Simply Irresistible

As we welcome warm weather with open arms, it quickly comes to a gal’s attention she needs a fresh, new bag to match her upbeat spirit. Now, I love fall and winter but let’s be honest and acknowledge bright colors do not dominate our wardrobe during the chilly months. But with spring begging us to be outside with we cannot help but take a cue from Mother Nature and show off are beautiful hues as well.
And that’s where Berlin Boheme steps in. Their line of bags is, in a word: awesome, striking, awe-inspiring. OK, so that was three words, but I can’t help myself! I have never come across bags such of these; a brilliant mix of European charm and the boldness of the late Alexander McQueen.
The blue clutch feature below is not only electric, but has such intricate detail. This tiny clutch is created with slouchy blue leather embossed ostrich leather at edges and handle. And ladies did I mention handmade by real leather artists. Wouldn’t our friends just swoon with envy with those precious words “slipped” from our mouths? The answer is without a doubt, yes. This clutch like so many of Berlin Boheme’s line is romantic as well as glamorous, but what really makes these bags pop is its subtle hint of edginess. A modern day fashionista can be a rock star and still maintain her feminine side. Don’t just take my word for it visit www.berlinboheme.com to view these treasures. Try and resist falling in love with one, I dare you.

The opening ceremonies of the 2010 Winter Olympics are this Friday! For the next two weeks, people around the world will be glued to their TVs, smart phones and the Internet to see who won each event. The Olympics are not only a time for the world’s top athletes to strut their stuff but also to show off the latest trends. If you are unable to make it to Vancouver, you can still be apart of the Olympic-inspired fashion.
Ralph Lauren is the proud outfitter of the 2010 U.S. Olympic team. The preppy collection features the “Make Your Own” collection. Select pieces can be personalized with your name or a flag. Trust me; you will want to get in on these beautiful items. www.ralphlauren.com
If you are looking for something warmer and more affordable, then visit Hudson Bay Company and purchase the Torchbearer Adult’s Red Mittens. These mittens will be worn not only by the torchbearers, but the Canadian athletes as well. And in case you have not heard, the groundhog saw its shadow…again and half the country is bracing for possibly the worst snow storm on record. It might be the right time to purchase a nice pair of mittens.
Hearts and Minds

Ah, Valentine’s Day. The cards, the flowers, the chocolates, ahem, the jewelry. A day to see how well your man has paid attention to the “subtle” hints you’ve been dropping for the past several weeks. And gentleman, there are two things to make her smile on Valentine’s Day: your heart and jewelry.
Jewelry by Veronique has cleverly created a way to combine both the heart and the jewelry. Adding to her existing line of precious charms and chunky lockets, the latest Veronique pieces include delightful earrings comprised of mesmerizing, crystal hearts. These stunning earrings with opals and amethysts will have even the biggest Valentine’s Day cynic swooning.
No matter the woman, present her with one of these sparkling pieces and you will have her eating out of the palm of your hand… and potentially out of attending a few family functions. Ah, Valentine’s Day, a win win for everyone.
