Handbag Buying Guide – All You Need to Know
A fashionable lady walks past you, smiling confidently, swinging her designer handbag. Do you feel a pang of longing? If you do, don't worry. You are not alone. Hand bags are one of the most popular fashion accessories in the market today. They are probably the most useful and long-serving of all accessories In fact, they are no longer considered mere fashion accessories. Handbags define your personality.
If you have been planning to look for handbags, then look no further! We have done extensive research and have all the information for you. Trendy, daily, leather, eco-friendly, gorgeous, rugged, jazzy, suave, compact and hold-all. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes and in a rainbow of colors. Just open your eyes and read through this guide before you open your purse-strings…
How to decide the type of handbag
You are not judged by how you carry yourself in public, anymore. You are judged by what you carry. So it is important to decide the type of handbag you want to buy. And it can be an overwhelming decision because you'd be spoilt for choice! There are three basic factors that have to be taken into consideration before you embark on a handbag-hunt. They are – body type, occasion and need.
Handbags according to body type
Most of us don't give enough importance to judging our body type before selecting the handbag. The handbag you carry can actually make you look thinner or fatter! The ground rule is that you choose a bag that is opposite to your body type. If you are tall and thin, select a bag that is rounded and soft, like a Hobo. If you are short and on the plumper side, choose a handbag that is angular and sleek.
Here's a list of body types and the handbags suitable for them.
Inverted triangle body type
Cross body, Hobo, Shoulderbag
Triangle body type
Satchel handbags
Rectangular body type
Satchel and Hobo handbags
Hour glass body type
Any handbag
Apple body type
Tote handbags
As every woman is unique, the above-mentioned suggestions cannot be generalized. You can choose your handbag in such a manner that would accentuate your personality. Dare to set a trend!
Tips to follow
- Choose a bag that will flatter your body type. Always choose a handbag that opposes your body type so that the effect can accentuate your favorable features and mask the not-so-noteworthy ones.
- Shoulder bags will draw attention to whatever part of the body they hit. A shoulder bag reaching the mid-torso will draw attention to your waistline.
- Ladies who have a big build generally avoid cross-body bags.
- It is better to try ling the bag in the shop and buy it only if it feels right.
- Never buy a handbag because of its fancy shape if it does not compliment your figure.
- Remember to buy a handbag that is suitable for your life style.
Handbags according to the Occasion
Handbags are very useful as they help us carry all necessary things with us even at a short notice. More importantly, perhaps, they are the easiest way for us to keep pace with changing trends. It is definitely far easier to buy a trendy handbag and match it with your existing clothes than to replace an entire wardrobe! It is obviously more economical.
Different occasions in our daily life demand different codes of dress, and consequently, different types of handbags. A busy executive may prefer to have a compact hand bag and a new mother would prefer a large bag with several compartments to accommodate her baby's necessities. If you are on an adventurous hike, you will need a rugged backpack and to attend a party, a wrist Clutch will be in order.
There are a number of types of handbags available and since it would be a difficult preposition to enumerate them all, we have selected the best and the most important handbags every woman would love to possess. Please check the list and take your pick!
Tote Bag
- Large rectangular/square bags with straps.
- Made of durable material. Long-lasting.
- Used as shopping or gym bag.
Hobo Bag
- Casual, crescent-shaped shoulder handbag.
- Made of soft leather or micro fiber.
- Medium and large sized.

- Decorated.
Crossbody Handbag
- Shoulder handbags with a long strap worn across the body.
- Convenient for commuters, shoppers.
They are usually sold with the handbags so that they can fit in well.
Tips for choosing your handbag
- Choose versatile colors. When you don't have the time, energy or resources to change your handbag with every outfit, get smart and buy a handbag in a neutral color like black, beige or brown. They will complement everything. You could also try skins, metallic colors or shades of white for a fresher look.
- If you are wearing jeans and a tee or a classic dark suit, you can contrast it with a handbag in bright orange, red or pink and grab the attention of all around you. It is good to have a bright colored handbag.
