New Year's Accessory

Hey lovebugs!  It's almost time for New Years, which means sparkly dresses, resolutions, and champagne. Now a lot of blogs have done fabulous posts on NYE dresses, if you're still looking you HAVE to check out:  BonBon Rose Girls and Wit & Whimsy.  They have excellent options and ideas.

I thought I would try something a little different and instead of offering dress choices, why not accessory choices?  Sound good? Fabulous, let's go!

Kate Spade, Foiled Again, $75

This is the perfect clutch for NYE.  You can stuff lipstick, keys, phone, and even roll up flats in here!

Loft, Two tiered bead necklace, $39.50

I love the elegant simplicity of this necklace.  This would be perfect with an LBD or jeans in 2011.

Cole Haan, bow belt, $39.95

I'm loving this find over at the Cole Haan sale.  Look at the detail on the bow!  This would spice up any solid color NYE dress or put it over a cardigan.

Target, Merona Euna pumps, $24.99

Just because it's Target doesn't mean you can't score a pair of fabulous heels.  I'm a sucker for rounded toe, and this print certainly adds some spice!

New Years should be sparkle and sass.  It's the one night a year where no one cares if the dress is a little too young for you, or if that outfit is too dressy for the party.  If you're workin' it, you are the party.

Laptop Luxury

Today's post is a request from a good friend who wants a fabulous work bag.  Her requests are simple: it has to fit a laptop, have an outside pocket for keys, and nothing loud.  Sounds easy enough right?  Let's see what I can find.

Also- who has Friday Foodday recipes to share?

Jessica Simpson, Cypress Bag, $80

I like the dual straps on this bag and the minimal hardware.  But it is only 14' long so depending on the size of the laptop, that would be something to consider.

Melie Bianco, Mariah, $88

This is a nice do it all bag, neutral color and on the inside the lining is cream with black polka dots.  I love a good surprise lining.

17 Coakley, Travel Tote, $206

OK bear with me, I know this is way over the TCB budget, but this request OKed it so look away if you must.  This bag has great pockets and its 17' so it could fit any sized laptop and then some.

Nunzia design, Sophia, $62

I like this bag because it has a removable laptop sleeve, though, it is a bit summery.

Heritage, Women's black leather tote, $67

I really like this bag.  It's no-nonsense design makes it functional and not flashy.  It has a removable laptop sleeve and great pockets to store your phone, business cards, etc.

A functional laptop work bag can be tough to find for us fashionistas.  Sometimes you can find what you're looking for at a name brand store like Nordstroms, but I find you may want to broaden you normal search and look at luggage stores as well.  Overstock also has a great selection.

Be fabulous today.

You want more, I'll give you more!

Hey lovebugs, I'm sorry for the late post today, but this week the BF and I are on staycation so I slept in.

Since I got such raves about yesterday's post on storage, I thought I'd give you more of what you loved!

In the meantime, I would just love to hear what Santa brought you.  Everything you hoped for?  Having trouble figuring out what to pair that new blouse with? Got a gift card and want to find the best deal? Let me know and I would be more than happy to help!!!

Home Depot, Martha Stewart Closets Stackables, $59

Martha Stewart knows what she's doing.  The woman went to jail, you think she didn't think about shoe storage while she was there? Exactly.  This fits 9 pairs of shoes and it stacks up!  The more the merrier.

Target, Flip flop shoe file, $14

Maybe you didn't get tons of flip flops for Christmas but this could also work to store belts and scarves! I love that it's clear so you can see what you're storing.

Container Store, roll out lid holder, $45

Did you get new pots and pans this year? How about an easy way to store and access the lids?  This little tool is worth every penny.

Container Store, Wing lid ornament holder, $15

Sadly, it is time to take the tree down.  Why not put those ornaments away carefully and store them properly with something like this?

Urban Outfitters, Little Birch tree stand, $32

I have this in my room and I love it.  Ok, I have 3, they rock.

Those are my storage picks.  I like to be able to see the things I store, look at my loot, if you will.  

It's very important to be able to have the clothes and shoes visible, otherwise when are you going to wear them? 

Be fabulous today.

Well that was awesome, now where do I put it?

Exactly.  Santa was good to you? Fabulous! You deserved it.  Every single present.  But now that the cookies have been eaten, the gift wrap is in the trash, and the tags are off, what are you to do?

Fear not lovebugs! Today's post is all about storage!!!

Container Store, drawer organizer, $8.99

Did Santa bring you new socks? Maybe scarves?  Put these in your drawers and you are ready to organize!

Container Store, Hanging Sweater bag, $19.99

I love hanging bags for sweaters and does, such a great use of vertical space!

Organize.com, 6 blouse tier hanger, $5

Again, a great use of vertical space and more room for more shirts!

Organizer.com, hanging purse organizer, $12

Purses are always tough to store. Use this organizer and you can always see your bags!
