I’m proud to say I’m getting better at doing two things when I leave the house. Taking my handy non-plastic bag. I love BYOB or else I use keep a foldable nylon pocket one in my purse.
The other thing is a purse hook to protect my handbag from getting wrecked or stolen. Smaller than the size of some pocket mirrors is ClipChic - a "must-have" fashion accessory. This slick handy purse hook wraps around the circular top, so it’s not awkward and bulky like some of the original hooks.
Alot of purse hooks can get a bit pricey, but this one is only $19…even better Get 25% off!

I spent last nite resurrecting my high school crush on Nick Rhodes. Duran Duran kicked off their North American tour in Vancouver.
A mass of 30ish women (and their loyal boyfriends in tow) holding up cell phones, screaming to ‘Rio’, echoing bad dance moves and living in the 80’s.
I forgot how genuinely fun this band was - I really had a great time. Oh, and I must admit that Simon Le Bon did the least painful introduction of the band - that I’ve ever experienced at a concert. He actually made it fun.
This time I wasn’t working, so my seats weren’t as fantastic as when I was working the Kanye West gig. But I still managed some good shots.Um, and that’s me groovin away to ‘Save A Prayer’.
When in Rome? Maybe not, but I am still on a quest for the perfect gladiator sandals. They were around last summer, but this summer they’re going to be a very hot trend. My coveted spring purchase this year is: gladiator sandals.
I’m already betting that by end of summer I’ll have about four pairs - and one of them will be gold. But first pick!
Nine West Jobilyn (right) have been on the list for comfort & a crazy amount of colors to choose from at just under $100. I was surprised that the gold too pale for what I wanted, and instead I left the store with a light grey pair. The light colors look best in this style because there’s this subtle black trim on the edges.
If you’re out to splurge the gladiators I’d most love are these (left) Giuseppe Zanotti’s gladiators for $650, quite a lot for sandals (insert drool here). But if you’re looking for a budget option then both H&M and Urban Outfitters have black or brown versions for under $50.
O Magazine’s has featured Lug Travel, quality and innovative travel accessories, on the O List. Oprah loves the Puddle Jumper bag, which now comes in two sizes.
Their products are specifically designed to keep you organized, in control, and looking good. Spa green, chocolate brown or jewel colors.
Lug is a small Toronto-based company that’s been growing fast. Tons of new products - the latest being it’s Nap Sac travel blanket.
I love the collection of transparent cases that you can mix and match. In green, I bought a combo of the Freight Box Storage Container with the Clear View Train Case - stylish toiletry kit with transparent sides so you can see all the goodies you have packed inside.

Petra Nemcova was theitlists.com’s it girl last August and is getting ramped up to shine again this summer.
Rampage has just announced that this summer Petra will be modeling their sexy swimwear along with their entire spring and summer 2008 collection. You can expect this as Rampage’s mark of turning up the notch on their styles, and some hot ads if her topless jeans shots are a sign.
The new collection is just as hot as Petra - and the swim suits are cute one pieces swimsuits and bikinis in bold patterns.
In a time when “green”,“organic” and “eco-friendly” aren’t just mainstream terms, but also mantras, the idea of going green is understood to be so important yet they also conjure up images of giving up the luxuries you love. But now environmentally conflicted consumers can take heart with this new book:
Green Chic: Saving the the Earth in Style by Christie Matheson is a girlie book about going green. It’s written in a chatty format that’s easy to read. More like a girl dishing her fav green nuggets to the eco-curious.
Celebrate Earth Day with some tips on wash and care of all your pretty things to how to be savvy about cosmetic packaging. Some of the info is more of a reminder, but the book is packed full of online resources and info on “why” to make eco-choices.
This color-customizing moisture-rich cream lets you pretty much “dial-a-tan”. By twisting the adjustable dual-chambered dispenser, you can mix up whatever level of color you need to pump.
Start out a with a little lighter and then gradually you can kick your color up a notch and rock that tan in a hurry.
The exclusive formula also helps smooth out skin’s imperfections — bringing out skin’s natural radiance because you get Aveeno’s added benefit of natural ingredients like soy and chicory extract.
Designers this spring have thrown in a touch of color - in contrast to previous seasons’ emphasis on neutrals. Neon is trying to make a comeback in the mainstream fashion scene with the latest neon color trend from Nixon, Diesel, Chris Benz, and more.
Popular colors of neon green and hot pink or even brighter varieties of orange and yellow - straight from the 80’s. I’m hyped for all the retro 80’s fluorescent fashions that are lighting up this spring season. Anything 80’s goes for me!
Take a chance and wear this neon bright pink Nixon Vega watch. Or glow even more with this sexy neon pair of bright yellow Diesel stretch jeans.
You just might need shades, these colors can blind you. But dare to be bright no matter what your selection, retro-glow is this season’s new beau!
Body slimmers just keep on getting better. And really they’re not necessarily all about slimming, but rather shaping and making your clothes look better. Pencil skirts, skinny capri pants, figure hugging dresses…all creating problems that Secret Slimmers shapewear line is reading to smooth out for us.
* Unless you’re a die-hard thong fan or go commando - then you’ve dealt with "VPL" (Visible Panty Lines).
Answer:Tummy Shaper Pantyhose. Plus, they have a Thigh and Tummy Shaper Capri that’s supposed to stay cool even in hot weather.
* That sexy little cocktail dress would be gorgeous on you if it wasn’t interrupted by lumps and bumps, but holding your breath all day to maintain that smooth line is not an option.
Answer: I felt pretty awkward squishing & squirming (and giggling) my way into the Secret High Waist Shaper Panty. But after a bit they were actually comfortable and I was surprised they really made a difference to my jersey knit dress.
High fashion McDonalds? Say it’s not true! Yes, McDonald’s Tomato McGrand commerical is so glammed up it will be hard to not be "lovin’ it". Enjoy this You Tube…
