Fabulous Friday Finds

I have been using the most amazing blush by Nars that is the perfect shade to brighten any day. And since you can never depend on how the weather is going to turn out here in Canada, that is just what I need! Don't freak out by the name, but it is called Super Orgasm. Nars has a cult following for its original Orgasm blush and Super Orgasm is following it its footsteps. Super Orgasm has more sparkle and shine than the original Orgasm, just right for summer. I love how it brightens up my complexion and makes my tan stand out. Besides, who can resist such a sparkly, coral shade??? I tried my best, but this picture doesn't do the shade justice. Suffice it to say, if you love the original Orgasm blush, you will love Super Orgasm too!



The blush came in a gift set with nail polish at Sephora. And yes, the nail polish is named Orgasm as well. It looks amazing on your toes and extra amazing with just a hint of a tan. I love it!!! I think it is going to be my go to color for my toes this summer. I also like that it stays on and doesn't chip. I think it last me over 2 weeks on my toes and I was at the beach, pool and running on the treadmill. So it seems to take a beating pretty well.

Fabulous Friday Finds

Fabulous Friday Finds is when I let my inner Fashionista shine. Fabulous Friday Finds will be a recurring post about fabulous items,whether they be fashion, makeup, home decor or anything else fabulous, that I find.

I love purses and have a great collection of them. When I was in college, I worked for Coach and received a discount that was just too hard to pass up. During that time, I purchased a number of bags and accessories and I have kept them in excellent condition. I also have other bags from other labels as well, but I would have to say that Coach is probably my favorite. I keep all my bags and accessories organized and protected in my closet. I have even taken pictures of them, just for good measure. Jay swears when I am not looking, he is going to sell them on eBay. But, if he knows what is good for him, he won't!

One of the most coveted bags is the Hermes Birkin Bag. If I had a completely disposal income, I would have one, but alas, I don't have the kind of disposal income it takes to purchase one and there is usually a waiting list for them. The "Birkin" bag is a hand-built purse from Hermès, named after the actress Jane Birkin. The Birkin typically costs more than $6,500 and can take up to 48 man hours to make. They bags distributed to Hermès boutiques on unpredictable schedules and in limited quantities, thereby creating scarcity and exclusivity. Hence, the waiting lists.



NEWSFLASH!!!!! Hermes Birkin Bags No Longer Have A Waiting List!!!
It would appear that the Hermes Birkin bag, the most unattainable It bag in fashion history, is not immune to the current recession.

A called placed to Holt Renfrew (the closest boutique selling Hermes) at 1300 Rue Sherbrooke Ouest in Montreal, did in fact confirm that there is no longer a waiting list, and if I wanted to I could stop in and pick one up today! Too bad I am cleaning and waiting for a no-show French instructor or I just might have jumped in the car to pick one up! Just kidding Jay!! With this in mind, it now appears that anyone with the cold hard cash to do so can join the ranks of Hollywood starlets and fashionistas everywhere by carrying their very own Birkin.
