Basics of Buying a Good Designer Bag

If diamonds are a girl’s best friends then, bags are surely her good friends. There is indispensable part of femme fashion. Carrying the right bag adds up to the grace of an attire. And more so with the designer bags. They offer quality, fashion, and a brand value. The price of these bags are $3000 depending on the size and brand, however they are worth shelling out a few bucks. These bags are available online, and often you will find them at discount rates. Finding good deals on designer bags is not an impossible task to accomplish. First and foremost, you should know the stores in your town that sell designer bags. Such stores often offer rebates on bags in the sales season. So all you need to do is to make a few phone calls to know the discount rates and hop in to buy them. Besides this, you can also browse the online stores. These stores don’t look for sales season; they can give rebates at any time of the year so stay in touch with them to get the best deal. Well, you might be thinking should designer bags be bought and used. Are they worth? Well, commodities are in the market for a purchase. So these bags are no exceptions. But like making other buys, the buyer should make the necessary checks while purchasing the bag. First and foremost, check the clasps and the buckles. Ensure they are working smoothly. Thoroughly examine the zippers, inside and out. These are the parts that are most vulnerable to defect. Last but not the least is the stitching. Look for hanging threads or joints ripped open. Well, are second had designer bags worth buying? Nothing wrong with it, if the bag is in good condition and the deducted price is pretty reasonable. But always be careful of people who try to pass of counterfeit second hand bags as the genuine ones. Again the check the interior of these bags. Often makeup stuffs that is stored in the bags make stains. Pens, clips or other pointed materials often make holes and rips. But then how to spot fake designer bags? There are certain factors that you should check. Firstly, see where the bag is made. Remember, these bags are high quality and special items that are not manufactured in masses. So if the tag shows the name of a place, which is generally known for products of mass manufacturing, avoid buying it. Secondly, check the price. If the price is too below the average price of such bags, then the product could be fake one. Again, look at the store who is selling the bag. Just any shop round the corner will not sell such bags. It should be a high end one. You can always check with other customers about the credibility of the store. Incase, you are shopping online, take a look of the customer-feedback page. The secret to buy a great designer bag is to have know-how of where to look for it, what is the price to expect.

Where are your favorite places to be silent?

If there wasn't already enough evidence, here is why I am a terrible person:

I left the gym last night and went to Wholefoods to get a salad. (shit, is that evidence of me being terrible already? There's more, really) I had taken a pretty intense aerobic workout class, so I was still a bit winded. Anyway, I walk in and I see this little boy, maybe 7 or 8 years old in a wheelchair. As I get closer to him (he's between me and the salad bar, that little FUCK) I notice his tshirt. I'm about 6 feet away when I realize it says "I DO MY OWN STUNTS" A fucking crippled kid in a wheelchair wearing a shirt that says I do my own stunts. I can't help myself and just start laughing uncontrollable, which, due to the windedness of my respiratory system turns into uncontrollable coughing. I know I'm terrible, but what parent puts their crippled kid in that shirt?

Hi! Happy Wednesday.

p.s. my birthday is in a week and if you plan accordingly I'll bake you cookies.

Where was the last place you forgot your manners?

