A cell phone must be cared for in order to last a long time. It is important to avoid dropping the phone. The impact might be too strong for the phone’s sensitive parts. There are fashionable cell phone wallets that keep phones safe. These wallets serve as a cushion in case you accidentally drop your phone.

My friend is a bag-aholic. She has a whole collection of bags for every occasion. She has tote bags, hobo bags, and even evening handbags – you name it, and she definitely has it.  I guess that you can call her a bag collector!

Her whole closet is filled with bags. She’s also into designer brands. I understand her addiction though because I feel the same way about shoes and my husband feels that way about baseball cards.

Large Gucci Gold HandbagUltra Large Bronze bag by Gucci

 And for fashion’s big extras: Hats are hot, with the favorite — the fedora — shown in a sportier version with a knitted crown. Check out pouchy Vermeer-inspired wool berets (from Louis Vuitton). And embrace hoods, especially fur trimmed or in knit attached to nylon.

 Gloves: You’ll see bold, padded, elbow-length styles in a fistful of materials, from leather and suede to shear-ling and crocodile.

Belts: They are mannish and often studded. If deep-cinched corset shapes in patent leather or metal sound seductive, they look more like medieval torture.

 Bags: Newest is the soft and squishy leather envelope, which folds under the arm. But there are also stellar versions of the ultra-large bag in bronze leather, fur, and knit as well as Gucci’s how-haute-can-you-go duffel bag.

 Tights: This must-have accessory was turned out in ribbed knits, jewel colors, and graphic patterns. Knee-high socks offer an alternative.

cow tanningItalian leather is regarded as the finest leather in the world. This is because Italy has strict safety and pollution laws that allow for cows to be taken better care of, therefore producing better leather. Many countries including Sweden and Switzerland send their cow hides to Italy to go through the tanning process. Only hides that are tanned in Italy can be called “Italian leather.”

Because this type of leather is so soft and supple, Americans tend to prefer it to any other type of leather. The most popular products made of this material include Italian leather handbags, luggage and clothing. Many American companies special order leather tanned in Italy in order to label their products “Italian Leather.”

Italian leather handbag

I found the perfect piece to go with my little black dress.  Every girl has to have her little black dress and all the accessories that show off the outfit in the best possible light.  The Italian leather handbag that I found is just divine.  It brings out the coolness of the dress, by highlighting that it isn’t something that is worn only to a formal affair, but anywhere style is.

I want to find some earrings that will do the same thing, but this handbag is all that I could have hoped for.