- If you are likely to carry a lot of things, it is better to buy a big Tote handbag than to tug along many small ones.
- Always choose a bag relative to your size. You must feel comfortable holding it. Your handbag must not weigh you down.
- If you plan to buy a handbag for work, choose one with top handles. It looks official and is good for day events too.
- For a sporty look, go for a cross body handbag. Avoid backpacks if you want to avoid backache!
- If you wish to buy a leather handbag, find out if it is finished (does not darken with water) or unfinished.
- Choose separate handbags for formal and informal events and select the materials accordingly.
- Look at the closure in a handbag. If you want to keep things secure, then make sure there is a zipper or a clasp.
- If you are planning to use the handbag for daily purpose, choose the one made of thick and durable material.
Tips for maintaining your handbag well
After spending valuable time and money on researching, selecting and finally buying the handbag of your dreams, it is time to get real! Handbags are usually so durable that we may not give enough importance to maintaining it. But wear and tear will eventually take the toll and it will show. A little care from the start will help a lot in keeping your handbag in pristine condition.
Here are a few suggestions.
- Use specific products to clean your handbags. It is a good idea to buy a 'Rain and Stain' spray and use it intermittently on your purse. This is especially useful if you are prone to spilling liquids on your handbag by accident. Make it a habit to rub down your handbag with this product once a week to remove stains from becoming permanent. This will also give a new shine to your handbag.
- When a handbag or a purse is not in use, it tends to cave in. So fill them with unused clothes or newspapers so they maintain their shape.
- When you bag your handbag, a dust bag is also given with it. Do not throw it away. This bag is useful to protect your purse or handbag when it is not in use. This will preserve the shine and luster, particularly if it is made of leather.
- Make sure you keep all your handbags on a flat ledge or a shelf. Hanging them in your wardrobe is a preferred option for many but this may weigh down your handbags after some time and put strain on the straps.
- Keep your handbags standing in an airy place. Do not crowd them into tight boxes.
- Leather handbags need particular care. Always keep them in cloth bag. It keeps away moisture. If you find any stains on the leather, do not try to clean it yourself but take it to the shop. Clean the outside of your bag with alcohol-free baby wipes.
- If your leather handbag does not have 'feet' on the base, you can have it made. This will protect the base from scratches and tear.
- To clean the interiors of your handbag, first empty out all pockets and gently shake out dirt and debris. Then pull the interior inside out and clean it with a brush. You can use the fabric-brush attachment of your vacuum cleaner.
- Never keep a pen without its cap.
- Store your make-up accessories in a separate pouch.
- Carry crackers and chocolates in sealed containers.
- NEVER carry water or juice unless they are in securely sealed containers.
The Designer Collection
While any new handbag is sure to make its owner ecstatic, a new handbag with a designer label is guaranteed to transport its owner into the realms of heaven! Owning a designer handbag can instantly transform you into a fashionista, exuding confidence and style. Handbags from designers like Herme`s, Fendi, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Coach, Christian Dior, Gucci and Prada are always on the list of trend-setters. They are classic models that have a timeless charm. They are often redesigned every year to compliment the current trend of fashion.
Beware! It is very easy to get cheated by fakes and look-alikes. Designer handbags are expensive. Period.
The thumb-rule is simple,
If it sounds too good to be true, it is not!
Just remember that every woman is unique. You can make magic by selecting a stylish handbag and creating an ensemble that would reflect the person you truly are. Happy handbag -hunting!

in Kelvingrove Park looking downstream. The river is on its bones
You can see the Giant Hogweed on the left hand bank. It is some size this year…
Looking upstream, as I stood here I noticed some small trout leaping out the water. I was surprised to see a reasonable flow through this section.
