Fab Finding Follow Up: A Chic Makeup Bag

Last week I told you a sad story about how I took a look at my current makeup bag I have on display in my bathroom and realized I'm over it.

Last week I told you a sad story about how I took a look at my current makeup bag I have on display in my bathroom and realized I'm over it. All my guests see this bag in my bathroom so I thought I should have something more high fashion looking to hold my beauty faves. I found this Kate Spade patchin place small manuela in green, $85, but I'm not sure about it; I love the polka dots but the green color doesn't say pretty bathroom to me.

I asked you all to go Fab Finding for a chic makeup bag. If it can double as a clutch to wear out that would earn extra points! To see all the chic makeup bag finds click here. Let's see what you all shared!

Makeup bag #1, found by misssixty02 is this Diane von Furstenberg Dahlia's Garden Makeup Bag that is absolutely lovely! I love the colors and the slim shape.

Fab's Spring Shoe Guide! Open-Toed D'Orsays

Here is the most ladylike option you will see during my Fab Spring Shoe Guide.

Here is the most ladylike option you will see during my Fab Spring Shoe Guide. Open-toed d'orsays are the best option for a cocktail party, wedding or when you just want to feel womanly. They are also sexy since they accentuate the ankle and the sleek sides of the foot. Move aside you wood-heeled wedges and make room for the femme fatale d'orsay.

Celebrity Style: Carmen Electra

Carmen Electra has been a Celebrity Style favorite lately.

Carmen Electra has been a Celebrity Style favorite lately. She is certainly making herself noticeable in this bright turquoise number at the "I Want Candy" premiere in London this week. She isn't following any Spring color trends here...just sticking to a color she knows looks good on everyone! She looks youthful and flirty, so I must say: job well done Miss Electra.

Love It or Hate It

Dooney & Bourke Candy Print Bag: Love It or Hate It?

I appreciate Dooney & Bourke's effort over the past couple years to reach out to a younger customer with colorful prints and too cute spokesmodels like the current Emma Roberts and our fave Lindsay Lohan.

I appreciate Dooney & Bourke's effort over the past couple years to reach out to a younger customer with colorful prints and too cute spokesmodels like the current Emma Roberts and our fave Lindsay Lohan. But a candy print might be taking things a little too Willy Wonka for me. This Dooney & Bourke Candy Print Bag was found by CGW in the Love It or Hate It? group. What are your thoughts?

Trend Alert: Razzle Bedazzle Rhinestones

OK, raise your hand if you had a Bedazzler back in the day?

OK, raise your hand if you had a Bedazzler back in the day? You know I did! Really, what girl doesn't want a little razzle bedazzle rhinestones in her life? I have always been a sucker for a little sparkle. While experienced Bedazzler is on my resume, I'm at a point in my life where I'd rather just buy something sparkle ready. Luckily, we can all feel like princesses this Spring with these rhinestone finds.

Stacey Lapidus braided rhinestone headband, $100.

beauty marks

Beauty Mark It! A Yummy Scented Shower Soap

I have been using Dove White Beauty Bar for decades.

I have been using Dove White Beauty Bar for decades. It's what my mom raised me on, so when I moved out - I never even thought to change. I like it because it's mild and it doesn't irritate my skin. However, recently when I was staying in a hotel I came to love the way their soap smelled.

It definitely had a peppermint scent to it that left me feeling refreshed and invigorated. I never knew a soap could have that much of an impact on me!

I would love it if you guys could go beauty marking to help me find a new, yummy smelling shower soap that is also gentle.

Remember to let me know when your Beauty Marks are up by tagging your soaps with shower soap. To learn what a Beauty Mark is and how to make one, click here.

Handbags

Fabulous Handbag Look-a-Likes, Part III

Welcome back to the third and final part in this handbag look-a-likes series.

Welcome back to the third and final part in this handbag look-a-likes series. This installment features a handbag designed by Miu Miu and a replica that has been created for just a fraction of the cost.

At one time this was the "It Bag" of the season. Stars like Sienna Miller, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Mischa Barton all carried it in different colors/fabrics. If you are into getting looks for less, here are some amazing beauty look-a-likes to peek your interest.

This Large Meredith Shoulder Bag (right), $625, looks a lot like the Miu Miu Matelasse Lino Coffer Bag (left), $1,550. They both have similar brass hardware, the same shape, top flap with hinges and push-lock closure as well as a removable cross-body strap and key pouch. I personally like the Miu Miu one better, but it really is a fortune. Which bag do you like best?

Do You Like Dita Von Teese Au Naturel or All Made Up?

Burlesque star Dita Von Teese has a complete Hollywood persona.

Burlesque star Dita Von Teese has a complete Hollywood persona. This is the first time I've ever seen her without makeup on. I have to say that I'm pleasantly surprised how pretty and, dare I say "sweet" she looks. What do you think? Do you like her better au naturel or all made up?
