Ha på sig

Jag köpte mitt första Hermes Herbag anta det' är D mitt privata nöje. Den mer subtler systern av en iögonfallande Kelly med kick-karat maskinvara och räcka-att sy, den avbrutna Hermes Herbag lappas samman med rå-kantat läder, rostfritt stålmaskinvara, och en rubberized kanfas förkroppsligar. En Hermes Herbag är så säkert oförsiktig, så immodestly blygsamt, så subtly sexigt. Så primat.

Och som synes gammala fågelungar på Rodeo kör, Firkin pimps på kanalgatan, och dudes, som uttalar ”Het” i Hermes, instämm: alla gräver mitt 40cm Herbag.

Naturligt debatterade jag bränning min Hermes Herbag eller köpande varje Hermes Herbag i existens. Jag har avgjort att sistnämnden är mer realistisk, så jag låste fast upp denna Hermes 30cm Herbag i svart…

Önska

Jag endast besvärar någonsin köpande en boka, i stället för att nedladda den, när jag kan finna en billig första upplaga, eller det finns något som är sinnligt om boka som makes det det värda innehav.

Något liknande Piska-täckte pingvinklassiker för räkning Amberg.

Så mycket, som jag älskar jazz, behandla som ett barn, Den stora Gatsbyen är ett förloradt, ingen materia hur fint stylized dess språk och läder täcker är. Oscar Wildes En föreställa av Dorian grå färg är primat. Skulle Dorian har uppskattat detta Räkningen Amberg piska-begränsar bokar, som han var ett ageless härligt hedonist galet för collectibles.

Bortsett från his som mördar hans vän, frekventerar opiumhålor och har homosexuella tendenser (I-förmiddag inte en bög som endast ofta är förvirrade med en), gillar jag för att föreställa att Dorian och jag var mycket likadan…,

Hata

Med Den Sony Ericsson ”Pureness” mobilen ringer, kan berättar du endast tala, text och tiden. Hur refreshingly enkelt.

Only that means in place of my iPhone I’ll also have to stuff my Hermes bag with an Amazon Kindle, laptop, digicam, and small recording device that plays a “We’re sorry, you have reached a number that has been disconnected…” message like the “Disconnected” iPhone app. (Feel flattered if you’ve heard that after dialing my number–it means you’ve made an impression.)

Sony’s take on complicated minimalism is inspiring. I’ll also take my stereo, AC, and lights out of my Porsche, drive around with a boombox and battery-powered fan, and just lean out my window and shine a flashlight down the road at night…

Hating

I dig that RAW Natural Beauty makes multi-use mineral makeup: loose powder foundation that dusts on sheer and builds into a concealer, a highlighter/blush duo that works on your lips and lids, and RAW Natural Beauty bronzer that triples as eyeshadow and contouring color. Not only does RAW Natural Beauty perform with high pigment — RAW Natural Beauty swears its eco-friendly minerals nourish your skin.

Still, you can imagine what RAW Natural Beauty Mineral Glow looked like, even applied as advised, on my SPF 1,000,000+ porcelain skin — it made me look dirty.

Which, I must admit, I usually appreciate…

Wanting

If you believe RAW Natural Beauty, not only does the RAW Natural Beauty eyeshadow trio in “Artic” create a killer smoky eye, but their mineral makeup’s age-defying active botanicals will ensure I’m still smoking when I maintain my daily face in my 50s. Not that anyone’ll know I’m 50.  Lying about one’s age is cheap, but so’s advertising it.

I know, I’m wise for a 19-year-old…

Using

RAW Natural Beauty sent me their RAW Natural Beauty mineral foundation kit. Even priced free, I’m skeptical about a foundation that requires three types of loose powder and two brushes. I dig Senna’s mineral powder foundation not because it’s natural — c’mon, I use a prescription face cream with an active ingredient banned by Japan — but because it works very well, very fast.

I tried RAW Natural Beauty mineral foundation anyway. I trashed its DVD — forgive me, lovely publicist — and skipped any instructions. The result? The mineral makeup went on fairly fast, and finished flawlessly. You can build RAW Natural Beauty mineral foundation from sheer coverage into total concealer. (You can also get 50% off with promocode DISCOVERY50.)

Which is lovely, but how would I touch up when my pursuit of natural beauty involves an appointment with needles in 90210?

You know, should I ever consider such a thing…

Hating

I’m so bummed this Halston ultrasuede shirt dress and its matching hat and bag are sold, though the likelihood of me covering my bobbed hair or trading my Kelly bag to wear either is low. Sometimes I want to buy beautiful things just so other people who appreciate them less can’t have them; instead of giving away or selling old clothes sometimes I just shred them to pieces.

It’s a good thing I generally don’t like pets…

Wanting

I’m very vain, but I’m very lazy, which is why I stick to my uniform: smoky eyes, burgundy bob, silk jersey tank dress, Kelly bag, and satin slippers. Done.

Still, lately I’m loving Halston’s iconic ultrasuede shirt dresses — I’m a sucker for sexy texture, and ultrasuede is easier to clean than the slew of made-to-order dresses I’m always feeding sushi to.

This lavender Halston ultrasuede shirtdress is sitting at the Met, but there’s a choice purple Halston ultrasuede skirt suit on sale…

Wearing:

I’ve had a Norma Kamali-like shawl-collar wrap coat made into a different color for every season: chocolate tropical wool, blue sueded cotton, gray winter wool, etc…

But I’m eying this choice Halston ultrasuede robe coat.

You’re right, I need another minimalist wrap coat like I need another hand-etched, “K” initial pinky ring.

I’m buying it…
