Texture Can Make or Break a Bag!


Tired of Being “Sheepish,” Fashion-Wise?
                                 Grab On to Givenchy’s Obsedia Line Sheepskin Clutch

The fashion artists at Givenchy deeply understand this concept, apparently, because they’ve created a sumptuous, almost paper mache-like (really high end paper mache, that is) concoction. The new Obsedia Lined Sheepskin clutch is dazzlingly simple, smooth and almost dappled  looking. Ever since, as kids, we learned about the cozy relationship between Mary and her little lamb, we secretly have all had something of an obsession with wool and other sheep products (The non-vegetarians out there also know that a roasted rack of lamb with mint jelly on the side is essentially God’s perfection. But let’s keep that to ourselves… and not tell Mary!).

The clutch is as simple as it is sumptuous. It looks perfectly “iPad sized” with a simple locking cross-like clasp on the front. It's perfect for carrying small work files, accessories, personal effects, and other goodies. Even just looking at a picture of the clutch on your computer monitor, you can see how delightful the rippled, soft, feathery texture looks like.

Can't you just imagine running your hand along the clutch and feeling all those different rivets and rivulets – kind of like how it feels to run your hand over one of those old globes of the earth (where the mountains felt like little ridges)?

This Givenchy clutch is available in both black and emerald colors, so it should match practically any look or outfit you have (honestly, what DO you own that doesn’t go well with black?) We love the emerald color!

Best of all, if you ever get insomnia, you no longer have to count “sheep” (how boring). You can now count little emerald (or black) sheepskin clutches jumping over a white picket fence – a much more modern and hip approach to the whole insomnia thing. Click the green link to indulge!

Rihanna Graces Glamour's September Issue

September’s Glamour cover star is 23-year-old music phenomenon and Facebook megastar, Rihanna.  She shares her story from her legendary abuse saga with Chris Brown to reinventing herself with self-revealing albums and dramatic fashion choices. In this candid interview, Rihanna reveals to Glamour, “My whole life changed a couple years ago. That’s when I decided to let my guard down completely. There’s freedom in honesty. If you just face it today, tomorrow you can move on to something else”.

Be sure to check out Glamour’s September Issue Facebook Tab for extra photos from Rihanna’s cover shoot that you can’t see anywhere else. Rihanna answers her Facebook fans’ burning questions in an exclusive video:
http://glmr.me/jTt3Tw
Glamour’s September issue is available on newsstands and digitally (iPad and Barnes & Noble Nook Color) nationwide on August 9, 2011.

Photographed by Ellen von Unwerth in Los Angeles, Rihanna appears on Glamour’s September cover wearing a classic tuxedo style in a Dolce & Gabbana top and pants and her own jewelry. Inside the issue, Rihanna wears a turquoise Marc Jacobs dress, Stephen Russell crystal and pearl bracelets, Christian Louboutin shoes and her own bangles; a black and teal lace Vionnet dress, Wacoal briefs, Christian Louboutin shoes and her own bangles and a glamorous Yves Saint Laurent white coat and black jumpsuit, Tom Ford clutch, Stephen Russell crystal and diamond bracelet and a Gucci belt
.

Check out what Rihanna shared with Glamour:
On hating drama…and perfection: “I hate drama. But at the same time, nothing bothers me more than when life’s perfect. And that’s the sick part. I just love a challenge, whether it’s a relationship, my career, clothing...”
On her attention getting sense of style: “Getting dressed, I want to pick the most bizarre pair of shorts so I can figure out how to make it look right, or work an outfit that will make people go, “What the hell is she wearing?”
On dealing with how messy life can get: “I think honesty is the ultimate liberation in life. People want to shy away from the truth and keep sweeping it under the rug. But after a while, you pick up the rug and there’s just way too much dirt, so you might as well just be up front about it.”
On being a role model for young girls:
“I want to set the right example and, at the same time, live my life….I feel like pop stars can’t be rock stars anymore because they have to be role models, and it takes the fun out of it for us, because we just want to have fun with art.”
On liking dominant guys in the bedroom: “I play a very dominant role in my life, in every aspect of it. And I like to feel like a lady still, at some point. I feel like that’s the time when a guy really gets to be a man, and I get to be a woman. And if I’m being a man in the bedroom too, there’s nothing really in it for me.”
On her friendship with Katy Perry: “All my friends are guys, to be completely honest. But when I met her, it was such a breath of fresh air. I just couldn’t believe this chick had no edit button….Katy and Lady Gaga came out of the gate exactly the way they think, the way they wanna dress, the way they wanna speak.”
AFGG wishes to thank Glamour Magazine for this piece.

Guest Blogger thefind.com Loves Kate Middleton's Skinny Jeans!

She may be a new addition to the royal family, but Kate Middleton has embraced her role as a fashion icon like a champ (along with her equally-fashionable sister Pippa)! From her beyond-elegant Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen wedding gown to the casual-chic travel looks she’s been sporting on her North American tour, she’s clearly the most effortlessly put-together princess around. Speaking of her tour, we can’t help but notice that Kate has just about retired the dresses altogether for her brief stint in Canada, instead opting to wear her J Brand Mid-Rise 811 Skinny Jeans three days in a row! Paired with simple Sebago Bala flats and a windbreaker, and even a ruffled blouse, blazer and espadrilles, in just three days Kate is able to demonstrate the true versatility of J Brand’s fan-favorite style, and at only $169, they’re a durable, designer pair that’s free of ostentatious labels or unnecessary detailing. I mean — hello! If they’re good enough for royalty, they’re sure as heck good enough for this celeb-spotting fashionista!

