			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-277" title="blue-beaded-handbag" src="http://www.theshopaholicstop.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/blue-beaded-handbag.jpg" alt="blue-beaded-handbag" width="300" height="300" /></p>
<p>Bags can either make or break an outfit. Gals who are into bags know this fact and are very much careful in picking up the bag that could suit their outfits. If you are someone who is greatly into fashion, you probably have the feeling of lusting over gorgeous trends of bags. People, particularly women, always look for something fresh that will complete their wardrobe. It’s a constantly emerging trend each year. And this is what women look forward to. As the year starts, new designs of handbags and purses will definitely entice the craving eyes of fashionistas.</p>
<p>Like other kinds of fashion, footwear and clothing, the trend of bags is another work of history. It comes and it goes and it comes back. What makes it fresh is the color and outfit it perfectly goes with.</p>
<p>To make your whole year fashionably perfect, get to know the emerging trends of handbags and purses for this year.</p>
<p>Clutch Handbag<br />
It&#8217;s the hottest shape of the year. Grab one for your own. With this vintage and retro-looking handbag, you will definitely sport a flair for an antique style. A cluth handbag is perfect for ladies on the go. Many businesswomen like it because they can just take it anywhere they go. This small cute thing is actually big enough to hold your things.</p>
<p>Patent Handbag<br />
It&#8217;s a chic handbag for everyday use. Whether you would like to go on a formal meeting or spend a night out with your friends, this patent handbag goes perfectly with any occasion; smooth or funk.</p>
<p>Mini Handbag<br />
You were drowned by last year&#8217;s huge bags. Now is the time to go mini. Get the basics, put them inside your mini handbag and you are ready to go!</p>
<p>Metallic Handbag<br />
With its luster, no wonder it&#8217;s been coming back the trend. Just pick some fabulous color and have a refreshing look on the metallic trend that&#8217;s been a part of the past.</p>
<p>Convertible Handbag<br />
Hang it across your body or over your shoulder or use it in a handbag mode, it doesn&#8217;t matter. This gives the lady the always prepared effect. Convert it, pull the strap longer and you are on the go mode. Convert it and pull the straps shorter and you are now in the chic mode.</p>
<p>Pocket Handbag<br />
Women are fond of small things in nature; wallet, coin purse, key chain, mobile phone, organizer and others. But the thing is women are also forgetful in nature. Thus a pocket handbag is perfect for these women. With lots of pockets in it, all your small things have a space without giving you the hardship of looking for them inside your bag.</p>
<p>White Handbag<br />
With all the different colors that go along with the trend, white stands out. Nothing feels fresher than carrying with you a clean white handbag. It&#8217;s trendy and refreshing.</p>
<p>Oversized bags<br />
The trend changes very often. However, there are always some that do not go with the change. Still, some shapes and size remain every season and oversized handbags are one of them. Nothing beats a bag that carries everything you need. It is perfect for those who love to work and those who are always on the go. Put some pieces of your shirt, towel, personal hygiene necessities, cosmetics and even one extra pair of shoes and you are ready to go.</p>
<p>Remember that a handbag is a big part of one&#8217;s outfit. It should fit your body type. Being in the trend is a plus but check if it’s right for you. Don&#8217;t be shy to try on these handbags at the store. Check if it looks good on you and if it feels comfortable wearing it. If not, don&#8217;t hesitate to try another one. Do not forget that bags can actually flatter your looks as much as a pair of jeans does. Moreover, bags do not ruin your looks. So put some sense of style and taste when picking a bag of your choice.</p>
<p>You already know the hottest handbags of the year, now is the time to check your wardrobe. Do you have them? If you do, check if the color goes with the trend, take them out and give some refreshing look on them. But of course, fresh is fresh and fresh is new and be fresh by checking out some of the hottest bags this year. You worked hard last year and it wouldn&#8217;t harm you to reward yourself at the start of the year with some of what a woman like you fancy most &#8211; and if you know someone who is a bag lady, perhaps your mother, sister, wife or girlfriend, make her happy by giving her one the hottest bags this year. It will surely paint a smile on her face.</p>

Not all women love the idea of a handbag. Some completely resist, shoving everything under the sun in their numerous pockets and being perfectly willing to leave a lot more at home than other women. Theres nothing wrong with this. Some people find it surprising when their girlfriend resists the idea, but men are often relieved at the money saved in handbag expenses.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-281" title="FI/BAG" src="http://www.theshopaholicstop.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/louis_vuitton_tribute_handbag-230x300.jpg" alt="FI/BAG" width="230" height="300" />Culturally speaking in the United States, women are supposed to love the idea of carrying around some sort of handbag for the majority of their life. Not all women love the idea of a handbag. Some completely resist, shoving everything under the sun in their numerous pockets and being perfectly willing to leave a lot more at home than other women. Theres nothing wrong with this. Some people find it surprising when their girlfriend resists the idea, but men are often relieved at the money saved in handbag expenses.</p>
<p>However, sometimes there is a need for a woman who really can not handle the idea of carrying purse to move into the handbag territory simply because of its necessity. Whether for work or for medical reasons or for other reasons, their life simply can no longer fit into their pockets, no matter how hard they try. Thus, it is time to embark on the mission of buying a handbag for the woman who hates handbags.</p>
