			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Rona Berg, in her book, &#8220;Beauty  the New Basics,&#8221; details the five different skin types.  Berg suggests you take the &#8220;skin test.&#8221;  Wash your face, pat it dry, then  take a few pieces of rice paper or lens-cleaning tissue paper and press  on different spots on your face. If your skin is oily, the paper will  stick, pick up oily spots and become translucent. If the paper doesn&#8217;t  stick or pick up any oily spots, your skin is dry. If it sticks in your  t-zone (forehead, nose and chin) then you have combination (or normal)  skin. About 70 percent of women have combination skin.<br />
Here are the five different skin types and their characteristics.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Type 1: Oily</strong> Oily skin tends to shiny with enlarged pores,  and is prone to blackheads and blemishes. You might experience some  tightness.</li>
<li><strong>Type 2: Combination/normal</strong> This skin type has medium pores,  a smooth and even texture, good circulation, healthy color, may tend  toward dryness on the cheeks while being oily in the t-zone.<span id="more-116"></span></li>
<li><strong>Type 3: Sensitive</strong> Sensitive skin tends to be thin, delicate  with fine pores. It flushes easily, is prone to broken capillaries, is  frequently allergic and can be rashy.</li>
<li><strong>Type 4: Dry</strong> Dry skin feels tight, especially after  cleansing. You have a tendency towards fine wrinkles, flaking and red  patches. In women of color, skin may appear ashy or dull from dead skin  buildup.</li>
<li><strong>Type 5: Aging or sun-damaged</strong> This skin also feels tight  with visible wrinkles, slack skin tone &#8212; especially around the cheeks  and jawline &#8212; with leathery texture and broken capillaries.</li>
</ul>
<p>Now, you can choose your skin type from the five basic skin care types: Oily, combination, sensitive, dry  and sun-damaged. Furthermore, you can do the right skin care routine.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You know the drill when it comes to losing weight &#8212; take in fewer  calories,  burn more calories. But you also know that most diets and  quick weight-loss  plans have about as much substance as a politician&#8217;s  campaign pledges. You&#8217;re  better off finding several simple things you  can do on a daily basis &#8212; along  with following the cardinal rules of  eating more vegetables and less fat and  getting more physical activity.  Together, they should send the scale numbers in  the right direction:  down.</p>
<p><strong>1. Once a week, indulge in a high-calorie-tasting, but   low-calorie, treat.</strong> This should help keep you from feeling deprived  and  binging on higher-calorie foods. For instance:</p>
<ul>
<li><em><strong>Lobster.</strong></em> Just  83 calories in 3 ounces.</li>
<li><em><strong>Shrimp.</strong></em> Just  60 calories in 12 large.</li>
<li><em><strong>Smoked salmon.</strong></em> Just 66 calories in two ounces.  Sprinkle with capers for an even more elegant  treat.</li>
<li><em><strong>Whipped cream.</strong></em> Just 8 calories in one tablespoon. Drop  a dollop over a bowl of fresh fruit for  dessert.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>2. Treat   high-calorie foods as jewels in the crown.</strong> Make a spoonful of ice  cream the  jewel and a bowl of fruit the crown. Cut down on the chips by  pairing each bite  with lots of chunky, filling fresh salsa, suggests  Jeff Novick, director of  nutrition at the Pritikin Longevity Center  &amp; Spa in Florida. Balance a  little cheese with a lot of salad.<br />
<strong>3.  After breakfast, make water your primary drink.</strong> At  breakfast, go  ahead and drink orange juice. But throughout the rest of the day,  focus  on water instead of juice or soda. The average  American consumes an  extra 245 calories a day from soft drinks. That&#8217;s nearly  90,000  calories a year &#8212; or 25 pounds! And research shows that despite the   calories, sugary drinks don&#8217;t trigger a sense of fullness the way that  food  does.<br />
<strong>4. Carry a  palm-size notebook everywhere you go for one week.</strong> Write down every single  morsel that enters your lips &#8212; even water.  Studies have found that people who  maintain food diaries wind up eating  about 15 percent less food than those who  don&#8217;t.</p>
<p><strong>5. Buy a pedometer, clip it to your  belt, and aim for an extra  1,000 steps a day.</strong> On average, sedentary people  take only 2,000 to  3,000 steps a day. Adding 2,000 steps will help you maintain  your  current weight and stop gaining weight; adding more than that will help  you  lose weight.</p>
<p><span id="more-113"></span></p>
