August 17: Brooke Shields, Favourite Mum's Video

Congratulations to Sarah Russell - winner of our Breakfast with Brag Bags Competition - Sarah will be joining Brag Bags staff at the Pearls of Wisdom breakfast at Burswood next Saturday. Sarah will be enjoying a morning of fun, fashion parades (and of course, fabulous company) and receiving a gift bag that has been exclusively designed by Brag Bags for the event.

In the interests of the fast approaching Fathers Day follow this link to our favorite song about Mothers :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxT5NwQUtVM

3 Things I have Learnt About Fashion

1. You don't always get what you pay for.
2. Skinny leg jeans are only for people with skinny legs.
3. While leg warmers do indeed keep your legs warm and head bands are bands for your head. Nail bars are sadly not hardware stores that serve cocktails :(

Where In The World - We here at Brag Bags just love hearing about all the places you have spotted a Brag Bag. Please let us know where you have seen one of our bags and we will mention it here.

Pictured here is one of our favorite spots - gorgeous Lipstick Jungle star Brooke Shields with her very own bragbag.

Help Ms WWFB:

I am heading away for a romantic weekend with my new man and am so nervous as we have never spent such a length of time together...what should I pack???

You lucky girl - the last "romantic" weekend I went on with a hot boy was in a caravan. In Augusta. The boy was my son and it was December. Get out your Croque Cabin and throw in some saucy nightwear, glam resort wear and a bottle or three of champagne. Fill the bath with bubbles on arrival and light some candles and any nerves will magically melt away like my foundation on a hot day :)

August 10: 5 reasons why you need a new bag this Summer

We have been FLAT out at brag bags central lately working on the Summer range which looks amazing – all the hot on trend looks for the season have been incorporated with lots of bright colours, shiny patents, metallic and nautical pieces to appeal to your inner magpie. Fashionista’s will still find plenty to love in all black, all the time. Check out the catalogue at http://www.bragbags.com.au/summer09.pdf.

Please send me ALL your problems – I might not care or even answer them but they will make me feel better about my own life at least…

Dear Ms WWFB (Will Work For Bags)

Help! I don’t know how to wear the new season metallics – especially accessories – should my shoes and bag still match????


Hhhmmmm - ok – do you live on the Gold Coast (Viva Bris Vegas), are you the mother of the groom, do you serve drinks at the Copa Cabana…if you answered no to all of these (and even if you answered yes) then you don’t need to match your shoes and bag. Contrast and complement and treat metallic’s like a neutral especially in Spring and Summer when black shoes can be a bit harsh.


5 Reasons You Need A New Bag This Summer And Not A New Man
1. Your new Summer bag will help you haul all your stuff to the beach (think the BeachBall, page 32

2. Your new Summer bag won’t care if you gain 2 stone.

3. You won’t mind if your best friend is using the same new Summer bag.

4. Your new Summer bag won’t even notice that it’s not your only new Summer bag.

5. Your new Summer bag won't forget to take the rubbish out – see it was really only 4 valid reasons – I was stretching it with that one.




Very exciting news this week – 20 or so of our Summer range jetted off to Melbourne to Channel Ten where they will be part of a huge publicity campaign to launch a new reality dating show – keep your eyes peeled and let us know when and where you spot any promos featuring brag bags.
