Hand"GAG" Or Tutu...Mr Louboutin?



















Christian Louboutin Tutulle Satin Strass Clutch
This luxurious satin and tulle design looks like a mini tutu! We are doing this weekly section on HandGAGS because we don't know what designers are thinking and at such ridiculous prices. Does this look like a bag you'd want to take to a party or special event? Maybe we're missing something but this bag looks like a piece of a tutu that dropped to the floor from a ballet recital.The bag looks even worse open. We think you could find a copy of this clutch at your local toy store for a lot less money. We love Christian Louboutin but we think this is a definite Hand"Gag". We're sure you have better ways to spend $875.00. If this is a must-have then click the link to shop.

Guest Blogger Thefind.com Loves a Neutral Slate for Spring!


A Neutral State for Spring


Go nude this spring. Pinky shades of beige are all the rage this season and make for the perfect warm weather wardrobe. Neutral shades of beige complement either an all nude shaded ensemble or a black and white combination. Add a
nude-toned handbag, statement necklace or strappy tied sky high sandals to add a feminine touch of romance to your look.

For a glam grecian look, this Stella McCartney one-shouldered belted jersey dress ($845 at Net-a-Porter) whispers effortless style. Perfect for a night out on the town or a daytime wedding. The design can be slipped on easily and features a tulip hem with dramatic draping effect on the back. Draw some attention to your neckline with a pretty bejeweled necklace that oozes sweetness. This vintage inspired Sequin Crystal & Enamel Floral Necklace ($188 at Nordstrom.com) features muted pastel colors on a goldtone chain. The embellished flowers are made of crystal, glass, enamel and mother of pearl. Nude has gone glimmery with this Salvatore Ferragamo Miss Vara Metallic Leather Bow Tote, ($1,250.00 at Net-a-Porter). A feminine metallic leather tote that simply oozes charm. This bow embellished tote is roomy enough for all of your everyday essentials, the perfect daytime bag for this spring's neutral trend. For girls who love sky-high heels, Proenza Schouler's Perforated leather platform sandals, ($1,035 at Shop Bop) will kick your style factor up a notch. The perforated nude leather platform
Proenza Shouler sandals make an ideal pairing with your modern daytime look. If you are adverse to towering platforms try these lovely Lanvin flats on for size. Below these Lanvin Patent leather ballerina flats ($515 at Net-a-Porter), you'll find a 1 inch heel hidden inside for a subtle lift. The elasticized trim on these classic flats that work perfectly with everything from skinny jeans to a summer shirt dress.

Behind Every Josie Marin Lipstick Is A Recycablel Tube!

We're always on the search for the perfect lipstick and we have draw fulls to prove it! We've finally found one that offers it all!
Josie Marin's lipsticks are gorgeous and come in a recyclable tube. So fabulous for the chic and environmentally conscious! The lipstick colors are great while featuring a lip conditioner which contains natural ingredients such as Joba Seed and Coconut Cream to help condition your lips. This lipstick comes in 9 very natural shades. Our favorites are:Flirtatious, Adventurous and Mysterious.


To make your lips feel even better there is no animal testing. View this fabulous site to learn more about Josie Marin Cosmetics.
All Josie's products have a label system explaining what they contain, how they are tested,what is recyclable, fragrance free, toxin free, biodegradable and more. Many of Josie's products including her lipsticks contain Argan oil which does amazing things for your skin and hair, "it's use impacts the world in a very positive way. By sourcing our Argan Oil exclusively from the women’s cooperatives, we help support their social and economic welfare and also protect the Argan forests". How many lipsticks can boast about that! I'd say Josie Marin lipsticks and cosmetics have it all.

Flip Flopping!


Last year I bought these ever-so cool Prada Flip Flops in black patent leather with this fabulous matching cosmetic case. I absolutely loved the flip flips and wore them all summer long. They were so comfortable with the rubber sole and looked great with the thick patent leather thong. I liked them so much I tried to get another pair but OF COURSE they were sold out. My daughter loved the matching cosmetic case for work...so, it was an even better deal. To my amazement I just saw them online again. They're now available in gold or silver metallic. I'm so excited! I just need to decide which color to buy. Although they are pricey for flip flops...they are adorable, comfy, wear well and come with a case for your suntan lotions, creams, sunscreen etc.. Sounds like a deal to me...only this year I'm keeping the cosemetic case! Shop these must-have thongs!

Prada's Crinkled Tissue Paper Hobo or Hand"GAG"?

Hand"GAG" or Crinkled Tissue Paper. You decide!

We love the new Prada Collection except for this shapeless Nappa Antique Hobo bag. This bag looks like a crinkled piece of tissue paper. There is absolutely no style to this hand bag and definitely looks like it needs to be pressed!

