Lovely

I was asked recently what my favorite perfume was.  Since it changes (almost weekly!), I had to say, “At the moment…..”

There are SO MANY amazing fragrances on the market, picking just one would be like picking just one favorite dessert, which I can’t do either.

I tend to wear perfume to match what I’m wearing or how I’m feeling.  For example, if I’m going to the park to walk or play tennis, I’ll spray on something kind of kicky like Charlie or Exclamation.  Other times, I’ll grab Lovely (shown), by Sarah Jessica Parker or one of JLo’s killer fragrances.

I got an e-mail from a girl who was getting married soon.  She was asking about white satin clutches and gloves.  (She’s going to be such a knock-out, her groom will pass out!)  I asked her what perfume she was going to wear and she said the one that started it all: 
Lovely
.  Apparently, she walked by him in the mall and he fell for her and her perfume - it’s what started the conversation that led to dates that led to her finding the perfect clutch and gloves for an October wedding!

How perfectly Lovely!



If you look at the very top of the page and the very bottom, you’ll notice that I’ve added a new feature to the blog.  These “Auction Ads” will rotate a huge variety of hot purses, handbags, jewelry and totes.  The best thing about them is that you can get them for a lot less than they’d normally cost you.  Shopping like this is the funnest way to shop - it’s like you’re hunting for your own personal treasure while getting away with a steal.

The ads change each time you come, or each time you refresh the page.  So, keep your eye on them (maybe even both eyes) - because you never know when something you MUST have will turn up!



Celebs carrying the YSL Downtown Bag

Stars love the Yves Saint Laurent Downtown Tote.  While I’m pretty mad about Ashlee’s red bag and Halle’s Silver one, I’m most in love with Jessica Biel’s white bag.  The way it looks with her white dress is eye-popping and heart-stopping. (Click the pic for a larger view.)

Whiting and Davis Pop Art Handbag
Check out this beauty!  She’s taking this whole fashion thing seriously.  When I first laid eyes on this
Whiting and Davis Pop Art Handbag
, my mind couldn’t make itself up - part of it thought the sophisticated style was what made it stand out, while the other part was all about the pop art fun.  Both sides agreed that it was something all of us must have.

From the website:

Take a trip back in time with this timeless Pop Art Handbag. From Whiting and Davis, masters at mesh design, this dazzling handbag features vibrant retro shapes printed on its silver-brushed metal mesh. A dainty silver-brushed metal chain looks elegant draped over your shoulder and a rectangular frame with an angular clasp closure keeps your belongings beautifully secure. The Pop Art Handbag opens to reveal a black satiny lining with a slip pocket. We love to pair this flirty, fun handbag with white dresses and vintage designs.

Well said, copywriters.

The Sak Janet Stripe Minis Flap Handbag


The Sak Janet Stripe Minis Flap Handbag
, above, is from a website that’s completely new to me, Endless.com.  Ironically, the number of gorgeous handbags and shoes they have is…..you guessed it, endless.

With a funky, chunky, crocheted body and a rainbow-colored tassel, the Janet mini flap handbag from The Sak will tote your tiniest take-alongs in candy-sweet style. It also has built-in cell phone and card slot pockets to help you pare down to the vitals.

I don’t know about you, but I’m all about paring down the vitals in the summer.  The less I have to tote around, the better.  Float like a butterfly, that sort of thing.



Ruffled Top

I know I’ve sang JLo’s praise on this blog so much you probably think I own part of the biz, but (sadly) that’s nowhere near the truth.

I’m merely a huge fan and admirer - not only of the lady’s talent, style, and beauty, but also of the amazing products that carry her name.  The jewelry, the clothes, and everything - right down to the underwear - is off the charts amazing.  The quality is as high as you could hope for, and the prices are so fair you’ll wonder why they don’t mark them up.  Not that we’ll suggest it, or anything. 

The eye-catchingly hot green Cord Pleated Skirt, shown here, paired with the sexy little black Ruffled Top are the stuff red hot summer nights are built around.

The jewelry completes the look beautifully. In my book, a great pair of hoops pulls a look together nearly as well as a killer purse. Click any of the links or pics to pop over to the website and look around.  You’ll be totally impressed, I promise.
