Don't like flying Coach, try wearing Coach...

July 17th 2008 03:07
Good, ole wholesome, Coach, an inspired line for the common man, I might add. Love Coach purses/handbags and accessories. One of the best thing about designer is quality. Not taking anything away from non-designer items, but unfortunately, with designer comes quality and luxury. Because of the extremely high quality in the making of Coach handbags, then tend to last their owners for years and years.

You won't see any color fade on this handbag, only great quality and service. A handbag is a girls life. Have you ever heard the saying, maybe from one of your friends or relatives, stating, 'Do you carry you whole life in that bag", if not, I've heard it a number of times. I normally like all different types of handbags and my handbags have their own little closet store room in my house. Coach handbags is a definate must have in your accessory closet space. Also, to enhance your Coach handbag, you have to also pick up a couple of Coach accessories, such as their belts, key chains and more. Coach handbags is probably on the same level of Gucci handbags, well, take that back. Gucci is in a class of their own, but trust me when I say, Coach handbags is fighting or should I say competing with Gucci handbags.


With this Fall Holiday season coming soon, I look forward to seeing all that Coach has to offer in regards to new Holiday handbag designs.



See this marvelous handbag up top. This is a new bag from Coach's line called Coach Sleeker Metallic Signature handbag.


See this one below, this their Coach Signature Patchwork Zip Satchel, love It!




This one is pure traditional Coach honey, these the things that make people famous!


All Fashion, All the time Baby!!

To Kill or Not to Kill Croc's....

July 15th 2008 20:12
This is the question?? I am an animal lover myself and I know that many of you out there are the same. But, I am also a fashion and design lover also. So you have to understand this question above. Reason meaning, we often kill crocodiles and alligators and other exotic animals, why, so that we may, nothing else but wear them. Understandable, but this has caused many issues between animal rights groups and others.



I’ve been considering if the wearing of crocodile skin is ethical or not, moral or not, I haven’t really came to a conclusion. The jury is still out in my brain. I do believe in ultimate fairness, so I do hear both sides of an equation, before making my judgment. After hearing both sides, I believe that both sides have very valid arguments and I understand both of their arguments. Does this endanger our environment or planet, probably not, but if you look at the fact of it endangering our animals, such as the crocodile or alligator’s, possibly yes. We do have precious animals and accessories (lol) here on planet earth that are entrusted to our care and responsibility. If these crocodiles and other animals are not taken care of by us, then who. We humans do run the earth, if you haven’t known.



Now, will I stop wearing crocodile or alligator shoes? Probably not. Will I stop wearing exotic fur coats and the like? Probably not. Fashion is just that, fashion and the environment is just that. Hopefully, one day, we as human beings, can think of a way to mix the two without damaging either.

Happy Shopping!!

Can everyone have her 'Goodies'?

July 6th 2008 04:54
Singer Ciara, we all know her, "Tha Goodie's Girl" (lol). Well, it seem's, she's stepping out into mainstream stardom even more so nowadays. It's reported that she's signed a modeling contract with agency Wilhelmina, a prominant-upscale agency. She's also looking into launching her own clothing line via Steve and Barry's. Steve and Barry's is great store, with trendy items at great low prices. Great look Ciara! Steve and Barry's also carrie's Sarah Jessica Parker's line "Bitten" and Stephen Marbury's line "Marberry".



Now, I'm guessing this is definately the thing to do if your a famous singer, model, actor, etc. Famous people's clothing line's tends to do very well regarding sale. I don't know, maybe because they have a whole team of marketing and advertising staff, maybe.



But, I definately look forward to Ciara's new line. Her last CD did pretty well and I really liked it. To me, she is maturing in her singing skill and production. I also like her style so I bet her line will be right in line with her fiery, hip-hop style, one of my fav's. So with Steve and Barry's and Ciara teaming up.



So everyone be on the lookout!!

If what you want is FAME, STARDOM? Think again!!!! (LINK)

July 6th 2008 04:39
I ask this question today because nearly every young child strive's to be like Lindsey Lohan or Paris Hilton or Rhianna, if you get my drift. Stardom and fame are their goals to try to attain. Reason being, popularity, gold, glitz, power, money, fame, red carpets, etc. It's nothing wrong with dreaming or desiring to be successful and comfortable, but at what cost I ask? Often, there is a great cost to be paid. Cost such as paparazzi, tabloids, disfunctional love life, open book life, fake wanna be friends, not knowing who your true friends are, snakes in suits(exec's that is), inconsistant career high's.