Hi Alistair, looks like we are all struggling with low water levels, this was my latest visit to my local Hampshire stream, where a few surprises were in store. http://www.urbanfieldsportsman.com/index.php/trout-river-desperate-for-a-drink/
Giant Hogweed!! Quick,which prog-rock band sang about it when they were good….We have that vile thing here in the Pacific NW….the blackberrys are worse,nothing will shred flesh and waders like them….good pies though…..

The same techniques that streamlined assembly lines in the auto industry can expedite receipt of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) for patients with an acute ischemic stroke, a single-center study showed.
After processes that were wasting time were identified and addressed, the median door-to-needle time fell from 60 to 39 minutes (P<0.0001), according to Jin-Moo Lee, MD, PhD, of Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, and colleagues.
In addition, the percentage of patients treated within the American Heart Association's Get With The Guidelines-Stroke goal of 60 minutes or less increased from 52% to 78% (P<0.0001), the researchers reported online in Stroke: Journal of the American Heart Association.
Action Points
- In this study, a multidisciplinary team analyzed the steps required to treat patients with acute ischemic stroke with intravenous tPA using value stream analysis. After identifying several protocol inefficiencies, a new protocol was instituted which incorporated changes to minimize delays.
- Institution of the new protocol resulted in reduced median door-to-needle time and an increase in the percentage of patients treated within the American Heart Association's Stroke goal of 60 minutes or less.
Earlier treatment with tPA has been associated with better outcomes following an acute ischemic stroke, and efforts have been made at centers around the country to reduce door-to-needle times. Most patients, however, do not receive tPA within an hour of arriving at the hospital.
Lee and colleagues used a process modeled after Toyota's automobile production lean manufacturing principles to identify ways to save time in getting patients with acute ischemic stroke from the door of the hospital to treatment with IV tPA.
A multidisciplinary team that included a lean engineer, neurologists, patient care and radiology technicians, and physicians, nurses, and a pharmacist from the emergency department evaluated existing protocols using a tool called value stream analysis to uncover time-wasting and time-saving steps.
They identified three areas that to be addressed:
- Patients were being brought by emergency medical services (EMS) personnel first to the trauma bay, then to the CT scanner, and then back to the room.
- Some tasks were being performed serially, rather than at the same time. Staff members were not being efficiently used.
- There were delays in waiting for laboratory results in patients suspected of or known to be taking anticoagulation.
The team changed the protocol to have EMS personnel bring the patient directly to the CT scanner and then to the patient room in the trauma bay.
Also, various staff members were assigned different tasks that could be completed at the same time. Emergency department and neurology residents were tasked with obtaining the brief history and assessing stroke severity using the NIH Stroke Scale. A pharmacist was brought in to calculate and prepare the tPA dose, and a social worker gathered witnesses in person or over the phone to allow physicians to determine the time of stroke onset.
And finally, the team implemented point-of-care testing of international normalized ratio.
To evaluate the impact of these changes, the researchers looked at data from 132 patients treated with IV tPA over a 26-month period before implementation and 87 treated over a 12-month period after implementation. Onset-to-arrival time and the percentage of patients arriving off-hours did not differ between the two time periods.
The shorter door-to-needle times seen after the protocol was streamlined were sustained throughout the year-long study period, even as the volume of patients treated with tPA increased.
Placing the head CT scan at the beginning of the protocol was identified as a significant predictor of shorter door-to-needle times (P<0.0001).
Longer onset-to-arrival times also were associated with a shorter time to treatment (P=0.035). That "has been found in several large intravenous tPA data sets and indicates an additional education opportunity to avoid 'exhausting' the tPA window when a patient arrives early," Lee and colleagues wrote.
Patient safety was not affected by the protocol changes, as there were no changes in symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage rate, discharge location, 90-day functional outcomes, length of hospital stay, or stroke mimic rate between the two time periods.
The authors acknowledged that the study was limited in that it was conducted at a single center with small patient numbers. It is also possible that time-dependent factors unrelated to the implemented changes could have influenced the results.
