Handbags get a Bling Makeover From Ms. BB

Handbags get a Bling Makeover From Ms. BB

Daahling, your handbag is like your best friend ~ it will never tell where the two of you have been! Bling, much like your best friend, will make all of your handbags special and brighten up your life at the same time.

Daytime handbags might be the ones you are most reluctant to display with bling, depending on where you work. Remember that times are changing and many business workplaces allow you to freely express your individual fashion taste. Even if you work in a suited environment, you can subtly add a bling garnish to the most sophisticated bag or briefcase. A vintage cameo broach applied somewhere on the strap or bottom corner adds an air of elegance and class. A small earring gem dangling from the zipper is always acceptable and nice eye candy to cheer you up while you work. Additionally, you can creatively sparkle with bling on the inside of your bag while keeping the outside appropriate for your business day. A jeweled wallet, make-up case, or pill box will dazzle your spirits each time you open your bag, and remind you that evening fun will soon begin.

Handbag totes are a stylish way to carry essential extras that tend to bulge your standard bag. They can be casual, business, or fun, and you can find them in a wide variety of patterns and materials from straw to leather. Totes with a smooth surface can be decorated with adhesive backed crystals and hearts by simply peeling off the back and sticking them on the bag. Try cutting a sheet of rhinestones into your initial, or if you are the artistic type, you will have lots of fun designing an original work of bling art! For surfaces that are not smooth, jeweled clip-on earrings can be simply clipped onto the straps, and brightly colored pierced earrings can be attached to the zipper pull and left dangling.

Evening Bags are great fun to shop for and will accentuate your outfit with a wide variety of styles. A small clutch is always chic if you do not need to carry much. These can be found in smooth leather, reptile skin, canvas, or even transparent plastic. A light weight chain handle that tucks inside makes it easy to convert to a shoulder bag, leaving both hands free to handle all important things that comes your way ~ like wine or hugs! If you need to carry a bit more than lipstick, look for a bag with several compartments that will allow you to tuck in your cell phone and other essentials you simply cannot leave home without.

Evening bags can be found with just a touch of bling or totally covered in glitter, beads, jewels, or embroidered flowers and initials ~ or with all of the above! If the bag you love does not already come adorned for evening, simply add your own bling! Jeweled pins and earrings make it simple and quick to dress any bag for evening to coordinate with your latest outfit. Take good care of your handbags and they will last a lifetime, Daahling ~ just like your best friend!

Daahling, please visit Ms. BB at http://BlingSpa.com for more Bling Makeovers and Bling Therapy with healing gemstones. A dazzling variety of Bling Handbags can be found at http://BlingBlingMarketplace.com where the In-Crowd shops.

Wardrobe Clean Out Time   by Mary Bailis

Out with the old, in with the new. Sounds great but in actuality, this is a hard concept for most of us. Unfortunately, New Year's resolutions are starting to die out by now. It is actually a great time to reorganize the home and clear out. A good place to start is with your wardrobe and accessories.

We all have skeletons in our closet. I'm talking about those old clothes that we are holding onto. One of the biggest reasons for holding onto our clothes? "I am going to loose weight and get into that outfit again." Time to ditch it! I am sure it is outdated by now and when and if you get into it, it will not look that great anyway. If you loose those extra pounds, reward yourself instead with something new, you deserve it.

Are you the sentimental type that holds on to clothes? The outfit you wore to a special occasion, date or the one that cost you a small fortune. I know it is hard to let go but it is time to do it. How about that little black dress that we are all suppose to have in our closet. It has been there for while, hasn't it? Have you avoided wearing it because it is so outdated? It is time to move on and get a new one.

