Forzieri Lucky Charm Python/Croco Leather Mini



Although the infamous Rolling Stones belt out “You can’t always get what you want”, the Forzieri Lucky Charm Beige Python and Croco Leather Mini Bag proves them wrong. This mini bag has it all. For some it may appear like too much is going on, but I just love it. Maybe I’m a little over the top like the bag. This bag features ornate charms of luck, love, and protection. Made of embossed calf leather and lined with lime suede leather, the mini boasts a python and croco styled outside. It’s excessive glam for under $100. At Forzieri for $96 you can buy this awesome mini.

Hermes Leather Lipstick or Gum Case


We have all done it — that pointless “I gotta have it” purchase, and then wonder what we were thinking later on. But a Hermes leather lipstick/gum case? You have got to be kidding me.

Available in yellow, kelly green, and black at I-Global Mall for $199, a little piece of the HermГѓВЁs dynasty can be yours. Someone enlighten me on gum cases please. Since when did they exist, and since when did a name like HermГѓВЁs care about gum?

Mother’s Day Gift Ideas: Diaper Bags



If your mother is a new mother, a new diaper bag is not only a nice idea but a necessity for new mommies and their babies. There are two diaper bags that can be either for a baby boy or girl and can show off the mother’s sense of style (even when she is actually beyond exhausted). First I want to delve into the glorified simplicity of designer Kate Spade with her Kate Spade Large Baby Bag. The baby bag is made of cotton canvas with adorable doodle-print nylon changing pad and lining. Other necessary features include double shoulder straps, leather tie closure, four open and one zipper pocket inside and comes sized at 10½”H X 15″L X 5½”W. I would chose this hot number for a mommie with a new baby boy, because the blue color is simple and divine. For a not so bad price, you can find this baby bag for $325.00 at Saks.



Now for my pick for the mommie with the new baby girl. I know it almost seems arbitrary to buy blue for a boy and pink for a girl, but I like the old-fashioned idea, and can not believe that it would ever go out of style. At first I was going to chose the Burberry Diaper Bag with the signature burberry check style, but decided on this lovely Burberry Quilted Diaper Bag in pink. I assume the store has it in blue also, but online I only see pink, so this is my pick for girls. Not to mention the quilted outside adds a feminine touch. Back to the bag. Burberry features a pink quilted fabric. Making sure it is evident that the bag is made by Burberry, the shoulder strap back is printed in the signature novacheck pattern along with other outer accents. Also it has a flap front with snaps, side pockets, and of course unzips to a changing pad. The bag can be purchased for $216 at Neiman Marcus.
