La Poe Also Makes House Calls

Let’s say you’ve invited 5 of your closest friends over for coffee and catching up (which might also include a small dose of gossip). You don’t want there to be a lull, and you don’t want them sitting on your couch staring at the television either. You’re not so sure you want to organize any games, leaving that to bridal and baby showers… so what else is there?

I have concluded that in these times of electronic mail, automated customer service and text messaging, a bit more human contact would do the world some good. If, for example, you arranged for La Poe to be available at your intimate gathering, it would allow you and your guests not only to be more interactive, but also fashionable, and earth conscious as well. Imagine creating all of that peace and love in your home with your chums in awe of your cleverness.

I suspect you wouldn’t compare La Poe’s presence to candle parties; naughty parties or even Mary Kay. There is no multi-level marketing to recruit you or your guests. Simply, a small company with incomparable deals on the earth-wise fashion accessories you hang on your shoulder and carry under your arm. Because lets be honest, just because you call a part, “a party,” doesn’t make it a party. La Poe doesn’t party… It does house calls.

No White Christmas For Me! Thank You.

There are 21 days left until Christmas, and I’m down here in sunny Southern California, where it occasionally hails, but almost never snows, looking over pictures of Leukerbad in Switzerland.

Looking at the pristine snowy white Alps as the backdrop of this resort, reminds me that I’ve never dreamed of a white Christmas. As a matter of fact, I remember one year, I decided that my Christmas wrapping paper would be a palm tree covered roll of paper I bought from step-sister’s school fundraising catalog. Now is the time that I wish I had a six foot plastic palm tree I could cover in Christmas lights - my own interpretation of a Southern Cali Christmas.

I was invited to a Christmas party today and I don’t have a thing to wear. Well, maybe I have something, but I kind of like acting like I don’t. It gives me a guilt-free reason to shop for myself during the holidays. Although, I must say, that my guilt is feeling lighter and lighter as the years pass.

Being the Santa party season and all, I thought I’d share my La Poe (www.lapoebags.info) pick for a handbag that would look great at any Christmas shindig. I’ve picked the white beaded evening clutch, because whether you’re ankle deep in snow, or have almost forgotten what snow looks like (like me), it still translates to “winter holidays.”
