Remember that Newport News Petal Tote that looks like the Valentino Petal Bag? Well, I found another variation of the Valentino Petal Tote that only costs under $50. It’s the Poppie Jones Studded Flower Tote that I saw from DSW.

This flower tote version has an edgy studded trimming detail all on the petals. It’s made of synthetic leather with a 9″ drop rolled handles. The dimensions measure up top 18″ x 6″ x 12½” so it’s definitely roomy for all your daily purse essentials. It’s not the Valentino bag but hey, not everyone can afford the Valentino version. This Poppie Jones Studded Flower Tote is only $49.95 at DSW. It definitely a good daily tote to carry around, no? And it’s black so it’ll work with any outfit, all year long.

Breakdown of the look after the fold…

When I first saw the new Valentino bags last year I was completely starstruck. Valentino really went all out with the statement details. There were beautiful large bows, rosettes, ruffles, and petals accenting the handbags. One of my favorite is this Shiny Napa Petal Tote.

It would be so much fun to own this Valentino Petal Tote but of course, it wouldn’t be so practical to spend all that money too. Well, for us bargain shoppers anyway. However, what if I tell you there’s a similar looking back that costs under $50?

One of my birthday gifts from the husband last year was a silver ring with a cutout and butterflies on top. It’s a wide band and a very intricate design feature a cutout vine with 2 pretty encrusted butterflies sitting on top. It’s really pretty and so big. It’s big but not gaudy. It’s just like the bold rings that are so trendy right now. Forever21 has a nice selection you could pick from if you want one.

Holiday Rhinestone Bow Ring, $6.80. A high polished metal bow with encrusted rhinestone accents.

Grammy Awards is like a breed of it’s own compared to other award shows. It’s a free for all kind of red carpet fashion. It’s when the artists and musician’s characters get to come out in full bloom. 2010 Grammy’s was no exception. I’m not really into all the bizarre and crazy red carpet fashion even though it’s from the Artist’s that I actually love to listen to. I’m not one of the fans who buy into their “image”, so to speak. When it comes to Fashion, I’d still go for the ones that make sense. So, here are …read more
