One of the best things you can do is start to think a little more carefully about where you put it.  Instead of the restaurant floor, hang your bag on the back of your chair or keep it on the seat beside you.  Same with the car, give it a seat. 

A weekly washing would also really help keep your bag looking well.  Just a quick go-over with a damp cloth or sanitizing wipe is great.  Don’t forget the handles with can turn dark with natural oils.  Try to keep control of what’s going in the bag, too.  No more sticky, dirty, icky stuff.  Find a trash can, instead.  And empty your bag of all its contents and wipe the lining clean periodically, removing anything that might have caused a problem there.

Finally, find a spot at home where your bag can go that isn’t the floor.  Do you have a shelf, table or even a nice basket near the door that can harbor your bag until the next time?  Your bag will love you for a little tender care.

Most of my readers share my appreciation of replica handbags. Occasionally, even those of us dedicated to our replicas might entertain the thought of buying a designer original. I must have been having one of those moments when I decided to explore ShopBellaBag.

Layout/Design

While the site had a “pretty” and feminine appeal; the first thing I noticed was their slogan, “Be Yourself, Be Authentic, Be Bella.” Well aware this site sells used designer originals, I immediately wondered how someone can be “themselves” when they are buying something that belonged to someone else. Perhaps their purpose is to divert shoppers away from replicas. However, replica handbags are in fact, authentically designed, yet simply inspired by its original predecessor. Furthermore, once I finally located their selections, I was less than impressed by the collection of “has beens” on this site.

Product Range

You’ll find products here from top-of-the-line designers such as Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Gucci, and Hermes. Considering the fact this is a site designed to buy and sell used products, many of the products will not be from the designer’s current, most up-to-date collection.

Quality

If I was to venture a guess, I would say the pictures seen on the Shop Bella Bag site are either digitally altered to mask any evidence of wear and tear, or perhaps not the “actual” product. With that said, I strongly caution buyers to remember that when you shop on this site you are buying someone else’s used goods. Furthermore, in addition to buying products that have likely already suffered a certain amount of wear and tear, you’re getting “outdated,” or “last year’s” styles.

Prices

Seriously, if I wanted to spend $1,900 or more on a single used product, I’d buy a used car. The price of a single handbag on Shop Bella Bag can often be double, and sometimes even triple the price of a single brand new, high-quality replica handbag.

Payments & Policies

You have two payment options with Shop Bella Bag, credit card or PayPal. While they don’t many options in regard to payment, I did find their layaway option interesting. Keeping in mind it is a layaway option, not credit, you can opt to make four separate installments prior to receiving your purchase.

Some CONS:

• Overpriced
• Used products
• Site Navigation – Difficulty locating the product selection

CONCLUSION:

The site is deceivingly attractive. Sadly, I foresee many women attracted to the appeal of owning a designer original being drawn to this site and subsequently spending too much on used products when they could own a brand new product at a fraction of the cost and still look like a million bucks. Rating: 2.0 of 5 stars.

Kourtney Kardashian is one of many celeb moms who wear necklaces which are monogrammed for their children.  Kourtney’s magnolia charm is engraved with Mason’s initial and his birthdate on the back so it is always close to her heart. Initial necklaces are so popular with moms and some wear individual necklaces for each child. 

Jennifer Hudson loves this great watch which has multiple functions and comes in fabulous colors to match all of mom’s outfits.  Today, trendy moms are moving away from sleek black or traditional metal watches to pink and blue bands, diamond surrounded faces and even funky face colors like green, blue and yellow. 

Every mom loves shoes, and a pair of strappy sandals would make any mom happy this spring.  Go for popular and trendy snakeskin, or classic espadrilles or simply comfortable leather sandals.  And another perfect gift is a bag.  What mom doesn’t love a new bag, and we always need them.  Designer original or replica handbag, it doesn’t matter.  Go for great shape and style and fun color.  In fact, mom just might be proud of you for buying a replica bag.  After all, isn’t she always saying you should save your money?

Happy Mother’s Day, Mom.

Whether I’m shopping online or in the store, I like to enter the “establishment” with some sense of direction. I also like to feel welcomed and encouraged to venture further into the store. I’m pleased to report that BagaHolics does just that, and am excited to share this review with you today.

Layout/Design

After just a few seconds on this site, I felt an instant attraction. The site was clearly identified, with its simple, yet elegant and attractive logo clearly displayed. They showcase a variety of replica handbags and list all of the designers clearly on the homepage with links to their products, thus providing its users with the convenience easy navigation.

