Friday Fun: The Marc Jacobs Fall 2006 Handbag Collection

In case you couldn't tell from my daily bag obsessions or my Balenciaga post from earlier this week, I have a serious handbag addiction.

In case you couldn't tell from my daily bag obsessions or my Balenciaga post from earlier this week, I have a serious handbag addiction. I certainly don't buy all the ones I obsess over (Hello, I write a blog for a living!), but I just love to look at them, pick them up, visit them at the store, collect pictures online and write about them. You get the picture. Anyway, today's highlight is the Fall 2006 line from Marc Jacobs. I have always been a fan of MJ and the latest collection does not disappoint. It is full of rich colors, stylish detailing, classic looks such as quilting and classic shapes like the frame and hobo style.

Here is a look at some of my favorites from Fall 2006:

"Hudson" Leather Told in Chill, $1275, Available here

"Trish" Shoulder Bag in Chestnut, $1,350, Available here

Lots more of this fabulous collection, including some great quilted styles, so read more

When I first came across these funny-looking little footies, I laughed. I thought they must not be serious, but apparently they are. They're called Minisocks and are made by Delphine Murat. They are socks with a little something extra that bring your favorite shoes to a whole new level. Check these out:

I’m Scared To Tell My Parents That I’m Pregnant

Dear Sugar, I am 22 years old and I recently found out that I am pregnant.

Dear Sugar,

I am 22 years old and I recently found out that I am pregnant. I'm not married but have been with my boyfriend for about four years. I am currently 16 weeks pregnant and I don't know how to tell my parents. I have to tell them soon. The anxiety from the pressure is very stressful for me. Is there an easy way to tell them without being disowned? I've only got my boyfriend to talk to and I am scared.

My Mom Treats My Husband Like a Deadbeat

Dear Sugar My son, husband and I moved into my Mother's house last September.

Dear Sugar
My son, husband and I moved into my Mother's house last September. There
were certain situations going on at home and we didn't have anywhere else to go. Ever since we moved into her house, my Mother refuses to get along with my husband. She constantly insults him and bad mouths him behind his back by saying that he's an irresponsible husband and father.

To his credit, he's been having a difficult time trying to find a new job. He's working hard at it, but nothing is coming his way. He's even been working retail to try and make some money for us, although he's a computer technician. I am working too, but it's just not enough money yet for us to live on our own.

My mother is tough and she's very critical; I can't stand it and after a year of tension, she and my husband finally got into a huge argument ending in her telling him to get out. I don't know what to do. We can't afford to live on our own and presently my three year old son is in preschool by my Mother's house. How can I resolve this? Down and Out Dori

Balenciaga on My Mind, The Fall/Winter 2006 Handbag Collection

Another day another bag obsession.

Another day another bag obsession. Well gang, today it's not just one, but the entire Fall/Winter 2006 collection from Balenciaga. I think the most notable thing about this collection, aside from the beautiful designs, are the amazing rich Fall colors. Two of my favorites from the palette are a gorgeous deep chocolate brown as seen here in this fabulous Matelassé

As well as this beautiful royal blue color which is slightly brighter than last spring's deep navy blue/purple (which was also FAB, btw).

I was at Neiman Marcus this weekend and saw both the chocolate brown and the royal blue up close and personal and they are truly breakthtaking.

NuBra

Go Braless!

Do you ever wonder how some girls can pull off wearing a cute shirt without a bra?

Do you ever wonder how some girls can pull off wearing a cute shirt without a bra? Well good news, you too can appear as though you are going braless. The NuBra, or as I like to refer to them, "chicken cutlets" feel surprisingly like real breasts, but also kinda like raw meat. How's that for a description! They are incredible and one of my favorite gifts to give.

The adhesive silicone cups are separate and come in all kinds of colors. They are painless to remove and thick enough to give you support and keep your nipples from showing through a t-shirt, but thin enough so they create a smooth and invisible illusion. A clear clip attaches the 2 cups and allows you to create the amount of cleavage you desire. They are $60 but last up to 150 wears.

Hanky Panky

The Quest for the Perfect Panties

Ah yes, the perfect panties, such an important thing!

Ah yes, the perfect panties, such an important thing! You spend 18 hours a day in these things and you want them to be comfortable. I was a big fan of Cosabella for many years and I still think they are great, but my latest picks are Hanky Pankies

Hanky Pankies are one size fits all, really soft and super stretchy so you hardly feel like you are wearing anything at all. They wash fine as well, I even dry mine! They are currently on sale for $11.90 each at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. Save even more if you buy three. Click here to check them out.
