Review: YSL Holiday 2009 Makeup Set

by Cassandra on November 8, 2009 1 Comment


Yesterday I did a little pre-holiday shopping - for myself, haha. I stopped into Sephora specifically to pick up the Yves Saint Laurent holiday makeup kit. I am huge fan of prepackaged makeup sets. They are the perfect little gift for yourself, any time of the year. I spotted this beauty in the Sephora holiday 2009 catalog I received in the mail earlier this week. I have to admit - being a handbag lover - I was instantly attracted to the gorgeous black YSL clutch. And for $60? Come on, how could I resist.

So here's my take on the set. I think it is totally worth the price. It includes a gorgeous, full size apricot-flavored lipgloss, a full size luminous radiance, a travel size mascara and a travel size eyeliner. I used everything but the mascara last night before I went to dinner. I love them all! The eyeliner goes on ...

Lindsay Lohan rocks Rebecca Minkoff apparel

by Cassandra on November 4, 2009 0 Comments




Here's Miss Lohan herself wearing two pieces from Rebecca Minkoff's clothing line: the polka dots Dylan blouse and Bolero Blazer. What do you think of her getup? I personally would have buttoned the blouse and sans the hat - it's adorable.

And here's some fun - can you name Lindsay's bag?

Tory Burch studded bowler

by Cassandra on November 2, 2009 0 Comments

Studs are all the rage this season - popping up on everything from bags to belts to shoes. Some pieces are stud-filled, while some have a minimum amount of rocker-chic detailing.


When I first saw Tory Burch's new studded bowler, I LIKED it. I knew I had to give it a second look. The shape instantly reminded me of the classic Vuitton Speedy.


I think this bag has just the right amount of studs. I love love love the black&gold combination as well. Plus, the optional shoulder strap makes it that much more functional.



I still haven't made up my mind on this one yet. It retails for $595 & can be purchased here @ net-a-porter.








Louis Vuitton Eclipse Speedy 28

by Cassandra on November 2, 2009 0 Comments


My absolute favorite piece from the Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 2009 collection is the monogram Eclipse Speedy 28. Yes, I said 28. In case you weren't already aware, Vuitton created a new Speedy-size especially for this piece. Will the 28 stick around for different collections, maybe monogram? That is not know at this time.


This bag was released world-wide in stores back in August. I decided last month I was in love with this bag and needed to have it. Of course, I couldn't decide if I wanted the noir or the gold version. After much contemplating, I figured black would suit my wardrobe much better than the gold. I contacted Louis Vuitton and the representative I spoke with informed me that this bag - in black and gold - is entirely sold out in North America.


I am really disappointed I waited this long to try and track one ...

Wallet of the Week: Tory Burch Zip Continental

by Cassandra on November 2, 2009 0 Comments

I thought it would be fun to do a weekly segment called: Wallet of the Week. Every week I'll pick out my fabulous find and share it with you!


This week, I fell in love with Tory Burch's Zip Continental wallet in snakeskin-embossed leather. This is by far my favorite style of a wallet. It's the perfect size to fit all the daily essentials; and the wrap-around-zipper makes sure that my stuff doesn't end up at the bottom of my handbag. And there's nothing this girl loves more than a good animal print - especially a leather-embossed snakeskin in a neutral shade.


I love the look of snakeskin, but the feeling can be a tad creepy at times. The gold hardware makes this wallet even more perfect. The best part though? The price! It retails for $225. You can't go wrong with this one!

This season's IT bag: the Alexander Wang Coco mini duffel

by Cassandra on November 1, 2009 0 Comments




I could think of no bag more fitting for my first official handbag post than the Alexander Wang Coco mini duffel. I first spotted this bag over the summer in a US Weekly or Intouch magazine as the SOLD OUT have-to-have bag of the upcoming fall season. I instantly took to Google to find out where I could possibly find one for myself. After hours of searching web stores and calling various handbag departments at Saks, Nordstrom, and Neiman Marcus I was out of luck.

I knew I had to have this bag and didn't give up on my search. Luckily, a few days later I was browsing Aloha Rag's website when I saw the Coco was in stock. I placed my order and the rest is history.

Months later, this bag is still a hard one to come by. A few online stores occasionally pop up with ...
