Purse On Us

Perfect skies with no clouds… too bad most of us have to work. The humidity is at 59%, there will be light winds at 10 mph, and the UV index is at a 10 so be careful out there! The high in Los Angeles is 80F and the low is 64F.

Well ladies it’s the 1^st of August and that means it’s time for the color of the month!! It’s the color of money and the color envy, which is how all your friends will be feeling when they see you in it… green of course! For some reason the color green seems to have gotten a bad rap over the years. Perhaps people think if they wear they’ll look like a Keebler elf or one of Santa’s helpers, but nothing could be further from the truth. First of all, emerald green is a jewel tone and it looks incredible on fair or dark skin. Plus rich and bright colors like emerald and Kelly green are going to be huge this fall! If you have green, blue, or hazel eyes then you will definitely want to try and add this color into your wardrobe. If you do have light eyes then try a blouse in this beautiful hue or perhaps a patterned dress. The green in the clothing will help pick up and enhance any greens and blues in your eyes. Colored jeans are also going to be big this fall so why not get a head start with a pair of green skinny jeans? Wear them with a strappy black heel and an oversized clutch and you’re ready for a night out on the town. Green is also an excellent way to add a pop of color to a bland outfit. Try a green scarf! It will not only add flair to your outfit but it will help keep the office air conditioning off of your neck. Do follow the yellow brick road because you don’t want to be left out of this emerald green city!

The Alexander Wang Rocco in a style that I was obsessing over for its sporty chic vibe. This version of the Rocco had my heart. The leather is stunning, thick and smooshy, and the wavy stitched detail adds such a nice touch. The studs are a great color, a ridged silver tone color which compliments the burnished silver-tone zip fastening. Each material was just as I expected.

The size is very similar to the Louis Vuitton Speedy 30, which is another bag that at times people dislike due to the lack of shape. The Rocco really lacks shape though, the body of the bag looks nothing like it does on the website. Anyway, I loved it.

Do you see a Chanel bag and become the middle of everyone about? I believe the majority of women answered affirmatively. I do not believe the lady would really like to be ignored by other people, beautiful women or ladies not stunning. Additionally, for women to be acknowledged and accepted by others, particularly cherished ones, who can not manage something. Consequently, designer handbags become necessities for the ladies to win the favor of others.

Chanel has arrive to represent outstanding high quality and design of its complete line of accessories for women. The emblem is synonymous with class style and pattern setting, whilst merging both with supreme comfort. Ladies around the world want to have at least one Chanel accessory during their lifetime and frequently visit fantastic to attain this goal.

However, Chanel bags are too expensive to permit many individuals. Whilst there are a few individuals who invest their entire month’s wage to purchase Chanel bag, it tends to make no feeling. Since the whole month, may be due, that is enjoyable in the finish? This seems to Chanel replica bags for many individuals to solve an economic issue. Replica Chanel bags are a lot less expensive and more available to most people. Because there are such a lot of Chanel replica handbags suppliers offer bags and handbags wholesale replica Chanel replica Chanel online, people have more access to approach the Chanel and can afford to purchase them. Handbagseshop is a great on-line website, you are able to choose what you would like. This is not the trigger of one’s debt and excess. It is more tough for ladies to concentrate around the crowd replica Chanel handbags.

Replica Chanel handbags within our shop is very inexpensive labor high quality manufacturers effective, but high take fantastic treatment to ensure the replica they create is tough. They copy all of the nails, style, cut and material to make a handbag that may fool almost all the spectators to think that you are wearing the real thing. In fact, nobody can ever know that Chanel you display so properly around the shoulder costs much less than $ 200

What’s with these replicas, anyway? When you have not seen a duplicate of Chanel, they are identical towards the originals. They have the same logos, colors, designs and types than any Chanel bag that arrives out of the marketplace. And he’s not conscious that the bag in front of you is definitely an imitation.

