About a year ago, my very favorite mascara ever was discontinued. I quite literally drove around town buying up EVERY LAST AVAILABLE TUBE (all of which were on final clearance and selling for about a third of what I had been paying, which sort of made up for the whole DISCONTINUED part). But I also started to think about how, one day, I would look in the drawer and realize that I needed to find a new mascara.
That day has come, my friends.






This spring, when American fashion designers unveiled their Fall 2008 collections, the mood was conservative and somber. The US is on the brink of a recession, embroiled in an unpopular and seemingly unending war; the price of gas and bread and living is rising daily. The fashion industry felt all of this, not with cuts to the prices of couture pieces, but with a return to conservative, minimalist silhouettes, like the sheath dress for day and evening.
Summer is right around the corner, so it's time to lighten up and look for accessories that will work with your summer wardrobe. May I suggest a white handbag?