Many young men and women are willing to risk these parts of their intimate life just for a glimpse of stardom, the adorement by others and prestige, yada yada. This is a major issue because 20 year old Russian model, Ruslana Korshunova, committed suicide last Saturday. She plundged to her death from her New York apartment. Have you seen her? She had to have been one of the most beautiful fashion models of this time. She's modeled for line's such as Vera Wang, Chrisian Dior, Marc Jacobs and other's. People, her apartment was on the ninth floor. The police has investigated and has definately ruled it as a suicide, but no note was left by her

My Checklist:Summer Do's and Don'ts

June 28th 2008 04:35
I've been asked a lot for opinion on what to wear and what not to wear this summer. We all wan't to be in fashion and in line with current Summer 08 trends, but we can do without the fashion mishaps or miscommunications. The definition of fashion miscommunication is wearing an ensemble or piece of fashion because you might have seen someone else wear it or 'do it' that way. PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS PEOPLE!!!! So I've brainstormed my own personal list of Summer fashion do's and don'ts.

The new RED Stick look

June 24th 2008 20:19
Do all of you remember the retro-60,70,80’s look? Madonna, Goldie Hawn and a few other’s use to sport this trendy look. Well, it quickly went out of style, with the turn of the decade: 90’s is here!!! I grew up in the 80’s and at the time, loved the style. But who doesn’t love and try to ride the trend tide in their decade? We all do.

The blue eye shadow, the poofy hair, the curly perms, the leather w/zipper jackets, the whole nine yards. You’ve probably seen that some aspect of this past trendy style is back and a big hit in Hollywood. Lipstick, especially. I personally, really use to hate RED lip color. I felt it made people look like vampires or zombies. But Hollywood has been incorporating the color red, very nicely, I must say, in movies and on celebrities. I like the new, up to date, red lip color, especially with the opaque face

Check my SHOE WORK!!

June 23rd 2008 23:30
I LOVE SHOES!! I think I may be totally obsessed with shoes. I REPEAT, I LOVE SHOES!! I really don’t know how many pair I currently have, but trust me it’s a LOT(LOL)! But what young woman doesn’t like shoes. All sorts of shoes. Shoes give me that tingly feeling on the inside, you know, that ooooohhhhhh, aaaaaahhhh, feeling. Let me stop. Everyone has something. A food fetish, a banana fetish, well I (and many of you) have SHOE fetishes. If I don’t have enough money to buy that “me” outfit, I will settle investing a great pair of manolo’s, pump’s, boots or hills. Anyday…..

I recently saw Sex in the City, the movie with Sarah Jessica Parker and oh baby the Shoe!!!!!! See, that’s what I love about chick flicks, though I don’t like all. But at least chick flicks cater to us, women. A great flick with display great style and fashion, something most of us respect and draw from. The main type of shoes displayed in the movie is the Jimmy Choo shoe. Jimmy Choo started around 10 years ago in a small town in England. Bet he never guessed his company would be so international and famous. A very smart, let me repeat, a VERY smart woman by the name of Tamara Mellon, knew of Mr. Choo’s tremendous success in her native, England and proposed a business gesture for him. Thankfully, he accepted and that propelled the Jimmy Choo company that we all know of today, WHOOPEE

We! We! Louis! (LINK)

June 23rd 2008 23:04
Everyone probably already know’s what bag this is. You might even know who sports it, especially if you watch daytime TV. I love all handbags, especially fashionable ones such as Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Prada, Fendi. I would have to say that this might be one of my favorite bags of all time, actually coming from the most recognizable designer’s of all time.

Louis Vuitton and his French style has influenced and left a huge mark on the fashion industry, specifically handbags. So much so, Vuitton is also infiltrating the jewelry scene with a new jewelry line and more

PUFF be Gone!

June 19th 2008 03:53
Puff Be Gone

I am a full-time mom, student and wife and my life is SO hectic, 24 hours a day. Sometime’s, I barely get the minimum amount of sleep. The evolution of my world, pretty much, keeps me routinely busy. Sometime’s when I’ve pulled a late nighter, you know, surfing the web, blogging, research, myspace, that whole deal, I wake up the next morning and my eyes are so big and puffy, it’s looks as if I’d been crying my heart out all night before
