I know I’ve already written about umbrellas a few times recently, but given the amount of rain we’ve been having, another umbrella blog seems reasonable.

My latest umbrella passion comes in the form of this Lulu Guinness birdcage umbrella, which can be bought online through Aussie site Brolly Dollys for $65.

Not only is it striking and unique, but it also features clear PVC for better vision when walking and extra-strong fibreglass ribs, which are a necessity on windy days.

Actually, the entire Brolly Dollys site is worth checking out – there are some really nice umbrellas for men, women and kids.

In the mobile phone world, Nokia appears to believe strongly in the “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” adage – at least when it comes to design.

The Nokia mobile phone design has changed on minimal increments only over the past decade – well, at least up until now, if the upcoming Nokia X5 is any indication.

The X5 shuns the traditional Nokia rectangular design, instead boasting an unusual square form-factor. This design has allowed Nokia to equip the phone with a decent QWERTY keyboard – one that even people with larger fingers should find comfortable to use. Unfortunately, the QVGA screen isn’t so generously proportioned – measuring in at just 2.3 inches, which is not ideal for viewing video.

That may not matter for some users though, given that like all its X-Series brethren, the Nokia X5 is a music phone. As well as a decent music player, it also comes with a 2GB memory card for storing media. A 5-megapixel camera also adds to its multimedia appeal.

Connectivity is also well addressed, thanks to HSDPA 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity.

The Nokia X5 will release in some markets around the world in the second-half of 2010. An exact Australian release date and price will be confirmed closer to this time.

Fathers Day is nearly here again and the good news is you do not have to spend a fortune on a gift for dad. Here are some present ideas for under $50.

* Home Worx Toolkit: Most men are either fanatical handymen or fancy themselves as such. This 69-piece toolkit from BIG W will only set you back $44.97.

* AC/DC book: If you spent most of your teenage years being embarrassed by your dad’s tendency to play air guitar to AC/DC in front of you friends, he will love this book by Murray Englehart – $32.45 at Myer (save 35%).

* 60 Years of Holden: It’s un-Australian not to love Holden cars, and this DVD from Target proves why (1 disc, $24.99).

* NRL polo shirts: Yeah, I know AFL is more popular in Australia, but I’m still a rugby league girl. If your dad is an NRL man, get him a polo shirt for his favourite team for $35.99 from League Online.

* Horse Racing Australia: These days my dad is cashing his tickets at the big TAB in the sky, but this is what he would have been getting this year. What better way to celebrate the compulsive gambler in your life than with a magazine subscription to Horse Racing Australia.

Just a quick note to let you know that Peeptoe Shoes is having another sale, both online and in-store.

Prices on selected shoes, accessories and jewellery are cut by up to 50%, and there are some nice items amongst the collection.

I like the Miss Harbour Bridge heels, which are marked down to $100. The interesting cut-out detail on the front and purple sole saves them from being another boring black shoe.

This morning I was browsing through Replicavalley.com like usual—just to dream and drool about which replica handbags I’m going to buy next—I have to say I almost fell off my chair! They have hundreds of new bags! Replicavalley.com has never been the strongest site for selection. It’s pretty limited-they say it is because they inspect each item before they add it so it’s labour intensive. Usually when they add new bags it’s like 10 or 20 bags but this time they went above and beyond. It’s not just that they added a lot of bags, I’m talking good stuff! Yes, ladies, it’s an exciting day in Replica Land. Not only have they added bags and collections by existing designers like Louis Vuitton, Gucci, and Fendi, but they’ve also added a number of new designers to the shop like Mulberry, Yves Saint Laurent, Miu Miu, Christian Dior, and Dolce and Gabbana, and even Balenciaga. I’ll be devoting this post to highlighting some of the additions at Replicavalley.com that I’m most excited about.

Since I’m a died-in-the-wool replica Louis Vuitton gal, I’ll start with the fabulous new additions to their replica Louis Vuitton handbags collection. First off, their Speedy/Keep All collection has expanded which I appreciate, because you can never have too many Speedys. They have also added new Mehina bags (good for this years perforated trend). Also of note more Vernis, Romance, and the most exciting of all is the spring 2010 additions. I’m most excited about the replica Louis Vuitton Denim Sunrise, and the new Cossmic Blossom collection which are some of my absolute favourites from the spring collection.

