away with a steal.

The ads change each time you come, or each time you refresh the page.  So, keep your eye on them (maybe even both eyes) - because you never know when something you MUST have will turn up!
