Fire!
What an awesome idea! Handbag designer extraordinaire Evon Cassier made this colorful and versatile bag from a recycled firefighter’s jacket! Via NotCot
Simply put…
I was thinking this weekend that I sure do spend a lot of time writing about “stuff.” I love beautiful, creative design. It inspires me to keep my creative spark alive. However, this weekend while sitting at the beach and listening to the sound of waves, I was reminded that the most beautiful design is...
Oh Boyy!
PPW, or price-per-wear is often how I justify things. For instance, my favorite bag of all time is a giant black leather Coach bag sans-C’s (they don’t make it anymore) which cost over $400. I bought it back in 2001 and still use it to this day. It literally holds everything and I’ve used it...
Purple (Yellow, Black, Red, Etc.) Rain
But for a brief ray of sunshine early this morning (gracias, amigo), I am drenched. Mind body and soul. Figuratively and literally, positively and negatively. I am guessing you don’t want details so I will move on. I am supposed to be on the road right now, but instead I am waiting for yet another...
An Eye For Jacob
7am is a PERFECT time to start drilling through the cement next to my apartment. Gracias city of Boston. Seriously, this is insane. Anyway, now that I am fully awake… Today’s designer is Jacob of Jacob’s Eye. Jacob is a self-taught artist and craftsman who hails from Kingston, Jamaica. Since 1997 Jacob has been the...
Magnificant-Mandinka
I just wrote this whole long bit about my crazy life history with various cell phone companies — it was like 3 paragraphs long… I concluded with my undying love and devotion to T-Mobile (who, by the way, totally hooked me up with unlimited calling for $50 a month…) anyway, my computer went haywire for...
Give/ Get
Right. So I know I was supposed to be better about writing this week… but you know how it is… I mean, I feel like I literally blinked and now it’s Friday! Anyway, the reason I’m featuring Lauren Bush’s Feed Bags is because I have literally passed by their display a hundred times in...
Rebound… She Scores!
Ok… so technically I am supposed to be in D.C. today, but random things like a never ending flu (seriously Smitty, I didn’t flake!) got in the way. (BTW, if you get the flu that’s going around now…. I am soooo sorry… I was practically unconscious for like 3 days in row). In the Spirit...
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!!! Last night, with the appropriate accompaniments and company, I took time to reflect on 2008. It’s truly a year I will never forget. It’s crazy how life can seem so simple… you know, like everything is all mapped out. It’s almost like following a maze when you already know the way to...
Get Branded!
Nowadays everyone is walking around with little canvas bags. It’s the “thing” to do, you know, looking out for the planet, doing your part, etc. A friend and I were chatting the other day about all the free advertising this new “ecotrend” has produced. Now the women with LV’s, double C’s and Big D’s are...
All Charged Up
I know all about expensive bags… at one point in my life I had a weakness for buttery soft Coach leather… anyway, I’ve come to a point in my life where I think that if a bag is going to cost over $100, it should do more than just hold my stuff… I mean, ideally it would...
