New Cell Phone Purse Styles by D2I Are Here!

Lately, I've been blogging a lot less than I'd like to. Like everyone else, when you are multi-tasking, unfortunately something gets left out. In my case, its been the blog. Well, I'm at it again, and will make a much better effort in not letting so much time go by before I check in!

I've got good news, though! I've designed new cell phone purses, and they are here just in time for the holiday season. I am especially pleased with my latest collection-- I believe the variety of fabrics, colors and textures really complement the direction that fashion has taken this season.

I've also given my website a facelift (and still working on it, as we speak!) Take a visit there by clicking here.... and let me know what you think!

HOW ABOUT A VEGAN HANDBAG? BEING HEALTH CONSCIOUS ISN'T LIMITED TO JUST FOOD!!!

When you hear the term "vegan", most people associate it with making food choices based on being a vegetarian. Who said that vegan only referred to a way of eating?

There is a Los Angeles boutique called Alternative Outfitters, a company that promotes a healthy lifestyle by offering products that are "eco friendly", meaning that the products are organic, environmentally-friendly, and cruelty-free (no animals spared for testing or manufacturing of products). The faux leather products actually look like the real thing! The products are manufactured using vegetables, synthetic leathers, vegetable based dyes, and vegetable based glues.

The company offers clothing, shoes, and of course, handbags! Since I tend to have an affinity for handbags, let me share with you some of the cute and fashionable bags that this store carries:

The Chinese Laundry Silver Ruched Vegan Handbag is adorable-- this bag is a great replica of metallic leather!

The construction and choice of embellishments on this Chinese Laundry Double-Braided Handle Vegan Saddlebag makes it easy to compete with any high-end designer bag:

I love the color and style of this Espe Slic Brief Green Vegan Handbag:

The Espe Fleur Large Black Vegan Wallet is really cute!!!

The good news is that all of these bags are very affordable and environmentally-friendly at the same time-- guilt-free shopping at this store!

THE HOLIDAYS ARE ALMOST HERE-- NEED TO DO SOME ORGANIZING?

Can you believe that the holidays are just around the corner? If you're like me, as you shop for gifts for friends and family, you'll manage to slip in a few for yourself as well! I love gift giving, but I also like the way it feels when I'm wearing something new-- whether it be something as simple as new lingerie, new perfume, or even toting a new bag!

After I go shopping, I'm usually prompted to do some re-organizing. At one point, my handbag collection had gotten out of hand due to the fact that not only do I design handbags, but I also enjoy collecting bags made by other designers that I find unique, or just plain cute!

I recently bought a set of purse racks for organizing my handbags.

The racks latch over the top of your door, with a strap that extends down with hooks on it for hanging your bags. I really like the racks because I am able to keep my inventory of bags together in an organized manner. No more frustration from not being able to find your bags when you need them! More than one rack can fit on your door, which even makes for a great display of your handbags. This would also be a great gift for someone you know who could use a little bit of organization as well!

THE 2007 EMMYS: THE GOWNS WERE THERE, BUT SOME LEFT THE CLUTCHES BEHIND!

I won't even bother to talk about the Emmy Awards show-- after all, I'm not watching much prime-time TV these days. So let's talk fashion! There wasn't really anything unpredictable about what to expect on the red carpet-- there's always a few who really look stunning, and most are just ok. Let's get right to the stunning:

Everyone's buzzing about Katherine Heigl, who most agree won the "Best Dressed" title, wearing a Zac Posen gown and Mary Norton clutch.

This was my second favorite:

Minnie Driver looked amazing in this Donna Karan gown. Her figure really complements this dress. Wish I knew who the clutch was by-- great ensemble together!

And of course, Eva Longoria always brings it to the table!

Stylin' in a Kaufman Franco shorter length dress. Eva always looks very classy!

Of course, royalty was there:

Queen Latifah looks fabulous in this red gown-- don't know who made this gown, but this Covergirl aways shows up for the party!

Purple was the color of choice for Julia Louis-Dreyfus:

Julia looked regal in her Narcisco Rodriguez gown and Hochman Fuller clutch. What stood out more for me was the clutch that accessorized the gown. This photo doesn't do the clutch any justice, but I saw a close-up of it on television during the pre-awards show, and it was absolutely gorgeous!

If you're dressing up for a major event like the Emmy's, I believe that accessories are part of the total package-- especially a handbag or clutch. Some of the women were jeweled down, but the bag was missing!!! It almost looks like you forgot your bag when you don't have one!

Vanessa Williams looks beautiful (despite what others think) in this Kevan Hall gown, embellished with feathers. A small clutch would've finished off this look.

Even Heidi Klum wasn't wearing one-- although she was toting her man, Seal. Looks like Seal could've been carrying a man-bag in his hand, though.
