I had to limit my finds to 5 BUT I can’t live without Maybelline Baby Lips lately. Think of it as Lip smackers for grown ups. They smell sooooooooo yummy and are very moisturizing with a slight tint of color.

Fall Riding/Flat Boots!!!!! On Any budget!

3 Oct

Happy Fall Ya’ll! Today I’m taking FULL advantage of the temp dropping below 70!!!!! I live in sunny southern California so it’s pretty much still Summer here!  Today though, it’s a bit grey out and I’m rocking one of my favorite flat boots- the ‘Campus’ boot in banana by Frye!  These boots come with or without stitching, I chose stitching because it’s fun!  These boots go with everything and have looked brand new since the day I bought them which was years ago! They will last you a lifetime.  Below, I’ve featured the Frye camus boot and some more cute riding /flat boots that will compliment your Fall wardrobe. Click the links to shop!

Marc Jacobs Leaving Louis Vuitton!

2 Oct

Today my friends, marks the end of an era. 16 years after launching ready to wear for Louis Vuitton, Creative Director Marc Jacobs announced his departure from the iconic fashion house after today’s Spring ’14 show in Paris.  Let’s give credit where credit is due!  Louis Vuitton was mostly known for handbags and trunks before Jacobs stepped into the picture.  He literally made louis Vuitton the “fashion” brand that it is today.   I mean, he single handedly reinvented the designer collaboration!!!  Hello Takashi Murakami!!!! I was on a 6 month waiting list for my black rainbow Speedy bag! This really is a sad sad day in fashion:( I absolutely loved how Marc took the reins and ran with them and never looked back or cared what anybody had to say- in turn he helped Louis Vuitton experience their most profitable years to date!  Jacobs will focus on his own fashion lines with his “spare time”.

MJ                                                                                                                       Bravo Marc!!!!!  You were ALL THAT and then some!
