Lollipop, Lollipop!
Summertime is just around the corner! Are you excited? Well, you should be! Two weeks ago, I had the pleasure of getting the Eriq Henri Lollipop Pam Tote. I have been using it everyday! Yes, it is large, but that is the purpose. This is going to be my perfect summer tote. For the past two weeks, I have been testing it out.
The majority of the time I had two 5 subject notebooks, iPod, cell phone, camera, cords, wallet, bottle of Advil, pen and keys. For a brief moment, I put in my laptop and that did not work for me. Only because the laptop that I have is heavy! If you have a lightweight laptop, I would recommend this tote. The bottom of the tote is also padded, so if you happen to put the bag down in a not-so-nice manner, it would have some protection. This feature satisfied the needs of my iPod and camera. On the outside of the bag is an open pocket. I used this pocket mainly for my keys and cell phone, as it is an easy reach. For this pocket, I would recommend a snap closure or zipper. This way you can fling it around and those would not go flying out. The feature states that this tote comes with a magnetic clasp, but mine did not. I am actually okay with that, but it would be a nice feature. The interior lining is NOT black and as you may know, black linings are difficult. The lining is a gunmetal green (thanks Gary) therefore it is easy to find things and it goes well with the Greenhouse Effect Green. I love the color choices of the handles which is also the same color as the fabric running at the top of the bag. The handles also have a drop length of 8.5 inches. This fit perfectly under my arms even with a fleece on. The Colorado weather changes every 15 minutes, so the day after it was 80 degrees out, we had snow and a high of 45 degrees. Gotta love it! I can not wait until their new items are available, they look HAUTE!
Eriq Henri’s art is unique. He changes the ordinary to extraordinary! He makes it his story, which can turn to my story and your story. So, what are you waiting for? Get a bag and make a statement.

The World of Elaine Turner
|
Elaine Turner is a fabulous Accessory designer. I absolutely love her handbag creations. They are fun, durable and modern chic! A little background: In 2000, former apparel designer and merchandiser Elaine Turner put her industry experience, love of accessories and passion for all things stylish to work on her first-ever handbag collection. Elaine’s impressive fashion pedigree, coupled with a keen interest in textiles and timeless style, led to the creation of a unique, conceptually-driven debut collection that instantly stood apart from the rest. Fans of the Elaine Turner collection have come to anticipate her rare yet elegant combinations of the unexpected. “We are recognized for our use of embossed exotic leathers such as ostrich, croc, and python. Seasonally, our uniquely designed and painted grass cloth bags have also become a well known signature look for the line,” says Turner. Striking custom hardware bearing Elaine Turner’s signature crown logo is also iconic to the brand. Although Turner incorporates elements that make her bags conversation pieces she’s never a slave to fly by night trends. “I stay true to my customer’s desire for something decidedly sophisticated and classic, but with a twist.” As Elaine Turner’s collection continues to evolve and expand, so does her company. 2007 brought many exciting company developments including the launch of small leather goods, beach and travel collections. Elaine Turner handbag collections are perfect for travel, night’s out on the town and of course the daytime, everyday accessory! Shop her FAB collections of Totes, Satchels and Clutches! |

Perfect luxury leather bag from Helen Kaminski

A Man Bag: Not the Last Crusade
On May 22 the fourth installment of Indiana Jones: Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, will hit theaters. For the men that were once boys, Indiana Jones was their hero. He was an adventurer! He and his gang went to hunt treasure, fought alligators, and escaped death. Indiana Jones had his signature bullwhip, fedora hat, leather jacket and a great man-bag. Did I just say man-bag? The original Indiana Jones bag was a British Army surplus MK VII Respirator bag which might be the inspiration to some of the bags that are offered on eBags.com. The main features of the bag include internal pockets with dividers. The bag was also made of real cotton canvas with a leather strap. How else was he expected to steal The Ark of the Covenant from Raiders of the Lost Ark? He needed it to carry the bag of sand to replace the famous statue before he barely escaped alive from that dark tunnel!
In spirit of the new Indiana Jones: Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, I have found some similar products for the boys that are now men. Even for the boys that want to play the part of Indiana Jones in the backyards of their parent’s houses.

Oversized Black Leather Handbags
OK ladies. It’s official. Early trend reports show that the must-have accessory for the summer, oversized handbags, is here to stay. Despite previous worries that this handbag trend was fading, the Autumn/Winter 2008 preview at London Fashion Week showed that oversized handbags, particularly large black leather handbags, is even carrying over for next season.
One of my personal favourites for the season is the Salt of the Earth Ember Croc Print Leather Carryall, which is strikingly similar to the bag on your left, which was shown at Fashion Week.
