Spring is coming and so are the new Spring bags

March 16, 2008 by Tricia

Over the past few weeks I’ve been working on two of my new sites and since they are related to shopping and fashion I’ve been reading a lot of fashion related articles in magazines and on the web. I don’t think there’s any chance that I’ll ever be a fashion Diva, but you can be sure I’ll know what all the current trends are and what new products are coming out each season.

So lets talk about handbags and purses. What bags are going to be must have’s this spring? Well, I can tell you that you should be looking at >Drawstring handbags. I think they’ve been popular in one way or another since the 70’s, but they are really coming back in a big way this year.

It also has cell phone pocket as well as an inside zipped section and additional pockets. I love purses that are sectioned or that have pockets inside as it makes it so much easier to keep your bag organized and find things when you need them.

If you’re just not that into drawstring style bags perhaps a Flat tote might have more appeal?

This bright red Dolce & Gabbana flat shopping tote is made of woven patent leather. Isn’t it just gorgeous?

Bright colors are in this year, and so are floral and graphic prints.

Why not carry these trends over to your choice of bags and clutches? We all know that the right purse and the right shoes can make or break and outfit.

Personally I’m not that big on wearing floral patterned tops, dresses or coats. I know they look great on some people and maybe they look good on me as well, but they aren’t to my taste. Now isn’t that interesting given how much I love flowers?

It’s handmade in floral print cotton canvas and it’s also fully lined in Spring green cotton.

Have you purchased a new bag(s) for the Spring season? If you have, or if you’ll be shopping for a new bag soon I’d love to hear what styles and colors interest you most.

I’m sure there are better things to put up your nose

March 16, 2008 by Tricia

The other day we ordered one of my favorite take-out foods. We ordered Greek. I just love it!

Unfortunately when I was eating my salad … actually trying to get the final bit of dressing and feta from the bottom of the container since it tasted so good – I ended up inhaling the salad dressing.

Let me tell you. Salad dressing with tiny chunks of feta cheese inhaled up your nose .. well backwards since I must have coughed it up there – is absolutely no fun.

What’s the strangest thing that you’ve accidentally snorted up your nose.

Now that’s a broken laptop!

March 16, 2008 by Tricia

00033625

What would you do if this happened to your laptop computer? Head over to a computer rental until you could get it fixed?

Maybe … but I don’t think this is anywhere near fixable. Maybe the hard drives data could be recovered, depending of course what exactly caused this laptop to break in half.

I think this person probably needs a new laptop, don’t you?

I think I’d be really stressed if anything happened to my laptop. It’s pretty much attached to me when I’m at home.

I was cringing the other day when I was watching Men in Trees and Marin’s laptop fell into her pond!

He’s in a writing mood

March 16, 2008 by Tricia

Chris and I are still hoping to get out of the house with our puppy sometime today. Oh she’s been taken on walks but we want to go for a walk somewhere different. In fact, our dog trainer gave all of us an assignment which was to give our dogs a new experience this week. Ours was going to be going to the beach yesterday but that never happened.

We haven’t gone out yet because Chris is finally on a role writing some new posts for his blogs. He hasn’t had much time nor been that into writing about music, guitars or musicians lately and his blogs have suffered from a lack of posts as a result. Finally he’s been inspired to write though, so he’s busy preparing some posts that will go up over the week.

I’m filling my time by making new posts too of course. Did you see that last one I posted? The people in the village of Galaxida won’t need any skin lightening treatments today as I’m sure all that flour that they’re throwing around will lighten their skin just fine. LOL Take a look at the video if you have a moment.

They throw flour at each other in Greece

March 16, 2008 by Tricia

Clean Monday isn’t so clean after all.

It’s apparently the first day of Greek Orthodox Lent in Greece and how do they spend their day? Well in the town of Galaxida they spend their day throwing colored flour at each other.

That’s just too weird. Throwing tomatoes, although wasteful, like they do in Spain seems a whole lot more fun!
