Bag of the Week- Madewell’s Brownstone Suede Minibag
The boyfriend and I love going to concerts together, and there is nothing worse than lugging around a large handbag when trying to squeeze up to the front of the crowd or show off my dancing skills. I hate being the annoying girlfriend asking my boy to load up his pockets with my camera , phone, i.d.

Sunday School Lesson 36: Isaiah 1-6
Scriptural Background The Savior tells us, “great are the words of Isaiah” (3 Nephi 23:1), and he commands us to search them diligently. (Towards the end of Book of Mormon history, Mormon repeats that command: Mormon 8:23.) Nephi tells us that his soul delights in Isaiah (2 Nephi 11:2), but he also tells us that many of his people did not share his experience: “Isaiah spake many things which were hard for many of my people to understand” (2 Nephi 25:1). A good number of us have had the experience of Nephi’s people rather than of Nephi

Limited edition Fashion’s Night Out Snowcap cupcake at Magnolia Bakery popup shop in LA
Brand X reports that Magnolia Bakery in Los Angeles will be setting up a popup shop for Friday’s Fashion’s Night Out and selling this special, and delicious-looking cupcake!

Los Angeles newcomer Magnolia Bakery will hold a pop-up shop at the Ron Herman store at Fred Segal on Melrose Avenue — just blocks from the New York-based dessert shop’s new 3rd Street outpost — on Friday, joining the Vogue-sponsored second annual shopping celebration with a special cupcake to mark the occasion

Chinese Government Nabs Prestigious Animal Welfare Award
The following is a cross post from PETA Asia-Pacific’s blog, The Hot and Sour Scoop . Mention China and animals in the same sentence and visions of foxes and raccoon dogs who are skinned alive for fur often come to mind. But in what many hope signals the beginning of a turnaround, China’s State Forestry Administration (SFA) has placed a landmark ban on animal shows in zoos and circuses throughout the country

A Green Version of Groupon?
A new website, Green Box Top, is a San Francisco-based project that offers daily deals (a la Groupon ) on the services of local eco-friendly businesses .

Chimpanzees: Smarter Than Trappers
belgianchocolate / CC by 2.0 We know that chimpanzees have keen intelligence and advanced cognitive skills, so it’s no surprise that scientists observing wild chimpanzees in Guinea watched them deliberately set off snare traps designed to catch and kill them (and any other passing animal)—while avoiding harming themselves.

Diane Von Furstenberg Stephanie Mink Clutch
I have to say I’ve never been a big fan of the fur handbag or even fur charms to attached to a handbag. I’ve watched a myriad of styles emerge from wide range of designers and nothing really spoke to me as something I would potentially own. It’s either too impractical, over-the-top or uber-expensive.