<p><strong>6. Add  10 percent to the amount of daily calories you <em>think</em> you&#8217;re eating</strong>, then adjust your eating habits accordingly. If you  think  you&#8217;re consuming 1,700 calories a day and don&#8217;t understand why  you&#8217;re not losing  weight, add another 170 calories to your guesstimate.  Chances are, the new  number is more accurate.</p>
<p><strong>7. Eat five or six small meals or snacks a day instead of three   large meals.</strong> A 1999 South African study found that when men ate  parts of  their morning meal at intervals over five hours, they consumed  almost 30 percent  fewer calories at lunch than when they ate a single  breakfast. Other studies  show that even if you eat the same number of  calories distributed this way, your  body releases less insulin, which  keeps blood sugar steady and helps control  hunger.</p>
<p><strong>8. Walk for  45 minutes a day.</strong> The reason we&#8217;re suggesting 45  minutes instead of the  typical 30 is that a Duke University study found  that while 30 minutes of daily  walking is enough to prevent weight  gain in most relatively sedentary people,  exercise <em>beyond</em> 30  minutes results in weight and fat  loss. Burning an additional 300  calories a day with three miles of brisk walking  (45 minutes should do  it) could help you lose 30 pounds in a year without even  changing how  much you&#8217;re eating.</p>
<p><strong>9. Find an online weight-loss buddy.</strong> A University of Vermont   study found that online weight-loss buddies help you keep the weight  off. The  researchers followed volunteers for 18 months. Those assigned  to an  Internet-based weight maintenance program sustained their weight  loss better  than those who met face-to-face in a support group.</p>
<p><strong>10. Bring the color blue into your life more  often.</strong> There&#8217;s a  good reason you won&#8217;t see many fast-food restaurants  decorated in  blue: Believe it or not, the color blue functions as an appetite   suppressant. So serve up dinner on blue plates, dress in blue while you  eat, and  cover your table with a blue tablecloth. Conversely, avoid  red, yellow, and  orange in your dining areas. Studies find they  encourage eating.</p>
<p><strong>11. Clean your closet of  the &#8220;fat&#8221; clothes.</strong> Once you&#8217;ve  reached your target weight, throw out or give  away every piece of  clothing that doesn&#8217;t fit. The idea of having to buy a whole  new  wardrobe if you gain the weight back will serve as a strong incentive to   maintain your new figure.</p>
<p><strong>12. Downsize your dinner plates.</strong> Studies find that the less   food put in front of you, the less food you&#8217;ll eat. Conversely, the more  food in  front of you, the more you&#8217;ll eat &#8212; regardless of how hungry  you are. So  instead of using regular dinner plates that range these  days from 10-14 inches  (making them look forlornly empty if they&#8217;re not  heaped with food), serve your  main course on salad plates (about 7-9  inches wide). The same goes for liquids.  Instead of 16-ounce glasses  and oversized coffee mugs, return to the old days of  8-ounce glasses  and 6-ounce coffee cups.</p>
<p><strong>13. Serve your dinner restaurant style</strong> (food on the plates) rather than family style (food served in bowls and on platters on the table). When your plate is empty, you&#8217;re finished; there&#8217;s no reaching for seconds.</p>
<p><strong>14. Hang a mirror opposite your seat at the table.</strong> One study found that eating in front of mirrors slashed the amount people ate by nearly one-third. Seems having to look yourself in the eye reflects back some of your own inner standards and goals, and reminds you of why you&#8217;re trying to lose weight in the first place.</p>
<p><strong>15. Put out a vegetable platter. </strong>A body of research out of Pennsylvania State University finds that eating water-rich foods such as zucchini, tomatoes, and cucumbers during meals reduces your overall calorie consumption. Other water-rich foods include soups and salads. You won&#8217;t get the same benefits by just drinking your water, though. Because the body processes hunger and thirst through different mechanisms, it simply doesn&#8217;t register a sense of fullness with water (or soda, tea, coffee, or juice).</p>
<p><strong>16. Use vegetables to bulk up meals.</strong> You can eat twice as much pasta salad loaded with veggies like broccoli, carrots, and tomatoes for the same calories as a pasta salad sporting just mayonnaise. Same goes for stir-fries. And add vegetables to make a fluffier, more satisfying omelet without having to up the number of eggs.</p>
<p><strong>17. Eat one less cookie a day</strong>. Or consume one less can of regular soda, or one less glass of orange juice, or three fewer bites of a fast-food hamburger. Doing any of these saves you about 100 calories a day, according to weight-loss researcher James O. Hill, Ph.D., of the University of Colorado. And that alone is enough to prevent you from gaining the 1.8 to 2 pounds most people pack on each year.</p>
