I would like to share with you this great video I saw at Dream Studio. It’s all about Louis Vuitton bags! Pick your favorite!

Good job MillyDoom!

I read in one of the blogs here a few months ago about showing the contents of your bag. Mine actually varies depending on what bag I’m using. Right now, I’m using my Prada nylon camera bag. It’s just one of those days that I want to keep my hands free so I’m using a long-strapped bag. So here are the things inside my bag:

Louis Vuitton Damier wallet

2 Fino leather card cases

Red zipper coin purse

Travel-sized Hair Doctor

LeClerc compact powder

Guerlain Face Balm

Guerlain Bubble Blush

Kiehl’s Tinted Lip Balm

Laura Mercier Medicated Lip Balm

Dog Key Bag with Coach Bone Keychain

Medicine (asthma, eyedrops, nasal spray, vitamin candy)

I’ll be posting more when I change my bag. Hehe. The contents will definitely change. How about you, what’s in your bag now?

Not all of us can afford to buy real diamonds, sterling silver jewelry or gold accessories. The unreachable prices just gives us that feeling of sadness as we stare at the jewelry store window. Don’t be sad though, there’s always a way to have our own jewelry without hurting our pockets. You also get to customize based on your taste. Popular materials for homemade jewelry are glass beads, crystals, and engraved metal pieces.

When many people begin designing their own jewelry they will start by working with glass beads. That makes sense because these beads are easy to use, colorful and largely inexpensive. You can buy a tube of beads that contains glass beads of many different shapes, sizes and colors or beads that are all in the same color family. It’s almost as if these containers were designed so you don’t have to think about how to put a piece of jewelry together; everything will look good with everything else.

Want something more formal? Try combining some crystal pieces with the beads. It will give that illusion that your jewelry is all made of crystals. Metal pieces with an intricate design also looks expensive.

There are many craft shops now in malls. Making it convenient for those who want to make their own jewelry to find materials. Jewelry making also releases one’s creative side and can also be used as a great family activity. With this also, you can have something that you can really call your own.

Loop diamond earrings with an inner layer of more diamonds are “in” nowadays. It gives an illusion that the whole loop (both inner and outer) are encrusted with diamonds, but in reality it’s just the front and a part of the inner loop have diamonds.

If you look in jewelry shops, you will see a lot of variations of this style. There are different circular shapes, sizes and gold fills available. Also, it’s not just diamonds alone that fill the surface of the earrings but sometimes mixed with other precious stones.

If I were to get my own set or earrings, I prefer just diamonds. Lately though, there’s what they call natural color “chocolate diamonds.” It’s actually champagne colored and quite harder to find like pink and black diamonds. These colored ones adds up more options to my diamond fancy.

Here’s a nice pair with chocolate diamonds that glimmer at the front while white diamonds ice the back. Stunningly beautiful!

Isn’t this devilishly divine?

Glam punk meets rock ‘n’ roll at its best. This edgy skull icon with crossbones mirror compact is fully encrusted and hand set with Swarovski crystals. Pull out this glam mirror day or night and be the talk of conversation.

I have a lot mirrors in my bag. Whatever pouch I pick there’s a mirror of some sorts inside, from a powder compact mirror to a solo hand-held one. I was actually tempted to buy this one, but upon seeing the price I took a step back.

The pricey US$95 tag could set your purses into a fiery hell, but owning it could make you into an angelic diva. Which way will you go?

Stylish, affordable and on trend, Kathy Van Zeeland’s designs are a great complement to any woman’s personal style.

With differing textures, this trendy hobo bag is a must-have handbag this season.

A beautiful yet expensive bag!

Inspired by the Italian Arte Power movement, this unique town bag was designed by Marc Jacobs. It contrasts polka dots with touches of color and stonewashed canvas.

The bag is made from linen and stonewashed canvas with hand-creased, grained leather trimmings and has the signature Monogram acetate viscose lining.

A combination of traditional oriental design and modern fashion, designs made by Vivienne Tam has taken the whole world by storm. Her attractive designs meld the aesthetic and feminine mystique of Asia with the spirit of the modern world.

Some might think that her designs might be too flashy and might not suit the daily fashion need. Well, that’s not the case with this clothing line. The company’s philosophy is “to create harmonious clothing that enhances one’s personality while at the same time provide fashionable clothing for modern women that is beautifully designed, superior in quality, wearable, easy to travel with and affordable.”

Even if they say it’s supposed to be affordable, I still find the pieces pricey.  When end of season sale arrives, after discount, the clothes are still expensive. Surprisingly, with the pricey tag, a lot of women still buy it. With wonderful hand embroidered designs, stunning bead work and flowing silk characterizing the collection, I think it’s a must that every woman should have at least one in her closet.

Check out these wonderful clothes. These are part of the Spring 2007 collection.
