Another Structured Bag

KATE BOSWORTH'S PURSE

I love Kate Bosworth's leopard-print tote! Where can I get it? – Eliza
Kate is spotted with her new beau – and a $750 Mulberry Clipper bag in leopard!

It's been a while since I bought a structured bag since I don't really need a new one right now. I might buy new bags in the Philippines but for now, I'll settle for my big purse. Anything with enough space will do - it's not as if I should put industrial bearings in it.

Mismatched

HEATHER VS. SARAH JESSICA

The Glee actress keeps her Loft sweater casual with jeans and oxfords in L.A., while the I Don't Know How She Does It star mixes prints with a floral skirt in N.Y.C.

I like SJP's outfit here. I have always admired women who can pull it off wearing clothes with different prints and strut like no care in the world. But I reckon, I'd still be that fussy as if I am sending Bachelorette Party Invitations.

Younger Looking

DREW BARRYMORE

Despite her bright red pants, the actress turned music video director flies under the radar at LAX in a retro-style newsboy cap, rocker tee and cool kicks.

Indeed, this getup makes Drew B look younger. She's like a highschool kid (that's got her car title loans Kentucky). I wonder if she's trying to hide or calling attention to herself.

Match It

MIRANDA KERR

Baby on board! The supermodel mom keep her precious cargo, 7-month-old son Flynn, close – and matching! – in classic stripes, blue jeans (hers are Nobody Denim) and fancy black footwear for their departure from Sydney Airport.

I'm into matching colours of clothes that we wear as a family but I haven't really thought of using patterns. This gave me the idea on my next shopping trip. The person manning the posguys barcode scanner might get a kick of it.

Hair Care Tip

BEACH BABE

Looks like all those bikini shoots have made a big impact on Sport Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover girl Brooklyn Decker! The model turned actress tells PEOPLE, "The best hair product in the world is the ocean water. For me, when I go to the beach – it sounds gross, it probably smells bad – but I don’t wash my hair for a day or two because it’s so wavy and salty and beach-y and you get the natural color from the sun."

I can't say that I like this tip as when I go to the beach my hair just gets stringy and sticky that it begs to be washed. But maybe, if you're into that messy look.. this is a perfect tip. But not so if you're eyeing those Legacy System Operator Jobs.

What's on your Nails?

DAY-GLO PINK

Stars from Emma Stone to Khloe Kardashian are sporting this ultra-hot hue with their wardrobes. To dip a toe into the trend, keep the color on your fingernails, like Selena Gomez, while leaving the rest of your look neutral.

SOFT BLUE

Who says baby blues and pinks should be spring only? Subvert tradition and stand out from a pack of reds and neutrals with this bright, fun shade that is great against fall's hottest jewel tones.

I am not really into nail polish these days. I used to but it takes time to keep them up (not that I am fixing things like gianna rims), I gave up. These are my picks though. Or something orangy-ish would be good too. Anything that enhances my complexion and texture of my skin is good.

Platform Shoes

The shoes that Miranda had here are quite charming. I looked-up the Jimmy Choo site to see the heels but I cant find it. I might not be looking hard enough although they're far more interesting than ATV Tires. I'm considering to buy new shoes but I still can't decide what are those that I want.

MIRANDA KERR

Supermodel Miranda strikes a pose in a fitted leopard-print top and high-waist skirt with towering Jimmy Choo platform sandals at a David Jones store in Melbourne, Australia.

Non-sense

You Are No Nonsense

You are a well rounded and competent leader. People turn to you when times are tough. You are very strict with yourself. You know that it's important to stay on task and not lose focus. You are a planner. Whenever possible, you don't leave much to chance. You are athletic, even if it doesn't come naturally to you. You like to compete.

The Popsicle Test

Blogthings: Learn Something Surprising About Yourself

Indeed! Which is somewhat annoying as some people tend to play around with words and get into the detail but all I am really interested is the bottom line or the most important thing. Though, the role can be reversed at times as well and it will be my time to get annoyed. Play-back is fun or something else rather. As long as everyone think that from time to time, choosing Big Agnes Fly Creek Tent or something like is part of the job, it will be relaxing.

Black Wedge

ALL BUTTONED UP
Kate goes from princess to preppy in a gold-buttoned navy Smythe blazer, ruffled top, J Brand jeans and wedge espadrilles to board a plane with her coordinating husband.

I've always wanted to find wedges and espadrille type as well. I really find it hard to look for decent wedges that will fit me within reasonable price as these.


If you think about it, finding nimh rechargeable batteries is easier than looking for nice shoes.

Structured Clutch

SUNSHINE STATE

For the Duchess of Cambridge's trip to Calgary, she ditches her neutral palette for a lemon-yellow Jenny Packham dress, paired with the L.K. Bennett clutch and heels she’s been sporting throughout the trip.

As always, structured clutch doesn't get passed my attention. I particularly like the Duchess' clutch in the photo. I looked up L. K. Bennet collection and found this one.

Nico Clutch
£155.00£125.00
Tan - Natural
he sharp silhouette of the Nico roll clutch adds instant style impact. The woven straw exterior offers distinctive textural interest.

I'm in the lookout for a clutch big enough to hold some basics (not a yoga mat) but this one is really too small. And I am tight in time, I might not be able to find one.
