Accessorize your Accessories

I have always ascribed to the notion that fashion is fun.  Nothing says fun like playing with color, texture and shapes in the form of a bag charm or key chain.  Yeah I'm talking about the latest trend; accessories for your accessories.  Not only is it a way to express the fun side of your personality, but it's economical too.  For many, the idea of spending thousands of dollars on a pink fox fur handbag seems out of reach but an affordable colorful leather bear key chain hanging from your tote is totally doable.
