While waiting for trick-or-treaters to come to my door, I decided to do a little shopping. The cutest little bottle of Juicy Couture’s Travel Eau de Parfum – Strawberry caught my eye.  The bottle is a one ounce size with a little strawberry charm hanging off the side of the top. Adorable. After seeing her reaction to the bottle of Mally, I know a certain teenager who would love to find this bottle come the holidays.
Since Juicy girls are always on the move, Pamela and Gela wanted them to have their Juicy Couture wherever they went. That’s why they created …read more

Is the recession getting to you? U.S. Topshop saves the day.

And now we won’t even have to go through the headache of converting pounds to dollars and trying …read more

I first fell in love with Indigo shoes by Clarks when I bought a pair of gorgeous wine-colored suede boots – with pink flowers stitched up the legs.  Yummy!

Every year after Christmas, I treat myself to a new calendar for my studio/office.  I found a gorgeous handbag calendar last year.  After all, if I can’t afford the latest Judith Leiber Miniaudiere – I can still enjoy how beautiful it is!
I’m going hunting today to track down my “perfect” calendar.  I’ve browsed online and have found several suitable candidates – but I’ll have to make my final decision once I actually have them in my hot little hands.
