Is Buying A Designer Handbag Worth The Money?

By Lee MacRae

Many women today desire to emit a fashion statement to the world around them. And a great way to complete a smart and tasteful unfit is a designer handbag by Franco Sarto or Maxx New York. But one of the worries is the costs of these designer handbags. Are they worth what you have to pay?

It's obvious that most people around the country today want to spend their money wisely. They want to know if a purse or handbag by Caterina Lucchi is worth the money. Will they get full value in return? And the answer that question is yes, they are. And why do we say that?

There is no doubt part of the cost of the designer handbag is the name on the label. But you should also understand you will pay for quality when you buy a name brand product. The best bags made by Guess or XOXO will incorporate only the best leathers on the market.

Here is a good thing to know, top leather handbags have a fine lining material as well. Cheaper handbags will not. Makers of lower grade products look for every possible way to keep costs down. Cheaper handbags have low-grade linings and low grade hardware on them. You're wasting your money. Full-grain leather is made from the finest natural hides with no imperfections. These top grain leather's are extremely durable. It is long-lasting and over time, develops a rich patina that increases natural beauty. Full-grained handbags are usually created from the hides of young cattle and are highly sought after due to their fine quality and smooth texture.

To sum up, even though a handbag by L.A.P.A. or Hogan ,may seem expensive, what you're getting for your money is a handbag of the finest quality and it will last you for many years. Even if you need to save for a bit of time, the designer handbag is a wise investment.

Where Is The Best Place To Buy A Cheap Designer Handbag

By Joanne Marston

I've spent many long hours searching charity shops after reading about countless celebrities claiming to have purchased a 'vintage gucci handbag' from Oxfam at the cost of a bottle of wine. The only thing I have ever found resembling a designer handbag was a Louis Vuitton clutch bag which upon close inspection was actually made in china and the LV logo painted all over the bag actually said 1V! Needless to say I did not buy it as it would probably have been a lot cheaper off a market stall!
Following my failed attempts at charity shops, I tried car boot sales, Jumble sales, Flea Markets and Garage sales but I was still minus my designer handbag!

I kept hearing that in America they have the latest releases at half the cost of bags in the United Kingdom. I then visited American Ebay and found that it was true, you could in fact by designer handbags at half the cost. It was not just designer bags that were cheap but also designer sunglasses (my other weakness!). I bought the latest Roberto Cavalli Sunglasses for $200, which is about �100! In the United Kingdom Shops they are selling at �200! Double the price! I also bought a Birkin bag for $1100, this is about �550! If by some small chance you can actually get your hands on a Birkin bag then you are faced with a 2 year wait! Now some people may not mind waiting 2 years but I do! When I ordered my bag from the states it arrived after 6 days!

Sunglasses Guide For Beginners

By Andrew Cho

Sunglasses are one of the most fashionable accessories known to man. Celebrities have known this for years, its there way of saying, I'm too important and good looking to even make eye contact with the average Joe. However for one of us normal people to pull of the sunglasses look without looking like a seventies throw back can be quite difficult.

The original sun glasses were more practical than fashionable, designed to shield ones eyes from direct sunlight. As scientists started to realize the dangers of Ultraviolet radiation, sunglasses became a popular beach accessory. Once the fashion conscious beach crowd started to wear sunglasses regularly, the designer brands got involved. Since the 1950's there has even been pop and rock songs that mention sunglasses.

Its very very easy to look bad in sunglasses, what many people don't realize is the fact that you have to get a pair that matches the shape of your face. Even after all this time, the sunglasses in the Matrix are still cool.

As a general rule of thumb, you are best going for a pair of sun glasses with the opposite shape to your face. For example, if you have a round face, square sun glasses usually work well.

Designer Sunglasses

Designer sunglasses are highly sought after which makes fake ones very common. Buying your glasses from a reputable store is usually a must. However, a pair of fake cheap sunglasses can often be a worthwhile purchase, as you won't be too upset if you leave them on a beach or in a restaurant. I would be quite upset if i left my Oakley's in a bar.

