  1. cool post, whata great idea! love both outfits and faces, plus I have bag envy on top of the makeup envy hehe.

    how do you find eurydice? does the purple side have some blue/opal reflects? I'm on the fence about that one!

  2. Great post! I'm also having bag envy. :)
    I thought I was going to be able to resist the new Chanel polish, *sigh* but I may need Diabolique now.

  4. Great outfits and bags! I've added your blog to my list of faves. I love that you're not reviewing the exact same beauty products many of the other beauty blogs are!

    Just curious, was that Dior cosmetics case a GWP? I wonder if I can still find it since I have a few itemsId like to get! =P

  5. Love the Ocelot cardigan- it washed me out big time, I ended up getting the leopard print red/black cardi from Express. The print is about the same size as the JCrew cardi, but a little more geometric, if that makes sense. Very cute! I love "What's In My Purse" blogs!

  6. Hi Em! I really like Eurydice, the purple does have some blue/opal reflects but it still shows up more purple.

    Lisa/Stefanie, thank you for your comments!

    Connie, glad you like the blog! Do you have one? The Dior case was a GWP with Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale last July, but they have GWPs every now and then.

    Marley - I think I have seen the Express version of the cardigan - but that was after I already bought and wore the Jcrew one. I should probably scope out the fashion blogs more before I buy!

  8. Hi Lina,

    You have very cute taste! Happy Monday.

  9. I LOVE your MiuMiu bagand your LV Damier Azur wallet! <3

    The Chanel e/s palette seems to consist of gorgeous shades of neutral browns. Very pretty!

  11. handbag sneak peak! YESSS~ I'm so bad to love to look into others' bag @_@
    Hey, are those L'Occitane handcreams heavily scented? Becoz I'M looking for a cream that soaks in a blink and isn't too scented. I rub my eyes a lot and any fragrance too close to my eyes makes them watery and itchy

  12. I have bag and wallet envy like whoa now =/ lol!

    So those L'Occitane hand creams are nice? Because I passed by the boutique today and saw that set you mentioned. I should consider it - my hands crack like crazy in the fall/winter.

  13. Thanks girls for your sweet comments. Both those bags are oldies from around 2004-05ish? They've held up pretty well.

    The L'Occitane Hand Creams are really nice. My nose is super picky and I don't like sticky hand creams. Nothing works as well as the L'Occitane Hand Creams and while they are scented it's not strong.

  14. Awesome post! I LOVE your blog! I wouldn't change a thing! ( as an aside, don't let the JEALOUS (meaning the cowardly anomymous) bother you. As far as I'm concerned, if you don't have anything good to say you are probably jealous! That has been my experience, anyway..

    Also, I've been meaning to tell you that you should just buy ALL of the Edward Bess products! I did and I haven't regretted it for a second! You already seem to really appreciate his meticulous attention to detail and his eye for refined beauty. And the packaging is SUBLIME! It would make a lovely addition to your outstanding beauty collection!
