Hi

I have the goldtone Juicy Couture charm bracelet and am always looking to add charms to my collection which I started about back in May of this year, 2009. I already have about 15 charms, but hate to have to pay the prices at Nordstrom, Saks, etc. Does anyone know of any good online sites that sell them cheaper? I only want real, authentic charms. Any help is MOST appreciated Thank you in advance for any help you can give me!!

I just thought I would share this info I received in an email from louisvuitton.com. Madonna will be in ads for Louis Vuitton's Spring-Summer campaign. Anyone who is a fan of Madonna might want to check out the upcoming magazines!

Gossip Girl's Leighton Meester Article courtesy of www.switched.com.

Leighton Meester is beautiful, successful, and, like all celebrities with an ounce of ambition, inseparable from her BlackBerry. These days, Meester can be seen personifying teen angst in the popular show 'Gossip Girl' where she plays Blair Waldorf, a young socialite with a healthy appetite for the spotlight.

Though primarily known for her aforementioned role, Meester has been around for years, having appeared in everything from 'CSI Miami' to last year's indie flick 'Flourish' and the just-releasted 'Remember the Daze,' in which she plays a -- surprise, surprise -- a high-school student. When she isn't on set or closing deals, she is recording music. Golly do we feel inadequate.

Okay, we get it, she is multi-talented and destined for greatness. There are, however, topics of extreme importance that must be discussed to realize the true depths of Leighton Meester. We tracked her down to find out what really makes her tick. And type.

What gadgets do you always bring with you to the set for down-time?

I bring my iPod and my BlackBerry. I listen to my iPod in my trailer while I'm getting my hair and makeup done.

What cell phone do you have right now and what do you love/hate about it?

I have a BlackBerry. I love it because I can get business done anywhere and anytime.

Who's the last person you sent a text message to and what was it about?

The last message I sent was to my friend, Jess about answering these questions!

Where do you go pretty much every time you get online?

I go to CNN.com....Boring!

What annoys you most about your iPod, cell phone, or laptop (or any other gadget)?

My cell phone doesn't get great service on both coasts, which is hard because I am constantly traveling back and forth from Los Angeles to New York.

Name one thing you wish your iPod/cellphone/laptop could do that it doesn't do now?

I wish my phone had a button on it that could unlock my car door, because I usually have it in my hand then anyway.

What upcoming gadget can you not wait to get your hands on?

A cell phone that gets great service on both coasts.

You're stranded on a desert island: What gadget do you bring?

If I were stranded on a desert island I would probably want a ham radio so that I could be rescued!

What's the most-played song or artist on your iPod?

Technically, the most played song is 'Girl from the North Country' by Bob Dylan.

BlackBerry, Sidekick, or Treo?

BlackBerry

Do you have or are you planning to get an iPhone?

No

What's the longest time you've ever spent playing a video game in one sitting and what game was it?

Recently, I have spent some long nights playing rock band.

Mac or PC?

Mac. Why not?

Trying really hard to have a baby? Trying really hard not to?

The nice, slightly intrusive folks at BabyCenter.com can aid your cause with the "Booty Caller," a free text-messaging service that tracks your menstrual cycle and lets you know when you're ovulating. Enter the date of your last period and your cell phone number, and you'll receive alerts letting you know when you're extra fertile, along with helpful, kind-of-icky tips. (Did you know that lube can impede conception? No? Now you do!)

Booty Caller subscriber Nancy Evers told the Seattle Times that both she and her husband use the service. After they get the texts, they message each other and "get all flirty" until they can be together. (The reporter from the Times lamented, "It would be nice if they remembered to have sex on their own.")

Clearly, the tool was designed for women who are trying to conceive, but we think it would be extra helpful for those of us who aren't. If you're trying to make babies, your text will be your signal to run home to your significant other for wild, unprotected sex. If you're not, it's a signal to lock the liquor cabinet and delete your ex's telephone number.

Perhaps in the future, the service can take more direct sex-inhibiting measures, like automatically texting your guy "We need to talk" and "I feel fat" before you get home.

Use caution, however: The Booty Caller doesn't account for changes in your cycle, and every woman's biology is different. So unless your ovaries run like a Swiss cuckoo clock, use more conventional scientific methods.

I had never been much of a coffee drinker until my trip to Hawaii last year. While I was there I discovered the delicious and rich flavors of Kona coffee, only available from the Hawaiian Islands. Since then, just the smell of fresh coffee beans or coffee brew makes my mouth water.

Coffee drinkers are a dedicated bunch. They set their automatic Cuisinart coffee maker to brew their morning coffee the same way they set their alarm to wake them up in the morning. Or they stop at their favorite coffee franchise, like Starbucks, every morning on their way to work.

I don't need too much caffeine in the morning, so I like to stick with my one cup coffee maker. Though I like my Keurig coffee maker, I thought it would be nice to try some other types of coffee. I decided to get some suggestions by looking at what kinds of coffee people are searching for on AOL Search.

For a special treat, I am excited to try some of the gourmet coffee that showed up on the top searched list. Number seven, Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee, has regional exclusivity like Kona coffee and a deliciously unique flavor. Gevalia Coffee carries a wide variety of gourmet flavors and roasts, including seasonal flavors. I was also interested in getting some green coffee beans and roasting my own coffee. What could be fresher?

If I need a cup of joe on the go, drive thru coffee, like Dunkin Donuts, is the fastest and I can get some breakfast. Green Mountain Coffee, number one on the list, is also great with food and is served at a lot of restaurants because they sell wholesale coffees.

Top 10 searches for coffees:
1. Green Mountain Coffee
2. Starbucks Coffee
3. Caribou Coffee
4. Gevalia Coffee
5. Peet's Coffee
6. Dunkin Donuts Coffee
7. Blue Mountain Coffee
8. Maxwell House Coffee
9. Folgers Coffee
10. Senseo Coffee

I am sure we all got one or two awesome gifts that are our faves. What was yours?

Purses are more than fashion accessories, they are like survival kits for women. Before we head out the door in the morning, we pack them with everything and anything we might need that day so we are never caught unprepared. They are useful and cute. It is the best of both worlds!

Like most women, I have purses in all different shapes, colors, sizes and styles to match all of my outfits. What is your favorite purse? Check out our list of top searched handbags to see which designers other women love to sport on their shoulder. Did your fave make the list?

The top searched handbag on our list has been around for over 65 years. The classic and sophisticated design of Coach purses make them a perennial favorite among fashionistas and style conservatives.

In contrast to the long standing reputation of Coach handbags, the next two bags on our list are new to the world of fashion. You may recognize these purses from their commercials on television. Miche bags allow you to change the outer shell of the bag while keeping the rest of the bag in tact. With all the different styles available, it is perfect for coordinating with daily ensembles, and you don't even have to switch your belongings from bag to bag. Number 3 is full of pockets and expandable pouches to help you stay organized. Also, Buxton bags are durable leather handbags and their thick straps make them healthy back purses too.

I always lust over designer handbags, but I can't always afford the ones I really want. So, if I don't have the cash, I just Bag, Borrow or Steal. No, I don't mean I take the bag illegally! It is a website that lets you rent designer purses like you would rent a DVD. Instead of splurging on a bag that could be out of style next season, you can model what is 'in' now and then trade it in for the next hot item.

What purses do you recommend we check out? Let us know! You can find more purses from AOL Shopping or search for handbags on AOL Search.