Three classic designer sun glasses to consider when making your purchase are Oakley, Dior and Chanel. These are great designers that have been creating beautiful eye wear for years.

Oakley sunglasses are efficient in combining beautiful design with high-tech materials such as titanium for frames or plutonite for the lenses. Oakley's are a popular choice in the sports world as there lenses are second to non.

Dior sunglasses are popular amongst the fashion world and celebs. Wearing a pair of Christian Dior sunglasses will make you feel a part of the high class fashion world and will also get you noticed, depends on the circles you travel in of course.

Chanel sunglasses provide an elegance that makes any woman wearing them feel full of femininity and grace. Like anything Chanel however, expect to pay top prices.

Remember that popular brand sunglasses are usually expensive so you are best shopping around to get the best deal. Bear in mind that if you see a deal that's too good to be true, nine times out of ten it will be. Nobody likes being ripped off so be careful when making your purchase. Avoid like the plague market stalls when your on holiday.

A good pair of sunglasses will last you forever, and will stay in fashion nearly as long, just look at the classes Ray-Ban Wayfarers.

Windows 2000 & Windows NT 4 Source Code Leaks

Thu, 12 Feb 2004 18:08:00 GMT

First they stole Valve's Half-Life 2 source code last fall, then they hit get their hands on Windows source code? It's a bit early for April Fool's kind of joke, don't you think?

"It would appear that two packages are circulating on the internet, one being the source code to Windows 2000, and the other being the source code to Windows NT." via Neowin.

Is history repeating itself over again? Hopefully not! This could be pretty harmful for Microsoft.

UPDATE:
Just like Stefano Demiliani pointed out, there is an official word from Microsoft about all this.

UPDATE 2:
Apparently they were already able to trace the code leak to Microsoft's partner Mainsoft, which had licensed the code for one of its cross-platform products. The code supposedly represents Windows 2000 SP1 and was somehow lifted from a development machine. via BetaNews.

Coach Handbags: Make It Yours with Customization and Reversibility!

By Alan King

We�ve all fallen in love with Coach�s sophisticated style, all the way from its facing �C�s� to the beautiful jaquard material. The beauty of Coach handbags and accessories are timeless, versatile and understated. As if this weren�t enough, Coach has created a way to make that favorite Coach purse truly yours: Get it monogrammed!
The Signature Stripe Collection � Tote Bag

It gets better � not only can your new Signature Stripe Collection tote be monogrammed on the strip, it is also reversible. It�s almost like having two handbags for the price of one. While one side features the signature stripe with your initials on it, the other side leaves out the stripe and presents a pocketed outer design.

The signature tote is a favorite among favorites. Truly versatile and classic in its design, the signature stripe tote is available in different sizes with the option to monogram and reverse! The reversible side is just as beautiful as the stripe side with a fashionable pocket with Coach�s emblem along the front.

The stripe on these new Coach bags is beautiful on its own. If you�d rather not show off your monogram, you can skip the initials and still enjoy the stripe design. Or, you can get it monogrammed and reverse it when you�re ready for a newer look.

Other Signature Stripe Collection Handbags

Many signature style Coach handbags are included in this collection. Starting with the cute styling of the Demi, small and sharp: The Demi purse has an exaggerated stripe over the classic Coach design. The straps are removable so that you can use it as a clutch purse or wristlet.

The pouch purse is also available in signature stripe. Rounded and beautifully shaped, the Coach pouch looks great with almost anything. The swing pack handbag is next on the list, a truly fun design that can be worn over one shoulder or across the chest. In addition, luggage items, cosmetic bags and the camera bag are also included in the signature stripe to match your new Coach signature stripe purse.

To add to your accessories, the wristlet, zip coin purse and wallet in signature stripe will look great in your Coach handbag. The best part about the signature stripe collection by Coach is that it will match with your other Coach products. Because signature stripe purses and accessories are available in almost every color, it�ll be easy to match and accessorize.

Priced fairly, as are most other Coach purses and wallets, you can enjoy the new Signature Stripe collect purse for as little as $150!
