In my Cosmetic Bag!

Yesterday I noticed women pulling out horrible compacts and further noticed the horrible cosmetic bag they were coming from. As promised today I'm going to talk about what should be the fab cosmetic bag! Notice I said "should be". I saw women carrying the baddest designer handbags but they paid no attention to their cosmetic bag. They were dusty, crusty, and just plain 'ol ugly!! Why would you do such a thing?? If you been reading my blog from the beginning you've learned that you can still be absolutely stylish with out breaking the bank. There are infinite possibilities to choose from, so why or why aren't we choosing them?? You can even find a cute one at the dollar store for, yup you guessed it a buck! So if you're having a hard time choosing I've taken the liberty of picking a few that will fit every budget..........

Mirror, Mirror in my Purse!

So while out and about in the city today I happen to notice the mirrors that women carry in their make-up bags(BTW the make-up bags were a mess as well but I'll talk about that tomorrow;), and in my opinion they were not something that should be pulled out in public!! Old dusty MAC compacts, chipped, broken, and just uncared for!! Where did the days go when women carried utterly stunning compacts?? I myself carry a patent leather croc embossed compact,with two sides. One side with a regular mirror, the other magnified , just in case I see a stray hair that needs tweezing along my brow line;) And price is NOT a problem!! They can be found everywhere, from Kenneth J. Lane to Forever 21. Anywho here are a few of my faves I found while searching the net.......

Alexander McQueen

It has been reported today that the amazingly talented British designer Alexander McQueen took his life in the early hours of the morning. Both the fashion world and his personal world will truly miss this great talent. I knew him only through his works of art...........

Rest In Peace Alexander McQueen.

Does anyone have the time?

I feel as though the watch is not paid as much attention as the rest of the accessories in the jewelry box. I'm guilty of sometimes shunning the watch but I'm about to change all of that. I was on the Nordstrom website and found a plethora of FAB watches for every occasion! Some ceramic, some rubber, some with crystals, some with charms, and even a super cute heart pendant necklace! It was a feast for the eyes.....or shall I say the wrist. With these on deck you'll want everyone to ask you what time it is! Who knew telling time could be so fun and good looking.......
