How you carry your handbag reveals your personality!

If you hold a handbag by the handle (hand is lowered) - you are moderate in every respect, decent and punctual.

A hand passed through a handle (an elbow is pressed to waist), this means, you like order and can keep house, are proud of yourself and very much afraid to fall in other people’s estimation.

If the hand, which a handbag is thrown on, is lifted upwards, to a shoulder - you are courageous and vigorous, do not avoid problems, are sociable, however, are too afraid of loneliness.

If you hold your bag by the corner, you might tend to leave it anywhere. It is peculiar to exclusively self-confident natured women.

Bag through a shoulder (hand is not free) - you are constraining and underconfident. And if your hand dangles every which way, you are cheerful, like company and compliments.

Bag under arm – you make an impression of a closed person, however it is quite possible that you are simply independent and serious.

Winter Awaits

Its not far off now, when we'll see the fruits of our hard designing work over these past few months. Yes, our Winter range is almost ready.

We've had a revisit to some popular themes of past, one being the perennial favourite, the "Too Many Shoes" bag. This time we've put together a "Too Many Boots" theme with a brand new messenger style that is covered with child-proof cover to keep those sticky fingermarks at bag. It has a matching uber-cool overnight bag. I'm thinking I'm going to use my for the gym (which unfortunately means it hasn't been out much lately!).

Anyway, we are constantly asked about our handbag organizers. We sold out in December, and they are available at the end of this month. Hurray! This time we've upped the ante and made them for luxe microsuede. Nothing like being organized and glamorous at the same time!

Stay tuned for more soon!

Fashion Parade, Next Events, How to Wear Jeans

It has been a very very bust week and a half at brag bags - we had the
Pearls of Wisdom breakfast which featured a brag bags fashion parade
set to Fergie's "Labels or Love". Big thanks to Danielle and the
girls at Metro Models for such a great show. All the girls had a great
time and the Brag Bags team were one of the last to leave.

Ms WWFB's held a very successful fundraising morning at the Perth
International School. Thanks to all the ladies especially Tracy
for making me feel so welcome. FREE PLUG - Contact us at Brag Bags for
all your fundraising needs.

This week we will be supporting the Breast Cancer Fundraiser - Fashion & Flowers
at Frasiers in Kings Park. On Sunday the 14th of September
we will have a stall at UpMarket at the Perth Town Hall from 12 -
5pm. Come along and grab yourself something fabulous.

The week beginning Monday the 15th of September to Saturday 20th of
September bragbags will be at Melville Plaza Shopping Centre on
Canning Highway - please come by and say Hi!

BAG OF THE WEEK - Spent the weekend toting around my Yellow Pleated
Shoulder bag and just found it fun, fashionable and fabulous - a
little like the Brag Bags Team actually :)

We want you all to look and feel as fabulous as you are so though some timely tips for choosing jeans would come in handy:

If you are curvy, dark jeans are the most flattering as light or
bleached denim will emphasize your thighs and bottom - eekkk!

If you are vertically challenged stay away from cropped jeans as they
will make you look shorter. (Ms WWFB I am looking at you).

Back pockets - not just somewhere to pop your mobile - so choose them
carefully. To slim down a generous bottom opt for large, flat pockets.
Flap pockets or prominent stitching however will add definition to a
flat behind.

Dress Like A Star this Summer

The excitement in the air is palpable this week at brag bags HQ as we unpack the Summer shipment – have my eye on no fewer than seven bags to kick off the season – too much is never enough.

Book Of The Month – Contrary to popular belief we do (and can) read something other than Vogue and Grazia and our must read book this month is “Dress Like A Star” by fashion’s fairy godmother Annebelle van Tongeren, senior stylist for such shows and events as Australian Idol, Big Brother, The Logies, The Arias and Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival. On Annebelle’s wise advice I have thrown away all my 50’s style skirts and polo necks to reveal a slimmer and taller Ms WWFB J

Brag Bags will be attending the Fashion and Flowers Ladies Lunch at Fraser’s in Kings Park on the 11th of September to help raise funds for the Breast Cancer Foundation of WA. The event promises to fun, fabulous and fashionable. For ticket information visit kingsparkfestival.com.au.

Retail Detail – We have been loving our time at shopping centres around Perth meeting our customers, making new friends and getting lots of valuable feedback on our range. We have a gorgeous selection of sterling silver and marcasite rings on display which girls love to pour over and try on hoping to find the perfect piece of bling for their fingers. You know I’ve watched these lovely ladies spend more time selecting their $39 ring than I spent choosing my engagement ring (and husband for that matter).

Bold, bright and brave colours are back for Summer. Grab a Retro Circles in green, yellow or orange for an instant wardrobe pick up or better still one of each

Remember – “well behaved women rarely make history….”
