You May Never Look At A Handbag The Same Way Again..

This little book is loaded with beautiful pics of purses of all kinds. From the functional to the whimiscal(and there are some really off-the-wall ones included),you'll find it in here besides plenty of interesting facts about different bags and designers as well. I wish it had more "timelines", but, other than that,if you really appreciate the art of handbags(or know someone that does),this tome should be very appreciated..

Gun in Betty Lou's Handbag (1992)

2008-09-29T00:01:00.001-07:00

Betty Lou's coming out tonight

Although it has its good points, this film is generally of the quality of a made-for-TV film--not something I'd recommend buying or renting.

Betty Lou is a librarian who's not getting the attention she wants and arguably deserves from her police officer husband. He's more interested in his work than her.

There's a murder in their town involving a travelling man who's having an affair with a local married woman.

Betty Lou (with her dog) happens to discover the murder weapon. To gain attention she proclaims herself the murderess. Betty Lou, of red hair, is a sympathetic character and it's fun to see her snub all the interrogating male cops (including her husband) who take her for granted. She also befriends a local prostitute while in jail and otherwise asserts herself as she hasn't before.

It's not all fun, however, for there are some southern Mafia characters about led by a particularly evil man named Bodine (how original). There are a few scenes of gratuitous violence that were a big turn off.

The climax is somewhat improbable but something you might expect in a TV movie.

Also, there's a scene in a country bar where the singers (names unknown) recreate faithfully the great Gram Parsons/Emmylou Harris duet of "Love Hurts."

Travelon Leather Expandable Shoulder Bag

Nice Organizer Bag That Isn't Too Expensive

When I broke my arm I purchased this bag so I could still carry a purse when I went shopping. The light colored lining makes it easy to see things inside the bag. If you don't like searching through your bag then this one should be a good choice because it keeps everything well organized.

I still use this bag when I go grocery shopping so I don't have to leave my bag in a cart while choosing items in the store. I have had the bag for more than a year, used it on a regular basis, and it still looks good. If you have problems with shoulder bags sliding off your shoulder, this crossbody bag is a good solution.

It would be nice if each color selection had a matching strap instead of the black that comes on all of the bags.

Large ''Brianna'' Bucket Bag - Black, Brown, Red, Orange or Off-White

It's a Good one

I bought this bag in the olive color, not offered now. I was very happy with the bag. It is very very roomy, carries my stuff beautifully. I'm used to name bags and I definitely see the difference here with the details. But for this price, it was very nice.

Cool Bag

I bought this purse today @ Macy's & I love it so much I'm buying another online in another color (I bought the muted gold one & now I need the brown one too!) The purse is a great size- it has 2 deep compartments on either side of the middle zip, plus another inside zip pouch AND an extra pocket just outside beneath the flap too. Amazing amount of space for such a small bag. I am petite so I hate to carry a huge bag, but it seems that I never have enough room for all of my things. This purse fits everything w/ room to spare & is super cute. Total must have.

Oversized Multi-color ''Naomi'' Tote

2008-08-19T12:47:00.001-07:00

Purse

This is a really great purse. It's quite large but it holds anything and everything you could possibly have to carry around. It's easy to hold and stays on your shoulder really well. The purse has a really nice, soft texture. I love the purse. The compartments inside are pretty great too.

Large Top Buckle Tote - Black, Brown or Red

Pleasantly surprised

I'm not really a "purse" person; most of my bags are cross-body/sling ones from American Eagle or Levis, but a career change had forced me to buy a more formal style kind-of-bag. After sorting the list by bestsellers, this had come up and I fell in love with the picture at first sight. I bought the brown color but I had no idea that there's a red one also. I will definitely buy one more after they stock up with the reds (as of right now, they are sold out! That's how popular they are, I guess). It's very soft and it has lots of compartments inside. I am impressed with the packaging. You could give this as a present and you could fool them into thinking that this is worth more than its $35 dollar price tag. Well, if I didn't pay for it myself, I would have been fooled. Like I said, I'm no purse-person.

Handbags: The Power of the Purse (Paperback)

2008-08-08T04:29:00.001-07:00

This is a wonderful little book all about handbags....and it's small enough to slip into your bag! Full of gorgeous photos of all kinds of bags, from the funky, fun type to the serious office bag and from the beaded extravaganza to the functional tote. It also gives a brief history of bags as well as some background info on some of the top designers. Did you know for example that handbags were an item used only by men until the invention of pockets meant men no longer needed a bag? This is a book to delight any lover of handbags.
