Ah Tu-anh!...
While on the aforementioned blog, do read the following post as well...
A bag in the Hand...
I was intrigued by the bag from Tu-anh so I went by the site - and was well rewarded. The bags are lovely! Some are beautifully beaded and some are made of vintage obi material which ensures a unique piece. I especially liked the little jewel like change purses...
Vietnamese Silk Jacquard Coin Purse - 24.99
I can imagine carring one of these in an evening bag - what a delightful treat to reach in and pull out one of these lushly colored silk treasures!
Do go by the site or her EBay store and check them out for yourself!

Sigh! I guess the whole yellow thing...
Is not going to go away as a trend for Spring!
Personally, I'm NOT a huge fan of the color - when I was younger too much of it made me nauseous! But it appears it is one of the "IT" colors for this Spring - and I must admit that, in the right proportions, it can give a sunny kick to your outfit!
As I do not, at my age at any rate, feel the need to look like a de-striped bumble-bee by wearing an entire yellow outfit, I decided that the best way to take advantage of this trend was with an accessory. So I surfed around and found a few I thought were promising:
Handbags:
Isaac Mizrahi for Target® Flap Bag with Buckle - Grainy Yellow - $16.99
Cute and not to pricey - easy to throw into the back of the closet once the whole yellow thing is over!
Mustard Round Hobo - $45.00
Okay, mustard is cheating a bit - but the bag is cute and the subtler color can easily carry over into fall!
Buti
Tulip - Orange & Yellow Leather Buckled Strap Tote - $499.00
What can I say - I just plain love this bag! It's percentage of yellow is just right! (Yes, I wish the price was better, as in cheaper - but I guess sometimes you really do get what you pay for!)
Shoes:
For those of us who need to keep their feet more or less on the ground:
Chinese Laundry LANDYS DOT CANVAS - YELLOW - $59.00
Seychelles 'Social Climber' Flat - $64.95
Diba Kitten Flat - $82.95
For those who can reach a bit higher:
BC Mesh Wedge - $58.00
Ada by Frye - $165.00
Chariot by Delman - $175.00 Seychelles "And the Winner Is" Yellow Patent Leather Pump - $79.99
And if you can still handle the height - good on ya!:
Aldo URSA - $69.99 Marc by Marc Jacobs - $328.95
Now for those of you who, like me, are not big yellow fans - but don't mind sporting a bit of the sunshine color:
Ballroom by Bettye Muller - $295.00
Canvas Printed Wedge - $48.00
:Dolce Vita Braided Slingback - $78.00
Gazebo by Bettye Muller - $375.00
I'm sure there are a bunch of belts and babbles as well that you can slip on to give a bit of sunshine to your spring outfit - and if I come across any that look promising I'll post them!
Meanwhile, this lot should give you a good start! Enjoy!

Art to go....
As I've said before, I'm a HUGE fan of what I call "accessible art" -- art you can either wear or carry with you on a day to day basis. It can lift both your spirits and the spirits of those around you who see it -- or at the very least, start some very interesting conversations!
Styledash.com of late has several examples of just such "art-to-go":
Change your wallet as often as you change your purse
I went over to this site and I gotta tell you I dig the concept! And as soon as my finances get back on solid ground I have every intention of picking up a couple (or maybe even the 4 for $50 deal!).
If you do decide to get one, treat it right -- you'll never know what the future will bring for these artists - you could be carrying around a future Picasso in your purse!
Give those white earbuds something extra
Personally, I find those ear buds to be extremely uncomfortable so I don't use mine. But if you do, here's a cute way to dress them up!
Movie billboards make a fashion statement
If you're a big time movie fan or have one in your life, these totes (they have messenger bags as well) can be a fun and practical addition to your bag wardrobe or a great gift. I really like the unusual styling of the Billboard bag - sleek but looks like it can hold quite a bit!
Plus saving a tree and keeping down the landfills? What's not to love?
And now I better get goin' - the old salt mine beckons!