Chris Thile vs. Robert Pattinson

There comes a time when men must be men: I hereby challenge that vampire dude to a bite/mandolin-off. Whatcha say, Robbie? Thile kicks off a fierce Brilliancy, but what's this? Pattinson takes a chaw out of the fingerboard at the 4th fret...no more C#s or G#s! But only in first position on the A and E strings!! Thile takes advantage of the oversight and begins jumping the octave where necessary... ...unphased, Pattinson shoots one of his pattinted "I'm dangerous but sensitive" looks at Thile, who promptly vomits all over his mandolin! Gasping for air, Thile tries to counter with his infamous "I'm trying to look sexy in a Nickel Creek music video" face! Pattinson vomits... ...but so does Thile!! "HOW COULD ANYONE HAVE LET ME LOOK LIKE THAT IN PUBLIC!!!" he wails. Moved, Pattinson tries to console him... IT'S A TRICK!! Thile wallops Pattinson with the business end of #75316, sending a pair of fangs and shards of wood sailing across the room! My God!! The violent dismissal of the fake fangs have revealed (oh yeah...dig that sick Linkin Park jam revving up in the background)... We interrupt this feed to bring you an important announcement from its beleaguered editor: The last "have" should've been "has." I'm sorry. "OK, cue the Linkin Park." "Ah, c'mon...really?" "Damn it, Figgins, do as your told! Nothing says darkness like mall rock." And we're back! ...ACTUAL FANGS (or perhaps just slightly pointy lateral incisors. Let's go with fangs, shall we?)!! Pattinson is a vampire FOR REALS!! His Loar somewhere between mandolin and sawdust, Thile has nothing with which to combat the hissing, snarling, and mega-pissed Pattinson... ..except a bloodcurdling solo a cappella rendition of "Young," one of the more gruesome skeletons rattling around in Thile's musical closet! Pattinson's hisses and snarls turn to screams that make those of the damned sound like postcoital sighs..."NOOOOO!! The lyrics are SO BAD!" "Haha!!" Thile cackles, now scatting the riff he wrote 10 years ago whilst apparently under the impression that he was trying out for Petra. The thought of vampiric life eternal in a world where such abuse of music is tolerated - nay, rewarded - is more than Pattinson can bear! Desperate to save himself from Thile's aural assault by any means necessary, Pattinson grabs the severed headstock of the Loar-cum-club... In the blink of an eye, Pattinson fang-fashions its point into a spear, and with inhuman strength drives it clean through his black heart! "Young and with n--" Thile finally falls silent, and not a moment too soon. Another word and his soul would surely have been lost forever! With Pattinson vanquished, he's free to be told he looks like the older brother from Malcom In the Middle again. Victory, but at what cost? The End.

My biggest problem with quidditch is this:

If the Snitch is worth 150 points, why does anybody ever bother with the Quaffle?

Which vulgar behaviors are occasionally acceptable?

"Everybody ________."

I have to repost this because she is so fuckin right.

