Jane Marvel

Comp_bag_coffee_wzoomiconA girlfriend of mine recently purchased a Jane Marvel Runaround bag and I've been envious of it ever since!  So, as I searched the globe (AKA the internet) for a chic and fabulous new laptop bag, Jane Marvel popped up! 

Picture my laptop bag now, it's super heavy (without the computer even in it) and super ugly (plain black, no fun).  As I return to full time corporate life in 2 weeks, my laptop bag will become a constant accessory again so I need it to be stylish, not dull and boring, as that is so not me!  And what I love the most about these Jane Marvel bags (all of them, not just the computer bags), the fabric designs.  About 10 designs to pick from for each bag, so you can truly create a bag that fits your personality and style.

They are also affordable, that's always a plus!  Not looking to spend hundreds on a new bag (whether it be a travel bag, computer bag, or just a regular purse), look no further!  Happy Birthday present to me next week...hint hint hubby!

Etsy Clutch

ClutchAnyone else love browsing through the Etsy shops?  There is so much talent out there, many crafty individuals making some fabulous products! 
I'm a purse and bag junkie so most of my time is spent scanning the globe for the best looking yet practical accessory! 
As I have a ton of weddings coming up, my search to find a stylish clutch is on!  And this one has made it to the top of my list!  Jessica Leman's Etsy shop let's you "design your own" clutch.  Pick the fabric that suits you or match it to your special outfit.  Black dresses for me most of the time {seems to hide everything as I get older} so this black and white floral clutch is perfect!  How classy and feminine you'll look carrying this to your next event!
Jessica's shop, Peas & Carrots, has plenty of chic fabrics to pick from, also check out her handbags!

Men Can Accessorize Too

BraidedspinnerWhen it comes to accessorizing for men, people feel that the options are pretty limited - but why does this have to be? Yes men can look for watches, ties and shoes but there are so many other items that are just as amazing. This Braided Spinner ring is definitely a piece that a man can wear and has a great nautical look to it! I love that this sterling silver ring also spins over the inner band. I love that this is a simple look which will definitely create conversation and works well whether you're dressing casually or are dressed up! Available at Just Mens Rings, this is a site that is a must visit in order to begin enhancing your friend, brother, sig other or father's accessory collection. Without a doubt, this is a great gift for a special occasion or just because!

Designer glasses -- worth it?

Sunglasses Many of us have lusted after a pair of designer shades. Whether it's the gorgeous tortoise shell frames, or just the fancy logo, they can be enticing.

But are they worth the price tag? Jennifer Romolini from Shine says no since the FDA doesn't regulate sunglasses. Just because they cost a small fortune, doesn't mean they're protecting your eyes. Jennifer lists some ways to make sure you're getting the best sunglasses for your money.

1. Don't purchase a pair of sunglasses without a specific UV claim/label, whether they are fancy designer or not.

2. This label should reveal the amount of protection you're getting—what you're looking for is 95% UV reduction, but you can also take something called "UV-400" and “UV absorption up to 400nm,” which according to this story, is basically the same thing (eye wear may also be labeled "cosmetic," which means the lenses will block out just 70% of sun frying).

3. These guidelines have absolutely nothing to do with the price or label. Many drugstore brands, though probably not as stylish as you'd want, offer the highest level of protection. Conversely, many of the most luxury lines, offer zilch.

Shoe blogging

Manolo Hey all you fashion freaks out there, have I got news for you. Love shoes? Want to read all about shoes? Then you're in luck.

Shoe Blog certainly lives up to its name. Not a post goes by without the mention of a great shoe and there's a forum so you can add your input. Check out their tribute to the late great Yves Saint Laurent.

Grand Mademoiselle is a girl after my own heart -- always in search of the prefect shoe. I think she nailed it with these Cassia ballet flats.

And then there's Shoeaholics Anonymous. Um..yes! Where do I sign up? She recently featured the gorgeous midnight blue Manolos featured in the Sex and the City movie. Drooool.
