eBay WTF of the Day: This is your purse on drugs.

Filed under: Handbags, Accessories


This purse is like a mental breakdown.Here's a big WTF from seller Davitcio: "SELDOM SEEN 1922 BEADED BAG BOX PURSE UNUSUAL." All in caps.

Seldom seen? We're never seen anything like it! It's kind of like someone wrote down all the ideas for purses they'd ever had, then took a lot of drugs, then ate the piece of paper, then dreamt an even crazier version of this purse, and then worked day and night while listening to a strange mix of Enya and Bob Marley. No, it's not "kind of" like that. It's exactly like that.

Will Renee and George's Leatherheads style influence you?

Filed under: Vintage and Retro, Celebrities with Style

Renee Zellweger and George Clooney have recently been riding the rails for their newest film, Leatherheads. The movie is set in the 1920s, and to go along with the theme, Renee and George have been arriving in dressed in period clothing for each stop on their whistle-stop train tour.

I have to admit, I'm a bit of a sucker for clothing from this period, period. Renee's wardrobe (shown here) is feminine and classy, and George ... well, George looks even more dapper than usual. Sorry, I indulged in a little daydream there. And it was nice.

Anyway, since this season is already showing a number of more conservative, 1960s-inspired styles, what's your opinion of going back a few extra decades?
