Pursuits of Happiness ♥

A few things I'm really in love with right now :

Coach Madison Large Leather Hippie

+ proceeds from this bag go to The Beauty Bus Foundation which is a non- profit organization which is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for home bound and chronically ill patients and their caregivers.....Which is a great cause for me to help with since I will eventually be working with people with similar issues.

Vintage Louis Vuitton Speedy Bag (or a new one )

+ Some people don't understand the goodness of a vintage speedy. They have loads of character and you are getting an authentic at a cheaper price.

Louis Vuitton Paris City Guide

+ I want to go there so bad! It's my dream. I loved the New York City Guide i got for Christmas from my boyfriend, now i want to read about Paris

I Don't Think They're 'Uggly' At All

Spring 2010 Uggs :

These are the classic short uggs. I am in love with this color (magenta). I think they're very fun a vibrant. I would recommend getting them as soon as possible. They'd be great for early spring when it's still extra chilly out, but you want to wear something cheerful! They are also available in Fern & Ultramarine.

I swear I saw these at the end of Summer 2009 for about $90 in a DSW, and then I never saw them again, maybe they were recalled? (I'll have to look into it) . Anyway these are a different style for those who are not a fan of the traditional Uggs. These would also be great for the springtime! It comes in the colors (three colors to display the inside colors) Black/Grey/Fuschia , Heather Grey and Cream/White/Sand. You can pre order these now at www.nordstrom.com

Time after Time ♥

Just wanted to show you my new baby ♥ . It's a Fossil Women's Watch. Decided to not go with the over powering men's watch, even though they are cute. It's really classy, cute & petite and definately not overpowering. It catches attention, without being extremely flossy ♥

The Juicy'est Sale ♥

I really don't have to go into detail about this one, just go the best juicy stuff while it's on sale...you might find something you've been wanting for quite some time now. Happy Shopping ♥

the french get personal ♥

French designers Louis Vuitton and Longchamp have created a great way to make your bag your own by allowing you to customize your handags or luggage with your initials and/or certain colors and designs. If you want your Louis personalized, your going to be paying a pretty penny ( $940 for the speedy 25 for example, and that doesn't include shipping) . You can choose stripes in different areas of the bag, or just your monogramed initials. I would love to own a personalized Louis, but I think I'll go with something more affordable, like the customized Le Pliage. With the Le Pliage collection you can personalize little cosmetic pouches all the way up to their large totes. You get to choose the size bag you want, handles you want, colors of bag & stripe, zipper pull and then your choice of whether you want your intials or not. There are a lot of colors to choose from, even some of your classic favorites. Both Louis Vuitton Personalizations & Lonchamp Le Pliage Customizations can be ordered on their websites ( www.louisvuitton.com & www.longchamp.com.) Here are some samples in case you need something to jog your ambition to get one ♥

Do A Good Thing ♥

I'm all about peace, doing good deeds, making others feel good and helping others. I'm also all about getting new things and especially new bags. Well i found a way to do both. You have probably heard of the FEED foundation created by Lauren Bush. Their mission is to help fight hunger by feeding children in the world (currently feeding the WFP school feeding operations) through the sale of their bags and other products. The line is not new and has been around for years and now includes various bags such as the FEED 1 , FEED 2 Kenya, and FEED 3 Read bags. They also have little pouches and bracelets as well. Here's a few products :

Feed 1 bag

- available on Amazon for $35 and available on the Feed website for $60

FEED 2 Kenya bag

- this particular one is avaliable at Bergdorf Goodman for $195 but there is another similar version available on the FEED website for $100

FEED 5 bracelets

-available for $15 dollars on the FEED website.

FEED is also donating money to Haiti for every FEED 1 and FEED 2 bag sold on from their website from January until June. So if you've been wanting to help or even if you want a new bag, this would be a great idea, do a good thing ♥

take a bow ♥

Bow's & Bow designs seem to be a trend lately, they're everywhere...and i love it! Here's a few bow pieces from different designers and stores.

Kate Spade

Marc by Marc Jacobs

Forever 21

juicy couture

Betsey Johnson

These are just a few sample bow items, I'm sure no matter where you shop you'll find lots more! ♥

bright and fun ♥

wild leopard ruched dress from forever 21's resort collection.

I think its so fun and different, and I'm definately trying to step outside the box fashion wise this year. I have so many ideas for this dress. Even though it's not basic, it really is because of everything you can do with it. You can make this classy with some pearls, dramatic with large charm bracelets and big jewelry, or even pair it with some patterned tights..oh the possibilities ♥

isn't she lovely ♥

I absolutely love model Chanel Iman and go crazy every time i see her in something new. I came across these pictures. They are from an ad for Schatzuche accessories for H&M. These pictures are so cute, classy and fun, I love it ♥

watch out ♥

As many of you know the whole mens watch trend for girls has been around for sometime now thanks to stars such as Olivia Palermo and many others. Well it's not just men's watches anymore, it's watches in general. Here's a few I'm a fan of.

1. Fossil Boyfriend watch in white
