I am a girl with an eye for a bargain, especially in this economy where every penny counts.  So when I discovered the eBags Parlour Pouches last year, I knew that I had found a great, unique gift idea.  I purchased a few sets (each set comes with three pouches), filled each one with Hersey’s Kisses and gave them to my daughters’ teachers as a little “thank you”.  I still hear about how much they love the bags and how handy they are.  In fact, the girls’ new teachers are hoping for the same this year.  This is also my new favorite gift for gift exchanges where the recipient is unknown, and my nieces in high school will likely get one this year, but I may add a gift card to theirs.  There is even a green set which is perfect for the holiday season.  In this busy season, anything that I can do to simplify is key, so hopefully this will give you some ideas as you make your gift lists.  They also make great “end of the school year” gifts.  Enjoy!

The Lowepro Sling Shot 100 AW

I recently spend 12 days abroad photographing with a non-profit group in the countryside of Western Mongolia. Aside from trying desperately to pack light while bringing photography equipment, (Light and camera do not go hand in hand) my clothing supply took the hardest hit.  I did not want to skimp on my photography gear. Not when I was about to take the trip of a lifetime, and I wanted to properly document it with my Nikon D700 all without checking any bags.  Packing light meant that my carryon was packed to the brim with clothes, toiletries, granola bars, a sleeping bag liner, a winter hat, gloves, and various other items in anticipation of their cold climate. My camera bag qualified as my “one personal item” that was my remaining option for bags being carried on.

While in the countryside of Mongolia, my camera bag became my day-bag as well. It held my D700 body, 2 lenses, 2 flashes, a zip-lock bag of batteries, a flash diffuser, 8 extra Compact Flash memory cards, an ipod, and enough granola bars to suppress my appetite during the day. It even has a built-in lens cleaning cloth and a rain fly for unpredictable weather. All of this in the compact Lowepro Sling Shot 100 AW. I wouldn’t take another trip without it, and I HIGHLY recommend it to any SLR photographer with extra flashes/lenses to carry. You can easily change the position of the interior partitions to custom fit your gear.

Perfect compartment for granola bars! That's me on the right with my bag.

So, I moved to Colorado a couple of years ago and thought i’d try my hand at skiing. After 3 years of trying and not getting on too well (I can just about make it down the easiest of Mountains) I’ve decided to hang up my (Ski) Boots and have a go at snowboarding. As it turns out, that probably wasn’t the smartest move. Last weekend while snowboarding I managed to fall over so many times that I’ve hurt muscles I didn’t even know existed. So after buying a Snowboard and learning that I’m not exactly what you’d call a natural, I now need to find a bag to store my ‘board in (let’s face it, it’s safer for everyone in storage). So given my clear lack of experience in this department I could use some advice. I’ve been looking at this Burton Space Sack. Is this a good buy? My board is a 153.

Happy Halloween from eBags! Here’s to a fun and safe night of trick or treating, handing out candy, going to costume parties, and watching scary movies.

It’s that time of year again. Time to fall back an hour. So this Sunday, don’t forget to set all your clocks back including your car, watch, microwave, and handbag. Handbag? Yep, you read it right. There are actually handbags with working clocks in them, and if you carry one, you’ll need to adjust it this weekend as well.

Who makes these clock bags? Ashley M. My personal favorite is the Plaid Clock Bag, but you can also find these clock totes featuring leopard print, zebra print, black patent material, Marilyn Monroe, and Elvis. They’re the stylish way to tell the time. And best of all - batteries ARE included. Bet you haven’t heard that phrase in a while.

The Yankees and Phillies are battling it out for the World Series title. Tonight, the Phillies won the opener, but of course it’s not over yet.

Can’t get enough of the game? Take your team spirit with you everywhere with an MLB handbag like one from Littlearth. Both the quilted tote and the fanatics license plate purse are available for under $50 and are both stylish and sporty.

When you think of fall handbags, do you think of deep oranges, browns, and reds? Well, how about purple? Yes, purple…mulberry, violet, orchid, heliotrope. Anyway you say it, purple handbags are hot right now.

Purple is traditionally associated with royalty and nobility, but unless everyone thinks they’re actually a princess, I doubt that’s the reason purple is so popular at the moment. Rather I think that purple is simply one of those deep, rich colors that is perfect for fall and winter outfits. You don’t want a bag that screams “flowers” and “summer sun” but you also don’t want something drab. And purple goes with so many other colors from black to dark green to blue to red.

So if you’re among the many searching for purple handbags this season, you might like the GUESS Shine Candy Small Trap Tote. At $85.00, this bag is truly affordable style with just enough bling to make it and you sparkle. Looking for a designer handbag? Try the Gustto Gofre Collection Marga Bag. The detailing on this bag make it truly an eye-catching find.
