Orange Hobo
I’ve never been a big fan of orange as a main color but I love it as an accessory. And if you have been around for any length of time you know when it comes to bags I like the hobo style. Today’s hobo bag is from one of my favorite bag shops, Baghaus. 
The Melie Bianco Triple Pocket Hobo bag has lots of pockets, zippers and loops for effect. The color is rich but not too bold. Don’t like the color? Then there is the option of yellow or black. It’s on sale — $73. Not a huge sale but on sale nonetheless.

Pintucked Maison Shopper
After blue, my next favorite color is red. One of the hottest trends in clothing this season is fabrics that have been ruched; which is a fancy term for fabric that has been gathered. This pintucked bag reminds me so much of that look.
This synthetic leather bag from Baghaus is 15″ x 4.5″ x 14″ with an 11″ drop handle. It also comes in white, but seriously, when red is available why would you? It is currently on sale for $52 (regular $72).

Hot Club Wear from Hot NiniZ
Terri over at Hot NiniZ emailed me to let me know they have had “a huge increase” in their plus size sexy tops and dresses. They have also expanded their product descriptions with more details about bust size, body type fits and overall item details. Their bargain prices still slay me!
Here are three of my faves for today:
Lei’d Red - I know I haven’t been a friend of the bubble look but I really like this “Hawaiian inspired top”. It is 100% polyester and comes in sizes 1x - 3x for $21.99.
Flowz Wine - What a great name. And there is a whole lot of interesting texture going on here. And talk about showing off the cleavage. It is 90% polyester/10% spandex and comes in sizes 1x - 3x for $19.99.
Dooney and Burke Replica Handbag Black Giraffe - My love for giraffe patterns knows no bounds. There’s another one with red accents but it looks too much like an injured giraffe. I definitely could go for this one though. It’s $44.99.

Doctor’s Bag But Smaller
Oooo to have the money to splurge on a hand bag! Like this Vivia Ferragamo hand bag from Arm Candy.
This “small doctor” bag, for some reason, reminds me of a snowy owl. Ok, use some imagination people! The buckles are the eyes. The downward peak in the center is the beak. Anyway, I think it’s beautiful. And it’s on sale, 40% off $1300. So only $780. What a bargain.
I could put so many things in this bag. Useful things, too.

Dots!
I love dots. Especially subtle ones like the ones on this handbag by Lulu Guinness. Not!
This bag is so cute. If you are totally against wearing dots on your body then you definitely have to go with an accessory. Dots are always hot and never seem to go out of fashion.
Yes, it’s just as dainty as it looks with dimensions of 8″ x 7 1/2″ x 4″ (5″ handle). Arm Candy Handbag Boutique has this Dolly Gold bag on for $145, regular $285 .

Blue Bag Me
By now you know how crazy I am for blue. It’s an obsession really. I’m instantly attracted to blue and if I find something I like that isn’t shown in blue the first thing I look for is to see if it comes in blue. Do you think there’s a therapy group out there somewhere?
Today, I found this delicious blue bag at Bloomingdale’s. It also comes in red (hot) and green (who cares). The 
Kate Spade Pop Nylon bag is biggest at 13″, average I guess. I like them around 15″ but it’s blue so I can make allowances.
This pretty bag is a thrifty $325.

Big Green Bag (s)
I like big bags. Not humongous, just big. I don’t stuff them full of things I’ll never use. I have my wallet, a tube of back up lipstick, a few pens, a note pad, hand sanitizer (just in case), a hair pick (even though my hair is short), and that’s pretty much it. But if I go shopping for some small items I like to be able to put them in my bag instead of taking an extra plastic bag out into the world.
When I went shopping today for a green bag I didn’t think immediately that I would go big. The bra thing the other day didn’t go so well so I guess I thought the bag search wouldn’t go as well either. Much to my surprise, I found TWO great big green bags! Both are from Zappos.
The first is Lucky Brand Pretty Betty Suede (7387990) in grass green. It is about 13 x 15 inches and is selling for $172. Pricey? A girl can dream can’t she. It’s is pretty though.
The second is an Oakley Hobo (7252647) in fern green. It is more my speed in terms of fuctionality for everyday and would be a perfect replacement for my Gap bag which is starting to come apart from overuse. This Hobo measures 16 x 14 inches and is selling for a more reasonable $79. It’s a leather denim combo.
Have a happy green Wednesday!

The Full Moon is Red
I was reviewing the new plus size clothing site Black Cat Plus and came across this Uddini Mini “Full Moon” Handbag 
for $45. I can totally see Claudia Zacchara from General Hospital carrying a more expensive version of this bag.
This bag comes in more colors (copper, zebra, black, black and gold, brown, burgundy, coffee, gold, lilac, lime, pewter, silver, tiger, bronze, navy and turquoise) and a larger size, which is $79; but the red mini is definitely the hottest. The bag section measures approximately 11″ wide x 8″ tall (15″ including handle).

A Week of Treats
Valentine’s Day will be hear in a few weeks so it’s a good time to start thinking about how you’re going to spoil yourself and/or your partner. This week will be all about my favorite Valentine’s buys.
I got a new coupon from Baghaus so it seemed like a good place to start. You can save an additional 5% off all orders of $80 or more which isn’t hard to do. Here’s the coupon code (EXTRA5OFF80) which expires April 1, 2008.
This is it! This is the bag. Ain’t it sweet? That’s because it’s the Sweetheart Bag (433931). How perfect is that for Valentine’s Day? It comes in five colors but really shouldn’t it be red? And it’s on sale for $45.

Party Bag… Ohhhh Yeah….
All this talk about party dresses had me wondering today what we could carry our lipstick in. Not just any clutch will do so I went surfing over to Myna Bags for something cute and fashionable. And what did my eyes feast upon? Well this little ditty of course:
This is from Myna’s classic collection and only costs $25, leaving more money to spend on your party dress or… um SHOES! It’s cute, it’s fuzzy and it will look great with pretty much any party dress.
