Planet LuLu*s

Planet LuLu*s

I’m not much of a shoe person… but I almost fell out of my chair when I saw these adorable heels from Naugthy Monkey. The [...]

The never ending search for the perfect bag…

The never ending search for the perfect bag…

I may have found it. In my never ending search for the perfect bag, I landed on Star 50′s Louisiana Market Sac, I just may [...]

All charged before Noon

    Ugh! Running late again! Plus, my cell phone battery is almost dead… and I know I’m going to need my iPod at work [...]

A True Star!

I am by no means a Southern Belle. In fact, over the years I think I have mastered the cold, east coast girl demeanor that [...]

Plastic Bag Rehab!

  So… for a while I was buying method products because Target has tons of their stuff (and I secretly love Target) and because they [...]

Fall for a bag

  With darker mornings, cooler temperatures, and the passing of Memorial Day I know that fall is fast approaching (September 23, if I’m not mistaken). [...]

Step Stylishly, Reduce Your Footprint

  I would be lying if I said I was bored with fashion… at the same time, the cycle of buying it (or receiving it), [...]

Hot Like Fire

Reuse, recycle, and rebirth. Finally people are starting to get the point about this whole “taking care of the earth” thing (it has certainly taken [...]

Fair Trade/ Fab Bags

Nappy Soldier in the City of Dope

A lot of people have dual personalities. Your “work self” and your “real self.” I found this to be true when I was working at [...]

Welcome Back….

….. and I’m back. Belize was a blast… but I won’t bore you with the details because I hate it when people go on and [...]

Sleep/ Shop I won’t be doing either for a long time

Mmmm… see that big comfy pillow from Swigg? I won’t be seeing that for a while… Alas, my giant bar/bri book has become my pillow [...]

If you’re like me during the summer, you’re always on the lookout for that perfect beach day. Unfortunately, if you’re really like me, the beach [...]

Cuffed for Your Crimes

I’m always losing things. Example 1: Expensive daily planner which contains every address I’ve ever collected plus every appointment I’ve ever made… Lost: Post Office [...]

Get in the Loop!

Rescued rubber inner tube purses? Keyboard key magnets? A diskette notebook? What’s going on here?! If you answered: “The fantastic fusion of social consciousness and [...]

World According to…

Handbags are a dime a dozen. Truly, most of the time they bore me. The “doctor” bag, the “detective bag”… whatever. I tend to gravitate [...]

Refinding what’s lost….

Whenever the seasons change I find myself in a place of re-evaluation. Especially around spring when everything is new. I start to think about other [...]

I’m “elseware” at the moment…
