Prada has also created a beautiful varied collection this year. I used to like their nylon bags more than I do now, but I will certainly make an exception for the couple of beautiful nylon bags featured this season =)… especially since they are made in my fave color (purple). I’m still trying to decide …
2008 Chanel Handbags Collection
I love the purple leather that’s popular this season. They have some really great bags in their current collection!
Gold Python Shoji Clutch & Bronze Leaf Shoulder Bag
I love this clutch by Shilvy. She’s a very talented handbag designer. I don’t know when she plans to re-stock this item =(. I wonder what she is up to these days? There’s a bunch of items that I would love to see re-stocked or brought back because they are a “must have.” See pic …
Bird Pincushion Florenza
My newest bird Florenza… I missed out on it months ago and held onto the hope that someone somewhere still had one to auction off. I searched for it nearly daily too! I love the blushy pink of the pincushion and that it has “springy” legs. It’s on my desk right now keeping me company …
Pretty Dinnerware & Glasses
I love Horchow’s Fleur de Lis dinnerware! It’s accented with textural fleurs-de-lis, made in Portugal, handcrafted in soft tones of pale blue or cafe au lait, and dishwasher and microwave safe. I am still using my Sango Nova Brown set and like it very much, but I can’t deny the Horchow set is really pretty. …
Hosiery Splurge vs. Steal
While Wolford is known for their ultimate luxury in hoisery, if you are looking for quality less the more expensive price tag, try Victoria’s Secret and Kushyfoot as two great alternatives. Kushyfoot actually incorporates “reflexology” in their trouser and knee highs, foot covers, and tights. It truly feels like “a massage with every step” (they …

Some of these stores have gorgeous clothing on their sales racks!
Spoon Restaurant
I had a really nice dinner here with my family back in July. The interior reminded me of a Manhattan restaurant in suburbia, equipped with a sushi station along the back wall. I have absolutely no complaints about this restaurant. They really won me over. Everyone agreed the food was really tasty. The food presentation …
How To Buy Nothing & Housekeeping (Self-Improvements)
*Reference: http://www.wikihow.com/Buy-Nothing* I found a really good self-improvement article that I’d like to share. It takes strong will and lots of dedication to achieve shopping self-control, but I think it’s not impossible. There have been times when I was amazed and realized I actually didn’t feel that sorry about walking away from something that initially …
Japonica Shoes by Japan’s Barclay
Japonica shoes are surprisingly very comfortable and have a boldly unique design of east meets west. I have heard this collection has created quite a “following” since their introduction in 2002. I’ve been very lucky to find my size still on sale (that’s the best feeling). The only store that offers them in the U.S., …
