Cinda Boomershine a native of Atlanta Georgia in 2000 launched Cinda B a creative and long lasting product into the luggage and accessories marketplace. What separates this line of goods from most others is that all the bags are machine washable! With bags and luggage at a premium Price it's great to know that these items can be tossed in the washing machine and be made new once again.

Cinda's design direction adds flair without being over the top and makes this line unique and attention grabbing. As for the cherry on the Sunday for this line, the price points range between $16 to $164. With a price like that what are you waiting for? More information can be found at www.cindab.com

Southern Proper mens wear





Traditionally when one thinks of the south, clothing might not be the first thing that comes to mind. Well the south has grown up and has gone proper with Southern Proper men's wear. Emilie Claire and Regan Elizabeth Hardy two ladies from the south, have created a sophisticated line for men which has an extended reach besides southern states. The Southern Proper line has styles that attract the north with crab and beach designs, think Massachusetts, Marlin fish for Florida, think Palm Beach.

The line is small and focused with ties, pocket squares and boxer shorts. As for the price points for the line it's under $150.00 depending on what your looking for. If your into the hunting aspect there is SP Sportsman which has designs such as shotguns, ducks and dogs.

Between the two lines Southern Proper offers something for everybody be it for hunting or a formal Saturday dinner. As well there will be a launch for the ladies with polo shirts very soon. We saw a black dog logo with pink touches which was right on direction with the company's vision. For more information on the line please visit www.southernproper.com

Oval Structured Vodka


Beginning in July of 2009 there's going to be a new vodka hitting store shelves and it's not your average vodka you've been drinking all these years. Oval positioned as "Vodka's Natural Evolution" goes through a different process than traditional vodka distillation. Prof. Valery Sorokin has patented an eleven day process that structures Oval, combining water and alcohol in a way that's different from a more traditional process. The process arranges the vodka so that water surrounds the spirit.

The packaging for Oval won a design award at the 2007 vodka festival. The clear glass is artfully blown into three symmetrical surfaces. We love the design due to fact that it's easy to grip the bottle. As for the taste it's quite smooth and we like the technology factor which has been incorporated into the process.

Bionda Castana Milano Spring 2009 Shoes



If diamonds are a girls best friend then a great pair of shoe might be a best friend forever. Bionda Castana, a relatively new shoe company based in Milano Italy has caught our attention for hot new shoes. Jennifer Portman and Natalia Barbieri co-designers of these great shoes are causing a ruckus within the fashion industry. The likes of Andre Leon Tally and Godfrey Deeny just to name a few have these ladies on their radar screens.

The spring collection has a rage for all occasions which consist of pumps, sandals, peep toes and booties. Whatever the situation is, there's a shoe to compliment any look be it formal or weekend relaxed. It is obvious that both ladies are following current shoe trends and are offering their versions to fulfill the marketplace. It seems the shoes are like their children giving them names such as Anoushka, Lyla, and Fifi to name a few. The entire line can be viewed at
