Golla Digi Bag

Golla Digi Bag - Pixel-L Black




I have had my Sony Digital camera for almost two years. I never purchased a camera bag for it. Today I found a cute camera bag at Black's . All of the Golla Digi camera bags were on sale for $9.99 (regular price $19.99). I narrowed it down to this bag because of the interesting pixel image. This bag was marked down to $4.99. The salesperson said that it was cheaper as it was the last one. Great deal!!!

Is Grey The New Black?



Last night I met up with a friend of mine for drinks. When she sat down the first thing that I noticed was her gorgeous grey Matt & Nat bag. I commented that I loved the colour and that I never owned a grey bag. I decided that would be my next purchase.

This morning I realized that I did purchase a grey bag last year, but I no longer had the bag. I did not have a problem with the colour. I just did not like the bag anymore. It was one of those foolish impulse buys.

Maybe grey can become my new black.

Fall Trend Report 2009

It is that time of year when summer clothes and shoes are drastically reduced and fall items start popping up in the stores. In Toronto, we are finally getting summer weather. I am not mentally ready to think about what I am going to wear or accessorize with in the next few months. I went into Winners today and I saw winter gloves. It is just too soon.

I look forward to the September issues of fashion magazines. It is the biggest issue of the year. I have already received Lucky and Flare. I will have to get Vogue when it is available. It is the only issue I buy all year. It takes me months to read it, but I love the ads.

Bamboo Expandable Pencil/Pen Holder

I purchased this Bamboo Expandable Pencil/Pen Holder with 5 compartments from Winners on Saturday.


Lipper International Inc,
#807 Expandable Pencil Holder
Dimensions: 7-1/2w x 4-1/4d x 4h expands to 12"w

I thought that it would be a great way to organize my makeup. I have a large makeup case for eye shadows, blush, bronzer and powder. I had another container for lipgloss and anything else I threw in there. Now I know what I have and it is easy to see.

I Need A Fairy Godmother


I need a fairy godmother that can magically make comfortable shoes in my size appear. I think salespeople in shoe stores know that they will not be able to make a sale, that is why they don't try to help me. Last year I bought a pair of shoes from Balisi on College Street in Toronto. I went into the store and it was packed so I left. I returned a couple hours later and it was not busy. I explained to the staff that I hate buying shoes and I cannot find anything in my size and I don't wear heals. A salesperson found me a pair of shoes that I did not think would fit or be comfortable. I love that pair of shoes, but I can't wear them in the summer.

I bought one pair of shoes this year and they are so uncomfortable. Shoes always feel good in the store, but once I wear them outside the pain is unbearable. I cannot find anything that I like that fits. There are so many end of season sales on right now and I am stuck wearing ugly sandals.

I am planning to visit the store again to see if I can find another pair of shoes.

Concealer Royale

This past week I sadly finished my YSL TOUCHE ƉCLAT Radiant Touche Concealer. I did not realize how good it was until I used my other concealer the Smashbox CAMERA READY FULL COVERAGE CONCEALER.





What I love about the YSL concealer is the pen-brush. It is easy to apply and has the consistency of liquid foundation. I apply it all around my eyes including the eyelids. I also apply it around my nose and mouth. I will have to go to Holt Renfrew soon as this now become an important part of my morning makeup routine.

The Smashbox concealer feels like I am applying lipstick to my face. However, the colour is perfect.
