Timeless white classy totes

White totes are really nice.  Especially so if they’re big and roomy.  Check out these two that are available at Pink Mascara.

Goldenbleu White Patent Luella Bag, the “IT” bag of the year comes in patent Italian pigskin leather with brass-plated hardware.  I like the interesting look of the double, circular handles but the front frame pocket with kiss-lock closure needs some getting used to.  Overall however, it looks like a functional pretty tote with a 14″ main compartment zipper plus suede-lined interior featuring 8.5″ zipper pocket, two patch pockets, and key ring. 

Kanzashi flower hair clips

No hibiscus please.  If you like to wear flowers on your hair, then you ought to check out these really pretty kanzashi hair clips.  Kanzashi, by the way, are Japanese folded fabric hair ornaments traditionally worn with kimonos and here’s a little history on this Japanese hair ornament:

Hair styles were considered to symbolize the soul of a woman, and naturally hair ornaments played an important role in the wardrobe. Hair-pins (kanzashi) originated as “Kazashi no hana”, which were believed to magically endow a woman with the pureness and essence of flowers. 

Mohop for new shoes everyday

How many ways can you wear your shoes?  Well, unless you own a pair of Mohop, I bet it’s only one way.

Unlike your normal shoes, Mohop shoes allow a wearer to customize her shoes by changing the ribbons that tie the shoes on.  Different lengths and styles of ribbons can be used to achieve a virtually infinite number of looks with just one pair of wooden bottoms.  Yes, that’s right!  Just about any woman can be Imelda Marcos without the need for deep pockets.
