If you want a new designer handbag but don’t want to have to pay for it, why not start dropping big hints to hubby or significant other to get you one for Valentine’s Day which, by the way, is less than a month away?
Okay, I’m not going to keep you in the dark about the latest Baghaus promotion! Yep, you know by now how gorgeous their designer bags are.
Personally I like this one here – The Dakota Satchel, as it’s called, reminds me of a short frilly skirt I had in my teens
. Very soft and feminine.

Right now, you can save an additional 20% off your order of $30 or more at Baghaus’s Inauguration Sale. If this isn’t a sweet deal, I don’t know what is. Offer expires January 29, 2009. So start dropping those hints tonight at dinner!! Good luck

When my kids were babies, my handbag quickly lost its place and I started carrying around an ugly diaper bag. I used to think all baby bags were ugly. Not any more. Just look at this Ed Hardy Camo Diaper Bag. It’s so chic it’d make any mom look like a celeb mom
.

Then when my kids grew out of their diapers, I switched to a roomy tote bag to carry a spare change of clothes, a bottle of water, some cookies, etc. I would love this Ed Hardy Romy Large Tote, isn’t it the hippest?

Well, guess what? You don’t have to live with ugly baby bags. Baghaus is ringing in the new year with their 2009 Double Deal which means you get to save an extra 20% off plus free shipping on orders over $50.
This offer expires January 12, 2009 while supplies last so you want to be sure to get there fast before they’re gone.

I absolutely love cold weather, almost as much as I love birds’ eye chillies and all things spicy
. It would be nice to be able to wear a winter heidi hat reversible as funky as this.
These two heidi hats are actually just one hat that can be worn on both sides. Not only do they look cute, it’s like you’re getting two items for the price of one. Worn with the flaps down, the hat protects your ears from the cold. Or if you prefer, you can tie them up on top of your head.

You can get this heidi hat and other winter wear for women and girls such as beanie hats, two-sided scarves, gloves at 50% off at the Little Miss Matched clearance sale. I have to warn you though. Stocks are limited as this sale has been extended to end on January 30, 2009! So don’t miss out, get there fast!
The best thing about having two daughters is I get to buy them pretty dresses. If my girls were younger, I’d be buying this adorable red V-neck holiday dress for infants, toddlers and little girls with its lovely bow accent.

Red is an auspicious color that brings good luck all year, no? Not to mention that this little number here would make a princess out any little girl.
And here’s another gorgeous pink taffeta flocked dress for babies, toddlers and little girls that I really like. Just look, the taffeta is embellished with an elegant brown velvet flocked vine and features a bow in front and another behind.

If you buy this dress in infant size, it comes with a matching headband too. I remember running all over town looking for a matching headband for Skye when she was a baby, duh! No need for that here
.
Tiny Tots Dress Shop has beautiful holiday dresses at fabulous discounts right now. They’ve even got a section for dresses under $20. You gotta be kiddin’ me, right? Wrong, go see for yourself.
Not only that, they’re also giving away a coordinating bow free with every purchase, and a pair of free Piccolo tights is included with every full price dress ordered through the month of December 2008!
Those who know me well know I love ugly unusual bags, the more unusual the better. At least this Melie Bianco Woven Duffle Bag is not ugly. I love its bold fiesty color, woven texture and the dual carrying handles.

This one’s Melie Bianco too but it’s a Melie Bianco Braided Large Hobo. Extremely cute in a way that makes you want to cuddle it, right? Okay, I’m wierd but see…

If I had to choose between the two, I honestly don’t know which one I’ll take because they’re both interestingly gorgeous in their own way and have their own unique personality.
Looking for interesting bags to dazzle your friends and family this Christmas? Baghaus’ designer inspired handbags are even more affordable now that they’re having a Special Holiday Double Deal where you can get an extra 20% off plus free shipping on orders over $50!

Like most kids, my kids girls really take festive celebrations seriously. When they were younger, they would hound me endlessly to start shopping early for their new clothes and stuff.
And everything must be brand new, mind you, from their Beanie hat…

… to their pajamas. Even their underwear had to be new
. I could hear them talking in hushed tones planning what they’re going to wear on the first day, second day… girls!

I always indulge them by buying them cute co-ordinates that they enjoy putting together. So what if they’re mismatched, they still look cute
.
I found these cute kiddy gifts at LittleMissMatched where nothing matches, but anything goes! and you can get them at 25% OFF plus FREE Shipping. Use coupon code – 25FORALL – with your purchase. Offer expires tomorrow, December 17, 2008.
Lots more gift ideas under $25, under $15 and gift certificates where these came from so be sure to get there quick as you can!
Guess what, I have a brand new baby niece born just days ago. I got a text message from my cousin, the excited new daddy, a couple of days ago… and it got me into shopping mode right away. I love shopping for baby stuff especially when they’re this cute…

Okay, I’m torn between this heart-themed set and the adorable baby tutu here
. It is, after Christmas month so that makes my little niece a Santa baby, ho ho ho.

I’ve been flipping through the pages of oh-so-cute baby gifts at Pink Taffy Designs and my eyes are getting bigger. Help, I can’t decide! What would a fashion-conscious baby want her aunt to give her
?
Pink Taffy Designs is a kiddy boutique with a wide range of Pink Taffy as well as designer baby wear and accessories. In fact, they also have some cute stuff for moms too. Go check them out for great holiday gift ideas.