<p><strong>18. Avoid white foods.</strong> There is some scientific legitimacy to today&#8217;s lower-carb diets: Large amounts of simple carbohydrates from white flour and added sugar can wreak havoc on your blood sugar and lead to weight gain. But you shouldn&#8217;t toss out the baby with the bathwater. While avoiding sugar, white rice, and white flour, you should eat plenty of whole grain breads and brown rice. One Harvard study of 74,000 women found that those who ate more than two daily servings of whole grains were 49 percent less likely to be overweight than those who ate the white stuff.</p>
<p><strong>19. Switch to ordinary coffee.</strong> Fancy coffee drinks from trendy coffee joints often pack several hundred calories, thanks to whole milk, whipped cream, sugar, and sugary syrups. A cup of regular coffee with skim milk has just a small fraction of those calories. And when brewed with good beans, it tastes just as great.</p>
<p><strong><br />
20. Use nonfat powdered milk in coffee.</strong> You get the nutritional benefits of skim milk, which is high in calcium and low in calories. And, because the water has been removed, powdered milk doesn&#8217;t dilute the coffee the way skim milk does.</p>
<p><strong>21. Eat cereal for breakfast five days a week.</strong> Studies find that people who eat cereal for breakfast every day are significantly less likely to be obese and have diabetes than those who don&#8217;t. They also consume more fiber and calcium &#8212; and less fat &#8212; than those who eat other breakfast foods. Of course, that doesn&#8217;t mean reaching for the Cap&#8217;n Crunch. Instead, pour out a high-fiber, low-sugar cereal like Total or Grape Nuts.</p>
<p><strong>22. Pare your portions.</strong> Whether you eat at home or in a restaurant, immediately remove one-third of the food on your plate. Arguably the worst food trend of the past few decades has been the explosion in portion sizes on America&#8217;s dinner plates (and breakfast and lunch plates). We eat far, far more today than our bodies need. Studies find that if you serve people more food, they&#8217;ll eat more food, regardless of their hunger level. The converse is also true: Serve yourself less and you&#8217;ll eat less.</p>
<p>PLUS: 20 Secrets Your Waiter Won&#8217;t Tell You<br />
<strong><br />
23. Eat 90 percent of your meals at home.</strong> You&#8217;re more likely to eat more &#8212; and eat more high-fat, high-calorie foods &#8212; when you eat out than when you eat at home. Restaurants today serve such large portions that many have switched to larger plates and tables to accommodate them!</p>
<p><strong>24. Avoid any prepared food that lists sugar, fructose, or corn syrup among the first four ingredients on the label. </strong>You should be able to find a lower-sugar version of the same type of food. If you can&#8217;t, grab a piece of fruit instead! Look for sugar-free varieties of foods such as ketchup, mayonnaise, and salad dressing.</p>
<p><strong>25. Eat slowly and calmly. </strong>Put your fork or spoon down between every bite. Sip water frequently. Intersperse your eating with stories for your dining partner of the amusing things that happened during your day. Your brain lags your stomach by about 20 minutes when it comes to satiety (fullness) signals. If you eat slowly enough, your brain will catch up to tell you that you are no longer in need of food.</p>
<p><strong>26. Eat only when you hear your stomach growling.</strong> It&#8217;s stunning how often we eat out of boredom, nervousness, habit, or frustration &#8212; so often, in fact, that many of us have actually forgotten what physical hunger feels like. Next time, wait until your stomach is growling before you reach for food. If you&#8217;re hankering for a specific food, it&#8217;s probably a craving, not hunger. If you&#8217;d eat anything you could get your hands on, chances are you&#8217;re truly hungry.</p>
<p><strong>27. Find ways other than eating to express  love, tame stress, and relieve boredom.</strong> For instance, you might make your  family a photo album of special events instead of a rich dessert, sign up for a  stress-management course at the local hospital or take up an  active hobby, like bowling.</p>
<p><strong>28. State the positive.</strong> You&#8217;ve heard of a self-fulfilling  prophecy? Well, if you keep focusing on things you can&#8217;t do, like resisting junk  food or getting out the door for a daily walk, chances are you won&#8217;t do them.  Instead (whether you believe it or not) repeat positive thoughts to yourself. &#8220;I  can lose weight.&#8221; &#8220;I will get out for my walk today.&#8221; &#8220;I know I can resist the  pastry cart after dinner.&#8221; Repeat these phrases like a mantra all day long.  Before too long, they will become their own self-fulfilling prophecy.</p>
