She's Hungry For some Chanel

"The best things in life are F R E E. . the second best are expensive." - Coco Chanel

I Don't know what it is about Chanel or why I never paid any attention to them earlier but over the past couple months I have become OBSESSED with the flap bags. I have other bags and items from other designers like Oscar De La Renta, Missoni, Michael Kors, Gucci and Dior just to name a few but, I have yet to have anything Chanel besides a Shirt and i'm craving one bad! I see ladies toting around their nice chanel bags and they just walk with a certain attitude about them maybe it's because they know they have the bag that every girl in the world would like. Those Bitches! I've been looking over and thinking about exactly which one I want and i'm stuck.

I want a New Jumbo Maxi Flap but they run into the 3,000 category. WTH My boyfriend would murder me and feel no guilt for spending $3,000 on a bag. So i've also been looking at meduim flaps but they still don't fill the void in my heart that a maxi would give me. Maybe im being selfish and i should be thankful that I am even allowed to have nice things because many in the world do not.

ahh.. the possibilities.

What bags are making you girl go totally gaga?

NYC Long Wearing Nail Enamel in Big Apple Red Creme


I Don't know about you but there is something about red nail polish that is so chic and delicious. Maybe it's because my favorite color is red but every time someone wears red nail polish I think of classy and red compliments EVERYONE. I always have trouble finding the perfect shade of red, sometimes there are ones where they're too orange or sometimes they're too dark. Well I think i found the perfect Vivid Red and it was only 99 cents! What a steal I know! The color is Big Apple Red Creme and it's by NYC. Now I know some people (like me) have had trouble finding their perfect shade of red for their skin tone that's why you turn to Marie Claire and their Hair and Beauty How To's:

Q: I love red nail polish, but not all reds look good on my skin. Any suggestions?

A: Find your best hue with these pointers from New York manicurist Deborah Lippman. If your skin is dark or has golden undertones, bright, true reds look best. To make pink skin look less ruddy, use lighter orange-reds. If you're pale, the contrast of a blue-red is striking. Before polishing, make sure to apply a base coat to prevent stains from setting in.

This color is so perfect for my skin tone. I always love wearing different shades of red because they make your hands look so polished and lets face it red is the perfect pop of color. The color payoff is great I applied it twice just to make sure you couldn't see my nail line underneath and topped it off with Donna Loren's Top Coat because i've tried NYC's top coat and it made my nailpolish crack just a couple hours after I applied it but, hey it was only 99 cents so no sweat off my back :)

Application Tips:

Shake NYC long lasting nail nail polish gently, apply one or two coats, let dry in between coats.

Key Ingredients:

DBP Free, Toluene Free, and free of added formaldehyde

Swatch of NYC Big Apple Red Creme

Quote from Urban Dictionary:
Red Nail Polish: Looks extremely mod and fashionable when applied to nails.
"Red Nail Polish is the only nail polish there is."

Peter Coppola New York Hair Care Sampler

About a year ago I fell in love with a man named Peter Coppola. My love affair first started when I Bought his Xtreme Shaping Mist followed by his Instant Volume Spray and let me tell you i'm hooked! The great thing about Peter's line is his soyagen comlex in his products.

"Peter Coppola Soyagen Complex hair care products were designed for people who wish they had perfect hair. Soyagen Complex formulated for the needs of overprocessed and fragile hair, helps restore damaged hair with a unique formula made up of natural forms of soy. Utilizing only natural soy protein, vitamins and jojoba oil to counteract the stress factors of the hair,
Soyagen Complex provides vital elements for healthy, manageable hair. Peter Coppola's Soyagen Complex is designed to reverse the negative effects that the aging process has on the hair."

I get compliments all the time on my hair. The hairspray and Volumizer work wonders and I will blog about those later
but, first the Sampler:

The Sampler comes in this great little box OBVIOUSLY mine has taken a beating but the products inside are untouched.
The little booklet the sampler comes with with the picture of Soy:

The Peter Coppola Hair Care Sampler:
(L-R: Bodifying Organic Shampoo, Invigorating Daily Conditioner, Volumizing Fixative, Perfecting Styling Gel, Botanical Shaping Mist.)
Summary of Each Product:

Perfecting Styling Gel: Natural Soy Protein, Vitamins and jojoba oils fused together for a flexible hold and natural shine.
Botanical Shaping Mist: Natural Soy Protein, Vitamins and jojoba oils fused for Maximum volume texture and shine.

I have nothing to say but good things about this kit. The different forms of spray help my hair stay in place on a crazy day or touchable soft for when my boyfriend wants to run his fingers through it. The Shampoo and Conditioner have soften my hair and lord knows I needed help because my hair was becoming so damaged. The great thing about PC is he has different kits for different things:
