Beautiful bag, right? It’s the Linea Pelle Dylan Croco Shoulder bag in Topaz (orange). It’s from the Fall 2008 collection, but shhhh don’t tell! I think it will still look great with all my Fall 2009 outfits. Only bag snobs will know it’s from last years collection and we’re not out to impress them, right?…
Why your perfumes is so expensive? 50% – 90% of the cost of commercial perfume is marketing, not materials. Perfume is one of the most dramatic examples of the price not reflecting the cost of materials. Most people think that designer perfumes have all kinds of expensive and precious ingredients, and that is what makes…

You would not believe the bargains you can get on handbags at SmartBargains.com. Have you seen the TJMaxx commercial about how they get the overstock designer items for less? Well I think whatever TJMaxx and Overstock.com doesn’t buy, goes to samples sale sites like RueLaLa, Gilt Group and ideeli.com. Then, whatever is left over goes…
I’ve used so many different nail buffers and most of them work good the first couple times and then it wears out… Plus the shine doesn’t seem to last. The 4 way cube nail buffers aren’t very user friendly… it’s hard to maneuver and usually only gets the top of your nail done. But I…

A few months ago, I had never heard of Erno Laszlo, so I’m wondering how many other people have never heard of them… If everyone else knows about Erno Laszlo and didn’t tell me, then you’re all in BIG trouble! I had no idea what I was missing out on till I tried a few…
I’m not exactly a master chef (just ask my brother-in-law – the master chef)… so I was pretty excited to check out Sam Stern’s new cookbook, Get Cooking. Sam Stern is a famous teenage chef! He was raised in Yorkshire, England, with three fantastic sisters and one brilliant brother — until they went to college…

I don’t know whether it’s just the glade lady that irritates me or the fact that she’s so obsessed with the way her house smells, but either way, I HATE Glade commercials. To top it off, I’m not particularly impressed with Glad products either. Febreze is just way better in my opinion. I’m not obsessed…
The Long Dress Trend isn’t going anywhere! It was hot last summer and carried on right into Fall. As soon as the weather started warming up again, everyone started wearing them again! It’s amazing!
