Me in Melange

The best girlfriend gift!

http://www.melange4women.com/envirosax.html , these are the BEST little bags ever.  I found them at the San Francisco gift show and they gave me one....and you know me and freebies.  I promptly piled everything into it and have used it ever since for all sorts of things.  It actually hangs in my laundry room and I've used it for the farmer's market, for throwing my stuff into on rainy days, for piling the clothes the kids will want after swim lessons.....it is big enough for everything, really strong, and comfortable to wear.  AND....it is $8.....AND good for the environment if you are good and use it instead of plastic bags....OH, and of course it looks adorable and comes in a ton of prints :-) !!  Signed, ME {lv}

New Handbag Line

I'm really excited about this new Handbag line we are going to be getting in for fall.  Check out the link... Urban Junket .  This Italian line is fresh and different.  The colors are amazing, one side is a great leather, and the other a thick wool knit (you can see that some of them are sided with canvas--that was their spring look).  PLUS...the coolest part is that the bag snaps and contorts into different shapes so it is like getting three bags in one!  Keep a lookout, these are going to be great!  My favorite style!!!

bag lady

I love handbags. I admit it. I have more handbags than shoes, I change them more often than my lip gloss color and I store them in kind of an OCD way.  I use to work in a handbag haven (aka the Nordy's handbag dept) where I could dream on a daily basis that my retail floor was actually just my closet. Recently, I was tipped off by one of our customers to a great handbag company based in Portland. (lucky for us Oregon ladies!) Ellington Leather has wonderful styles that are in vivid bold colors and sleek designs. Perfect for the urban gal and really have great potential to be the 'pop' in our spring wardrobe!  Happy Retailing!  Signed, me {c}
