Like, Totally.

I am in need of a new handbag. Well, 'need' might be a stretch! But I've made a pact with myself to have Look Books on hand at all times and none of my current bags fit the bill. So, it looks like I'm in the market for one of these:

The Totally Turnlock Teri from Marc by Marc Jacobs.

I'm a loyal MbyMJ fan. The leather is lovely, the design is smart and the liner is perfection! Just look at it:

My Look Books will be zipped and protected and all my junk can float around in the other interior sections. My trusty BlackBerry (well, PinkBerry) will be on hand at all times in the (totally) turnlock front pockets. Yay!

Buxom, Baby.

I'm SO in love with this Buxom Big & Healthy Lip Balm from Bare Escentuals. I happened upon it by sheer accident when I stopped at Sephora after a long day of shopping to freshen my makeup before heading out for the evening (holy cheap-o, hah).

It's not at all greasy or sticky but kind of smooth and super tingly. I am partial to the Portofino colour (pictured above), which is not at all as dark as it appears. It's a nice way to get colour on your lips without going too matte. Red lips are making a steady comeback and as I am obeying my Cardinal Rule of Fashion (if you participated in the trend the first time, you are too old to do it on the second round), I am looking to tone down the crimson kisser for 2010. Oh, and another awesome bonus? Paraben-free! Whee!
