Almost Xmas :)

"Holidays parties are a big deal, for most of us. Good taste is a must & you know for sure it will be remembered the rest of the upcoming year, specially by your boss' wife. It is that time of the season where we push ourselves to diet at least for 3 weeks prior the big day, just to make sure we look better than the new/young (we all have one of those at the office) co. assistant."
Miego features this 'I'm so for expensive Xmas dinner' Kimono fashion handbag, unique and fashionable. This Kimono fashion handbag is designed by 2 New York artists. Envisioned in the finest ultra suede and leatherette imbued in an array of vivid hues. Zipper closure secures contents. Inside zip pocket provides additional organization. Available in 3 colors (Black, Red and Tan). Size: 12"h x 8.5"w x 4"d. $64.00

The Soul to Soul Service T-Shirt - After I read Memoirs of a Geisha, I wanted to be a geisha. They’re so beautiful and every man loves them.
