beauty matters

Longchamp Fad

You see people side by side each other carrying the same brand of bag – Longchamp – but in different colors and designs. My sister owns one in tangerine. She bought it from a groupon site and was her Christmas gift to herself last year. It was supposed to be teal but the groupon site made a mistake. Returning the item was such a hassle so she stick with the color she got.

Anyway. So I see lots of people carrying this type of bag. And honestly, I do not see the difference between the original ones and those inspired by the originals. The original one costs about $150-200 while the latter may be bought at less than $20. My sister bought her at 50% discount from the groupon site and up until now, I wonder how could that be possible. Either this bag is really over-priced in the market or the groupon site sold the inspired-version not the original.

I simply want to say that I do not get why people got so into this tote. I heard some collected all the colors available. Why? Even if I have the money, I do not like this bag because it lacks form for me. Everything just goes to the bottom. And its material, it is simply nylon, what is so special with that? Plus you see it almost everywhere!

Maybe it is just me. How about you, what is your take about Longchamp totes?

I Miss Dressing Up

I think I am hormonal again. Our of the blue, I rummaged my closet and checked on my dresses. I miss wearing them. I have been the shirt and jeans person for quite some time now because it is comfortable plus it helps me move freely. So the dresses were neglected. I miss wearing a dress so much that I found myself browsing for elegant and fashionable gowns online. Not that I will have a need for one soon, they just satisfy me, specially the Sydneyscloset.com prom dresses. No, I am not a plus size but their designs are gorgeous!

Stand out with Picasso Stone Beads

Picasso beads always generate a great deal of interest because of their uniquely stylish patterns. The lines and other color patterns embedded in these stones make them natural marvels that seize the attention of anyone who lays eyes on them. These patterns are the result of the application of pressure and heat and they are simply extraordinary.

Because the patterns within these Picasso stone beads come from the forces of heat and pressure, no two of these beads are going to be exactly alike. This makes these beads all the more intriguing. Strings
of identical beads have their place but a string of beads where each bead is a new discovery captures the imagination in a way that few pieces of jewelry can. Picasso stone beads are the perfect choice when
you want to give life to a creation that can never be matched.

These beads come in several different color combinations so they can be used in many different jewelry pieces. The shapes and sizes are variable too so these factors do not limit your creativity in
working with Picasso stone beads either. This type of bead has a strong association with protection and many people choose these beads for that reason in addition to their overt visual appeal.
