Ashlee Simpson UGG Dog Carrier


The phrase ‘zoned out’ can be personified with Ashlee Simpson. New nose, makes new face, makes new ego, makes new ‘zoned out’ empty Simpson sister. Ashlee does love her pet though and sports her pup in an UGG Dog Carrier. The UGG Dog Carrier is made of plush shearling and features rubber mesh on the front, back, and top for fresh air. Practical with tons of storage space and the option of two carrying handles or an adjustable shoulder strap, this pet carrier can keep your best friend riding in style. While Ashlee really does look empty in the picture, I must applaud her choice of pet carrier for not being too expensive for an animal that has the option to go potty in the bag. Buy it through Amazon for $260.

Fendi Canvas B Bag


Not all purse lovers are college football fans, but I am sure many of your significant others appreciate it. This past weekend Vlad and I attended what was touted as the college football rivalry and game of the century, the Ohio State vs. Michigan game. Both Vlad and I met through Ohio State athletics while we were students there and will both love Ohio State until the end of time. For an early Christmas present I managed to find Vlad and I amazing tickets to the game. So this past weekend we were busy watching our team clobber Michigan. We even stormed the field after the game. If you looked on TV at the swarm of Scarlet and Gray (mostly scarlet) we were 2 of the people out there. I carried my Louis Vuitton Damier Speedy with me to the game and realized that to be a true Ohio State fan I need a handbag with team colors. Granted this bag is no where near my usual radar (ironically enough because of the color scheme), it is a viable bag option to carry when cheering on Ohio State.

The Fendi Canvas B Bag is made with natural canvas body and red patent leather on the front buckles, shoulder straps, and outlining. The huge contrast is colors is a bit much for my typical palette, but for Ohio State, this bag has colors that work out well. There is a clasp fastening underneath the front flap closure. Along with the shoulder panels are brass chain handles. Many would think this bag is a tad expensive merely to show school spirit, but if you attended a school like ours, you would understand (and this may be one of the only times your SO will get you



). Buy it via Net-a-porter for $1430.

Expensive luggage viable?



After a very exciting Buckeye weekend, Megs and I took the trip down to South Florida to visit her wonderful family. While waiting for my bag to finally roll out on the conveyor belt in the baggage claim, I noticed a business man in his mid-30s who grabbed a Louis Vuitton PГ©gase 70 and jetted off toward the cabs outside the terminal.

No matter how well I may or may not be doing in life, I could never see myself spending nearly $3,000 on a piece of luggage that I knew would go through an abusive bag hell. It is unnecessary to say that the baggage folks at airports will bang your expensive bag around as much as the next, generic suitcase. Do you think it makes any sense to spend a big premium on designer luggage?