Here is some good advice, if you have not worn it in two years or more, you need to get rid of it. Not wearable because it needs to be repaired, put them in a pile to bring to a Taylor or just get rid of it. Face it, if you have not fixed it yet, it will not happen. Are you waiting for the style to come back again? Style's do come and go and come back again, but always in a different way. The style changes in some way as well as the "in" color. Bell bottoms were once in but never came back fully in style again. They came back a little different as boot leg cut and not as wide as the bell bottom. So do not save it for another time, it will not work. Don't forget the clothes that were bought and just didn't cut it. I am talking about the one's you never got around to returning. Even the clothes that looked great in the dressing room but when you actually wore it, it didn't really look that great on you. These are great for the consignment store. It took me a while to realize that brown just is not my color. Each time when brown is the "new black" in style I just didn't feel right in a brown outfit. It dawned on me that it is just not my color. I held on to those great brown clothes for a while. Finally I let go and accepted those great brown clothes were not great on me. They were taking up much needed closet space.

Next, are the accessories filling the shelves and drawers? Handbags are a big save item. Spending a fortune on a designer handbag is a good reason to hold on to it. If it is worn out and does not look good any more, then there is no reason to keep it. Zipper broke, button off, bad looking scratch in the leather? If it is not useable, then do not save it. I had an off white suede leather Coach bag that I loved and spent a lot of money on. It became dirty looking way too fast. Being suede, it did not clean well. I kept it for three years before I broke down and threw it out. Never bought that color again! Handbags are like shoes, once they wear out, they do not look good anymore. Pull out of your closet all the handbags and shoe's. Try on the shoe's, see if they fit, are too worn out or are out of style and put them in the get rid of pile. Do the same for belts.

Anything in good shape and the style is current; bring them to a consignment store. The rest can go to the thrift store or if too worn out or damaged, throw it out. Thrift stores are usually run by volunteers, they don't need to be throwing out your not so good items in the trash. You will feel good with "out with the old," now it is time and space for "in with the new." Have fun shopping for those new great clothes!

Buying A Ladies Handbag   by Claire Quaty

 

One accessory that many women consider a necessity is a handbag. In fact there is such a demand for ladies handbags in the marketplace that the selection just constantly increases. As each new season begins there are dozens of new designs of ladies handbags available.

Every woman has her own sense of style and therefore she'll tend to purchase ladies handbags that reflect that. For some women they only buy designer ladies handbags. These particular types of ladies handbags are crafted from the finest materials and carry the names of some of the most celebrated designers in the world. Designer ladies handbags are very expensive but many women view them as a fashion investment.

If you are interested in buying a designer handbag you'll need to visit a retailer who sells them. These are generally specialty boutiques.

Another venue for purchasing designer ladies handbags is from online retailers. There are many websites that sell brand name designer ladies handbags and will ship them right to your door. This often affords the consumer the biggest selection and it also allows a chance to compare prices. It's important to be careful when purchasing a quality designer bag in this way because you'll want to be wary of imitations.

Going to your local department store is a wonderful place to find a less expensive handbag. Most department stores don't cater to women who are looking for a pricey handbag instead they have a varied selection of reasonably priced and attractive ladies handbags.

One of the most popular types of ladies handbags are those crafted from leather. Leather handbags are available in several different colors. Many women prefer a neutral shade such as brown or black when purchasing a handbag.

Leather can be dyed into many shades though and if you are looking for something unusual in ladies handbags than you might opt for one that is blue or yellow. A handbag in a bright color is a great fashion accessory in the spring or summer.

As many colors of ladies handbags there are, there are just as many styles. Ladies handbags come in over the shoulder designs, small clutches or even a few that can double as a briefcase. Many ladies handbags have detachable handles which gives you a versatile look.

The size of ladies handbags is really dependent on each individual woman's preference. It's overpowering for a small woman to carry a handbag that is oversized. She'd want to choose one that is relative to her own size. The same is true for a taller woman when she is browsing the ladies handbag department. A larger style will complement her body frame better.

Having several ladies handbags is a good idea. It's nice to be able to change handbags depending on the occasion or the outfit you're wearing. An evening at the opera will demand a more sophisticated choice in a handbag than going to the movies.

Whatever your preference in ladies handbags is there is sure to be at least one that seems perfect. Purchase a few and make your handbag as much of a fashion accessory as your jewelry.
