Ted Rossi Python Shoulder Bag

Ted Rossi Python Shoulder BagStyles never cease to change, but there are always a few that stay in style no matter what. Snake skin is one. And this Spring 2005, it is once again all over the runways. One of my favorites is the Ted Rossi Python Shoulder Bag. The shape and style of the bag screams out for attention, and let’s face it, the bag speaks for itself.

Made of genuine python and gold leather exterior and blue and purple leather accents, decorated with gold buckle detail and studs gives the bag edge over many others. It also has a leather and gold chain handle (10″ drop), fuchsia bengaline interior and is about 11 x 3 x 6 inches. If you want to totally make the look yours, top it off with Ted Rossi Python Bangles. But python skin doesn’t leave the wallet heavy. This bag will cost you around $328, but when you look that good, who cares?

It seems celebrities these days are having babies left and right and of course you know these super star parents would never carry just any diaper bag. Their bags are as diverse as their babies names which means they are totally original and one of a kind.

You’d like to grab the look of the endless list of hip celebrity mommies like Hillary Swank, Susan Sarandon, Annette Bening, Faith Hill, Cindy Crawford, Angela Bassett, Kelly Preston, Kelly Ripa, Jenny McCarthy, and Julia Louis-Dryfuss? I’ve found the bag for you.
These mommies are carrying around their babies diapers and goods in the Timi and Leslie Diaper Bag which lets the mom be unique and in style at the same time.

Now, I will be the first to admit that the sight of bright colored and fun looking purses let me know spring is ont he way, and I can not wait! It’s time to move from this bitter Winter to Spring, and what better way to enter Spring than with a totally new, hip, fun-loving purse?! Fun is probably the idea behind Fashion Dolls Spring line.

The purses are shaped and colored with the entire mood of Spring in mind. I can’t help but look at the bag and think of the sun shining, cute skirts, sunglasses and of course, a new and totally fashionable tote. Fashion Doll has already appeared in Glamour, CosmoGirl, Self, Seventeen, and Good Morning America.

So grab one quick, and be the first of your friends to sport this totally trendy and carefree bag for the upcoming season!

Want to nab the look from MTV’s hottest show Laguna Beach?

Cameron Diaz sporting Loli Bag Well look no further. I myself loved the bag LC carried throughout MTV’s hit show Laguna Beach and realized that bag is quite the growing trend. A newly growing company is making this same hobo style bag, Lolli by Reincarnation, which runs upwards of $300 plus dollars for that totally trendy and practical bag.

Stars such as Cameron Diaz, Lindsay Lohan and the Olsen Twins have been seen sporting the newly trendy Lolli bag. The perks to this bag are the plethora of colors offered that can suit any girls needs for any outfit, but the price is a bit high. Starting at $300 for the medium bag and running up over $1500 for the bag made of Ostrich leather, the Loli bag may not be in everybody’s price range.

Have no fear, there is a way you can grab the same style for a quarter of the price, and nobody has to know. LC from Laguna Beach did this, and pulled off the bag quite nicely. A hobo style ring bag made by MELIE BIANCO is taking the same trend as the stars but costs between $50 and $65. So quickly girls, go steal either style, whichever suits your budget, and grab the hottest trend of the season.

Rent-a-Purse – What a novel idea

Jan 26, 2005 / Posted in Trends by Megs Mahoney Dusil.

Bag, Borrow Or Steal Purse Rentals Movie rentals, tux rentals, car rentals and now purse rentals?? Seems totally outlandish, but actually who came up with such a brilliant idea? Although we all want to be like the famous quad from Sex and the City, face it girls, we can’t always have a different bag for a different day, attitude, outfit, and occasion.

So the brains behind Bag, Borrow or Steal have devised a one of a kind idea in purse rental. You can either sign up for Diva, Princess, or Trendsetter status; Diva being the most expensive bags. Within your status (determined by the price you pay for your monthly fee) you can rent a bag for as long as you want. And when you decide you need a change, send the bag back and choose a new bag. The idea behind the concept appeals to the girls who want to keep up with the always changing purse trend for each new season. So I say why not?
