Featherweight Champion of the World

 

 

  

Life is tough and only the tough survive. Most women these days have to work a full time job and be a full time mom. Women should really consider carrying around a utility belt instead of a traditional handbag.  But all kidding aside, our modern lives do require us to carry a lot of “stuff” around every day. As our lives continue get more complex it only adds to the amount of “stuff” we put in our bags. So you have to be one tough woman to be able to carry a bag that weighs 20 pounds every day. Since everyone isn’t Sugar Ray Leonard in disguise, I will recommend one of my favorite Lightweight bags. The Rioni Utopia, The fabric used to make the bag is very durable, stain resistant, and water repellent. The entire bag weighs only a few ounces and does not sport the “Please Mug Me I am Loaded” look.

What does your Handbag Say About you?

Everyday women are concerned with how we look, what we dress, what kind of makeup we were, what designers we’re sporting, and what trends are now the “IT” thing. All these things make a statement about who we are. The same goes with handbags even though we might not think so in everyday life. Many of us might think that we just buy a handbag for its functions, others for collecting purposes, others just because we like the color or style- but all these things really do reveal what type of person we are.

If you carry a…

Classic tote, maybe like ones from Kate Spade or Burberry you have a tendency to be or consider yourself to be a strong, smart, and a professional woman. I myself love to buy and carry totes and think they look great and are so practical.

Evening Bag, such as ones like Chloe Gina in a nude washed leather you like a more casual but classy look, which suggest you’re a woman that is personable and friendly.

Large bag, like the Palazzo bag by Fendi, you’re a woman that loves to show the world your creativity. It’s bold without being too overwhelming.

Stylish bags with plenty of pockets, you show the world that you’re a woman that’s prepared for anything. You like to keep things organized and neat, and can find anything at a drop of a hat. The RIONI collection is one of the best choices if you’re this type of woman.

Messenger Bag then you’re a woman that is known for your ability to work well under pressure. You have a clear, cool head and messenger bags have the practical function and style that suits your personality. Hot ones to check out are messenger bags by DKNY and Marc Jacobs.

A Big urban inspired bag that means you’re a latest trends gal. You like to know what’s in and kept in the loop.

A bold colorful bag, it shows that you are a fun and flirty gal. You’re definitely more of a free spirit and dreamer. A great suggestion is Juicy Coutoure…but most likely you’re already carrying it!

What about SIZE?

If you like to carry very small purses on a daily basis such as a simple clutch, it shows that you’re the type that likes to be on the go- all you need is your credit card and lipstick.

If you like to carry enormously big bags that means you’re part of the hot trend this season, as well as shows that you’re a type of person that can take care of yourself.

What about COLOR?

I don’t like to think of color as restrictive where the colorful is for the young, and the dull is for the old. If you like colorful colors then you tend to be a bold and cheerful person. If you love brown and black you tend to be a down to earth person that likes the classic. No matter what color, just go with the color that makes you happy.

Ladies let me know what you think. Do these sound like who you are?

Large bags are expensive – Should I invest in one?

Interest rates are dropping, what should we do to get the most out of our dollar? You may want to consider one of the following handbags:

Large Hobo Carrier – There is no doubt that this handbag is simply beautiful! The goldenrod butterscotch color is stunning and trendy.  The main zipper entrance is practical and convenient. Usually when you carry larger bags, you are more likely to fill your bags with more goodies. So wouldn’t it be terribly disappointing if you were to accidentally tip over your handbag and see all your VIP club cards, keys, snacks, and cosmetics fall towards the contaminated dirt ground?  Enough said though, this tote also has other benefits as well. The three easily accessible compartments snaps open with magnetic clasps enabling you to organize your belongings effortlessly. Price: $315

Tote Organizer – To tell you the truth, this bag is not practical at all. This type of bag is made for those unique individuals that just want to stand out from the crowd. This bag should be held either on the forearm or carried by hand. You would think such a large bag would come with a shoulder strap, but unfortunately this rebellious bag does not succumb to traditional ways. This bag is hot and a definite head-turner; however, it reminds us girls that beauty comes at a price. Price: $216

So start consolidating all your belongings and try investing in one of the bags above.
