It’s the last day to put in your guess for a chance to win a gorgeous Louis Vuitton Epi Alma bag, an LV key and coin pouch in Epi Leather or a chic LV scarf! The contest runs out Saturday night at 11:59pm EST… so register with the forum before it’s too late!
Julia Roberts is a known name and face across the world, and now her niece Emma Roberts is breaking further into the spotlight as the new face for Dooney & Bourke. Emma has been chosen as the D&B line’s spokesperson and will be seen sporting her own style bag in the October ads in Teen Vogue. I suppose her style is black background with cute bumble bees, but maybe there will be some sort of Nickelodeon twist to her style bag (yes, she is the star of Nickelodeon’s “Unfabulous”).
While Dooney & Bourke’s past lines have not wowed me, I know a younger age group may find the Dooney & Bourke Bumble Bee Line. I cannot see myself carrying the Bucket Bag ($140 via D&B), but I do think the Bumble Bee ID Coin Purse ($65 via D&B) is really cute.
Not so “phat” in my opinion.
As many of you remember, last week was my birthday. At this time of year I typically schedule most of my Dr check up’s – dentist, eye, yearly exam, dermatologist, etc. And with every passing birthday, another year is tacked onto my age. I consider myself somewhat young still, but my physician is very proactive to keep my body in tip-top shape. This year he persistently asked me if I was getting enough calcium- which the answer to the question was ‘most likely no‘. So instead of a lollipop, I received tips to avoid osteoporosis and up my calcium intake. I want to share a bit of information with all of you ladies; so we can all age as gracefully as the bags we buy 
Perfect to take on the go and perfect for my daily intake of calcium and vitamin D are Citracal Creamy Bites. The creamy bites come in 3 flavors; chocolate, caramel and lemon cream. A major perk of these calcium supplements are they do not need to be taken with food like others- and contain no trans fats! You can never start to young protecting your bones- just like you can never start too young buying handbags!!! I always forget to take my vitamins and supplements, but the beauty of the creamy bites are you can easily throw them in your bag and eat one each day when you see it in your purse (notice my lovely Chloe Paddington Tote!). More info via Citracal. Join me in protecting our bones so we can carry our bags and buy some Citracal Creamy Bites through Walgreens for $8.99 for 30 or order them through American Rx.
I can’t believe it’s been a year already. Time has passed so quickly… In the year after its official introduction on September 13th, 2005, the Purse Forum has grown to one of the biggest fashion-related forums (if not the biggest) on the Internet. We are approaching our millionth post with huge steps, we have more and more fantastic contributors coming in daily who make tPF the special place that it is. Not only is it an essential handbag lover resource site, but also a very friendly community with thousands of caring, compassionate and friendly individuals. Megs and I are stoked at the wonderful growth that our community has gone through, and therefore we thought that is was time to give back to our members!

Good luck, and thanks to all of our readers and forum members, and those who will become members in the future!

Today is the last day before the big anniversary announcement, I suggest you head over to this forum thread and check out the latest preview.
Obviously, I also encourage you to stop by tomorrow and see how you can score free Louis Vuitton goodies
Gotta love news like this:
It was a crime of fashion, and a lot more serious than wearing white after Labor Day.
Seguin police were suspicious when the driver of a cargo van that crashed Monday on Interstate 10 started acting nervous when they asked about all those boxes with Chinese writing.
Expecting to find drugs, since I-10 is a popular route for narcotics smugglers between San Antonio and Houston, fashion-conscious Seguin police instead found bogus designer purses, wallets, belts and other swanky accessories valued at $400,000.
Detective Sgt. Maureen Watson said some might be taken in by the Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Fendi, Coach, Christian Dior, Burberry and other merchandise, but it didn’t hold up to close scrutiny from Seguin’s fashion police.
“I love purses, and I hang out in that part of the department stores all the time,” Watson said Tuesday.
“If you examine the purses, the stitching, the materials, are not good quality. They smelled like vinyl, not leather, and when you buy an expensive purse, it’s usually in a cloth bag. These were in paper bags.”
The 21 large boxes contained 782 purses, more than 200 wallets and other items.
The driver, a 40-year-old woman from San Antonio who was traveling with her 15-year-old daughter, told police she was headed to Houston, when another vehicle cut off the van. She overcorrected and the van rolled. The driver and her daughter both sustained minor injuries.
Watson did not identify the two occupants of the van. They were released pending further investigation.
Dear Detective Watson, you are the quintessential purse protector that we need on our forum! via MySA.com.
