The entire world is watching the World Cup in Brazil. So if you haven’t seen any of the games yet, you’d best start watching now! The US is still in, but the UK and Spain are out! Oh – and Brazil is going to win!
If you are a soccer fan, then you have to know about the fabulous 2014 World Cup Brazil Collection from INSIDERS1! They have created a line of bags and cell phone covers, for men and women featuring photo collages flags of the participating nations, their national soccer emblem, and a soccer ball. The bags are all handmade in the Brooklyn Navy Yards.
