TOTALLY COOL ®
What's In The Bag !

While we ask ourselves every day "what am I going to wear", for many the question is also what bag will I take with me today ? Handbags, messenger bags, and carry bags are part of everyday life. Whether it's a bag to put stuff in or a bag to have functionality and look good at the same time. In essence, aside from functionality the bags we put our things in give our lives style and more pizazz and make each day that much more Fun ! What we carry our personal belongings in is key. It, as much as anything else, defines who we are - each person's own individual style. And it does not apply only to women. Men have a need for something to carry their belongings in too. Especially if they live in a Big City or a busy urban area.

As we look into the Future we put our focus on the Fringe ! What styles are being offered in the marketplace to choose from that helps us define who we are. A good bag is as important as a good pair of shoes. As mentioned - whenever possible - your accessories should also be Fun ! Keep that in mind. Soooo ... what's in the bag ?!!

Going forward Vivienne Tam gives a fresh take on the Fringe Bag. An easy on the shoulder functionality with some cool styles and colors to choose from. And plenty of space for your phone, wallet, and other necessities. These pictures here give you an idea what direction the Future is taking ... on the fringe : ) The fun relaxed chic look of the Fringe Bag is definitely making it into the Spotlight high on the Style Meter in these modern times. As matter of fact, the roots of the Fringe Bag in design goes back hundreds of years. Guaranteed to be fun and have functionality no matter what Millennium you are in.

Another thing #VivienneTam has added to her collection both in her clothing and accessories lines is the 3 Dimensional look. Talk about making things Fun ! Vivienne Tam has done exactly that. You can see here.

Imperfectly Perfect by Rebecca Moses

Now this is Unique. Everyone has seen the typical mannequin in store displays and windows. Rebecca Moses has given what is most of the time boring clothing displays a fresh personality. She teamed up with one of the greatest mannequin companies in the world, Pucci Mannequins - Ralph Pucci International. Rebecca has given the clothing displays faces with an artistic twist in expressions. She has brought the mannequins to life with fresh notions by giving them real looking noses, frizzy hair, wide eyes, and each their own look that radiates a powerful signature of Style.

Inspired by the illustrations from the Rebecca Moses book: "A Life of Style", 25 mannequins were made available by Pucci International. Rebecca Moses sees her mannequins as a medium for telling stories and shares this insight, "They represent an evolving new vision of beauty. They reflect today's borderless global culture in which women of all colors and ethnicities freely embrace their uniqueness and imperfectly perfect physical characteristics. They are champions of their individuality, letting their passions speak for them. Their attitude is ... Isn't it great to be indescribable ! Art, fashion, and retail need to reflect our changing world and society. People are blending. Stereotypes are broken. A new individualism has evolved with fresh personal visions of beauty. As a consumer walks through a store she'll recognize herself in these multi-ethnic, multi-cultural, imperfect yet spectacular personas and will connect with them." Look for the Rebecca Moses Ralph Pucci Mannequins in a store near you. You will surely recognize them when you see them !