Random thoughts from people our age… 1. I wish Google Maps had an “Avoid Ghetto” routing option.2. More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think about is that I can’t wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own story that’s not only better, but also more directly involves me.3. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong.4. I don’t understand the purpose of the line, “I don’t need to drink to have fun.” Great, no one does. But why start a fire with flint and sticks when they’ve invented the lighter?5. Have you ever been walking down the street and realized that you’re going in the complete opposite direction of where you are supposed to be going? But instead of just turning a 180 and walking back in the direction from which you came, you have to first do something like check your watch or phone or make a grand arm gesture and mutter to yourself to ensure that no one in the surrounding area thinks you’re crazy by randomly switching directions on the sidewalk.6. That’s enough, Nickelback.7. I totally take back all those times I didn’t want to nap when I was younger.8. Is it just me, or are 80% of the people in the “people you may know” feature on Facebook people that I do know, but I deliberately choose not to be friends with?9. Do you remember when you were a kid, playing Nintendo and it wouldn’t work? You take the cartridge out, blow in it and that would magically fix the problem. Every kid in America did that, but how did we all know how to fix the problem? There was no internet or message boards or FAQ’s. We just figured it out. Today’s kids are soft.10. There is a great need for sarcasm font.11. Sometimes, I’ll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and suddenly realize I had no idea what the f was going on when I first saw it.12. I think everyone has a movie that they love so much, it actually becomes stressful to watch it with other people. I’ll end up wasting 90 minutes shiftily glancing around to confirm that everyone’s laughing at the right parts, then making sure I laugh just a little bit harder (and a millisecond earlier) to prove that I’m still the only one who really, really gets it.13. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?14. I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.15. I think part of a best friend’s job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.16. The only time I look forward to a red light is when I’m trying to finish a text.17. A recent study has shown that playing beer pong contributes to the spread of mono and the flu. Yeah, if you suck at it.18. Was learning cursive really necessary?19. Lol has gone from meaning, “laugh out loud” to “I have nothing else to say”.20. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.21. Answering the same letter three times or more in a row on a Scantron test is absolutely petrifying.22. My brother’s Municipal League baseball team is named the Stepdads. Seeing as none of the guys on the team are actual stepdads, I inquired about the name. He explained, “Cuz we beat you, and you hate us.” Classy, bro.23. Whenever someone says “I’m not book smart, but I’m street smart”, all I hear is “I’m not real smart, but I’m imaginary smart”.24. How many times is it appropriate to say “What?” before you just nod and smile because you still didn’t hear what they said?25. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars teams up to prevent a dick from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers!26. Every time I have to spell a word over the phone using ‘as in’ examples, I will undoubtedly draw a blank and sound like a complete idiot. Today I had to spell my boss’s last name to an attorney and said “Yes that’s G as in…(10 second lapse)..ummm…Goonies”27. What would happen if I hired two private investigators to follow each other?28. While driving yesterday I saw a banana peel in the road and instinctively swerved to avoid it…thanks Mario Kart.29. MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.30. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.31. I find it hard to believe there are actually people who get in the shower first and THEN turn on the water.32. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.33. I would like to officially coin the phrase ‘catching the swine flu’ to be used as a way to make fun of a friend for hooking up with an overweight woman. Example: “Dave caught the swine flu last night.”34. I can’t remember the last time I wasn’t at least kind of tired.35. Bad decisions make good stories36. Whenever I’m Facebook stalking someone and I find out that their profile is public I feel like a kid on Christmas morning who just got the Red Ryder BB gun that I always wanted. 546 pictures? Don’t mind if I do!37. Is it just me or do high school girls get sluttier & sluttier every year?38. If Carmen San Diego and Waldo ever got together, their offspring would probably just be completely invisible.39. Why is it that during an ice-breaker, when the whole room has to go around and say their name and where they are from, I get so incredibly nervous? Like I know my name, I know where I’m from, this shouldn’t be a problem….40. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you’ve made up your mind that you just aren’t doing anything productive for the rest of the day.41. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after DVDs? I don’t want to have to restart my collection.42. There’s no worse feeling than that millisecond you’re sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.43. I’m always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten page research paper that I swear I did not make any changes to.44. “Do not machine wash or tumble dry” means I will never wash this ever.45. I hate being the one with the remote in a room full of people watching TV.. There’s so much pressure. ‘I love this show, but will they judge me if I keep it on? I bet everyone is wishing we weren’t watching this. It’s only a matter of time before they all get up and leave the room. Will we still be friends after this?’46. I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Dammit!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What’d you do after I didn’t answer? Drop the phone and run away?47. I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.48. When I meet a new girl, I’m terrified of mentioning something she hasn’t already told me but that I have learned from some light internet stalking.49. I like all of the music in my iTunes, except when it’s on shuffle, then I like about one in every fifteen songs in my iTunes.50. Why is a school zone 20 mph? That seems like the optimal cruising speed for pedophiles…51. As a driver I hate pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I hate drivers, but no matter what the mode of transportation, I always hate cyclists.52. Sometimes I’ll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.53. It should probably be called Unplanned Parenthood.54. I keep some people’s phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.55. Even if I knew your social security number, I wouldn’t know what do to with it.56. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, hitting the G-spot, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey – but I’d bet my ass everyone can find and push the Snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time every time…57. My 4-year old son asked me in the car the other day “Dad what would happen if you ran over a ninja?” How the hell do I respond to that?58. It really pisses me off when I want to read a story on CNN.com and the link takes me to a video instead of text.59. I wonder if cops ever get pissed off at the fact that everyone they drive behind obeys the speed limit.60. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.61. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lites than Kay.62. The other night I ordered takeout, and when I looked in the bag, saw they had included four sets of plastic silverware. In other words, someone at the restaurant packed my order, took a second to think about it, and then estimated that there must be at least four people eating to require such a large amount of food. Too bad I was eating by myself. There’s nothing like being made to feel like a fat bastard before dinner
