ÖGON Designs wallets offer both style and high-tech protection.  These aluminum wallets not only protect credit cards’ electro-magnetic strip from demagnetization, but also prevent Radio Frequency Identification identity theft.  Modern times call for modern wallets.

I received the Aluminum “Fan-Shaped” Wallet In Silver to review.  This particular style retails for about $40.00.  The sleek design offers a unique, unisex appeal.  A conversation piece in its own right, this wallet will help you stand out in the crowd.  Imagine pulling your cash, credit card, gift card or business card from this modish container.  A click-button allows for easy opening and closing.  Inside, seven expandable pockets offer plenty of room for your cards.  I adore this wallet and think it makes a great gift for men and women.

The Body Shop Black Recycled Organizer $30.00
Stay organized and perfectly turned-out with this ultra practical, smart, two-part washbag. Created from recycled plastic bottles makes this bag not only stylish, but also environmentally friendly.

Rilke Poem Scarf $60.00
Made in Kenya, this 100% organic cotton scarf features a poem by German poet, Rainer Maria Rilke. Bono wore this style scarf at President Obama’s Inauguration Concert.

With all its eyes the natural world looks out into the Open. Only our eyes are turned backward, and surround plant, animal, child like traps, as they emerge into their freedom.

We know what is really out there only from the animal’s gaze; for we take the very young child and force it around, so that it sees objects–not the Open, which is so deep in animals’ faces. Free from death.

We, only, can see death; the free animal has its decline in back of it, forever, and God in front, and when it moves, it moves already in eternity, like a fountain.

Envirosax reusable shopping bags are saving the world, one stylish bag at a time.  Since 2004, this Australian-born company has been committed to spreading a positive environmental message through its line of fashionable eco-friendly bags.

Designed to last, these shopping bags possess several outstanding qualities. Each Envirosax bag is lightweight, portable, waterproof and twice as strong as an ugly ol’ plastic bag.  A portion of Envirosax sales is donated to charities dedicated to preserving the environment.  These earth-friendly bags come in a variety of designs.  You can even buy Envirosax by the pack or create your own custom bag!

I’m enjoying my Candy Series Bag from the Envirosax Graphic Series line.  Priced just right at $8.50, this bag boasts a bold design inspired by Italian designer Emilio Pucci. We all know that shopping and glamour fit together beautifully, but throwing in the eco-friendly factor as these bags do is pure genius.

Make Mother Earth smile by picking up your favorite reusable shopping bags on the Envirosax website. Now being eco-friendly can be as glamorous, trendy and as unique as you!

I was thrilled to review two Memoire Collection accessories. I received the leather Shoulder Bag, $338.88, and the leather Cell Phone Case, $44.88.  Using two of my favorite .jpg photos of my children, the Eric Scott team created some of the most stunning accessories I’ve ever seen.   The color and details are beautifully captured in the luxurious leather designs.  These full-grain leather accessories are absolute showstoppers that I will be proud to carry for years to come.  True to the impeccable Eric Scott attention to detail, these items arrived beautifully gift boxed.  The roomy, zippered handbag came with its own dust bag and the cell phone case was accompanied by a signature polishing cloth.  Every last detail is breathtaking.

Strapped Belts are hip, fresh and wearable works of art.  Made with raw fusion glass and designed for people who enjoy making a statement through their own unique style, Strapped Belts offers something for everyone.

Opened in 2008 by designer John Frechette, Strapped Belts is enjoying a steady rise in the world of accessories.  John’s design studio, housed in Wyoming, turns out beautiful, one of a kind pieces that are fun to wear and to collect.

The buckles by Strapped Belts are interchangeable with most Western style belts and provide a unique way to accessorize your outfit.  At just $42.00 each, it is amazing to think that each buckle takes around 12 hours to create from start to finish.  Composed of raw fusion glass, these buckles require the same care that you give to your dinner plates.  If you respect Strapped Belts, they are sure to offer you years of fashionable fun.  (Please refrain from whipping your belt off and cracking it on the sidewalk during an especially wild night out on the town.)  If you want to ensure a perfect fit for your buckle, you can even pick up a leather belt from Strapped Belts.

My brown leather belt with its aqua and brown striped buckle from Strapped Belts is irresistible. I love that while it is unlike any other belt I own, it is effortlessly stylish and not at all out of place.  While some one of a kind accessories can be a definite miss and make you stick out like a sore thumb, Strapped Belts provides these unique glass belt buckles that are right on point with the latest colors and statement making trends.

Visit Strapped Belts to pick up something hip for yourself or a friend. Be sure to check out their newly added cufflinks, too!
