Stylish with Substance

Last week would normally have been Thanksgiving week but the holiday was early this year. So what, I still give thanks to the Best Blogged Bags! Thanks for some nice eye-candy window shopping during the first official shopping week for the Giftgiving holidays. (Something to do besides worry about actual shopping, is read the blogs!) My pick posts...

Luella Heritage Tassel Satchel - I just love Luella, and this bag gives no exception! -The Purse Page
Guess Tribeca Clutch - has the look of fab glam, and no ugly 'G' logo, with a fairly reasonable pricetag: $78 (although it's vynl) -Purseuing
Mango Patent Trody C. bag - is cheap, too, but with the subtle look of sophistication, for 40 pounds -The Bag Lady
Junior Drake Clutch - we love puffy clutches now! -In My Bag

And our top pick of the week is not from a strictly handbag blog, congrats! The Fashion Police likened this Dolce & Gabanna bag (above) to ... Yoda. Love that relation more, I couldn't.

Perhaps a good blogger should cover more than she can cover, to really cover as much as she can - or can't? Anyway, I'm bringing back (after I've just come back) weekly bagopshere posts. But I'm trying to expand into bag-related posts from non-bag blogs, too. Tough! I also would love to discover new bag blogs (I've receieved some recently and I'm late on adding your wonderful links). Anyway, if you have a post you'd like to suggest - comment us!

• Apparently this Fendi bag ate the wrong part of a turkey this Thanksgiving (and the meal didn't agree with it) - or, well, what would purses eat anyway? Anyhoo! I don't enjoy animal cruelty symbols for my heartwarming meets feast (and mashed potatoes) holiday, but I do enjoy giggling at this fab but overcooked purse! --InMyBag


• Plum plaid/croc framed satchel by River Island -- you see this is a handbag I would never find to post, especially since it's from the UK! But gosh, I kind of fancy it! --TheBagLady


• The Addict's Mantra: The Logo is Not Who You Are --TheRunwayScoop


• The dream find = Vintage Dior Bag for ... $8 --- leads to the TOUGHEST question of all = is it or is it not---real? (I hope it is, and oh! It makes me want the perfect vintage Dior-at any price!) -- Help a girl out over at StyleBytes. (The post is older, but the bag was featured recently in an ensemble.)


• And finally... Of course one must feature a post with one of the fabbest bags in the world, but only in a bagosphere recap when - alas - it is the rare pipe dream of a 30cm Blue Jean Hermés Birkin that is not my own, nor for sale. Whose is it? Megs. I can only dream on my little blogger's pay, but I'm happy to stay the blogger anyway (and hope to grow, at least)! For the rest of those like I, let us ogle these really well-taken photographs! --ThePurseBlog
  

Today we sum up this holiday week in bag blogging, turkey and graciousness (not to mention a more Christmas-themed than Thanksgiving parade, as usual). Luckily, the graciousness might just continue on the Internet--if we all try hard, we may still have those mashed potatoes whenever we're able to peel the spuds, we still have all that we give thanks for, and at least hopefully the turkeys are a little bit safer, for now.

At least when it comes to eating them.

No, we must worry more about the cows. Back to life!