Product Range

The products found at BagaHolics.com are the epitome of elegant and luxurious style. With that said, you’ll find replicas of your favorite designers like Chanel, Gucci, Prada, Hermes, and many others. In addition to their fabulous replica handbags, you’ll also find great designer shoes, watches, and accessories.

Quality

Baga Holics obviously understands the true value of great quality replica handbags, as they offer one of the best selections I’ve seen so far. The designers of these handbags have obviously done their homework, as they are crafted to perfection, designed to bear such a strikingly similar look to the original, one can hardly tell the difference, if at all!

Prices

Considering the great quality and selection, the prices are outstanding. I expected the price range, which starts at about $250, to be much higher.

Payments & Policies

Like many of their competitors, BagaHolics.com accepts Master card and Visa. They also accept payments made through Western Union, bank wire and international money orders, thus giving their customers a wide range of payment options to choose from. They charge a flat rate of $40 for shipping and handling worldwide.

Some CONS:

• They don’t accept PayPal as a form of payment.
• Shipping costs may be high at times, depending on size of purchase.
• While they responded very quickly to my e-mail inquiry, I was unable to find a telephone number on the site.

CONCLUSION:

Overall, this is a dream site for fans of replica handbags. They offer an outstanding array of products fashioned after some of the most sought after designers. Not only do they have a great selection of products, they provide all of the information necessary for the buyer to make an informed decision, such as a full product description, pictures of varying views, and payment and return policies are detailed and easily accessible on the site. Visiting BagaHolics has been a refreshing change from a lot of the disappointing sites I’ve stumbled upon lately. I give this site a Rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars.

A good Mom Tote needs to have an open top with easy access, though a magnetic snap or zipper closure are great for when you do want to secure your bag’s contents. Your bag needs good strong handles for lots of wear.  I like double handles because it allows me to get in the bag while it’s still on my shoulder.  Lots of bags have double carrying handles with a longer shoulder strap, too.  And Mom Totes need lots of pockets.  Inside pockets are essential and outside pockets a big plus.  Jolie’s bag is divided and large enough to hold lots of tot needs.  Lots of moms like a divided bag so that they can separate their stuff from their kid’s stuff.  

Stylish moms like also want designer looks and quality materials like leather trim, stylish fabric and patterns, polished brass trimmings.  Another plus is a bag that can stand on its own; helpful for getting things out when your hands are full.  Don’t forget a key leash closure so that you’re not stuck scrapping the bottom of your replica bag at your car door.

If you feel brave, go for a fantastic full dress and boots.  If you’re feeling a little less venomous, boots and shoes, especially summery sandals are a perfect python look.  I’d never put a snake around my neck, but a serpentine necklace or bracelet is a great touch.

The reptile creations go well from day to evening and they are sexy without being too over the top. They are a great neutral without being boring and match well with bolds and brights.  The scale and variety of snakeskin makes it less aggressive than animal prints and it’s usually more about texture than pattern.

Slithering into a party with a pair of snakeskin jeans feels a little too constricting for you?  Then go with a replica handbag.  Louis Vuitton has several snakeskin patterns in their replica bags which are great to pull off the trendy look.

And snakeskin isn’t just for women.  Men are taking on the mighty python with shoes, belts, biker jackets and jeans. Is it a trend you can take on?

Here’s what my perfect bag would be large.  Unless you’re going out in formal wear (where a smaller clutch is a must), you need a good sized bag for on the go.  It needs to have great leather.  I love a soft, supple leather bag, something that is sturdy enough, yet feels luxurious.  And then, it needs a great color – something distinctive, yet a modern neutral that would go with everything.  I love the color of this bag, and apparently, so does Mary Kate Olsen.

My ideal bag needs lots of outside pockets for keys, cell phones, pens and other immediate access needs.  I like a bag with handles that are short enough for carrying on the arm, but long enough to throw on your shoulder when your hands are full.  A large opening to get into everything is a must.

Inside, the bag should have a fabulous lining, distinctive and yet functional to withstand things being thrown in there.  Divided center pouch is good, especially to keep things organized.  Nice hardware that stays shiny and adds a little touch without excessive weight is important, like Louis Vuitton handbags are well-known for. 

