We are proud to present a brand new handbag, hot off the press… The Ellen Allen Bag!

When you want to carry a bag that is a great value and be the first one on the block with one, check this out!

Wow, what a great look for Spring!

When handbag designer, Ellen Allen talks about her navy striped Murray Hill bag, she can hardly contain herself.  “It’s big, organized, and sleek.  It’s a sexy way to schlep.”  Ellen’s enthusiasm for this tote is warranted, considering her name is on the silver logo plate that has women all over Annapolis talking. As an interior designer and a parent of two young boys, Ellen found herself constantly looking for a multifunctional bag to suit her on-the-go lifestyle. But she wasn’t willing to sacrifice style. “It was most important for me to have a bag that was chic yet practical,” she said.  “Women have been choosing between fashion and practicality for years.  Why can’t we have both?”

You can’t go wrong with this festive roomy bag, that has a couture look at a fraction of the cost.

Best of all, you won’t be seeing yourself   coming and going.. this exclusive bag is new to the market! Either color just $180.00

Does your purse make you look like an old lady?

Here is a great fashion question from one of our readers: Dear Glam Gals, Wondering what handbags you would consider “old lady” and which would be considered more youthful…..thanks! L. C. Vandercook Hi L.C. We had fun looking for some good examples to share with you. Here are our Do’s and Don’ts

Example Don’t Do
This bag on the left is too stiff and old lady like, plus it’s boring beige.

See how the bag on the right is more relaxed and soft. That’s what you want. Soft is youthful and the color adds life! (Nordstroms)

You see these bags like this one the left all the time on older women. These bags look heavy and tired. Do you want to look heavy and tired too?

Try shiny black patent leather with white piping instead for a fresher, up to date look. (Black House White Market)

Patchwork may be in, but over 40,  sorry, it looks like you’ve taken up quilting.

Try a single bright pop of color with a classy touch of hardware for a  more powerful chic look. (Saks)

Red is always  cheery and can be sporty mixed with tan or brown, but this bag on the left has a boring shape making it look ho-hum.

Instead,try this cute one on the right. It’s got a less uptight shape, is also more matte, so more sporty and the tassels are a great stylish. Tally ho! (Nordstroms)

How to put some sexy French style into your wardrobe

It’s no secret that the Glam Gals adore and are inspired by anything French. We have both traveled the country extensively and find the allure of the French woman so fascinating with the way they always seem to to be sexy, sophisticated and effortlessly put together.

So when a  friend recommended a quick, light read called, All You Need to be Impossibly French by Helena Frith Powell, I (JoJami) ran out to get it.

What I enjoyed so much about this book was how the author, who happens to be English, delves deep into the mysterious realm of the day to day habits of the French woman and discovers some interesting wisdom and practical advice on how to achieve that ooh la la style with maximum effect with minimum effort.

Funny, honest and some shocking facts makes this book a good read.

Where is fashion designer Sigrid Olsen now?

Sigrid Olsen, artist/designer

If you’re over 40, chances are you’ve bought at least one item of clothing from designer Sigrid Olsen.

Last night, I (JoJami) had a chance to met up with Sigrid, who was one of the speakers at the Smart Talk Series in Wilmington, DE.

Olsen (age 55) said she started out in her career as an artist and morphed onto the fashion scene 25 years ago, heading up her name brand clothing empire. She designed for “real” women, using bright colors and simple classic designs that became her trademark.

However, a few years ago that all changed. With the economy sinking, Sigrid left her business to start fresh. “My company had become so large that I did not get to do what I loved to do, which is creative based.

“I ended up just being the head of my company and doing meetings all day. I had lost touch with my roots and doing  my passion which is art…. I am much happier now.”

So what does that “now” look like?

Olsen, who lives in Gloucester, MA, now runs a retail boutique, called ISLA Beach house, just a few steps down the road from her home, where she sells her sunny, beach-inspired art, pottery and other unique finds.

“I like to find new artists and help promote them”, she said with a twinkle in her eye.  She is obviously passionate about her new venture!

Not to be one to sit still, Sigrid, found Yoga soon after her “retirement” and now runs her Yoga/Art fusion retreats all over the world.

A self professed “doer” Sigrid Olsen is living her passion and thanks to her creativity we can now bring a piece of her colorful world into ours!

A cute story… Deborah tells me that back in around 2003 after having two babies two years apart, she was feeling rather frumpy. She went to Florida and discovered Sigrid Olsen in Burdines and bought a ton of her bright fun clothes.

Deb was so thrilled she even emailed Sigrid to tell her how happy her clothes made her feel, and what a perfect fit they were. Here’s Deb a couple of years later in those same Sigrid Olsen clothes that she wore and wore.

Doesn’t the robin’s egg blue and peach go beautifully with her Spring complexion?