Skull-Enhanced Alexander McQueen Suede Platform Pumps

Sensational Suede: Skull-Enhanced Alexander McQueen Suede Platform Pumps A Literal “No Brainer”

Alexander McQueen’s signature skull embellishment is a badge of pride for McQueeniacs and a source of derision among fashionistas who don’t see the point or aesthetic of adding a skull to an otherwise beautiful pair of suede platform pumps. But isn’t that what you're all about, fashion wise? Aren’t you someone who enjoys being a bit of lightning rod for conversation (and perhaps other, more dangerous, things)?

If so, consider these vibrant blue suede pumps. They are decorated with gold-tone studs all along the bottom – a baroque adornment that recalls the classiest elements of burlesque.
Here are the specs for these Italian made pumps: they include a padded insole, leather lined insole, peep toe, and a self-covered heel that measures at 5.5 inches. (The covered platform is 1.25 inches, so these pumps really compare to a 4.25-inch heel.) 

It’s difficult when writing about blue suede shoes (or pumps) to avoid referencing Elvis. And this review is purposely steering clear of The King because we have far more important things to talk about. Namely, the look these pumps will create for you.

When you wear something that screams "bonsai!" -- like blue suede shoes with a skull to embellish -- you need personality to match the gear. Indeed, if you are a wallflower, someone who goes along with the crowd, or someone who lacks self-confidence and assertiveness, these pumps could make you look awkward.

On the other hand, if you truly do – deep in your soul – feel ready to rock out, have fun, and get a little crazy, step on up to the platform and take your place. Click the green link to indulge!Shoes & Handbags A Few Goody Gumdrops thanks Adam Harris for his edgy take on Mcqueen's Blue Suede Shoes! Maybe I can wear my grey Mcqueen skull scarf and red skull clutch with these shoes????

Lucky Winner of Truluxe Jeans with "Bling"

Vanessa from St. Ama, Louisiana is the lucky winner of the Truluxe  denim jeans. She won The Venice Bootcut in the dark wash for her daughter! What an amazing MOM!!!! These are the softest jeans you'll ever own. We know Vanessa's daughter will love her jeans!

TruLuxe jeans are all about the “bling”and bling is the signature of this line. “My goal was to design a collection of edgy jeans that had tasteful back pocket designs using studs, rhinestones, and embroideries along with cool washes that women could appreciate regardless of age and body type”, says Nancy Bolen. These jeans are a luxe staple that every fashionista can enjoy! The jeans have just enough stretch to maintain comfort without losing shape. A Few Goody Gumdrops wishes to thank Truluxe for this dazzling Giveaway!

Sexy Dresses to Wear for the Best Revenge from Guest Blogger Thefind.com

Whether you’ve been dumped, fired, or slighted by a friend make sure that those perpetrators of your sadness regret every single second of burdening you with it by flaunting your fantastic self in a manner that will make them wish that you were back in their arms, office, or circle. After all, getting them out of your life was most likely them doing you a favor, right? Though it may not look like it now, I guarantee that through time you’ll see it’s true and he newfound extra time with your girlfriends can never be a bad thing. So if you’re planning on running into that ex, boss, or frenemy, these three dresses below are fit for styling the nastiest vengeance for that very occasion. After all, revenge is dish best served cold…and preferably in stilettos: Halston Heritage One shouldered Dress, BCBG Max Azria Cocktail Dresses, and Elizabeth and James Dresses.

Pour La Victoire's Rebel Yell Bag!


If you love funky, functional and reasonably priced, we have just the bag for you and A Few Goody Gumdrops never leaves home without a great bag in tow. Pour La Victoire’s Rebel Yell Drawstring black leather bag is all that and more! When we first glanced at the bag we immediately thought of Alexander Wang's Diego Bucket Bag which is super cool but way too heavy to carry especially with the studding detail. The Rebel Yell, which resembles the Diego Bucket Bag, is amazingly light and easy to carry even with the studding detail.

What we loved about Pour La Victoire's Rebel Yell Drawstring bag was the great attention to detail. The bag has rows and rows of tonal studs making the detail very simple but ever-so trendy. The middle row of studs resemble bullets with the same detail repeated on the very long strap. The bag is so versatile that it can be carried as a shoulder bag or worn as a cross body bag. I guess you could say the bag is a little biker chic with an uptown appeal.

There are many compartments that you can barely see on the inside and outside of the bag for all your essentials. This "military inspired" bag serves as the perfect day to evening bag bullets and all! The bag looks best when the drawstrings are pulled in. Although the bag is medium sized, it is deep and holds a lot! The bumpy black leather gives the bag that comfy worn in look without looking old. Perfect bag to step out in and look ever-so cool.

This Saturday is one of my own most anticipated parties of the summer season. Two of my utterly fabulous and fashionable friends will be renting out one of the city’s most amazing bars and celebrating their birthdays together in an unabashedly shiny, glittery, and girly affair. What’s the birthday theme? Black, white, pink, and all kinds of sparkle! Now, a girl like me can never get enough sparkle. I absolutely love it. But it seems that finding something to wear with a sparkle tone can be a bit daunting and difficult. First, I don’t want to look like an enormous walking Christmas ornament during July, and second, I don’t want to look like an adult woman regressing into her princess-obsessed childhood years. So, what’s a girl to do? Thank you, Pink Princess Goddess, for the magical powers of the internet. In my moment of curiosity, panic, and planning, I found these adorable, and very sophisticated, glittery picks and might I say that they are all the sparkle, shine, and amazingness that I could long for this party weekend. If you’re headed to your own girly-glam event or love to be a shiny showstopper when the moment calls, you’ll love these beautiful blinging babies: Loxo Glitter Finish Jersey Dress, Tasha Glitter Embossed Metal Clutch, and Ivanka Trump Women Pinki Hidden Platform
