Affordable Luxury. That’s the simple philosophy behind the Melie Bianco line. Founded in 2003 by Melissa and William, a husband and wife team, this wildly successful family-owned accessories company has always kept one thing in mind: bringing runway-inspired handbags to the everyday woman.

“I design bags to reflect the season’s trends, but within a budget of women like my sisters,” says Melissa who lives in Los Angeles, where her Melie Bianco line is headquartered. “Women—especially working women—want high-end handbags but at an affordable price.”

The small label began by garnering fans at local boutiques in LA. Word-of-mouth (and purse) grew to find devotees going crazy over stylish designs, top-notch construction and (the best part) prices that were a fraction of other handbags on the market. For handbag lovers shying away from animal-based products, Melie Bianco’s high-quality faux-leather materials were the perfect answer.

New online boutique, Eye Candy Buy Candy, offers women the latest fashion trends at economically smart prices. They carry everything from dresses to handbags and accessories, from exciting collections such as: BB Dakota, ARYN K., Collective Concepts, Divine Rights of Denim and Melie Bianco.

The inspiration for Eye Candy Buy Candy originated with the idea that exquisite style and quality is accessible to every woman, regardless of her income bracket. ECBC was established in January 2007 and launched its official retail website in September 2008. When asked about why she chose to sell on the internet, Bettina O’Neal, founder of Eye Candy Buy Candy, responded “Retailing online gives us access to a larger consumer base, and cuts down on the operating expenses of a traditional brick and mortar store. That translates into bigger savings for our clients! ECBC allows women to be fashion chameleons without breaking the bank!”

I love this trend -it's casual, summery and comfortable. It is literally the most effortless outfit to walk out of the house in, I mean, it requires even less effort than a T-shirt and jeans combo.

The hot new trend are bangles that fit everyone, and the bracelets by Alex and Ani are the ones to be seen wearing. These bracelets can be customized for a perfect fit. Celebrities love them! Vanessa Hudgens was seen wearing the Alex and Ani’s expandable wire bangle set at the 2009 MTV Movie Awards. Maybe these spiritual bracelets brought Vanessa peace and calm she needed to keep her composure while presenting the popcorn awards on stage. Jessica Simpson also loves wearing them during performances. You can steal Jessica’s look by mixing the gold and silver sets together. These stars and others also consider Alex and Ani bracelets a must-have because they are made out of eco-friendly materials. You can start “going green” by wearing the Om or Halo Star charms to wrap yourself in protection, beauty, and inspiration. What could be better than these stylish bangles that have symbolic meaning? These bangles are totally hot and fuse glamour with consciousness.

The styles are diversified so that each woman can show her
