Sunglasses….
Even though the weather is still cold over on the East Coast the sun has come out consistantly and you can never protect your eyes to much. I have 8 pairs of sunglasses and counting, but here are a few I really want to get my hands on this summer. They’re a bit pricey, but they’re worth every penny.
Salvatore Ferragamo $418.00
Tom Ford $360.00
Marc Jacobs $310.00
Gucci $308.00
Giorgio Armani $298.00
Have You Looked in Your Purse Lately?
The Dark Basement, the Dungeon, the Black Hole…have you given your purse a name yet? I have a hand bag fetish (as well as a shoe, shopping and clothing fetish, but that’s besides the point) over the years I have grown to love REALLY BIG HANDBAGS and one of the perks or evils of carrying a big hand bag is the fact that the majority of your belongings go in and very rarely easily come out. I put lip balm in my over-sized “Jessica Simpsonish” Louis Vuitton hand bag and ten minutes later went to retrieve it and couldn’t find it. It literally disappeared to the naked eye. I had to dump all of my belongings onto the bed just to find a little .15 oz tube of lip balm.
This is my “WORK” hand bag…..
I requested, and my mother purchased me a lovely mid-sized Dolce & Gabbana hand bag for Christmas. I’ve been trying my best to separate my “work” hand bag from my “out on the town” hand bag and my “everyday hanging out with girlfriends” hand bag. The above picture is my work hand bag and even as I was taking the picture I was disgusted with the lack of important items not making an appearance. I live in Philadelphia and walk to work which means I have to travel light, so I can’t take the entire box of Wet Ones that I would normally take with me if I had one of my bigger hand bags. Instead I have essentials, my must haves…Keys, lotion, hand sanitizer, mirror, lip gloss, wallet, advil, feminine clutch and diet pills (oh! and a cell phone but I was using that to take the picture :-). What I don’t have is make-up, gum, breath mints, umbrella, book, ipod, wet ones, sunglasses, pen, brush, hair spray, deodorant, camera, change of jewelry, make-up wipes,…etc. you get where I’m going.
Here are the top ten Must Have Items women carry in their hand bags…according to an anonymous online survey:
- Cell Phone
- Make-Up
- Feminine clutch
- Keys
- Mirror
- Music (iPod, MP3 Player etc)
- Lotion/hand sanitizer
- Wallet
- Gum/candy
- Sunglasses
Where do you fall on the top ten?

WHAT IS THIS!?!?!
I consider myself to be artsy/creative as well as being one of the most girliest girls walking the face of the earth, and with those characteristics comes a very well seasoned risk taker when it comes to my style of fashion. I’ve been known to wear colors that you wouldn’t normally see together. I’ve been known to where gym attire with a $475 hand bag and 6 inch stilettos. I’ve been known to wear plaid and pleats even after they were considered “out of fashion”. I’ve been known to wear an outfit and only match my make-up and shoes. I’ve even been known to wear white shoes and pants after Labor Day. With all of that I’m just not getting the idea behind all of this…
These are all outfits from a selection of designers at London’s fashion week. London has been named one of the fashion mecca’s of the world, but I find myself questioning that title when I see duds like this 
. Fashion has been compared often times to art and YES!…YES!…YES! I absolutely agree with that, but the difference between fashion and art is there is a point where Fashion can go way to far. To the point where if you find the average civilian who would wear something as shiteous as the outfits above they wouldn’t be able to wear it comfortably for longer than 10 minutes. I praise the designer that can be creative and remain tasteful. I have always been a fan of the risk takers in fashion like Jennifer Nicholson people who take chances on different colors, cuts, materials and looks. People who can create an entire fall line using only the color black and still be creative enough to not look as though they’ve repeated a style. I love fashion and I as well as my wallet will always be her biggest fan, but lately…Fashion HAS gone to far.

