espeically this one since i'm a "bag within a bag" girl too!
Explain to me your “bag within a bag” system—it’s genius.
I carry a clutch-size bag inside my purse or handbag. This way I don’t have things floating around in the bottom of my purse, and I’m not rummaging around looking for makeup, or a pen, or whatever. This is revelatory. It is so easy to then switch out purses and you also have a casual clutch option for the night at the same time. I like the soft, structured leather of the zippered Comme des Garçons, Baggu or American Apparel bags. I also now finally figured out to carry one for receipts instead of overloading my wallet.

when i was in san francisco my girl kris introduced me to uber and i love it! uber is an app that allows you to call/text for a town car to pick you up whenever and take you wherever. at your destination they charge your credit card {including tip} on file. i love anything that doesn't involve cash and who doesn't riding around in a flossy town car? check it out!

last night i took my second flower class a metropolitan market. we made flower easter baskets and they are adorable! it started with cutting up a wheat grass plant.
we added a handle and cut a bouquet of tulip and filler flowers to fit inside.
next week assed a little nest and a blue egg. and added a ribbon to the handle.
how cute this this? i'm going to give it to my mom for our easter table this weekend. {sorry for the bad photos, iphone.}
lately i've been feeling like my makeup routine was leaning towards the blah side and i was ready to spice things up. so when my makeup-loving friend and favorite travel mate, avery bleu, came to town i told her she wasn't leaving without taking me to sephora.
here's what i came home with and some of avery bleu's favorite beauty picks:
- urban decay eye shadow, eye liner (i picked a fun greenish color} and and eye shadow primer. this is a makeup line i would probably walk passed, but avery bleu is a big fan. she said the primer is one of her all-time favorite makeup items.
- make up forever eye liner in classic black. i love how thin this goes on. and stays on!
- laura mercier tinted moisturizer - illuminating. i've been using laura mercier for years but avery recommended trying the illuminating version. it's amazing. it gives you that glow without being too shinny or worse oily.
- nars bronzer. this actually was a spry pick, but avery approved. i'm still finishing up my old bronzer so no report on how i like this yet.
what are your makeup favorites? do you use any of these? anything else you love that i should try? i'm open to recommendations!
