The Ultimate Purse Organizer & Jewelry Traveler

For a few years now, PurseN has been recognized for having taken purse organizers to a whole other level - practical and functional, yet stylish and fashionable. (PurseN oganizers are sold at zoeybloom.net)



PurseN organziers expand to fit larger bags, have tons of pockets and ridged sides that don't flop over. For those who like to change their handbags frequently, these organizers have handles to pull them out easily and insert them into different handbags. They are a godsend for owners of those bags where everything falls into a big pile in the bottom of your bag! While the fabrics and prints change seasonally, the basic style remains the same.

PurseN's latest design is the Tiara Vacationer Jewelry Traveler, and, in our opinion, it is already on its way to becoming even more popular than the organizer! With large see-through windows, you can pack even your large pieces of costume jewelry and easily identify your treasures to wear them out for the day or evening.




Inspired by origami, the sides fold in and overlap; each layer offers more protection for each jewelry item you enclose. The bottom windows snap out completely, and there is even a padded bar in the bottom to hold your rings securely. If you bring chunkier pieces, the bottom of the case can be expanded another inch so as not to overcrowd. At $48, the Tiara Vacationer makes a terrific gift.

The Tiara Vacationer is also available at Zoeybloom.net. We can't wait to see what PurseN comes up with next!

Hammitt Creates Handbag Collection for HBO's Hit Series, True Blood

With well over 7,000,000 likes on Facebook, it's safe to say that the hugely popular HBO series, True Blood, is going to be around for a while. It truly has a loyal following. When HBO went looking for a handbag company to design a unique and edgy collection inspired by the series, they found Hammitt Los Angeles. Handcrafted in the United States, and known for their rich Italian leathers and contemporary urban styling, Hammitt bags had already been featured in contemporary series like 90210, Entourage, Melrose Place & Gossip Girl.

Set to debut this fall, the "Hammitt for True BloodTM" handbag collection features five handbags, each is named after a different character on the show.


The “Sookie” is based on the main character, Sookie Stackhouse, played by Anna Paquin. Made of pleated dove grey suede, it is a ladylike frame bag made edgy with flat multi-colored rivets on the side gussets. It’s feminine and tough, very much like the Sookie character.

The “Eric” is based on the vampire sheriff, Eric Northman, played by Alexander Skarsgard. This is a crossbody bag and is simple, black, and, appropriately, accented with silver bullet-shaped studs and gold flat rivets on the sides.

The “Alcide,” is inspired by the resident werewolf, Alcide Herveaux. While its exterior of soft leather and faux fur reflects the softer side of the character’s good guy nature, the wolf image printed on the underside of the bag flap and the rivets on the handle reflects his underlying fierce side.


The “Lafayette,” is based on the character, Lafayette Reynolds, the flamboyant cook at Merlotte’s and drug dealer who sells “V” - vampire blood. Like the character, the handbag is flamboyant and fashionable. It features reflective studs, metallic leather with a stamped alligator pattern, alluding the Louisiana bayou and, as a nod to the V dealer, a V-shaped exterior pocket.



“Fangtasia” is a toast to the bar in Shreveport, Louisiana that serves as a hangout for vampires. This bag evokes the Goth nature of the bar with its black leather, rivets, and sexy corseted detailing on the front.

Each bag features a deep red lining printed with the True Blood logo. The bags start at $395 and can be pre-ordered at www.zoeybloom.net