From the American Heart Association:
- Recommendations for the Implementation of Telemedicine Within Stroke Systems of Care
- Expansion of the Time Window for IV tPA Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke
- Interdisciplinary Care of the Acute Ischemic Stroke Patient
The study was supported by a Specialized Programs of Translational Research in Acute Stroke (SPOTRIAS) grant and by the Institute of Clinical and Translational Sciences at Washington University.
The authors reported that they had no conflicts of interest.

CHICAGO, Oct. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --Oce, a Canon Group Company and an international leader in digital document management, today announced an exciting collaboration that's playing a key role in helping to preserve one of America's most awe-inspiring wonderlands.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20101018/CG84120LOGO)
Oce has joined Michelin North America in supporting the Yellowstone Park Foundation, the official fund-raising partner of Yellowstone National Park. At the heart of the collaboration is the publication of the inaugural edition of "The Yellowstone Park Foundation's Official Guide to Yellowstone National Park."
More than a maker of tires, Michelin has also established itself as one of the world's foremost providers of travel guides. Yet the company had never produced a national park guide. So when Michelin approached the Foundation about producing the first official guide to Yellowstone National Park, the Foundation immediately recognized the tremendous potential. The only question that remained was how the nonprofit organization was going to fund its production.
"This Guide was an enormous opportunity to help spread the message of the Park, but we didn't quite know how we were going to be able to afford to produce it," says Tom Porter, corporate relations manager, Yellowstone Park Foundation. "A major hurdle was cleared for us when Oce stepped up and offered to print the Guide."
High Expectations, Impressive Results
Oce printed the Guide on the Oce ColorStream® 3000 series inkjet printing system with covers printed on the Canon imagePRESS® system. The resulting 106-page publication captures the magic of a visit to Yellowstone National Park through in-depth, carefully curated content that includes tours, time-maximizing itineraries, insider tips from park experts, and reliable recommendations for sightseeing and shopping, along with full color photos and maps of the park.
"Oce exceeded all of our expectations in terms of the quality of the printing, the quality of the paper, and ultimately what this guide would deliver in terms of its impression upon a visitor or a potential buyer that picks it up," says Porter. "It feels like a high-quality piece that's worth the price that's on the cover and that's worthy of the Michelin name."
"The Oce ColorStream 3000 series inkjet press was the ideal choice because its high-resolution, vivid full-color inkjet printing brings all the wonders of Yellowstone to life," said Kris Albee, Director, Product Marketing, Production Printing Systems division of Oce North America, a Canon Group company.
Attendees of Graph Expo can see a demonstration of the Guide being printed in the Canon booth #400. Limited quantities will be available for attendees to take home with them.
The Foundation expects to raise upwards of a quarter-million dollars from sales of the Guide's initial run of 100,000 copies. That kind of funding is crucial to preserving one of America's most beloved natural treasures for generations to come. The success of the venture also speaks to the larger message of how great things can be accomplished when public and private entities join forces to benefit the greater good.
"The Michelin Guide is a great example of what can be accomplished with a public/private partnership," says Porter. "It really embodies how we work by bringing in partners with expertise to work together for a common purpose, which is to help spread the message of protecting and preserving Yellowstone National Park."
The official fundraising partner organization to Yellowstone National Park since 1996, the Foundation has raised $65 million for over 200 projects in the last 15 years. In addition to donations from private individuals, the Foundation relies on corporate partners to help fund key projects that are not covered by federal appropriations. Since 2002, Canon USA has been a proud partner of the Foundation, contributing millions of dollars to aid in the preservation of endangered wildlife. Through its Eyes on Yellowstone program, Canon also provides the web cam and supportive technology that makes it possible to feature live streaming video of Old Faithful, allowing millions of people to experience the wonders of Yellowstone.
"The Yellowstone Park Foundation's Official Guide to Yellowstone National Park" can be ordered at http://www.shopmichelin.com or purchased on-site at the park.
