Love this pure deal from Nine West


I can't believe how expensive purses are these days, especially if you want one made of real leather. I found one at Nine West that is on sale for about $70 and is real leather. It's also quite large and would go well with my clothes for fall. It actually looks somewhat similar to a new Ralph Lauren bag that I saw in a current fashion magazine, except that one had some animal print patterns on it.

I've actually been really low on cash, but I'm thinking it might be worth getting after payday!

Record Album purses






I have a friend who buys a lot of old record albums at auctions and flea markets and we have been talking about making purses out of record albums to sell. I have been working on several designs. Today I looked on the internet and I found that there are several designs available. I would like to try some of these. I.m wondering how some of these people cut into the actual records without shattering them?

T-shirts have great shape at Balenciaga Resort!


Here's a look that might be fun to try to recreate. These t-shirts are really interesting with their asymmetrical design.

Project Runway is back!



Well, Project Runway is back at 9pm on Wednesday nights on the Bravo channel. You can also get pictures and other highlights at www.bravotv.com. The new group of designers are very talented and most of the clothes were pretty cute. The first challenge was to make a dress from stuff bought in a grocery store. Most of the designers bought tableclothes and incorporated them into the design somewhere. The winner bought vacuum cleaner bags and coffee filters and hand dyed them to make the cute dress shown here.

Love this style from The Style Scout


I love this girl's look. The hair style is really artistic and the skirt looks new and hip with its shorter length and silver-button belt. I have an old pleated skirt from a thrift store that I am inspired to hem shorter and add some buckles and studs to make it look "in" for the fall season!

Dramatic false eyelashes from Shu Uemura





Even though I don't know where I would ever wear such a thing, I absolutely love the dramatic eye makeup that I've been seeing lately in the fashion magazines. Some of the greatest false eyelashes are made by Shu Uemura and are available in the US at www.shuuemura-usa.com. Here's some examples:
