Purse On Us

How long have been waiting for Chanel to release new handbags? I have been looking for it the day I have seen the last season’s bags. I like Chanel purses very much. They are beautiful, elegant, functional and decent. The Chanel Spring Summer 2010 Pre Collection is no exception. As is known to all, a single Chanel handbag is very pricy, but I think the hefty price tag can not keep us from appreciating and evaluating these designer bags. There are all together 16 pieces in this collection. I will list most of them.

November in Perth means sunshine, moustaches, the start of beach weather and Christmas carols in department stores. This year, it also means the start of my sartorial 100 mile diet.

So, I thought it appropriate to start with what I feel is sort of the ultimate 100 mile dress. It was home made some forty-odd years ago, here in Perth (I like to imagine on a kitchen table with an old Singer) by a lovely lady who has a very special place in my heart. I never knew her, but about eight years ago she passed away and donated her entire lifetime of home made dresses to my mum, who is a costume designer. Sophia and I had the privilege of sorting through her hundreds of perfectly preserved, immaculately sewn dresses that she’d kept from the ’40s up until the late ’70s, complete with matching belts, hats and shoes. We picked out a few of our favourite pieces to keep, and the rest went to my mum’s costume collection. These dresses have stayed in my wardrobe(s) ever since, and are my favourite and most cherished pieces. I don’t know much about the amazing old lady, other than she lived in Perth her whole life, was an excellent sewer and that she was called Julie, because she had embroidered her name onto one of her umbrellas.

Patent leather ’60s bag from my grandma Doreen (it has a lucky horseshoe charm on the zip), corduroy ’50s dress from the afore-mentioned Julie (altered a little by me… Maybe hemmed it a little too short, ah well!) op shop belt and op shop shoes.

It’s 30 degrees today, so I probably will get a little warm under this corduroy…

Although graffiti is a culture with a long history which can be dated back to Ancient Greece and the Roman Empire, in today, the modern times, graffiti sometimes is made to express social and political messages and a whole genre of artistic expression is based upon spray paint graffiti styles. Moreover, in the industry of fashion, more and more brands are applying original or distinctive graffiti into their designs, no matter the handbags or clothes. Today, we will take a look at those handbags with graffiti.

The most well-known graffiti is the Louis Vuitton Graffiti Canvas, the passionate and stylish design inspired by the late American artist Stephen Sprouse. The first collaboration of Stephen Sprouse and Louis Vuitton created the Monogram Graffiti handbags that produced in different series, such as the classic Neverfull, Speedy or Keepall. The graffiti has definitely brought creation and new life to the classic styles!

Next we encountered the Coach handbags, which have been favored in American market for a long time and is one of the most successful leather goods brands in America. In its spring and summer collection of 2010, Coach applied some fascinating colorful graffiti that full of childlike innocence into the design of handbags’ pattern, which exuded a fresh taste and stylish artistic flavor. We can appreciate these ingenious graffiti in the Poppy collection.

In the Coach Star Totes Charity Project which is initiated to celebrate the Coach’s Flagship Store opening in Shanghai, China, some of the biggest names in showbiz in Hong Kong & Hollywood to design custom totes. These totes are celebrities’ graffiti pattern. Among all these distinctive Coach totes, whose design is your favorite?

The Koalabiner(TM) is a carabiner style clip designed to hang your purse from the handle of a shopping cart or baby stroller so you do not have to carry it. You can also use the Koalabiner to hang a diaper bag from your stroller handle. The Koalabiner offers a more secure way to hold your purse than placing it in the cart basket, because the latch of the Koalabiner closes around the handle preventing your purse from being easily removed. The Koalabiner is made of lightweight, but strong aluminum and makes an attractive accessory for a purse or bag. If you like the Koalabiner, make sure you look up our other great products on Amazon: The patented List Caddy list and coupon holder and the Koala Pouch shopping organizer!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYBODY AND BE SAFE.

I love traveling. I think each city has something special to offer, a unique and diverse culture all of its own to remember it by. One of my favorite American cities is Seattle, Washington. I love walking around in the crisp air of the northern West coast in the fall. My dad hails from Eugene, Oregon, so despite growing up as an East coast girl, the West coast also holds a special place in my heart. Just as each coast offers its own unique landscape, so too does it have its own distinctive style and fashion.
Here’s my own idea of what exemplifies the laid-back and bohemian chic style of Seattle Washington. I can’t wait to go back.

What I get from it (and others similar) is that someone wants to buy your brain to take an online class for them. I’ve seen (and tagged) others where the “wantee” wants you to take a sit-down class for them (you have to generally match their physical description) or provide answers to tests. The best offer I’ve seen so far was to take an English class with pay ranging from a few hundred for passing to $700 for getting an A.

Story idea: is this happening in your neck of the woods? Are students so strapped for time (and intellect and ethics) that they want to pay someone to take classes/tests for them? What meaning does this have beyond just paying someone for a job (well done)?

Let’s see…would you see a doctor who cheated her way thru school? Or lawyer, or any professional for that matter?

What does this do to folks who do it the old fashioned way – on their own, studying, working hard? Does it devalue their grades?

And what, ultimately, does it do to the “wantee” in the ad? Yes, it shows lack of ethics…but if they need help with bonehead English…how the heck are they going to pass more difficult courses. Skip Algebra I and how are you gonna do in Geometry?

Lots to delve into the ponder on this one.

And along the same line, here’s another idea from Peter Brown. Folks who go for fake are liars and cheaters. Vastly oversimplified, but those who are attracted to ripoffs of reality have trouble with the truth and the reality of life. In one study, see the results:

The women wearing the fake Chloe shades cheated more–considerably more. Fully 70 percent inflated their performance when they thought nobody was checking on them–and in effect stole cash…

Brown’s blog posting is based on a psychological study that seemed to indicate that buying fakes and personal behavior are closely linked.

Story idea: can you replicate some of these experiments done by the researchers in your own area? Are people even aware of the link between what they buy and behavior? Can these behaviors be recognized and possibly even reversed?

Good luck with it…see ya next week.
