Inge Christopher Bag




Found a great satin bag today!

This is an Inge Christopher Wristlet with delicate beading on the front. This bag is feminine and flirty! The color is fiery and perfect to brighten up the typical black cocktail dress! I love the quality of the metal hardware which makes the bag very east to open. I have seen Inge Christopher designs in several fashion magazines with great reviews.

I'm going to wear this once or twice then I'm going to pass it on to the next diva!

Anuschka Wallet







Found a great wallet today! This is a brand which I had to research, however, I am impressed with the hand painted leather! This wallet is soft and luxurious to the feel with great hardware. The artwork is strong, distinctive with vibrant color. I read that the artwork is painted in multiple layers giving it an amazing dimension of color.

What is so great is that early on, the company recruited young artists and trained them to create these wonderful bags giving them a model by which to develop business and entrepreneur skills. Today, these painters are able to utilize that they learned to make a good living and provide for their families. What a wonderful skill to have!

I searched for the exact pattern which is actually called "Paisley Bronze". Unfortunately, there are very few places to find this design! There are three currently on the market which are all very attractive.

Catch the sale online at Ebay!

Caribbean Soap


I can say that I had a great time while I was in Philly!

I purchased several items including Castile Soap. My Mom states that my Grandma used this soap to remove blemishes. I tried it this morning and I feel like it took away that oily feeling, however, I hope it did not take off too much of my natural oils!

Im going to try another round tomorrow and see what happens...