<p><strong>29. Discover your dietary  point of preference.</strong> If you work hard to control your weight, you may get  pleasure from your appearance, but you may also feel sorry for yourself each  time you forgo a favorite food. There is a balance to be struck between the  immediate gratification of indulgent foods and the long-term pleasure of  maintaining a desirable weight and good health. When you have that balance  worked out, you have identified your own personal dietary pleasure &#8220;point of  preference.&#8221; This is where you want to stay.</p>
<p><strong>30. Use flavorings such as hot sauce, salsa,  and Cajun seasonings</strong> instead of relying on butter and creamy or sugary  sauces. Besides providing lots of flavor with no fat and few calories, many of  these seasonings &#8212; the spicy ones &#8212; turn up your digestive fires, causing your  body to temporarily burn more calories.</p>
<p><strong>31. Eat fruit instead of drinking fruit  juice.</strong> For the calories in one kid-size box of apple juice, you can enjoy an  apple, orange, and a slice of watermelon. These whole foods will keep you  satisfied much longer than that box of apple juice, so you&#8217;ll eat less overall.</p>
<p><strong>32. Spend 10 minutes  a day walking up and down stairs.</strong> The Centers for Disease Control says  that&#8217;s all it takes to help you shed as much as 10 pounds a year (assuming you  don&#8217;t start eating more).</p>
<p><strong>33. Eat equal portions of vegetables and grains at dinner.</strong> A  cup of cooked rice or pasta has about 200 calories, whereas a cup of cooked  veggies doles out a mere 50 calories, on average, says Joan Salge Blake, R.D.,  clinical assistant professor of nutrition at Boston University&#8217;s Sargent  College. To avoid a grain calorie overload, eat a 1:1 ratio of grains to  veggies. The high-fiber veggies will help satisfy your hunger before you overeat  the grains.</p>
<p><strong>34. Get  up and walk around the office or your home</strong> for five minutes at least every  two hours. Stuck at a desk all day? A brisk five-minute walk every two hours  will parlay into an extra 20-minute walk by the end of the day. And getting a  break will make you less likely to reach for snacks out of antsiness.</p>
<p><strong>35. Wash something  thoroughly once a week</strong> &#8212; a floor, a couple of windows, the shower stall,  bathroom tile, or your car. A 150-pound person who dons rubber gloves and exerts  some elbow grease will burn about four calories for every minute spent cleaning,  says Blake. Scrub for 30 minutes and you could work off approximately 120  calories, the same number in a half-cup of vanilla frozen yogurt. And your  surroundings will sparkle!</p>
<p><strong>36. Make one social outing this week an active one.</strong> Pass on  the movie tickets and screen the views of a local park instead. Not only will  you sit less, but you&#8217;ll be saving calories because you won&#8217;t chow down on that  bucket of popcorn. Other active date ideas: Plan a tennis match, sign up for a  guided nature or city walk (check your local newspaper), go cycling on a bike  path, or join a volleyball league or bowling team.</p>
<p><strong>37. Order the smallest portion of everything.</strong> If you&#8217;re  ordering a sub, get the 6-inch sandwich. Buy a small popcorn, a small salad, a  small hamburger. Studies find we tend to eat what&#8217;s in front of us, even though  we&#8217;d feel just as full on less.</p>
<p><strong>38. Switch from regular milk to 2%.</strong> If you already drink 2%,  go down another notch to 1% or skim milk. Each step downward cuts the calories  by about 20 percent. Once you train your taste buds to enjoy skim milk, you&#8217;ll  have cut the calories in the whole milk by about half and trimmed the fat by  more than 95 percent.</p>
<p><strong>39. Take a walk before dinner.</strong> You&#8217;ll do more than burn  calories &#8212; you&#8217;ll cut your appetite. In a study of 10 obese women conducted at  the University of Glasgow in Scotland, 20 minutes of walking reduced appetite  and increased sensations of fullness as effectively as a light meal.</p>
<p><strong>40. Substitute a handful  of almonds in place of a sugary snack.</strong> A study from the City of Hope  National Medical Center found that overweight people who ate a moderate-fat diet  containing almonds lost more weight than a control group that didn&#8217;t eat nuts.  Really, any nut will do.</p>
<p><strong>41. Eat a frozen  dinner.</strong> Not just any frozen dinner, but one designed for weight loss. Most  of us tend to eat an average of 150 percent more calories in the evening than in  the morning. An easy way to keep dinner calories under control is to buy a  pre-portioned meal. Just make sure that it contains only one serving. If it  contains two, make sure you share.</p>