About the Yellowstone Park Foundation
The nonprofit Yellowstone Park Foundation (www.ypf.org) has been Yellowstone National Park's official fundraising partner organization since 1996. The foundation works in cooperation with the National Park Service to fund projects and programs that protect, preserve and enhance the natural and cultural resources and the visitor experience of Yellowstone. The foundation receives no annual government funding; it relies instead upon generous contributions from private citizens, foundations and corporations to help ensure that Yellowstone's great gifts to the world will never diminish.

KHAIN Mackey's 275 radial-equipped HR Holden is one of the pioneer cars of radial racing. The car, formerly powered by a single-turbo small-block Chev, seemed to be on a personal-best mission each time it went out. It wasn't backed with a high-dollar race team or a bunch of sponsors barrelling cash and product into it, just one bloke with a passion.
With the new upgrades, Khain is looking at running low sevens and close to 200mph with his leaf spring Holden
A couple of years ago Khain pulled the car out of racing for a bit of a revamp, having run a 7.65 at a staggering 186mph – this was on a stock leaf-spring Holden chassis with a nine-inch, CalTrac bars and a set of QA1 coil-overs!
The initial plan was to upgrade the 400ci engine. Originally built by Allan Farrer, it wasn't really a big-ticket item, with a Little M block, Eagle steel crank, GRP alloy rods and a set of Racer Pro 23-degree heads, but it had been showing 1800hp in the car. "I hadn't planned to step it up," Khain says of the engine overhaul, "but I broke the turbo on 32lb of boost and a mate had a set of turbos going at the right price."
When we featured Khain's HR back in SM December '06, it was running a single T76 Garrett with a blow through carb and a dry-ice intercooler
Speedfast Garage in Penrith completed nearly all the fabrication upgrades. The first job was to get the two big GT47 88mm turbos mounted in the engine bay; it was a big squeeze to get the four-into-one headers with 17/8-inch pipe and three-inch collectors to coexist with the massive turbos. A set of twin 60mm HKS wastegates hang off the turbo exhaust plumbing, with four-inch alloy dump pipes off the back of the turbos.
Some of the engine bay sheet metal has been lost in the process – as has the radiator. Instead there's a boot-mounted 20-litre tank with a Meziere electric water pump and twin –10 lines front to back. The tank is also fitted with the transmission cooler, and Khain has the option of filling this with ice before each run.
Now Khain's HR sports a pair of 88mm snails, no 'cooler and mechanical methanol injection
Unlike most big-horsepower deals these days, the car does not run EFI; Khain has stuck with mechanical fuel injection, and there are 16 nozzles plumbed into a Super Victor manifold with a Wilson 95-degree elbow. A 20-litre front header tank feeds an Enderle belt-driven fuel pump, and Khain reckons he hasn't touched the tune since it has been in the car. "The system is good for around 32lb of boost," he says, "but once I get beyond this point I'm going to need to start upgrading."
A single-channel Innovate air/fuel sensor monitors one bank of the exhaust, and while the dash display is a Racepak, the logger is a basic Innovate LM-1 system that has worked faultlessly. It does allow the monitoring of extra channels though, like air and fuel, rpm, CO2 (through the boost controller) and boost.
The ignition system is an MSD Digi 7 piggybacked with an MSD 8, and Khain has added the twin-coil option that runs via a Mallory splitter to the distributor.
With everything sorted, it's time to see how this new deal performs. "I'm going to take the car to a few street meets for some light testing," Khain says. "I will start on 28lb and see how it goes."
It will be interesting to see how the power is delivered through the twin turbos compared to the previous big single; after all, radial success is all about power delivery.
For a mid-seven secon car, it's pretty basic inside. Apart from a Racepak dash and Innovate LM-1 AF meter, it's distinctly low tech
"While I've added a turbo, I've removed some weight from the front and added it to the rear," Khain says. "I haven't had the car near a set of scales for a while so I'm not sure what the weight split will be from front to rear.
"I'd like to think the car will run into the 7.20s and mid-190mph."
