Assisted Living group member DStirk is fed up with her current method of storing her purses and is having an organizing dilemma:

OK, I am totally embarrassed to post this picture, but I have a real big bag dilemma/disaster in my closet. I have quite a few purses and I have no idea how to store them. Right now they are in a pile, half in their sleeper sacks, half not. I tried putting them on shelves, but they just kept falling off. I'm not a fan of hanging them on hooks, because I don't want the handles on my nicer bags to get ruined. What do I do? Does anyone have any suggestions for handbag storage? We're remodeling, so please excuse the awful mess, but this is making me nuts and I need help fast!

Ah, the age-old handbag dilemma — I know it well and have a few simple fixes to try. To see what they are, just read more

Lifelike Pug Purse: Spoiled Sweet or Spoiled Rotten?

From what Molly tells me, Pug owners have a special love for their smooshies – after all we celebrate "Pug Sunday" here in San Francisco!

From what Molly tells me, Pug owners have a special love for their smooshies – after all we celebrate "Pug Sunday" here in San Francisco! I shouldn't be that surprised to see this breed as a bag, right? Well, as the designer, Jennifer Liu, explains, it's "all of the affection, none of the responsibility" with this dog purchase. Don't get me wrong, it's certainly way fancier than any dog I've seen – crystal paws and silk linings – and can be scooped up for under $50 . . . my only question is: Are you doing the scooping?
