Do You Have a Handbag Fetish? Here's How to Tell!

I have an addiction. Ok, ok, I'll be upfront. It's not the kind of addiction you might think. I'm not hooked on strong drink or nicotine, no. I'm hooked on handbags! My closet is overflowing with my collection of bags, which range in price and style from my thrift shop finds to my DKNY bags. I have hobo bags, satchel bags, evening bags, clutch purses, backpacks...I may be guilty of what you might call a handbag fetish.

*** Fashion Nugget *** Although it still happens in the West, women are beginning to learn that beautiful skin does not come at the end of a knife but with other more natural methods. The best thing about modern beauty care products other than their cost is the fact they are generally natural so cannot harm the person who is using them.

Oh man, I love'em all! I love the little sequined ones, and the big oversized ones. It takes me an hour just to figure out which purse I want to carry for the day. The handbag I choose must go well with my outfit and fit my mood. Some days I like my Louis Vuitton replica (sure, I might have a handbag fetish, but I'm still on a budget!), other days I carry my classic Etienne Aigner.

So you think you might have a handbag fetish? If so, don't despair! There are ways to fulfill your craving for purses without emptying your savings account. Ebay is an absolutely fantastic place to find a wide variety of handbags. I've seen genuine Prada, Gucci and Fendi bags there being sold at a fraction of the retail price.

You can also find novelty purses, like ones that look like stuffed animals or even women's bustiers, complete with corset lacing! There are purses that are handpainted by talented artists. You can even request to have a portrait of your pet painted on your bag. Oh, and let's not forget one of the most innovative types of handbags I've seen lately -- the photo purse! You can have any photograph you want emblazoned onto any style or size of handbag.

*** Fashion Nugget *** About wedding favors... If flowers do not appeal to you then why not give candy a try as an easy wedding favor because it is always popular even if not as original as you would like it to be. If you prefer, there is an even easier method to give candy which can also save money at the same time. All you require to make this successful is to use a large glass bowl and fill it with all your favorite candy for the guests to enjoy. To complete this idea, a small plain bag or carton can be left for each wedding guest to put their candy into. Of course this means that you won't have to wrap anything yourself but it should get the thumbs up from everyone.

I am glad to add, out of all the addictions I could suffer from, I'm happy that mine is a handbag fetish. I mean, what other fetish can provide you with a closetful of gorgeous bags to match your every whim? My husband doesn't really understand why I insist on spending so much of my hard earned money on new purses. I just smile and tell him, it's a girl thing!
