Right now is a fantastic time to shop at Nordstrom for a new handbag. Their Half Yearly Sale offers terrific bags at up to 50% off the retail price.

This large leather hobo from the MICHAEL Michael Kors line is a fabulous choice for everyday wear. It features contrasting accent stitching and silvertone handware. At 13 inches wide, this hobo bag is big enough to hold all your essentials. Inside, you'll find the MK logo print lining and several organizational pockets.

Regularly priced at $298.00, this MICHAEL Michael Kors hobo is now $149.90 (Buy Direct). It comes in luggage brown (pictured) or black.

Everyone seems to have a netbook these days. They are a portable, lightweight, easy way to stay connected when you are on the go. Though you can usually slip your netbook into a handbag or tote, you might also want a bag specifically designed to carry and protect your little computer.

Skooba Design has created a line of messenger bags that are perfect for carrying a netbook. These bags measure only about 14 inches wide, so they are less cumbersome than a traditional laptop bag. They are designed for netbooks with up to 10 inch screen size. What I love about Skooba bags is all their organizational pockets.

The Skooba Netbook Messenger Bag has 20 pockets and compartments, including the padded sleeve for the netbook, a mesh pouch for your power adapter, a pocket for your digital camera, and much more. There's even a place for your water bottle.

Priced at $49.95, these bags are both cute and durable. Created from water-repellent nylon, they are available in four colors -- black, white, red and blue. Visit the Skooba Design website to find more information. Do you have a netbook? I'm still using a somewhat bulky Sony VAIO laptop but think I might pick up a netbook soon.

If you are a fan of Tory Burch handbags, shoes, jewelry and other apparel, you'll be happy to know the debut Tory Burch Eyewear collection is now available online. The collection was inspired from style icons that include James Dean, Peter Fonda, Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway.

No matter what type of sunglasses you are looking for (from classic aviators to glamorous Jackie Os), you can find them in this cool collection. The line is available at Tory Burch boutiques, select department stores and now online at toryburch.com. Most Tory Burch eyewear is priced under $200.

Remember when selecting glasses and sunglasses, generally you should pick frames that are the opposite shape of your face. For example, round faces look fabulous in square frames.

Fashion designer Betsey Johnson is known for her colorful, fun fashions -- both for designing them and wearing them. This weekend, she made an appearance at her store at The Miracle Mile Shops in Planet Hollywood Las Vegas.

As expected, Betsey's outfit was bold and funky. Though most of us couldn't pull off this look -- it's Betsey Johnson! I love that she accessorizes her bright blue capri pants with a rather simple brown leather belt. Such a cool contrast.

No matter what you think of Betsey's wild taste in clothes, you have to love that she always seems to be having so much fun!
