For the love of a bag

Hi Guys!!

So today I’ve decided to share with the world, the latest addition to my collection of what I consider to be my babies – my handbags!! I honestly believe I have found a new love … yay me *big grin*.

An obsession that started awhile back, when I first laid eyes on this bag, I thought it to be the perfect piece for spring/summer. Upon tracking it down however, there were major setbacks in acquiring this piece. First being the price (the cost for this product was $398). Having given it much thought, I considered the price to be a bit steep for my pockets, and whilst I have no problem paying for items that are of great quality, I could not overlook the fact that this was still a PINK bag. Of all the colours that could possibly have caught my eye. The then thought was that it's not the most practical bag there is and my best friend kept reminding me of this fact as she had to listen to my incessant chatter about this “oh-so amazing” bag. For her, I had a new obsession with each passing week. This amused her each time.

Any who, after weeks of looking I finally saw it on Neiman Marcus’ website for the sale price of $266 which was a MUCH better price however, I still felt guilty for wanting to spend that much. Being the person that I am, I couldn't control myself and finally made up my mind to make the purchase, only to then realize that it was SOLD OUT!! To my dismay, this item that I’ve been wanting for so long was sold out in every major department store I could possibly think of. After a day of depression, my thought was that God just didn’t think I needed this bag even though I strongly disagreed!!

Well …this past Saturday (06/04) loves, a box showed up at my door with the lovely bag I’d been chasing down for weeks! It turns out that my wonderful bestie hunted down the bag and had it shipped to my home, and here I was thinking that I was the resourceful one. I was super excited, and still am to this second for having received the most amazing item ever. I HAVE A NEW BABY, Lolol!!

At this point, I would like to take the time out to acknowledge this small but well thought out gesture, and to say a big “Thank You” to such a wonderful friend!! J

I now introduce you all to, and share with you, images of my new baby … the Kate Spade "Charlotte Street Sylvie" in the colour Snapdragon.

Summer Faves

Hey guys,

Have you ever just found yourself fascinated by let’s just say the smallest of things? Well today, I figure I’d share some of the things I have fallen absolutely in love with for the months of July and August. Think of them as my “summer faves”. I consider myself a very peculiar person when it comes to certain things and am very selective when it comes to my purchases. I must say though, that I have become extremely excited with this just mere thought of using the items I’m about to inform you about. To me, they are just remarkable and I must give a big thumbs up to the manufacturers of these products.

I am not really a fan of the colour pink but lately I find that I have been drawn to this colour, as is evident in the selection of nail polishes and my favourite pair of earrings. Pink for me, is a vibrant colour that demonstrates youth, fun, and of course, excitement.

For those of you that don’t know, I wear hair extensions. I absolutely could not live without my Olive Oil Edge Control. This product works miracles I tell you! It gives me an excellent hold, keeping my edges laid down without drying out or hardening my hair.

The next item on my list is my recent makeup purchases. Lately, I’ve become even more fascinated with makeup items, not that I know much about the stuff, but best believe I can and will learn. Well, I went to Walmart recently, and bought four palettes, two by Physicians Formula amounting to approximately US$10 each, and two branded Cover girl at about US$5 each. OMG!! I fell so much in love with the palettes purchased. They encompass a vast array of colours that are simply amazing. Each gorgeous colour adds to my lustre and appeal when I feel like dressing up and hitting the streets. Whether it be a chic, modest look, or a fierce dominatrix image, dependent on my mood and the outing, I’m covered with this fabulous collection. It brings forth a youthful vibe, my wanting to try the different combos and seeing the end result.

In getting my eye shadows to remain throughout the day, I use Urban Decay’s Eyeshadow Primer Potion. The beauty about this product is its crease resistant. I kid you not, this potion is yet to fail me. I am in love with this product as it gives me the assurance that my eyeshadow will remain beautiful all day long as it was upon its first application. All in all, I experience absolutely no creasing with this product. If I didn’t know better, I’d say it were magic!

At the end of the day when I’m feeling lazy and extremely tired, in an effort to get all the applied makeup off my face, I use Neutrogena Make-Up Remover Cleansing Towelettes. I must say that I am impressed. These towelettes effortlessly removes everything including eye make-up. Whether it be waterproof or smudgeproof, I think they have finally come up with a solution for them all.

Now that I've clued you in on my favourite items for the summer, I hope you enjoy using each product as much as I do. Feel free to leave a comment and share with me, the products you deem most intriguing, and a must-have. Thx for reading!