This is because the producers replica Chanel took account of all elements or particulars, which is surrounded by a real brand Chanel. They consider into consideration the distances the logo is marked, the precise colours a real Chanel item, and of course, style is calculated with it.

I usually change my everyday bags every other week, but depending on where I am going at times, I change my bags more often.  For example, when I go out to the city with friends, I usually bring a clutch/wallet on chain, because carrying a big bag is not ideal when you are in a public setting when are people walking around you at all times.  When I am traveling somewhere, I use the biggest bag I own so I can carry more things because I usually over pack.

This is what I carry in my everyday bag: (I am currently using my Balenciaga City)

From left to right: Blotting papers, a pen, (You never know when you will need a pen!) my house and car keys, hand sanitizer, hand lotion, (for those who wonder, it is L’Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream) a Hello Kitty pouch filled with lip products, wallet, Tic-Tacs, (I’m addicted!) Evian mineral water spray, and tissues.  My phone would be in the picture as well, but it is currently charging.

What do you carry in your bag?  Do you carry a small, medium, or large bag for everyday use?  Do you “live” out of your bag?

Carriers bag useage – on the rise again across the UK

Consumers having for three years reduced their dependence on single-use plastic bags are back, out in force, packing away their shopping.

Bag use declined since 2006 from a staggering 11bn to 6.5bn during 2009 – a massive 40% fall.

2010 has seen a marked shift upwards, away from eco credentials as shoppers forgot their environmentally friendly alternatives and figures recorded at more than 6.8bn, a rise of approximately 5% according to government figures published. Waste and Resources Action Programme (Wrap).

“This isn’t good enough. Retailers need to take responsibility and lift their game to cut down on the number of single use carrier bags they hand out. If results do not improve we will consider additional measures to make this happen, including legislation.” Stated the Minister for Recycling, Lord Henley

Since I’ve been on such a bag kick lately, my friend Hilary asked me to make a bag for her daughter Eleanor as a Christmas present.  I’ve got plenty of scraps from past projects – it’s just a matter of finding the right pattern and picking out the color scheme.  I happened up on the Buttercup Bag pattern Made by Rae For and for some reason I seem to have a ton of pink scraps….

The printable patten is easily pieced together and I quickly cut out all of the pieces.  I made a few quick modifications: First, I shortened the strap on the bag.  The pattern calls for a 20″ strap but since I’m making this bag for four year old, I decided to cut it down to 16″.  I also decided to interface the pieces to give the bag a bit more body.  Amy Butler’s obsession with interfacing everything has clearly rubbed off on to me.

Hilary requested I add an extra special detail to the bag – an appliqued E!  Just in case the bright pink doesn’t put Norman (Eleanor’s little brother) off the notion of stealing it.  So I pleated the bag and attached the top before placing the initial in the right hand corner of the bag.  I used a capital E in the Bank Gothic font about 200pt size.

I attached ultra hold heat and bond to the back of the red fabric before I cut it out and once I decided on the placement, I pressed it down with the iron.  I then went back over and stitched the letter down with red thread.  I think it provides a very sophisticated detail for the little lady purse.

Once the E was in place, I assembled the two exterior pieces together and moved on to the lining.  I put the snap in place, about 1 ” down from top of the lining and installed the pocket as indicated in the directions.

I sewed the lining pieces together and clipped the curves a bit before turning the lining right side out.  I decided to turn the bag through an opening in the top rather than the lining because I’m too lazy for hand stitching.

At this point, I decided to attach the strap to the lining rather than finishing it on the bag exterior.  I folded the long sides in, pressed and folded the strap in half then edge stitched both long sides.  I attached the strap to the ends of the lining and pushed the whole assembly into the exterior shell.

I stitched around the top, leaving an opening for turning.  I turned the bag pushing out all the curves and tucking the fabric at the opening in.  I then edge stitched around to finish the top and close up the opening.  Magic – it’s done!  I can’t wait to send it off to Hilary.