Replica bags are the next best thing to a Build-A-Bag Workshop.  They have nearly everything I’m looking for – shape, material, size, color, features and price.  I think I’ll buy two for spring.

Stylish dog moms, like Kim Kardashian and Jessica Simpson, know how to really transport the puppies in their lives in luxury.  Singer Ciara carries her two darling Maltipoo baby, Tyson and her Cairn Terrier, Georgia, with her everywhere she goes, from the nail spa to the studio.  They travel First Class in their couture Louis Vuitton handbag carrier.  The monogrammed Baxter GM bag can hold up to 44 pounds of curly, doggie fluff and comes with an interior washable rug for easy cleaning.

The Louis Vuitton line of animal travel carriers offers several styles featuring a mesh opening on both ends of the bag with a rolled flap so that you can put it up or leave them down when traveling for kitty’s comfort and Louis Vuitton hardware and signature logo.  Some come with tractable handles for rolling and security straps inside.  But at a price of $1,920 and up, the original bag can be out of reach for most Maltese Mamas.

Replica handbags are the perfect answer!  Replica bags for pets include most of the same features, including an easy and large opening and the mesh window pockets with rolled up flaps and markings on replica bags are indistinguishable to the originals.  Prices for the replicas are $420 which leaves a lot of money in your wallet for kibble.

The backdrop was a super-sized, ethereal white carousel with models riding side-saddle as they entered the runway, including Kate Moss who wore a luminous white baby doll dress with white Barbie style stilettos. 

This spring’s clothing line in luscious pastels was reminiscent of style icons from the 1960s; gauzy layers of organza, suits and dresses, large lacy collars and floral appliques, with even a few fluttery ostrich feather thrown in for a little bit of wow, all in the gentlest of pastel hues, giving the look of a watercolor of fashion.

Accessorizing the daisy fields of eyelet lace dresses were pointy-toed stilettos in pastels and silver.  As no surprise, the Louis Vuitton handbags were stunning.  There were lots of white bags in rich leather, clutches and handbags in sorbet colors such as bright peach, cotton candy pink, lemon yellow and minty green with rich leathers and some with woven overlays over a translucent base and interspersed with some clear plastic handbags with wrapped with the LV logo.  There were even a few faux crocodile bags.  Bags ranged in all sizes from tiny buttery yellow clutches to over-sized grey and white barrel bags. 

This delicious new collection of handbags isn’t within reach of most of us, but you can replicate the unique look and set your own trends this spring with replica handbags in pastels to accent your pastel, lacy dresses and suits.  Choose a replica handbag like this pink sherbet Neo Cabby bag or perhaps this Pont Neuf Epi Leather in sumptuous orange sorbet.

Wearing white can be a little bit tricky, however, so keep these tips in mind.  First, avoid wearing white that is too tight.  A little looser blouse or a flowing dress will give you a cool, comfortable look like Anne Hathaway’s flowing outfit.  Don’t go baggie, use belts and other layering pieces that will help contain all your white.  And be sure to wear a slip, nude or white underwear and check the see-through factor of your white garments.

Second, combine white with bright tones like turquoise, salmon, coral, spring green and pink.  Use white as a neutral base with white wide-leg pants or an a-line skirt and a colorful top, or a crisp white blouse with a pair of bright-tones pants.  White also looks fabulous when combined with other neutrals.  Throw a chunky brown woven belt over a white knit dress and add brown cork sandals and a brown replica bag for a great relaxed look.  Shift to metallic accessories for a date night or party.  Choose gold, silver, bronze – they all look great with white.

Use white as an accent rather than going all white.  White accessories are a perfect way to incorporate the perfect color into your wardrobe.  A great white replica handbag, chunky jewelry or cute pair of white shoes can really set off your outfit and catch attention.  Miley Cyrus sports a Louis Vuitton handbag in white with her raspberry cardi and Kristin Cavallari shows how it is done with white handbag and white shoes looking nautical with red blazer and skinny jeans.

If you decide that white jeans are your style, be sure to get a great fit, not too tight or too lose.  Be careful to wear seamless and neutral underwear that matches your skin tone.

One of the advantages of white is also its disadvantage.  White clothing and accessories are easier to get dirty, but they’re also easy to wash. Carefully follow manufacturer’s care labels, washing your whites separately from other colors.  Use bleach or bleach pens on specific stains, color brighteners as needed.

With a little attention to details, you can break the old fashion rules and set new trends in white.
