Incoming: Orange Bags!

This one's for you FitSugar!

This one's for you FitSugar! A certain colored handbag jumped out at me in this week's Life & Style best-selling handbags spread. Not too long ago I did a post about the best-selling shoes right now. It is interesting that three out of the eleven bags pictured have an orange hue to them - not to mention Jennifer Lopez' outfit. So while attack of the silver handbags is under way, orange bags are incoming. If orange is too overpowering for you, bring this chipper color in with an accessory, and you can never have too many bags...

Fab Finding

Fab Finding Follow Up: Ten Year High School Reunion

Earlier this week, I wrote about dressing for reunions.

Earlier this week, I wrote about dressing for reunions. This is one of those events people either love to attend or loathe to attend. What does one wear to a such a nerve-inducing event? I say as long as you're confident and look your best, however the evening goes, put your best foot forward. I started you off with this Prada Ruched Nylon/Leather Handbag, $1,650. This bag is simply fabulous and a definite confidence booster if you ask me.

I asked you all to go Fab Finding to find: a killer dress, or separates, fun shoes, jewelry, and a dashing coat. To see all the high school reunion finds click here.

Lip Repair

Fab Lip Repair Care

There are so many products that concentrate on caring for the delicate skin on your face, eyes, body and hands, but what about your lips?

There are so many products that concentrate on caring for the delicate skin on your face, eyes, body and hands, but what about your lips? It's one thing to remedy dry or parched lips with lip balm, but how do you cure peeling and cracking severely damaged smackers?

With winter upon us, the cold weather demands that you turn on your heat. Heaters, especially when you are sleeping near them, tend to dry out your skin, throat, etc. Be sure to drink plenty of water, and if possible use a humidifier. You can also apply these intense and extremely concentrated treatments to your lips before you go to bed and let them work their magic as you sleep. Talk about a dream come true!

Elemis Lip Rescue, $23, is a petroleum-free lip balm that will help nourish and soften your dry lips. Made from vitamins, natural plant collagen, white bees wax, Mediterranean olive oil wax, peppermint, wild mint, calendula and cocoa butter, this rich formula will soothe even the sorest of lips instantly. Apply in the evening and periodically throughout the day.

Trend Alert

Trend Alert: Collarless Jackets

Here is a retro silhouette that is way cute.

Here is a retro silhouette that is way cute. These little collarless jackets whisper Rachel Bilson and Zooey Deschanel. The unfussy neckline allows what's underneath to shine through. It also ads an element of structure to a look. I like a bright colored tunic top layered underneath the grey or black ones. Or, be bold, and layer it underneath the happy winter yellow one. Check out my designer and non-designer collarless cuties below:


Rebecca Taylor cropped linen yellow jacket, $300.

Forever 21 Chloe Cape Jacket, $22.80.


Banana Republic cotton/linen swing jacket, $128.

Fab Fragrance

Vera Wang Introduces Truly Pink

Vera Wang has once again grown her empire of: beds, dresses, china, lingerie, shoes, jewelry, eye wear, home collections, and books.

Vera Wang has once again grown her empire of: beds, dresses, china, lingerie, shoes, jewelry, eye wear, home collections, and books. Her latest addition in her fragrance line is a scent called, Vera Wang Truly Pink Perfume, $85.

Vera says, “For me, Truly Pink is the embodiment of pure femininity...enchanting and forever in bloom.” I can't argue with that since pink also happens to be one of my favorite colors. This new perfume is as soft as a rose petal. It exudes the essence of a gentle woman with its floral heart.

It has top notes of: white freesia, cassis and lychee blossom; middle notes of: peony, pink rose accord, pink lilly of the valley; and base notes of: woods, iris and violet wood.

You can also buy a 6.7 oz body crème, $85, and a 5 oz tube of body lotion, $40, beginning in February.

Love It or Hate It

Marc Jacobs Gladiator Boot: Love It or Hate It?

I know Marc Jacobs is one of those fashion brands you all either love or hate - so I could do a poll around that.

I know Marc Jacobs is one of those fashion brands you all either love or hate - so I could do a poll around that. But I found something better. This Marc Jacobs Collection
Gladiator Boot
, $785, is from his brand new spring collection. These grained leather boots have aged brass hardware and leather straps threaded through the vamp. While I'm sure (and hope) they are beautifully made, I'm not so sure they are beautiful. Really, these cater to a specific style. Is that style you? Love it or hate it?

Jewelry

Glitterati: Chan Luu

Here is a jewelry designer a reader turned me on to (wherever you are: thank you!).

Here is a jewelry designer a reader turned me on to (wherever you are: thank you!). Chan Luu was born and raised in Vietnam and moved to LA to follow her dream of becoming a fashion designer. She enrolled at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising and earned a degree in Fashion Design. Her company started with four employees producing her first jewelry collection using precious metals, semi-precious stones and pearls.

Today, she owns a flagship store in LA and is also sold at major retailers around the world. While she has a ready-to-wear collection, her online shop sells her unique, dainty jewelry designs. They also have a one of a kind section, where they donate 50% of the
proceeds to a charity you can pick. Here is my pick, this Freshwater pearl and gold vermeil wrap bracelet, $195, which can also be worn as a necklace.