Gotta have this bag!

Not only are there monumental additions to the already-faboosh replica Louis Vuitton collection, but the replica Gucci collection also just got a serious injection of new fabulousness. They finally have the replica Gucci spring collection featuring the replica Gucci Techno Horsebit and replica Gucci Bamboo Handle. Both come in a variety of shapes and colours.

This one is even on sale!

In addition to the wonderful additions to their existing collections, they’ve added some new designers to their roster. Here’s a complete list of the new :

• Mulberry
• Yves Saint Laurent
• Miu Miu
• Christian Dior
• Dolce and Gabbana
• Balenciaga

I know lots of you have been asking and wonder upon wonders they even added the Mulberry Alexa!

As far as I can tell, these are the designers whose collections have been updated:

• Louis Vuitton
• Gucci
• Fendi
• Hermes
• Prada
• Burberry
• Jimmy Choo

A word of warning though: visit Replicavalley.com at your own risk. You will be forced to buy something new and fabulous!

• Lotta Jansdotter bags seen via Closet Therapy
• What is the Flawless Face?
• People can’t stop talking about the Proenza Schouler collection at Target. I’m afraid I’ll miss out on this since its hard to get to a Target in NYC, but online the collection looks like the best GO collection yet. Of course the problem is that this stuff always looks great online, but not in person so we’ll see. I like the Wild Dove Clutch, Wild Dove Blazer, Palm Print Sweater and the Faded Rose Top.
• DIY: Chanel Black satin nail polish. I’m really liking the idea of black nail polish for the winter. I think I might be requesting Licorice next time I get my nails done instead of my usual Lady Godiva.

The Hunt Pt 1: Ashbury four-pocket hobo from Banana Republic

Posted on | January 12, 2007 | 6 Comments

New year, new bag: I am once again on the hunt for a new everyday bag. I’m looking for pretty much the same thing I always look for: a city commuting bag that is easy to carry and can hold everything. And I mean everything, such as my lunch, my 5 lip balms, my 3 forms of SPF and my Netflixes that I meant to mail but got stuck at the bottom of my bag. Bonus points for pockets that keep me organized. I need easy access to my Metrocard, building pass, and cell phone. I need a good place to keep my keys so they don’t get lost and a pocket to tuck away my digital camera. In short, it is a tall order, I am very picky and there are few bags out there that are designed with this much thought.

The first potential bag that caught my eye is the Ashbury four-pocket hobo from Banana Republic. Of course the four front pockets were a big draw since I like to be able to easily find all my crap. And it looks like a well constructed bag that would last forever and would only look better with use.

Yesterday while shopping in Herald Square at 34th Street I stopped by the local Banana Republic to check out the bag in person and I was surprised to see that it actually seems larger in person then on the site. Also on the site the bag looks like it is the shape of a rectangle, but in person it was more of a triangle which I didn’t really like since it looked more slouchy then professional.

The hunt continues!

Jessica Simpson has a different Louis Vuitton Handbag for every pink shirt

Today I was pondering who might have the largest collection of Louis Vuitton handbags on earth. Madonna? Lindsay Lohan? Paris Hilton? Nicole Richie? Mariah Carey? All of them seem to have an unreal number. So, who’s the all out queen of the LV Monogram?

Then I came across this video on Youtube and I realized (or more like remembered because I’ve personally looked at thousands of photos of her carrying LV) that Jessica Simpson is without a doubt the world’s biggest Louis Vuitton handbags whore—or to say it more nicely, the greatest Louis Lover of them all!

Check out this irresistible, albeit cheesy as all hell, video with Jessica’s own song playing in the background. The Louis Vuitton bags just keep coming—everything from the Speedy to Cherry Monograms, to wallets, dog bags, vintage chests and luggage. Can you spot the Louis Vuitton replica? I am absolutely certain she’s got a bunch of them. I mean she doesn’t make that much money on her music career…does she? My guess is the Keepall that’s shown about halfway through is her replica Louis Vuitton handbag. I know she’s got at least one…I just know it!

Enjoy the video.