The shoulder strap is too short and looks like a style for the Queen of England! Can't you just see her carrying this handbag! If you choose to buy this wrinkled lambskin hobo...pair with a wrinkled cotton shirt and wrinkled pants and you have the look to match your bag. If you desire to spend almost $1800..then click on the link to purchase. We think this is just another HAND"GAG"! Shoes & Handbags

Are You A Jet Setter?

JET SET WATERPROOF EYE LINER
We love wearing a traditional brown eyeliner everyday. If you're like me and wear very little makeup..this is perfect. It opens up your eye, looks ever-so natural and lasts all day.
This waterproof gel-based liner stays blendable for 60 seconds then dries to a smudge-proof finish so you can create that must-have smoky eye!
JET SET is also perfect for lining the inner rim of the eye. Glides on super easy with the ARCED LINER BRUSH #21. Choose from a selection of great eyeliner colors. We especially love this color brown as it works with all eye colors! Shop Best Sellers on Smashbox. shop smashbox cosmetics online

Guest Blogger Thefind.com Attends NYFW and Meets......

Gossip Girl Designer Lorick Flaunts Flirty Frocks at New York Fashion Week!
This past Wednesday I had the pleasure of attending designer Abigail Lorick's New York Fashion Week presentation for Fall 2010. You may have seen past Lorick Collections which gained noteriety as Eleanor Waldorf's label on Gossip Girl.
Housed in downstairs in the Union Ballroom, the descent down the stairs led to a dimly lit room where editors and press gathered to view Lorick's conection inspired by angels in cocoons. The key to this collection is layering, layering and more layering. The pairing of lighter sheer fabrics layered underneath heavier fabrics (raw silk) gave a youthful feel to her dresses and separates.The palette was definitely neutral, but still dramatic - taupes, black, and gold metallics accented with flashes of gray and green played throughout.
Overall the collection was very well executed with a youthful, creative and uptown energy. The styling consisted of eclectic accessories which added an additional layer of interest. Think modern day flapper chic - long brightly colored gloves in orange, green, and black. Ginormous feather headpieces, bows and hats graced the model's wild untamed hair. Ankle booties and
wedge platform sandals were worn over glittery metallic semi-sheer tights, and black opaque tights giving gravity to the whimsical designs. Statement necklaces appeared as beaded collars and layered strands of baubles, pearls and gold chains. Embellishment was added with accessories to the otherwise very clean cut silhouettes of the clothing. Hemlines were thigh high and exuded the charming youthful appeal.

HandGAG or Shark's Tooth? What Was Alexander Wang Thinking?

Darla Pyramid Clutch by Alexander Wang

Shark's Tooth Or HAND"GAG"? You Decide!

We love Alexander Wang but this bag is absolutely ridiculous. It belongs in a shark's mouth! Definitely not on our must-have list.
It looks like a Shark's tooth or an overweight Boomerang. We're not even sure how to carry it! One of our least favorite bags. If you feel this boomerang shaped shark's tooth bag is a must- have ...click the link to shop!

Guest Blogger Thefind.com Shares Her Wish List!

A Fashionista's Valentine's Day Wishlist

If you were to ask me what I want for Valentine's Day. I would be able to give you a definitive wish list. My tastes are very simple and few. Chocolate, jewelry, and handbags. Not necessarily in that order, but there you have it.
Nothing makes me happier than a steaming sweet hot cup of cocoa, except maybe a new pair of Louboutins! A sip of decadent chocolate on a dreary winter's day can work miracles. My favorites are Bianca and Parisienne, both from
Vosges. Bianca is a white chocolate tinged with lavender and Parisienne is an essence of dark chocolate with a touch of vanilla. In the shoe department, I've got my eye on these Lanvin Pom-pom thong sandals ($585 at Net-a-Porter). A flat espadrille with Lanvin's now signature pom-pom for the season. What fun these will be for spring with matching coral toe polish! Love love love. To collect coins for parking meters a Marc Jacobs python-effect leather wallet, ($375 at Net-a-Porter) is perfectly pretty in pink with this season's requisite pyramid studs. The bright pink shade will make finding this wallet in the depths of my black handbag a snap! A favorite scent of mine is Lolita Lempicka $44 at Sephora, it is sweet with anise and vanilla while smoky with sandalwood at the same time. Pairs perfectly with the scent of the Vosges hot cocoa. Yum! An extra special Valentine's treat would be an Hermès Extra wide enamel bracelet ($660.00 at Hermes.com). I'd layer this with assorted gold toned bangles. Perhaps someone will surprise me with this bracelet on February 14th? Fingers crossed!
Happy Valentine's Day!
