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 From the web site:
It’s actually on sale now at Macy’s for half off the original price, so I’m not just tempted, I’m slapping plastic as soon as the last word in this post is spelled out. The Diane Von Furstenberg “Catwalk” Fashion Tote Hmmm, now I’m not sure again! An idea just struck me - if they’re on sale for half off, then I think I could convince myself that two would be a completly sound and reasonable idea. I’m not sure I could convince my husband that it’s called ”smart shopping” - but I’m aleady convinced. In the words of the Staples button, That was easy.

Stars love the Yves Saint Laurent Downtown Tote. While I’m pretty mad about Ashlee’s red bag and Halle’s Silver one, I’m most in love with Jessica Biel’s white bag. The way it looks with her white dress is eye-popping and heart-stopping. (Click the pic for a larger view.)
Her high-end, flossy tote reads, “I’m Not a Plastic Bag.” It’s one of British Designer Anya Hindmarch’s edgy creations and I can’t wait for her stuff to hit the U.S. I like the lady’s style! Fortunately, I don’t have long to wait, as her collection rolls stateside in June. You can wait it out, like me, or get ahead of the game by visiting http://www.anyahindmarch.com and http://www.wearewhatwedo.org. I love it when fashion, such as handbags or tees, take it upon themselves to make a little statement about life, in general. Whether it’s subtle or feels like a sledge hammer - I just love it when they make their own statement, literally. Keira, herself, makes a lot of strong statements - with her fashion and style as well as her colorful personality. She’s one of the celebrities who, in my opinion, wears their heart on their sleeve and in their style. To see more of Keira’s sexy style, visit Keira Fans.Net.

When I Googled the name “Hollywould” (I told you I was a purse stalker), I found the website I Love Hollywould.com, but when I searched the site, I actually found a few handbags I liked even better than the satin clutch. Maybe it’s my intense love of flowers and all things Spring and Summer…or maybe it’s the knowledge that I couldn’t even carry my make-up in a clutch, let alone everything else. The beauty above and to the left is the Hibiscus Capri Tote. It’s a practical, sensible, very functionable bag without looking like a…well, like a practical, sensible, very funtionable bag.

What’s not to love about the attitude and sassibility of this 
The website is chock full of similar products with just as much sass, sometimes more. 
I saw a sexy little purple satin clutch in my recent issue of Elle Accessories and tracked it down like a stalker. Turns out it’s from Hollywould - one of the most cleverly-named Collections in the world.
They say Black and White will be really huge this year - I say Black and White is really huge every year. It’s a combination that’s as incapable of going out of style as chocolate is.|
