Where Do I Start?

Oh man, where do I start??!!??  No, I'm not dead.  No, there is no volcano that has greatly delayed shipping.  I think I have just been enjoying this heat!!  I did complain about Canadian winters.  Now I'm going to complain about Canadian summers - too DAMN hot!!

Know what else I'm going to complain about?  The lack of new styles in July and August.  I can't believe how summer just makes everyone slow down, including the designers and the factories.  There is really nothing new.  I mean a handful, not the thousands of new bags that I get all the time.  I am a bit let down this year. 

This wretched economy is not helping anyone.  I don't blame people for not making a whole lot of new designs when it's a well known fact that most of us are shopping less.  Sigh.  I need good, carefree, fun economic times.  This is so NOT a political blog but can someone please end this war that has literally devastated the US and from there has hurt other countries which rely on a strong US dollar (umm, CANADA anyone?) to survive.  Even though all stats show little Canada is chugging along just fine, I have to admit I don't like the chug without our bigger, burlier neighbour to the south. 

Love or hate the US for whatever reasons you want.  I don't care.  I love them and I love having them around.  For everyone who's gonna write me to tell me that the US didn't run things so well, I hate to point out the obvious:  MANkind is flawed.  No one is perfect.  And if I am going to have someone take charge, I'd like someone with passion, guts and a, for the most part, unified direction. 

OMG!! See what happens when I don't have new bags to show off?  Jesus.  Talk about digression.

Okay, here is a FANTASTIC new briefcase from LV.  Like one of 8 new bags that have come out for July (when usually 200 come out a month!!). 

I've always been a HUGE fan of the briefcase.  The only reasons I always end up abandoning one for another bag is to be a bit more sexy.  I find a briefcase is EXACTLY what I need for my day to day but I also find that it's just not fun nor is it even remotely sexy (I don't care how feminine you make it look).

It's functionality is like 100%.  It's Rawwrrrr factor is like 3% (for these weird guys that like the uber business woman look :).

I also have a great Damier briefcase as well.  This one is super nice as well.  It will be on the site soon.



Again, perfect for your laptop, wallet, portable mouse, etc.  So not perfect for nights out, having fun or looking fabulous.  Balanced trade off but I prefer both in my bag.

Folks, I have a lot of catching up to do on the blog.  You're gonna get about 6 more posts today alone.

Happy Shopping!!
