Can't you just picture the titian-haired sleuth: smiling, her suspicions in careful check, as she links her arm into that of the dashing Ned Nickerson, secure in the knowledge that safe inside her fabulous evening bag lies the key that will reveal all? Who doesn't love Nancy Drew? This excellent and bookish evening bag allows you to tote around a cell-phone and lipstick, while gently reminding you about one girl who was always prepared. Let's be honest though, the perfect item to keep in this little carry-some is a paperback copy from this teen detective's considerable library.

How else would someone know that the paintings with the scarlet slippers are hiding smuggled jewels? Maybe I'm too picky, but I am still obsessed with Nancy, as evidenced by my book, "Nancy Drew's Guide to Life." Posted: 9:21 am on July 1st