<p><strong>42. Don&#8217;t eat with a large group.</strong> A study published in the  <em>Journal of Physiological Behavior</em> found that we tend to  eat more when we eat with other people, most likely because we spend more time  at the table. But eating with your significant other or your family, and using  table time for talking in between chewing, can help cut down on calories &#8212; and  help with bonding in the bargain.</p>
<p><strong>43. Watch one less hour of TV.</strong> A study of 76 undergraduate  students found the more they watched television, the more often they ate and the  more they ate overall. Sacrifice one program (there&#8217;s probably one you don&#8217;t <em>really</em> want to watch anyway) and go for a walk instead.  You&#8217;ll have time left over to finish a chore or gaze at the stars.</p>
<p><strong>44. Get most of your calories before  noon.</strong> Studies find that the more you eat in the morning, the less you&#8217;ll eat  in the evening. And you have more opportunities to burn off those early-day  calories than you do to burn off dinner calories.</p>
<p><strong>45. Close out the kitchen after dinner.</strong> Wash all the dishes, wipe down the counters, turn out the light, and, if  necessary, tape closed the cabinets and refrigerator. Late-evening eating  significantly increases the overall number of calories you eat, a University of  Texas study found. Stopping late-night snacking can save 300 or more calories a  day, or 31 pounds a year.</p>
<p><strong>46. Sniff a banana, an apple, or a peppermint when you feel  hungry.</strong> You might feel silly, but it works. When Alan R. Hirsch, M.D.,  neurological director of the Smell &amp; Taste Treatment and Research Foundation  in Chicago, tried this with 3,000 volunteers, he found that the more frequently  people sniffed, the less hungry they were and the more weight they lost &#8212; an  average of 30 pounds each. One theory is that sniffing the food tricks the brain  into thinking you&#8217;re actually eating it.</p>
<p><strong>47. Order wine by the glass, not the bottle.</strong> That way you&#8217;ll  be more aware of how much alcohol you&#8217;re downing. Moderate drinking can be good  for your health, but alcohol is high in calories. And because drinking turns off  our inhibitions, it can drown our best intentions to keep portions in check.</p>
<p><strong>48. Watch every morsel  you put in your mouth on weekends.</strong> A University of North Carolina study  found people tend to consume an extra 115 calories per weekend day, primarily  from alcohol and fat.</p>
<p><strong>49. Stock your refrigerator with low-fat yogurt.</strong> A  University of Tennessee study found that people who cut 500 calories a day <em>and</em> ate yogurt three times a day for 12 weeks lost more  weight and body fat than a group that only cut the calories. The researchers  concluded that the calcium in low-fat dairy foods triggers a hormonal response  that inhibits the body&#8217;s production of fat cells and boosts the breakdown of  fat.</p>
<p><strong>50. Order your  dressing on the side and then stick a fork in it &#8212; not your salad.</strong> The  small amount of dressing that clings to the tines of the fork are plenty for the  forkful of salad you then pick up.</p>
<p><strong>51. Brush your teeth after every meal, especially after  dinner.</strong> That clean, minty freshness will serve as a cue to your body and  brain that mealtime is over.</p>
<p><strong>52. Serve individual courses rather than piling everything on  one plate.</strong> Make the first two courses soup or vegetables (such as a green  salad). By the time you get to the more calorie-dense foods, like meat and  dessert, you&#8217;ll be eating less or may already be full (leftovers are a good  thing).</p>
<p><strong>53. Passionately kiss your partner 10 times a  day.</strong> According to the 1991 <em>Kinsey Institute New Report on  Sex</em>, a passionate kiss burns 6.4 calories per minute. Ten minutes a day of  kissing equates to about 23,000 calories &#8212; or eight pounds &#8212; a year!</p>
<p><strong>54. Add hot peppers to  your pasta sauce.</strong> Capsaicin, the ingredient in hot peppers that makes them  hot, also helps reduce your appetite.</p>
<p><strong>55. Pack nutritious snacks.</strong> Snacking once or twice a day  helps stave off hunger and keeps your metabolism stoked, but healthy snacks can  be pretty darn hard to come by when you&#8217;re on the go. Pack up baby carrots or  your own trail mix made with nuts, raisins, seeds, and dried fruit.</p>
<p><strong>56. When you shop, choose  nutritious foods based on these four simple rules:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Avoid partially hydrogenated oil.</li>
