Review: YSL Holiday 2009 Makeup Set

Posted on November 08 2009 at 04:20 PM


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 so smoothly and it's the perfect makeup bag size!

Now, the best part - the clutch. As I said, the main reason I purchased the set was for the adorable black clutch. It is one of the only makeup/perfume set bags that I've seen without the word "parfums" or something along those lines imprinted below the logo. I was a little disappointed by the quality of it, however. I guess one shouldn't expect much for the price - considering the 4 cosmetic items that were included. It is a little flimsy to touch, but at a glance it looks rather luxurious.

All in all, the YSL holiday 2009 gift set is worth every penny. I'm sure you'll love it as much as I did. But get it fast, because this item is a limited edition and probably will sell out before Christmas. Get it here @ Sephora.

Lindsay Lohan rocks Rebecca Minkoff apparel

Posted on November 04 2009 at 03:19 PM




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

Posted on November 02 2009 at 01:10 PM

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

Posted on November 02 2009 at 12:42 PM


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 down. There is one qualm I have with this bag, however. Notice the circle-shaped hardware that holds the handles - it's silver! Even if I were to purchase the black version, the rest of the hardware is gold. I think this was a big mistake on the design aspect.


What do you think of the Eclipse Speedy 28? Do you own one? What's your favorite version? Is it worth the $2,160 price tag?

Wallet of the Week: Tory Burch Zip Continental

Posted on November 02 2009 at 11:44 AM

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

Posted on November 01 2009 at 12:30 PM




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 a limited number in stock. Some have placed pre-orders over the summer that aren't shipping until this month or December.

What do YOU think of the Coco duffel? Love it? Hate it? Do you have one? Are you on a waiting list?

The Coco retails for $850.


..and here's mine:
