Top Picks for Gift Giving

Now that we’re all filled with turkey and we have been through the madness of Black Friday shopping for the best tech deals for our favorite brothers, fathers, boyfriends, husbands, and other men in our life, it’s time to focus on us! I was browsing around the other day thinking of what I should get my girlfriends, sister, mother, and such and I came along these great finds that I think would be great for the holidays. All of them can be used for all different purposes and they’re great for all ages.

RIONI Aristo Black Large Boston Bag

This one comes in two additional colors and has plenty of room. It’s roomy, yet surprising keeps all of your necessities organized. This will be a big hit with mothers, sisters, and aunts alike. My favorite feature about this bag is the double side pockets. It adds room to a classical design. This retails at $156.

Coach Hampton Signature Medium Carryall

This bag is great for everyday use and a weekend to the Hamptons of course! It’s the classic Coach design with a unique figure fit for all ages. This retails at $298.

RIONI Heritage Bohemian Bag

The Bohemian Bag is great for everyday use and great to take along on a weekend away. The color scheme is great for a business woman who is a nature girl at heart. I know my girlfriends will love it. This retails at $186.

Dooney & Bourke Crossword Extra Large Domed Carry On

This is a versatile bag in the not so traditional D&B design. It’s big enough to be a weekend or a diaper bag and comes in seven different colors. I think this will be a hit with the woman on the go. This retails at $345.

Gucci Starlight Evening Bag

This is for that girlfriend or woman in your life that you want to impress. It’s elegant and will sparkle during that evening out. It’s small and compact. This retails at $950.

Louis Vuitton Beauty

Hola, my name is Jen and I will be intellectualizing you viewers all about handbags.

I think this bag is quite cute and I am in love with the way this bag sits on any surface. The bag is like a soft couch cushion molding to the contours of one’s buttocks. This is the type of bag that you just throw on the couch after you’ve finished a long day’s work. Enough with the fun talk; it’s time for some serious handbag critiquing.

Now let me tell you about the pros and cons of this handbag. The spacing between the handle and the opening is oval-shaped, which makes this bag a lot easier to wear. However, when I say “wear,” I mean on your forearm ONLY! There is no way that you could wear this handbag over your shoulder unless you are blessed with a model’s physique. The metal hardware clasp is quite elegantly constucted and here I go again with the “however…” However, to some extent it can become an atrocious nuisance.

Close your eyes and imagine this scenario, well don’t actually close your eyes but try to visualize what I am about to tell you. The scene begins with your little Johnny; he just developed a fever of 102 degrees and the teenage babysitter, Sally, that you hired for a $1.50 from Craigslist doesn’t know how to handle the situation; therefore, she decides to call your cell phone (which you left for her to call only in the case of emergencies). Your cell phone begins to ring and as you fumble with the metal clasp on your adorable Louis Vuitton handbag, your embarrassing “Fergie” ringtone continues to chant “Fergilicious.” Finally, wiping off the sweat from your forehead, you get the darn purse open but miss the phone call. Unfortunately, since you set your house number to private, it shows “Private Number” on your cell phone call log. You think to yourself for a minute, who could it be? And to great dismay, you cannot figure out who just called.

For now I’ll leave the rest of the story up to the viewers’ imagination.

“Little Guy with a BIG Bang”

Hey everyone, I’m Athena. I will be gracing all you lovely viewers with comments and handbag knowledge. Here is my first installment!

RIONI Signature Evening bag is absolutely one of my favorites. It’s known as the baby bag because it’s the smallest bag RIONI carries. It’s definitely a little guy with a big bang. Not only am I able to carry this evening bag out on special occasions, but my girlfriends loved it! I suggested to one of my friends to purchase this bag as a bridal gift for her brides’ maids because she was just stuck on what to get. She wanted something they would all like, but affordable at the same time (we all know how expensive weddings can be). She was excited when I showed her the bag (and so were the brides’ maids when they got them). I recently also had to plan another girlfriend’s bachelorette party…boy were they a big hit there as party favorites! It’s definitely my baby!