<li>Avoid high-fructose corn syrup.</li>
<li>Choose a short ingredient list over long; there will be  fewer flavor enhancers and empty calories.</li>
<li>Look for two or more grams of fiber per 100 calories in all  grain products (cereal, bread, crackers, and chips).</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>57. Weed out calories you&#8217;ve been overlooking: spreads,  dressings, sauces, condiments, drinks, and snacks.</strong> These calories count,  whether or not you&#8217;ve been counting them, and could make the difference between  weight gain and loss.</p>
<p><strong>58. When you&#8217;re eating out with friends or family, dress up in  your most flattering outfit.</strong> You&#8217;ll get loads of compliments, says Susie  Galvez, author of <em>Weight Loss Wisdom</em>, which will be a  great reminder to watch what you eat.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.gleanbag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Coach_Alexandra_handbag.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-111" title="Coach_Alexandra_handbag" src="http://www.gleanbag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Coach_Alexandra_handbag-300x296.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="296" /></a></p>
<p>You must have discovered in these seasons, the designers always use some extravagant prints, colors or accessories to embellish their products. Of course, the fashion aficionados try to make themselves extraordinary and eye-catching. However, how to match among so many colors is a big question. Even for me, a fashion editor, it is still hard to write some suggestion for such cloth matching. So I just provide you another way to solve this problem.</p>
<p>If you have chosen a glamorous and colorful dress, I recommend you to carry a simple fashion handbag. How to choose? Now follow me to look at the Coach new embossed studded leather Alexandra handbag released recently. This purse is crafted in embossed leather with metallic leather trimming, and the monochrome petrol color would not steal the show of your dress, but melting into the whole stylish appearance. The studded C and jewelry-inspired hangtags give this piece a sumptuousness as well as graceful achievement.</p>
<p>In addition, the stunning appearance is accompanied with high function. Holding the dimension of 11 3/4 (L) x 10 1/2 (H) x 5 1/4 (W), this coach handbag is enlarged with the outside back zip pocket. Through the zip top, there are delicate fabric lining, inside zip, cell phone and multifunction pocket in the interior. With the double handles and shoulder strap, it easily converts from satchel to shoulder bag or acrossbody bag.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.gleanbag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Furla_Macro_M-Tracolla_Handbag.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-107" title="Furla_Macro_M Tracolla_Handbag" src="http://www.gleanbag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Furla_Macro_M-Tracolla_Handbag-300x151.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="151" /></a></p>
<p>Perforated leather handbag is surely one of the most popular fashion trends, which can be frequently seen in the shows and showrooms form Burberry to YSL. Personally I deeply love this vintage style, which reminds me the ancient, graceful as well as luxurious life at the palace. Now if you want to complete your summer look with a touch of vintage feeling, I strongly recommend you the Furla Macro M Tracolla Handbag, a delicate, sumptuous fashion handbag.</p>
<p>Interpreted of genuine leather, the Furla handbag is exquisitely glamorized by perforated design which enables it a front run of latest handbags. With rivet accents, the vintage-inspired style is mixed with some metallic modernity, thus no matter whenever or wherever you wear it, this purse will life your entire ensemble. Sinle handle with golden rings ensures a comfortable yet stylish hand carry.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.gleanbag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Furla_Macro_M-Tracolla_Handbag_2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-106" title="Furla_Macro_M Tracolla_Handbag_2" src="http://www.gleanbag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Furla_Macro_M-Tracolla_Handbag_2-300x117.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="117" /></a></p>
<p>Opening through the inside magnetic snap closure shows the fine  signature print lining, a back wall zip pocket as well as  multifunctional slip pocket, thus this <strong>ladies handbag</strong> can hold even more than your wallet, sunglasses, personal accessories, a  bottle of water as well as a copy of your favorite book. After reading  this posting, are you falling in love with this vintage-inspired purse?</p>
