Clutch Deal: Babee D Imperial Handbag

[ 2008-08-12 20:59:31 | Author: Admin ]
This is a pretty basic clutch. It’s a bit bigger than a typical clutch, but that can be a good thing if you are the type that doesn’t mind because you always seem to stuff your other clutches until they can barely close. It comes in brown (pictured), black, camel, purple & white wash. The bright purple color is my second faves as it will for sure help you stand out in a crowd.
propose a question: why, oh why are women’s handbags so expensive? I guess essentially, you are getting what you pay for, and in the long run sometimes expensive handbags are worth the investment—they carry value, literally. But come on…$300 ain’t cheap, and that’s supposed to be affordable when your comparing it to a 2,000 dollar Chloe or Balenciaga bag. I’ll never understand it and designers ...

Clutch Deal: Jill Stuart Sophia Patent Clutch

[ 2008-08-12 20:58:17 | Author: Admin ]
This clutch isn’t said to be vintage inspired, but it reminds me of a bag that Audrey Hepburn would have worn with one of her pretty dresses in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. The bold gold hardware would have really made her subtle blonde highlights pop. It’s on sale for under $200….love it!

Jill Stuart Sophia Patent Clutch: $146.25 (Was: $195.00)

I Miss My Vera Bradley Mimi Backpack

[ 2008-08-06 22:17:04 | Author: Admin ]
I just added a new category for the Vera Bradley Mimi Backpacks on the Discount Fabric Handbags store, and it got me thinking about how much I miss the one I used to have. As a matter of fact, I even have a vivid memory of finding out that the style was retiring (I guess I was a little too attached!)…

My oldest son is now ten, but when he was just a little guy, we would have weekly playdates ...

My Thoughts on the Vera Bradley Lawsuit

[ 2008-08-06 22:16:44 | Author: Admin ]
I sometimes forget that what may be “breaking news” here is of very little importance outside of my little bubble in the world. For those of you who do not know already, I live close to Fort Wayne, the same city that the Vera Bradley company calls “home”.

The big news here in Fort Wayne is regarding a lawsuit that was filed this week against the Vera Bradley company. The lawsuit was filed ...

A Candid Review of the Vera Bradley Hipster

[ 2008-08-06 22:16:17 | Author: Admin ]
I purchased the Vera Bradley Hipster at this year’s outlet sale, and just within the past week or so, started using it. Although my usual bag is a Villager (or one of the other similarly sized purses), I really loved the styling of the Hipster and thought I could handle downsizing. Unfortunately, I ran into a few issues…

I still love the styling, and I have received a ton of compliments, ...

As I am sure most of you know by now, the Vera Bradley tote was redesigned for fall 2008. I am going to go out on a limb and guess that the first questions that popped into yours minds are probably the same ones that popped into mine. Namely, how is the new tote the same, and what has changed?

To answer these questions, here is a quick rundown of the old versus new:
