At Bag, Borrow or Steal you can have that designer handbag you’ve always wanted for as little as $19.95. Sounds too good to be true? Well it isn’t.

The concept is that you choose the bag you like, get it in the mail and return it when you’re tired of it. You can borrow as many bags as you like, and you even get a two week free trial!

If you are going to buy a new pair of jeans this season, let it be a studded one. It’s time to let your jeans stand out a little more. To save some money, dig in your closet for an old pair of jeans and buy some metal studs. These are easy to fasten with a hammer.

Put the studs around the pocket areas or down the legs. Make patterns like stars, flowers or what ever you feel like.

Down the street from where I live there’s this tiny little secondhand store run by two old ladies. It’s open just now and then, when the owner feels like it, which is usually once a week. When you’re in there it’s so small and full of old stuff everywhere that it’s crowded if there’s more than two people in there at the same time. Most of the stuff is in a huge pile on the floor, and in the back there’s a room filled with stuff several feet high that makes it impossible to get in. But even though, by the look of it, this shouldn’t be the best place for secondhand shopping, you can find the most amazing treasures.

My latest found was an amazing authentic snake skin clutch. I spotted it at once, and as usually the old ladies were in a good mood an gave me a good price. This is the best item I’ve found in a long time, so I was of course thrilled and thought I’d share it with you.

If you’re ever in Oslo, make sure to stop by at “Et Dukkehjem” in Markveien. At the moment it’s open on Mondays…
