Prima Classe Luggage Envy

Walking through Miami airpot duty free age 12- I spied a luggage shop with bags and purses that looked so interesting, well, I have never forgotten them.  They looked like they were made from old vintage vellum mariner's sailing maps.  For a long time I called them " the map of the world bags".  Now I know better.  The luxe leather  range is created in Italy and is called Prima Classe- and boy is it ever first class.  I know many crave LV luggage- but honestly it's overdone and so many people have it.  I really think that your taste reflects your class in many ways- in my opinion the best way to travel is :

Halston Heritage Find

I just got lucky today and won this beautiful unworn halston heritage dress from a dropshippers on Ebay- The colour is bermuda blue and I can't wait to wear it with the peruvian gold earrings in my blog from earlier, and gold sandals.  Ebay is really my best friend in these recessionary times- otherwise I would have ended up paying 355$ for this dress - and that's ON SALE!

TURQUOISE STATEMENT

I LOVE THIS LOOK!

EVA MENDEZ RED CARPET

SO HOW DO WE DO IT?

Let's source some affordable Turquoise statement necklaces ranging from

10 $ range to 150 $ range.  All prices displayed below the pictures.

All necklaces are available at present on various sites- mainly Ebay- which sells genuine

turquoise straight from Tibet and China for literally $10 shipping included.

 15.99 $

 132 $

 12.99 $

 40$

35$

So how about the dress?

How do we turn this into a wedding guest/ cocktail/ saturday night look?

We sure can't wear a full length ball gown...

So here is my suggestion of the best dresses out there to show the Décolletage

All are available at:http://shop.ebay.ie/bhexpress/m.html

I think this look should be worn with a nude shoe- a classic nude stiletto or peep toe.

Nude has to match the skin on your feet-

 so if you have tan skin buy a darker tan/ light brown, and if you are pale skinned buy a nude pump with a touch of peach or pink undertone in the shade.  Here are my favourite shoes on sale right now at www.zappos.com- free delivery continental USA! and for me the all important international shipping.

BEBE 129$

ZAPPOS.COM 49$

Peruvian Treasures

24k GOLD AND 18K GOLD FILIGREE PERUVIAN TREASURES

Saturday night makes me think of going out and dressing to impress.  A simple affordable way to dress up any outfit is to wear statement "notice me" gold accessories- and by this I mean to die for 5 inch earrings or a statement antique coin necklace- think Cleopatra here people- that's what you're aiming for!.  And with these little gems it's not hard to do AT ALL! Cleopatra comin at ya!

DON'T BE SHY TO EMAIL AND ASK WHERE THEY CAME FROM!

AND AT 24.99-32.99$ A PAIR!

THEY ARE NOT JUST NECESSARY- THEY ARE AN INVESTMENT!

JLo Look-End of Summer SPARKLE

Okay this has to be one of the best luxe timeless looks ever!

The skirt is by Haute Hippy and retails at $345

Recreating this look will take some work but it's my next project:

So far I have sourced the shoes I want and the skirt!

SOLOTICAS-HIDROCHARME OCRE

HIDROCHARME SOLOTICAS VS HIDROCOR SOLOTICAS

The difference between hidrocharme and hidrocor is that the hidrocor lenses change the colour of the eye less dramatically for a more natural appearence.  They also lack the limbic ring or "black circle" on the outside of the lens- which in my case as my irises are large anyway does not make a difference.  The iris diameter of a solotica lens is 14.8 so if you're smaller than that buy hidrocharme- if you are 14.8 or larger consider hidrocor for the natural effect.

My favourite hidrocor lens is OCRE

It changes dark brown/ black eyes to a believeable hazel brown:

I am wearing OCRES in these photos:

It's NEVER too early to prepare for WINTER!

The last couple of European winters have been harsh!

I live in Ireland at present and there have been record snowfalls the past 2 winters...

The winter before last I defrosted my frozen windscreen on my car every day from:

 Nov 11/2009- Feb 6/2010

Yes- REALLY

Hence my obsession with warm winter coats!

This year is the first year I have decided to buy a full fur stroller coat.

I am buying in August because simply they are at their lowest price RIGHT NOW!

Who's thinking about winter when it's 105 fahrenheit degrees in Texas?

Here is my fur stroller du jour Winter 2011

Enjoy!

-Yesterday I won this Fox Fur SAGA Coat-

I like the feathering and it came from a furrier in Beverley Hills that used to rent furs to the movie studios in the 1960's when all movie stars were under contract to big studios like Paramount or Universal.  I'm excited as some starlet from the studio catalog probably wore this in a movie in the past.  They cold stored it and prepared it for sale:cleaned and glazed !


Okay so my curiosity got the better of me and I had to find out which old hollywood star may have worn this fur I bought, I am SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!! I received this pcture from the company saying they believe this is my fur as worn by non other than Lucille Ball! I feel so honoured to own something she wore!