<p>First, its important to understand why it is that the handbag is such a bitter idea. Most women and even men associate a handbag with traditional female roles and obligations. A handbag is a symbol to many women, a symbol that indicates that women are supposed to carry the bulk of the crap. This can be a big turn off for many women. Who wants to be saddled carrying everything around? Emotionally speaking, women who feel like they are forced to carry the bulk of the crap are more resistant to handbags than women who feel that they are in neutral ground when it comes to crap carrying. Of course, there are other reasons as well.</p>
<p>Some women simply reject societys standard of what makes a woman feminine. A woman can be feminine while wielding around a hammer and a stun gun even if she doesnt look like Angelina Jolie. Femininity is a state of mind more than a skill at accessorizing. However, for most of our society, when we ask about the things women will do that men dont, carrying a handbag is right up there on the list. This can be frustrating for women who need to venture into the land of carrying more items than their pockets will hold.</p>
<p>Just because you have to delve into the land of handbags doesnt mean that you have to come walking away with some cute little strapped number that is barely big enough to slip your keys and wallet into. The world of handbags has grown in the last twenty years, offering to many new choices that fit their personality and style much better than little strapped numbers with sparkles on the side.</p>
<p>Saddle bags are the number one pick for women who hate handbags but need one. Saddle bags are relatively large handbags and are a creative cross between the traditional purse and the traditional leather backpack. These handbags slip over the shoulder with the feel of a backpack and offer a blended style. For a lot of women, even those who love the handbag, the extra room afforded by this style is not only perfect, but the ease with which it stays on the shoulder and the ease of which it can be flung like a backpack makes it feel less intrusive to the woman who is handbag resistant.</p>
<p>When purchasing a handbag for a woman who hates handbags, shy away from anything too traditional looking, too feminine, and too glitzy or glamorous. Something functional, something comfortable, and something that blends well with their pre-selected style is more likely to bring about peace and willingness. A handbag shouldnt have to be a traumatic idea.</p>
<p>Never force a handbag on a resistant woman. Youll resent the money you spent and shell resent that you are trying to change her somehow. Rather, allow her the freedom to decide ultimately for herself what she wants to try and how she wants to make the transition.</p>
<p>Using a handbag is just as much about habit as anything else sometimes. Some women dont necessarily harbor negative feelings, they just never got into the habit of grabbing a handbag on their way out the door. This is reasonable, and anyone who wants to or needs to can get into the habit simply by leaving the bag where their keys are. You arent leaving the house without your keys, thus you arent going to leave the house without anything that you have assigned your keys to babysit for you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-297" title="flattering purse" src="http://www.theshopaholicstop.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/flattering-purse.gif" alt="flattering purse" width="209" height="257" />Handbags, next to diamonds and maybe shoes, are a woman’s best friend. Not only are they used to hold everything that we hold dear, from our cellular phones to our credit cards, our palm pilots to the papers that will spell the difference between promotion and demotion. Let’s face it, can you imagine a world without the women’s handbag as we know it?</p>
<p>Today, women handbags are not only “receptacles” of your prized possessions but also fashion statements. Handbags are often used to express moods, individuality, style and status. And even though, it is not really worn so close to the body like bloused, skirts and jeans, there are still shapes and styles of women’s handbags that may be flattering and unflattering to a person. Believe it or not, the handbag that you carry can actually add on or lessen the weight that you appear to carry.</p>
<p>Read on and find out just how to choose the perfect shape, size and style of women handbag that will fit your body type and personal style.</p>
<p>Look at the shape.<br />
Choose the shape that is opposite your body type. For instance, if you are tall and thin, look for bags that are more on the rounded side like the hobo or those that are a bit unstructured. This will complement your figure as it would provide a sharp contrast to your body. If on the other hand, you are on the short and heavy side, it is good to carry women handbags that are tall, rectangular or those with really defined shapes. Long and sleek designs will help counterbalance your more rounded figure. Of course, there is no need to buy women handbags that are absolutely reed thin or those with really sharp edges. Silhouettes in soft fabrics and leathers can do the trick. Just remember to stay away from women handbags with rounded designs.</p>
<p>Think of the size<br />
The size of your bag should complement your size. While the shape should be contrasting and complementing, the size should be in proportion. If for example you are quite tall and big for your age, it would be really awkward for you to carry this really small handbag. The same goes with a really petite person while carrying this really big bag. Awkward. Awkward. Awkward.</p>
<p>Closefitting women handbags or those that can be fit right under the arm at breast level can only look great with women who are slim and those who want to emphasize their cleavage. Using these kinds of women handbags are discouraged for people who have big arms and big busts as the short handles tend to emphasize the large sizes. Remember that the length of the handbag or shoulder bag will always accentuate the part it comes near with. If, for instance, the bag hits your bottom half or hip area, then that area of your body will become more focused as the eyes are naturally drawn to it.</p>
<p>Most women look great with handbags and shoulder bags that end in mid-torso as it flatters the waist. To determine if the length of the strap fits you, try it out. If your arm feels cramped, then it is too short. Try out the bag in the mirror and see for yourself if the bag is flattering to you.</p>
