Lions, and tigers and bears....oh my!

Check out this Ronson Tote with a rather funky print by Akari Inoguchi.  With black handles and black leather side panels, it is pretty hot.

so adorable and useful

I have nine keys on my key ring at any given time, sometimes 12 if I'm planning on heading to the Florida house......I must have colored rings on them so that I don't waste time trying to open doors with my back to the street leaving me vunerable to thugs ☠....I saw these and have to get them asap for my keys......"key" shirts, get it, like teeee shirts......I know it's corny but how CUTE and they're only $5!

go out and get some

During a recent conversation with mom, she told me about a new mascara from Maybelline that I HAD to try.......well, naturally I ran right across the street to Duane Reade to pick up one for myself, doubting that anything could make my lashes look better than my standby of 7 years, L'Oreal Voluminous.....and shockingly, this mascara truly ROCKS.......it's not even waterproof and I MUST have waterproof, but stays on and makes your lashes look super long and separated......I recomend the Black/Brown.......go grab one for yourself, it was only $6!!

if I was a little bit more ambitious

I would buy all of the "Built by Wendy"for Simplicity and start sewing up a storm.  I think that it's extremely cool for designers to allow you to make your own versions of their designs.....wow, that sounds a lot like what we do here!......Her stuff is great and she wrote a book about making your own wardrobe AND sells a starter kit complete with 6 patterns!  Mom, you can add this to my Xmas wish list, I'm going to have to break out the sewing machine.

you know you're an "it" bag when......

there's about 100 people selling you on ebay times 10 of your original price.......so you probably heard about this bag a few months ago when it debuted and promptly sold out......the bag cost $15 and one of my interns was lucky enough to score one.......it's very cute and very well made and quite clever.......i actually stared at ebay for 10 minutes today debating whether or not i should spend $150 to buy one.......i really have no idea why and came to my senses and decide to write about it instead........okay, i'm actually sitting here trying to rationalize the purchase but I'm not getting it i swear.........

this will help you understand all those articles in Vogue
