Harveys Carriage Large Satchel

Have I mentioned lately that celebrities get on my nerves? I mean, yeah, I read some of the rags, but it’s not because I’m a fangirl, or I want to be just like Angelina. I’d totally hop the fence for her, at least temporarily, but I don’t want to be her. Sure, sleeping with Brad Pitt would be awesome fun, or so Jennifer Aniston has said because she’s an oversharer. Don’t even get me started on that whiny baby. Anyway, yeah, there are things about Angelina’s life that kick ass. But the constant through all the movies and parties and other things that go along with being a big movie star is that she has six kids. Six. Kids. I can’t even contemplate one, let alone six. But at least she’s not out there whining about anything. No, she does charity work, and tries to help people and make the world a better place. Then there’s Justin Bieber. What is he, nine? Why is he even famous? I cannot figure it out. Last week, he threw a temper tantrum because of the photo of him People magazine chose to use for their cover. He said he was “laughing all crazy.” He took to Twitter to bitch about it, which isn’t all that unusual. Everyone uses Twitter to bitch about whatever, including me. But if your biggest problem, that you have to publicly complain about, is that People magazine used an unflattering photo of you on their cover, then you need to STFU. Oh, I’m sorry Justin. Did that embarrass you, seeing that big toothy grin in the checkout line? Gee, that’s too bad. But hey, it could have been worse. You could live in Haiti or China or Iceland. Oh, but earthquakes and volcanic eruptions don’t even begin to compare to the horror that is a goofy photo on the cover of one of the most widely read magazines in the entire freaking world. You poor thing. How do you get through the day? After it was reported that he had complained, he tweeted again that, ha ha, it was cool, and you have to be able to laugh at yourself, and he deleted the original whiny, fit-throwing tweet. Now if only there were a delete button on this little brat’s career. But I’m thinking Justin Bieber isn’t too Internet savvy because you know what? Good ol’ Google keeps a cache of, well, just about everything, including deleted tweets, so you can still see it here. “…let’s get on the same page”? Really? Wow, what the hell was People magazine doing before they had Justin Bieber to tell them how to manage their magazine? What does this have to do with the Harveys Carriage Large Satchel, or any handbag for that matter? Absolutely nothing. But if Justin “My Life Is So Hard” Bieber can complain about his stupid picture, then I can certainly use my blog to make fun of him for it, right? Right.

So aaaanywaaaay. Back to important stuff. Fashion! Handbags! Seatbelts! Seatbelts are important, but they’re even more fun when you’re carrying them as a handbag from Harveys Seatbelt Bags. They’ve come out with some new patterns and styles, so I thought I’d dedicate an entire post to them. You know, once I got the annoyance that is Justin Bieber out of my system. I’m loving this Harveys Satchel. The red is perfect for spring, and will transition right into summer. And that’s another great thing about Harveys handbags—you can carry them any time of year. Suede is more of a fall and winter material, and you wouldn’t carry a woven raffia or straw bag during those seasons, but the seatbelt material is good all year round. It’s sturdy, too, so these handbags last. In addition to the red, it’s also available in black and espresso. The satchel has dual short handles, and a detachable long shoulder strap, all of which attach to the bag with silver tone, logoed hardware. The platform bottom includes four metal feet to protect the bag when it’s set down, and the top zips securely closed. Inside is logoed fabric lining, boasting several slip pockets for small accessories. It’s big enough to hold all your little essentials, as well as larger items like magazines, say, People magazine, for example. Harveys Carriage Satchel is $228 at Zappos.com.

This is one of those newer designs I mentioned. Even with as many varieties, colors, and patterns as they’re available in, Harveys Seatbelt Bags aren’t the most feminine looking bags out there. They’re usually pretty boxy, and even in the most pastel pink, they look more utilitarian than fashionable for the sake of fashion. Now it looks as though they’re trying to remedy that with the Lola line by adding some very feminine ruffles, still made of seatbelts, and I’m really liking it. The Harveys Lola Convertible Clutch is just one example. The Lola comes in all shapes and sizes, and a few great colors, too. This rose is a nice, deep shade of pink, and would be perfect for a spring evening out. It’s a clutch, but it comes with a detachable, adjustable cross body strap, although I might avoid using it that way because that would just look way too much like a seatbelt, don’t you think? The top zips closed, and the logoed fabric interior provides a back wall zip pocket to carry money, ID, or your cell phone. The Lola clutch also comes in black and espresso, and it’s on sale. It’s usually $122, but you can get it now for just $86.30 at Zappos.com.

While it could double as a tiny clutch if you wanted to do that, the Harveys Make Up Pouch is perfect for carrying, well, makeup, or whatever other little essentials you need, whether on a daily basis or when traveling. I love the floral pattern, too. It’s called Betty Rose. Why don’t they put floral seatbelts in cars? Or pink ones? Better yet, why isn’t that an option you can choose to upgrade, like the power package or floor mats? I think it’d be fun to choose colored or patterned seatbelts for my car. Get a red car, and then seatbelts in this pattern to coordinate? Yeah! Too bad they wouldn’t be easily interchangeable, though. Oh, well. Anyway, even this little beauty has logoed lining inside, and it zips closed at the top to keep everything where you put it. It’s $58 at Endless.com. Hurry! There are only two left on the site!
