NAVA'S OLIVE TREES

Born in the Mediterranean, Nava Zahavi says her 24K gold wrapped semi-precious stone jewelry is inspired by the olive trees, fresh soil, and sea she grew up around.

Nava’s collection is based on two lines: Reproductions of antique jewelry made with 14 Karat Rose gold and a more modern line enhanced by semi-precious stones. Go to www.navazahavi.com to see it all.

LADIES WHO LUNCH

With mouth-watering colors like buttercream, anise, oyster, caramello and rum raisin, fashionable, busy and budget-conscious women will love Lunch a la Mode 's bags and totes. The bags have everything you need to keep your lunch fresh and ready: Made from vegan and other leathers, the stylish bags have insulated and removable lunch pouches, a mesh ice pack pouch, a beverage holder and two reusable hot/cold packs to keep food warm or cold.

Designer and owner Amber Pollard created these handbags as an alternative to the unattractive paper shopping bags we all lug around every day.... you know what we’re talking about. Amber says the idea came to her one day after she noticed “how badly my clunky lunch bag clashed with my designer pumps.” Such a girly girl. The bags are already a hit with Perrey Reeves (Ari's wife on HBO's Entourage) and Melora Hardin (Jan on The Office); both carry their meals to the set in Lunch a la Mode bags. Prices range from $270 - $588, www.amberpollard.com.

MAN BAG

At Glamour Quotient magazine we're all about equal time, so we didn't shy away from telling you about the controversial Mantyhose trend (!). Well, in the name of equal opportunity, here's another product for the metrosexual in your life: Man bags. Although they've been around awhile, man bags are becoming more stylish than ever. Waterfield's Muzetto bags come in a variety of manly colors and can carry a laptop, phone, change, cards, keys and sunglasses...

The Laptop Size fits either a 13" or 15" Mac laptop; the smaller Personal Size is ideal for digital and non-digital basics—wallet, phone, iPod, and personal items. It's time to get rid of the bulge in your pants. www.sfbags.com
