- Real Men Wear Man-Purses
I realized today, while out for a run, that I’ve completely neglected men. I mean on this blog. My husband recently bought a man-purse (he finally caved), which has been a completely practical item here in France. And, no one sniggers at him behind his back, as every other man is also carrying a man-purse. [...]

- Camila Alves- Living on the Fringes
In honor of the arrival of Camila Alves and Matthew McConaughy’s new little bundle of joy, I thought I’d take a look at her purse line, Muxo. Handmade in the USA supposedly by Alves and/or her mother, with materials from Brazil, they whole line has a very casual, almost cowboyish look. The insignia reminds me [...]

- The Queen and I - What is in the Queen’s handbag?
So I was just cleaning out my work bag, which got me to thinking about all the stuff I carry around everyday, especially when I’m carrying my Longchamp shopper. For some reason it made me wonder what the Queen of England carries in her bag. So I Googled it, and this is a response to [...]

- Charge It
How awesome would it be to be able to charge your mobile phone or iPod IN your purse without having to connect it to a plug in the wall? A mechanical engineer in Iowa designed the Power Purse, which is covered in wafer-thin photovoltaic cells- think very thin solar panels. There is a USB charger [...]

Beach season is in full swing here on the French Riviera and last Sunday was my first real day at the beach. It was nearly a perfect day as the weather forecast called for rain but it ended up not raining, at least where we decided to go to the beach, down St Tropez way. [...]

- Cannes You See Me Carrying This Bag?
As you may know if you’ve read my earlier post about reusable shopping bags, I am currently loving etsy.com. It’s a site that sells homemade stuff and it’s a great place to pick up unique items. And no, I’m not getting paid to say that. Seeing as how THE film festival is going on in [...]

- (Don’t) Stop Slouching!
[gallery]Go ahead and silently judge me for liking this bag. I admit, it’s very shiny. Maybe too shiny for some of you. And I love that it’s flashy, while still being casual in the styling- the straps are the perfect length for tucking it up under your arm as you browse through the racks at [...]

- Prada Travel Bag
Ok, I know this really doesn’t have anything to do with purses or handbags, but I just read that Lisa Marie Presley is mad about being called pudgy. She was really, really pissed because she is pregnant and wanted to keep that news private and she says that because the press was calling her fat, [...]

- JP Tod’s Leather Handbag Bachello Baby Blue
Not everyone can carry a bag that is the color of the sky over Rome the last time I was there. This bag’s simple and elegant lines (this is a bag Audrey Hepburn would have been tucking her lipstick into on her Roman Holiday) can’t be carried by just anyone. You have to be put [...]
