Clutch[bagg]ing at straws

It's nice to know that even on the slowest of news days you can find someone with their finger on the pulse. In the latest issue of the ever-topical Just!, editor Anu Saagim talks about things that really matter...

In America, expensive luxury items have been part of the everyday scene for years, as have ladies flitting about with designer bags costing thousands of dollars. More and more of Estonia's beautiful women dream of the cool luxury brands and designer clothes worn by their idols Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie in glossy magazines.

I don't mind at all if you call me a bag freak. I prefer to buy expensive bags than brand-name clothes. I wear the same cocktail dress once, twice at most, so it would be pointless to spend a huge amount of money on them. But I can carry around an expensive Gucci or Chloé slouch bag for years without ever getting bored of it. Some people think my lust for luxury designer bags is sick. And it is, given how expensive a hobby it is.
But when you're buying stuff like this, you have to bear in mind that true classics never go out of style. They go with any outfit, whether you're at work or at a party, and they bring a little bit of luxury to even the greyest of ordinary days. Go for luxury!

I think there's something in that for all of us.

Don’t mess with a woman’s purse. I just ran into a website about Estonia the other day - it is a Documentary about Estonia's Singing Revolution:

I like the way you add a brief comment about the article in question and then add your link to the website - so classy.
