For full-on patent leather, there’s a Morning After Mini in luxe, glossy black patent. Nobody could get enough of the original Morning After Mini, and now Rebecca Minkoff has added more options for your shopping pleasure.

  Also for the leather lover, look into the Cole Haan Village Hobo or Tote or the B. Makowsky Black Victoria Satchel. The Rebecca Minkoff Morning After Bag Luxe has a little more room than the Mini, with all the great looks. All these bags feature classic styling and the supple leather you expect from a designer purse.

  Let’s say you love leather but you prefer clutches. The Cole Haan Aerin Clutch or the Alexis Hudson Madeline Clutch are great choices. The Cammie Hill Cinch Clutch is a fun, trendy way to do white in the off-season. In shiny patent, you can pull it off. Cara Landy makes a simple black leather clutch, but metallics are still hot, and these are too fabulous to pass up. Add a splash of color to winter with a Cara Landy Navy Embossed Clutch or the Metallic Purple Clutch or stay simple with the Santi Lavender Frame Bag.

  If you aren’t looking for leather, Two’s Company will have you dreaming of summer. The Two’s Company Embroidered Flower Bag or the Gingham Cosmo Bag are fun alternatives, especially if you don’t want to wait for summer and you’re headed somewhere warm. The Gingham Cosmo Bag in blue or yellow gingham makes a great carryon and comes with a convenient matching pouch for odds and ends.

  For something a little smaller, a wristlet might be your cup of tea. The Big Buddha Patent Clutch/Wristlet is perfect for a night out and it’s easy to keep track of in a kicky red. You can find a full line of designer handbags at platinumtrunk.com

  With the variety in the fashion world oozing out into our lives, it was only a matter of time when people would be making use of the various designer wears and accessories. Designer handbags have become pretty popular these days, with several people trying to buy one for themselves.

It must be noted that people make use of any household products to cleanse their nylon bags; but if scrubbed too hard, the bag may be discolored at places.
  5. When you purchase a cloth handbag, it is very difficult to maintain, as you are always scared of it being torn at slight nudge at the corners. Moreover, if the cloth-bags are stained, make sure that you send them over to a trusted dry cleaner rather than doing it yourself, because slightest roughness may damage the bag for good.

• 7 Things To Look For When Buying A Designer Handbag

  Categories: Handbags Comments: 0

  Whenever, you are looking forward to buy designer accessories, the first question that comes in your mind might be whether you would be able to buy the perfect one for yourself or not. This may be challenging as there are a number great designer bags on the market but there are certain measures by considering which, you might get the designer handbag you always wanted. Here are 7 things to look for when buying a designer handbag:

  1. Always give preference to yourself, and try to find out the style that you put up; only then can you find the perfect handbag for yourself. Make sure that the handbag that you are buying goes well with the style statement, which you carry out in general.

  2. At any point of time it is necessary to have an assumption, regarding the budget you can afford to get a new designer handbag for yourself. Once the budget is fixed approximately, you can go out on a shopping spree, and take up the bags fitting you.

  3. When you are about to consider buying any particular handbag, you must make sure to ask about the material, which it is made of. If you feel that the material being used and the one being mentioned are not the same, there is no point in buying the bag.

  4. If you happen to be planning to buy something branded, or pretty showy, then you are often risking the chance to be cheated. On several occasions, it has occurred that the bags, which are being sold with certain brand names, are not original and the price is much lower, than the one being asked for.

• Eco-friendly Pest Control

  14Nov
  Categories: Handbags Comments: 0

  I recently read “The Secret Life of Bees” by Sue Monk Kidd. There’s a character named May who is very sensitive to the lives of bugs and refuses to kill any bug, including roaches. Instead, she lures them out of the house by making trails of graham cracker crumbs and marshmallows to spare their lives.

  Okay, not many of us would go to such great lengths, but there are things that you can do to keep the pests from invading your home or garden…and they don’t involve bottles of pesticide! So beyond using your reusable shopping bags, try to make a green move by following these pest control tips.

  1. Keep it tidy. What do you think brings bugs in the house in the first place? Mainly they are after our food. If you keep your pantry, cupboards and floors free of food debris, you are less likely to have a lot of bugs in the first place. Try not to overstock the pantry which can lead to unused, opened packaging that will attract bugs. Store whatever you can in reusable containers.

  2. Even the tidiest home can have unwanted bugs depending on where you live. Baby powder will get rid of an overabundance of ants in an environmentally friendly way. The ants carry back the bits of powder which ends up killing the colony. Okay, so they have to die, but at least you’re not spraying chemicals to do the deed. Also, cinnamon deters ants. They hate it! Placing a thin line of cinnamon along the areas where the ants are coming in will keep them out. Not only that, but it smells great too!

  3. Outside, use predatory creatures to manage your bug population. If there aren’t a lot of bugs outside, there won’t be a lot inside either. Koi fish can be put in outdoor water features to keep the mosquitoes at bay. Lady bugs and preying mantis are available at garden shops to keep plants free of pesky bugs. If you live in the desert South West, you can attract lizards by keeping plenty of plants in your yard. Geckos also eat the very dangerous bark scorpion so they are really, really beneficial! And, of course, since we’re talking about living green, it’s worth reminding you to bring your reusable grocery bag with you when you go shopping.

  Bird feeders and bird baths will keep enough birds in your yard to catch plenty of bugs. And don’t forget about another flying creature…bats! The bat has a bad reputation that stems from vampire folklore to diseases that the bats may carry. Bats rarely carry disease and even more rarely do they infect human beings. Mosquitoes on the other hand are responsible for millions of deaths worldwide including some in the United States from encephalitis. Bats eat thousands of mosquitoes in one evening’s hunt. Put a bat house on a tree in your yard and watch the amount of irritating mosquito bites plummet!