Ladies, Ladies, Ladies!
So your going out on a date with a great new guy. You pick the perfect shoes, outfit, make-up and hand bag. He picks you up for dinner and you arrive at the restaurant and you’re left with wondering where you’re going to stash your new $100+ hand bag. Most women opt for the cluttered approach and place the hand bag in the seat next to us which makes for a very uncomfortable evening or we place the hand bag on the back of our chairs and for women who carry big bulky bags like me know that most of the chairs offered in restaurants aren’t sturdy enough to handle the hand bag weight. Now, thanks to LuxeLink.com we never have to worry about where to put our hand bags when we’re out for dinner.
Yes ladies for a cool $45 you too can own a luxe link hand bag holder and join the elite of hand bag whores like Lindsay Lohan, Tori Spelling and myself. $45 might seem a little steep for a magnet the size of a silver dollar but its much cheaper than the price of cleaning if your one of the women I’ve seen who has opted to place her hand bag on the floor during dinner that is an absolute No! No! especially if you’ve paid anything over $50 for your bag.
The new infectious product called Luxe Link is small enough to fit in the zipper part of your purse (that no one ever uses) Weighs slightly less than your cell phone, and is so easy to use my 7 year old nephew can figure it out. If you’re a purse whore and you do not have a Luxe Link you’re doing a huge amount of grave danger to your hand bag collection and evenutually your wallet. Even if you don’t plan to buy a Luxe Link head over to their website at www.luxelink.com to check out what other products they have to offer. You won’t be disappointed and your hand bag will thank you.

Max Factor, Maybelline, Revlon, L’Oreal, Lancome and Covergirl…what do you think of when you hear these brand names. MAKE-UP! These are the most vocal make-up brands in the world. We see their faces on the run-way, in magazines and on commercials, but yet a large amount of the women all over the world choose to “M.A.C. it up”. I have been using M.A.C. Cosmetics (owned by Estée Lauder) since I was 22 and the looks you can achieve with this make-up are astounding. Now….applying make-up truly is an art form. M.A.C. keeps their product current often by releasing new products as well as discontinuing products they’ve already released due to the fact that faces change, complexions change and the women/men who wear the make-up change.
Barbie Loves M.A.C. is the newest line released by M.A.C. Cosmetics and a stampede of frantically charged women flooded their nearest M.A.C. store and online market to be the first of soon to be millions of women to flaunt the Barbie look. Barbie loves M.A.C. made its debut on February 13th and on February 13th at 9:45AM a young make-up whore went to her local M.A.C. store (I took an early lunch, the store opens at 9:00am) which is two Philadelphia city blocks from her job; to purchase her Barbie loves M.A.C. personal supply. I’ve built somewhat of a close relationship with one or more of the M.A.C. employees as I buy at least $130 worth of make-up once a week, so when I walked in I was sure they had one of everything set aside for me. I asked my main helper (let’s call him “Tom” for privacy purposes) for a Barbie loves MAC eye shadow in the “Playful” shade. I was told that they were sold out and I could be put on the waiting list for that particular eye shadow. There’s a waiting list for “Playful” eye shadow and if I were to want a shadow in another shade I would have to be put on a separate waiting list for that shadow as well. Wait…WHAT!!!! Stop the presses…a waiting list?!?! I grabbed Tom by the collar and said “Tom, you knew I’d be in why didn’t you set anything aside!” He said, “I know, I tried, but we were just so overwhelmed and people started offering more than the purchase price for the products, so we had to sell what we were holding for you” I gave him a look of disgust and failure. The make-up whore I thought he once was had been reduced to a mere M.A.C. employee in the matter if 10 seconds. I dropped my head in sadness and walked out of the store without doing my normal rounds of hellos and goodbyes. When I returned to my office I got online to see if I could purchase a few “can’t live without” colors from the online store. I am more than against making purchases online unless it is absolutely necessary and that day it was ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY! I got online and to my dismay, they were sold out as well, in every single color. What a disappointment.
It is now February 28th and Barbie Loves M.A.C. has been on sale for 16 days. I went to my local store and still no eye shadow in the “Playful” shade. I looked online again and was greeted by a “SOLD OUT” message next the…you guessed it….the eye shadow in the “Playful” shade. I’m normally a playful kind of girl, but not today, no today I’m still saddened by the fact that M.A.C. knows they have millions of customers, but didn’t think it was important enough to make more eye shadows to accommodate the people who show up at the store 45 minutes after opening time. I’ll be a M.A.C. Make-Up whore until my face will no longer accept make-up, but I was let down this week. I’m sure my mood will change as soon as I get my “Playful” shade of eye shadow, but until that time I’m holding the grudge.
That’s all for today my fellow fashion whores….until next time!
