Gucci Leather 1973 Small Shoulder Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

The Gucci Leather 1973 Small Shoulder Bag is smart and chic resurrection.

Available in Black or Olive (shown), this little 7"W X 5"H X 2¼"D bag is a perfect companion for shopping, dining or a night on the town. The oval GG logo and chain in goldtone hardware keep it dressy -- don't wear anything too casual with it, or people may think that it's from 1973.

Not that there's anything wrong with 1973 ... Dark Side of the Moon was released, the first cell phone call was made, and "Piano Man" played on the radio in November. Still, when you shell out for a brand new Gucci bag, you don't want it to look like a hand-me-down. Wearing a retro look can be tough to pull off -- this bag is only for the qualified.

With the right outfit and the right attitude? It's divine.

The Gucci Leather 1973 Small Shoulder Bag is available from Saks Fifth Avenue for $760.00.

to22 Says No Martini Without an Olive!

Don't take olives in your martini? Well then this is definitely not the glass for you, because this martini glass by to22 can't do without at least one olive. When designing this glass the thought was that "the olive has become the signature element of a martini, and yet it is treated almost as an afterthought."
Now when to22 went to give the olive greater importance they weren't messing around! The olive is so important to a drink in this glass that you can't have one without it, literally. The olive is used to plug a hole in the bottom of the glass.

Great idea and I love it! But I will say this: this is not a glass I'll hold over my lap or walk around with...you know, just in case.

Adopt An Olive Tree

Here's a great chance to both do something great for the environment and get something fun to show for it: adopt yourself an olive tree! Nudo, an olive grove in Italy, is offering people the chance to support small scale artisanal farming (instead of the large mechanized operations that damage the earth) by adopting a specific olive tree. And when you adopt an olive tree in the grove for one year not only do you get the satisfaction from the environmental effort, but you also get all the produce from your tree. You'll get a Spring Package with the olive oil from your tree, and then an Autumn Package of more olive oil and some handmade olive oil soap. $130/year.
