Get a Great Handbag: Cheri by Eric Javits
Eric Javits Cheri Bag in Burnt
You might find yourself humming that pop tone: “My Cheri Amour” holding the amazing Cheri bag (9″H x 13.5″W x 5.8″D) by Eric Javits #23828 ($828.00) because this is one bag that is just so fashionable and also so easy to love!
You get two bags in one with this versatile leather handbag (no wonder it sells out in like, an instant just about everywhere).
The Cheri Bag looks like a large handbag with a shoulder strap ( detachable, but just in case you want to use it cross-body). It also has elegant brushed metal stud details (e.g. protective bottom feet, and toggle closure).
But there’s more to this Cheri Bag:
Tethered and detachable inside this bag is another bag” a long zippered clutch to hold valuables, and to lift out whenever you don’t want to carry the larger bag. it really helps when you don’t want to fumble around in your bag for those small items that usually fall to the bottom.
Despite the generous size and genuine leather, it’s also reasonably lightweight.
Although we love this moc-croc bag in “Burnt” for Fall, there are at least nine different colors and some different leather textures to choose from. It’s always a sell-out but you can find all of these bags on the
Eric Javits Web Site Cheri Page.
Eric Javits has tons of covet-able hats, bags and shoes that you can mix and match. His designs are in the archives of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute. For more information visit the Eric Javits Website and be prepared to swoon http://www.ericjavits.com/

Bring On Instant Style with a Great Bracelet:
Isabelle Grace has always been a favorite of the Advice Sisters for personalized jewelry and for their trendy seasonal collections.
Boho is always a big trend and this Nadya Geo Cuff ($56.00) and this bracelet lets you rock the trend in jewelry, reasonably.
Isabelle Grace calls the Nadya Geo Cuff “gypsy inspired.” We think it has a sort of Najavo vibe, as well.
Call it whatever you want, but do call it show-stopping! he bold 1.5″ wide cuff in lightweight, gold-toned metal is generously festooned with sparkling Swarovski crystal accents.
The bold 1.5″ wide cuff in lightweight, gold-toned metal is generously festooned with sparkling Swarovski crystal accents.
Another thing to note about this wide cuff is that you can adjust it simply by gently squeezing it to fit your wrist, then simply slip it off at the gap in the back. It’s really comfortable to wear and sparkles just enough to be “daytime to night-time.” For more information about this lovely piece, Isabelle Grace personalized jewelry, and all of their other collection, visit the Isabelle Grace Web Site
Trend Totes for Girls on the Go:
City girls may wear sensible flats and sneakers on the subway, but they know that carrying a boring tote is a fashion don’t!
The Melissa Refraction Bag II ( 34093-263 $70.00) makes a fashion statement as a great tote/handbag/whatever bag.
The bag measures approximately 15 x 11 x 6, will comfortably everything from your laptop or tablet to your shoes, lunch, change of clothes, and even your clutch bag. Use it for grocery shopping and picnics, beach, etc.
If you’re not familiar with the Brazilian plastic footwear brand, Melissa, we’ll clue you: the company is known for their super chic shoes and sandals in plastic collaborating with some of the trendiest designers in the world, including Alexandre Herchovitch, Jason Wu, Vivienne Westwood and Jeremy Scott,etc.
The updated version of this bag has a mesh design that has a designer-style silver logo plaque on the front.
The holes are large, so we used the included white drawstring dust cover as the inner liner (on black it really highlights the design). We also like the idea of using different fabric pieces or large scarves to change the look and coordinate with your outfit. Find your Melissa Refraction Bag and all those cute shoes at Melissa Galerias or online at shopmelissa.com

High Rise Hair Trend Gives You Big Beauty Benefits!
Big hair is back (not that it ever really left the building)..we mean volume!The Redken High Rise Volume Collection wa touted with another trio of treats called Beach Envy, a texturizing collection that offers waves with softness and body.
But we’re loving High Rise Volume with products that creat lift volume on all hair types.
The High Rise Volume collection has a fresh scent that lifts your spirits as it lathers . In our test with the High Rise Volume Lifting Shampoo and Apres-Shampoosing Body Building Conditioner we delighted in clean, bouncy hair that stayed clean a day longer than we expcted (nice)!
For those with thin and fine hair who really do need more volume, there’s a styling product: High Rise Volume Duo Volumizer. You mix a volumizing hair cream and a high lift gel styling product together prior to application (it’s a thing). Blended together and applied to damp hair from root to tip, then blow-dried with a round brush for extra lift at the root, you’ll find this one really works!
These products are good for color treated hair and all hair types. Even if you don’t a lot of volume it’s nice to have hair that doesn’t just fall flat.Buy Redken products only from authorized dealers, such as a Redken Salon. To find out more and find a salon near you visit the Redken Web Site
