The Shoulder Bag to Cry On!

Have you ever been stripped of your shoulder bag and had it weighed? This experience recently had mine tipping the scales at over 10 pounds. If losing 10 is as easy as dropping my handbag why am I so reluctant to part. This season, you can't choose who you fall in love with but you can choose the perfect bag(or two) from See by Chloe...Love at Last!

un, deux, trois.. HUIT!

If you haven't experienced the joy of luxurious lingerie...SPLURGE! Often "tiny" these little bits of fabric are made from French lace and Italian imports with a "Large" price tag. Worth every penny treat yourself to labels like Huit, Agent Provocateur and Elle Macpherson intimates. The best revenge after a break up is to treat yourself... Try wearing it during the day it will give you that extra bounce in your step!
