The Miche Handbag, One Bag With Multiple Personalities

This is one of the more fun items that I have gotten to try. The Miche handbag is a good quality bag that can be transformed in to a multitude of looks. The bag comes with a removable shell, so you can switch out shells to change the appearance of the bag.

The bag itself is good quality. It has a full zipper that snaps at one end so that the bag can fully open and expand. The shape is reminiscent of the older Kate Spade bags. The shells come in a variety of materials and have metal feet, giving the bag a high end look and feel.

Switching shells only takes a few seconds. Each shell is held on with credit card safe magnets, and changing just requires pulling the old one off and sticking the new one on. The shells stay in place very well and the look is attractive.

The site sells base bags in black and brown and a selection of shells. There are also some add on handle choice. I’m pretty hooked on my Miche bag and plan to pick up some more shells for it!

Contest! Win a C&C California for Burt’s Bee’s T-shirt in Size Medium

UPDATE: Congratulations to Nina on winning this contest. Nina, an email has been sent to you!

Here is your chance to win a great C&C California T-shirt, and you can even get three chances! Once here at Beauty and Fashion Tech, once at Girl Gloss, and yet another chance at the Vote for Natural site in the information below.

If you are not familiar with either Burt’s bees or C&C California, you should be.

Now, Burt’s Bees has teamed up with actress Julian Moore to give consumers the opportunity to cast their votes for natural personal care at Burt’s Bees’ Election Day in New York City and to win prizes such as a C&C California shirt. Here is the information that I was sent on the promotion:

Like many consumers, Burt’s Bees has always believed that natural ingredients are safer and more beneficial. The trouble is, it can take a lot of reading between the lines of labels to figure out what’s natural vs. synthetic. To help consumers find what they’re really looking for in a natural product, Burt’s Bees has worked closely with the Natural Products Association and other likeminded brands to develop a Natural Seal—a symbol that lets consumers know when products contain at least 95% natural ingredients. On Burt’s Bees’ Voting Day, a vote for natural is also a vote for the Natural Seal, helping make natural a clear choice after all.

To ensure that the best candidate comes out on top, “green” actress Julianne Moore will be on hand to cast the first vote for natural at the Burt’s Bees Voting Booth at Merchants’ Gate at Columbus Circle in NYC. Other NYC voters can learn more about ‘natural’, cast their vote and receive samples of Burt’s Bees products.

Most importantly, consumers across the America are invited to join Julianne and this movement, casting their votes for the natural at www.votefornatural.com, where they can also learn more about the movement as well as win prizes, including a limited-edition C&C California for Burt’s Bees T-Shirt. Each vote represents a conscious choice to use natural products over the potentially harmful synthetic alternatives as well as support for the new Natural Seal. A ‘vote’ for Natural lets the competition know that the public wants transparency in natural personal care.

You can also win one of the C&C California shirts on both Beauty and Fashion Tech and Girl Gloss! The one being given away here is size Medium.

How To Enter: Leave a comment before the end of Tuesday, September 23, stating why you appreciate or would like to try natural products, Burt’s Bees, or C&C California. You must answer one of those questions in order to be entered. Just saying “hi” won’t cut it! One entry per household please. Duplicate entries will be disqualified. On September 24, I will randomly select a winner, who will be notified here and by email. Failure to respond within 7 days will result in the prize being redrawn.

I will be out of town during much of this contest, so please don’t be alarmed if your entry doesn’t show up right away, I will likely be approving comments much slower than normal! Promotional/spam comments entries will be deleted per the comment policy. Please don’t use your website or product as your user name or include promotional or commercial links in the text, it violates the comment policy.

Good luck!
