They are passionate, committed and courageous. They work long hours without much hope of fame or fortune. They believe in their cause and are united by a strong urge to serve the troops. These are the military bloggers who attended the 2009 milblog conference at the Westin Arlington Gateway hotel Friday and Saturday.Thanks for the puff piece, ma'am, but those goons in the MSM missed the most important blogger there: The Sniper. Overlooking the beloved, drunken lout who brings offensive military humor to the masses is a slap in the face to offensive bloggers everywhere (a sub-genre I'm working up to). This injustice will not stand. Oh, and they thought TSO was Paul Rieckhoff. But that's just funny.
Many milbloggers are former or current members of the armed forces; others are spouses and parents who are familiar with the issues and want the rest of America to understand their concerns. They come from all walks of life. Yet they share a camaraderie that is instant and infectious: If you are present, you immediately feel welcome.
Devi Kroell is known for her eponymous python metallic hobo bags which was a phenomena when she launch them in 2004. Believe or not Jessica Simpson actually put her on the map by wearing her bag and buying one in every color at 2,500 a pop(you do the math)! With her music and acting career going nowhere, I am sure we will see those bags on Ebay.
Austrian-born, New York based Devi Kroell introduce her fabulous exotic skins handbags in 2004 with much success. She expanded to gorgeous funky footwear in 2006 and now the designer unveil her first ready to wear collection in 2008. Talking about ambitious!
I absolutely looooove her collection because it's chic and sweet but yet funky at the same time. Being an accessory designer at first, Devi understands the importance of a stunning bag, necklace or shoes to take a simple ensemble to the next level. The color palette was fill with neutrals injected with a splash of fuchsia.
As soon as we get in one of Devi Kroell fabulous python bags at my store, they fly off the shelf within one day. I would rock every piece in this collection!
