 Bag Of The Week: Grand Street Disco City Bag

Really, no outfit is complete without the perfect bag. Foley + Corinna has created a bag that is both lust-worthy and practical. This Grand Street Disco City Bag is super sleek! It’s perfect for a city gal who doesn’t have time to mess around! I love the criss-crossed straps down the front of the bag; it’s tastefully done so as to avoid looking tacky and overwhelming.

 Lacy Looks For Summer!

While many of our favorite lace garments belong in our drawer of un-mentionables , the look of lace in your everyday outfits has a lingerie-like lust effect on the on-lookers. The see-thru floral ringlet design is perfect for a summery look and feel, as the whole idea around lace as a fabric is for it to be light and airy. The best part — a little flash of lace can go a long way

 Yay or Nay: Is Fearne Cotton overdoing the Multiple Mulberry look?

It’s no secret that The Bag Lady is a huge Mulberry fan, and Fearne Cotton is currently one of the brand’s biggest ‘ambassadors’. Most of the time she wears the bags well enough, but I have to say, we’re becoming a bit tired around here of seeing Ms. Cotton laden down with several pieces of the luxury luggage (and no, it’s not just jealousy talking!) in a way that does them no favours at all

 Review of the Casio G-Shock GW-2000

Casio G-Shocks play many roles: fashion icons, hardcore tool watches, respectable divers, etc. Today, we look at something of a new phase for the G-Shock line in the form of a “multi role fighter.” The Casio G-Shock GW-2000 sports aviation styling while retaining the GMT features of many of its older siblings. The GW-2000 combines the radio controlled technology which Casio is now famous for with a refreshed style more reminiscent of the MR-G series.

 Seventh Generation strikes deal with the devil, er, Walmart

The temperature must be dropping in Hades—at least according to the forecasting of Seventh Generation co-founder Jeffrey Hollender. For years, Hollender maintained that “hell would freeze over” before his company’s eco-friendly products would be sold in Walmart. The time is nigh, according to the Wall Street Journal , which reports that Seventh Generation laundry detergent, dish soap, all-purpose sprays, and disinfectant wipes will be sold in about 1,500 Walmart stores starting next month.
