CLUTCHES
THAT WON'T BREAK YOUR PIGGY BANK

(OK, maybe just a little!)




$14.99 - ISAAC MIZRAHI FOR TARGET

Isaac Mizrahi's clutch Case is very cute in this warm Crocodile Brown (faux of course).









$15 - HELLO KITTY BEADED PURSE

Steal it from your younger cousin ! It looks much better on you !



$39.99 - JCREW


Too bad the tweed clara clutch is sold out online! Good luck to all your girls who are going to run around every Jcrew trying to find out! or you can just take a look in grandma's closet and you're bound to fall upon something quite similar...








(I know there is a big jump from $39.99 to $168, but I will try to find something intermediary and I am open to suggestions in the meantime!)


$168 - MARC BY MARC JACOBS

I'm not normally a fan of handbags and leather goods by Marc Jacobs, but this soft leather flap clutch has a very appealing colour which is perfect for winter and has alot of inside pockets for you to store all your essentials and more!











$225 - R&Y Agousti

I wasn't fond of this clutch by R&Y Agousti, but the purple eel-skin intrigues me and the colour is quite hypnotic.








$1995 - YVES SAINT LAURENT LEOPARD PRINT CALF-HAIR MINAUDIERE

I WANT IT !

I WANT IT !

I WANT IT !

I WANT IT ...







$275 - YVES SAINT LAURENT LEOPARD PRINT CALF-HAIR COIN PURSE

...But I'd settle for this! Bellisimo !
Golden Glams

Say what you want about Nicole Richie, but I think she looks stunning..that’s the least you can say about someone who undergoes such a radical transformation !



One can't mention Nicole without talking about her twin sister...They both look amazing here ! I'm so happy that Lindsay gave up the blond mane ! She looks so much better this way !

Everything is perfectly glamorous, beautifully coiffed hair, chic accessories, golden tan and the Judith Leiber clutch by Rachel Zoe which can be yours for
$7995.00.

I find this bag to be simply an eyesore but the longer you stare at it, the more your eyes become accustomed to it and it doesn't like half bad anymore. But still...those snakes awfully look worms to me....ewww

~*~*~*~ VIKTOR&ROLF for H&M ~*~*~*~

NOVEMBER 9th

Raquel Zimmerman

I don't know about you guys ! But on Thursday November 9th I am hitting the nearest H&M ! I already know what I'm buying ! A gorgeous shirt-dress in navy blue with ruffles (79,90€). I saw the picture in ELLE France, it's so cute. But in a few days they're going to put up the whole collection on the website. The trench sported by Raquel is also quite tentalizing...The red taffetas jupe-boule is exquisite for the sylphs out there !

Truth be told, I used to be quite reluctant to search for hours through the never ending racks of H&M. But a very wise person once explained to me that once you know what to look for and you define your style it's very easy to find what you're looking for at H&M! Now I'm an addict ! And I need a hit every week; it's quite easy to reapprovisionmyself since I have 3 H&M's nearby, the furthest one being at 10min walking distance!

Isn't the cover of WWD gorgeous? The new add campaign shot by Inez van Lamsweeerde and Vinoodh Matadin! With the famous 250€ or so wedding dress.

MAKEUP

My favourite looks from FW06/07 ! You're going to notice I'm pretty obsessed with a few brands ! It's only because I've tested and loved them ! I will try to vary on my brands though !

CELINE

You have to try this one!

Mac eye shadow in Electra (14€)

or shu uemura drawing pencil in silver ($18)

I have the limited edition fineshine lustre from mac for this! It’s more sparkly thought not as mat



ALBERTA FERRETTI

So classy but so simple to achieve!

Try the gold lemon pigment from mac (19€)

and coquette eye shadow (14€)

I love this look!

So beautiful for night time!

So beautiful for any time !!!!





D&G

Awww….cute as buttons!

Use Mr Frosty from Benefit! ($18)

It has allure magazine editors’ stamp of approval!






VIKTOR & ROLF

So beautiful! So gorgeous!

Or is it that way just because it’s on Gemma Ward? hmm…tough one

I love Shu Uemura’s liquid eyeliner! ($32)

It reminds me of fountain pens we had to use in school ! (No! I’m not ancient! I was in the French system!)






YVES SAINT LAURENT

Rachel and I simply love this look.

It’s so natural, discreet and cute.

Mac’s relaxing frost eyeshadow pressed powder (14€) is ideal!
