Like the ENK shows at the Piers…we saw a lot of Spring 2011 merchandise this week at the Accessories Show at Javits Convention Center..
On a tip we saw a new exhibitor—a clever, gift-able----
MON MODE “Get Hooked:™ –is a solid, hefty---and weight holding (up to 25lbs) handbag purse hook that is beautifully made…packaged in a chic, elegant compact.
A patented swing hinge allows for a pivoting hook –able to hang ones’ pricey Birkins, for example, at various angles---
Apparently, other purse hooks on the market ---are limited in usefulness---and only fit under certain bar top/counter widths. MON MODE allows for different widths and table top access.

| Nice packaging |
ADDED PLUS: Customization and engraving/embossing available.
($58-$110)
Billed as “Elegant Lingerie For Your Feet” Trashy Toez™ (www.trashytoez.com)…is such a super idea---no wonder a busy mom of four (with a background in fashion, FYI) came up with it.
Left and right foot specific, the anatomically fitting stretchy lace---are blends between peds and anklets (socklets)…
... fashionable options for pump wearing gals who want something on their feet that are feminine and FUN---but not so bulky as to require new shoes- a half size up.

| Toe less coming soon |
Perfect for trouser wearing gals in conservative business settings…we used the pair we have----with statement making high heels--- that we wore with leggings and a sweater tunic top.
In the summer months…we like the idea of something between our feet and the sticky insoles of our footwear/sandals without constricting calf action, and the sagging potential of geeky looking socks ....
