Angry Little Girls

So I’ve heard about Angry Little Girls, by Lela Lee, but I never really took too much time to stop and read them. I simply thought they were cute comics…kind of like anime. Recently I came across some of their cotton canvas bags and actually ready what’s on them…let me just say, they’re hilarious! I [...]

A Perfect Gift for that Special Snow Bunnie

 
Just about everyone I know knows at least one person that is into snow play, snow sports, or just snow in general. And I thought to myself what would be a good gift for the athletic girl whos not really into the expensive designer labels. Well, what better gift to give a person than something right up that person’s alley. Burton is [...]

Pretty Birdy

Parrots are magnificent birds. It’s hard not to stand out with the beautifully vivid colors. So of course, a parrot-inspired handbag would stand out just as much. Judith Leiber’s Crystal-embellished Parrot Clutch is definitely eye-catching. Modeled after a Scarlet Macaw, this 5 inch clutch comes with a gold chain and hardware.
This bird really is [...]

What’s a Minaudiere?

I was at Nordstrom’s the other day shopping at their anniversary sale and noticed they had a couple of the crystals clutches on sale. I couldn’t help but pick one up to look at. I’ve always known that they existed, but actually seeing them in person intrigued me. Just looking at it reminds me of [...]

Styling Dior

When I first saw this clutch I absolutely fell in love with it. I was surprised because I’m usually not the Channel or Dior fan with their quilted look, but this has such an elegant touch to it that I couldn’t resist it. It’s something that I can definitely see myself using in the daytime, [...]

Wicker baskets?

Here’s an adorably cool twist to the environmentally-friendly shopping bag, a Williams-Sonoma market basket:

Toting home my groceries in a wicker basket just sounds super cute. Apparently, it’s popular at open air markets in Europe, and really, it does seem pretty old-school European, no? And this wicker basket is definitely more convenient with its wheels [...]

Alien Dog

I can’t believe this. I was just looking at some blog about all things Louis Vuitton when this picture jumped right at me and nearly gave me a heart attack. Actually, not really. More like me slamming my fist on the table, head jilting forward, eyes popping forward and jaw dropping. But rest assured, this [...]

Louboutin VS. Valentino

VS

Who would you choose? When looking at both clutches, they seem quite similar.
Christian Louboutin’s clutch (top) is slightly smaller and measures about 9L x 4W x 2H”. It’s made of a shiny lurex exterior with a magnetic flap opening. It retails for about $725.
Valentino’s clutch (bottom) seems to be a bit roomier than Louboutin’s. It [...]
