Attention, ladies!  Brooches are not just for your grandmother anymore.  They’re perfect to add some sparkle to a sweater, coat, or even a tote bag.

I’ve bought several cute brooches on eBay over the past year or so.  Here are 4 fashion finds that I love and that you just might love, too.  (more…)

Ah, eBay.  It’s a treasure trove for lovers of vintage items.  This summer, I fell in love with vintage suitcases - mostly American Tourister-types from the 1960s.  I ended up purchasing a blue-gray round American Tourister “Tiara” suitcase from the ’60s.

The upside: It’s a classic that will always be fashionable.

The downside: It’s heavy as hell!  Carrying this bad boy through the airport would probably be a nightmare.  And would it fit in the overhead compartment?  Doubtful.  So far, I’ve only used this suitcase for short road trips, 1- or 2-night stays and the like.
