Fur and makeup

I was going to write up something about what I keep in my bag..and the ridiculous amount of money I spend of cosmetics.

I was partially inspired by Maria's brilliant blog Lipstick Masala and the great advice she gives ( I only wish she had started writing before I bought all the make up I have). But during one of my excursions today two things steered me off the subject of makeup :

1- I bought more make up, so I could not think critically about it
2- I bumped into a wedding party, in a church in the center of Rome, and saw this:



I am not against fur..but this creeped me out a bit. First of all it was very warm, and definitely not fur whether. Secondly, I am not sure I love seeing the legs (and head) of the poor animal.

What do you think?

looking at you in the cold

NY today was freezing, sunny,beautiful and incredibly cold. It was so cold that I went against all my rules and bought a pair of Hugg Boots, just to keep my feet warm. I also purchased a fun hat, some makeup and moisturizer..even though it might seem strange, the makeup and moisturizer purchases are directly connected to the outside temperature. It was so cold I had to duck into Bloomingdale's and try some Bobby Brown stuff.
I was really happy with the job that the woman and the counter did, so I decided to purchase.

The overall effect was luminous, natural and yet very effective. Here is a peek, and you can see the bottom of my hat.
