No, not the magic seaweed wrap that promises to make you thin after one treatment but, cost $399 “to get started in the business”, that the lady under the hairdryer keeps pushing to everyone that sits within 5ft of her. I am talking about the wrap that hides the new bulge that has accumulated after long hours of dating your desk.

Hell, we all have a little work that needs to be handled but, since I am moving at a snails pace (sorry Bridget) at shedding my extra “baggage” I would rather offer the illusion of a perfect body to my potential suitors (as soon as I can get away from this desk!!!!!) and nothing is better at achieving this trickery for all body types than a magical wrap dress (insert evil/bad guy laugh here)!!!!!

So, in my eternal quest to find the perfect magical wrap I enlisted the help of my Fairy Webmother (Google) and she presented me with 3 fabulous websites that offered some of the cutest and affordable magical wraps on the net that will definitely achieve the goal of making women of all sizes look absolutely fabulous even if you’ve had one too many lunch dates with your desk!

(Top Row: 1) Searle NY $598, 2) Searle NY $358, 3) Shop Runway $51; Bottom Row: 4) Shop Runway $60, 5) Shop Runway $63, 6) Mahogany Soul $65 )

Our shoulders crave the rich butter soft leather of luxury handbags and totes to accent them perfectly but, sometimes our wallets decline our choices. Imagine my delight when I came across Shop Lush; a online store focused on providing the luxe handbags for less than a full weave. They even use real leather for their bags; try finding that at anywhere for under $200.

 

These are my favorite 9 under $99.99 (1st row: $59.99, $79.99, $69.99; 2nd row: $79.99, $59.99, $79.99; 3rd row: $59.99, $79.99, $39.99)

Really, can you beat a $10 ticket and a goodie bag, or a $25 ticket and a deluxe goodie bag (which I highly suggest because the regular goodie bag is a little slim) ?

Here is the list of the cities that they are headed to now (the D.C. event for May sold out in March), I highly suggest that you get your tickets now if you are going to be in the following cities:

Okay, so last night I was at Femme Fetes; Fashion Playland event (which was awesome!) having a ball until someone asked for my business card. If you are like me you probably carry a huge purse big enough for the world to fit in which isn’t so cute for any after five event with the hottest taste makers. So as I am digging through my purse; (which by the way is the size of the world) and digging (it’s only so much small talk), finally I give up looking for the cardcase and scribble my info on a card that’s not mine (soooo not savvy). I am totally embarrassed because it looks so unprofessional and I start thinking to my self how I should have had a Celicase.

Celicase is the must have item for women on the go like myself. It’s a cute handmade leather organizer (with lots of color and style options;-D) that allow all of your necessities (i.e. credit cards, phone, card style lipsticks, eyeshadows and most importantly business cards!!!!) to fit neatly in a cute case that you can strap, belt, clutch or clip.

*These are some of my favorites; Treefrog Green, Retro Pink, Carmel Camel and Basmati Brown for only $60 each !!!!!
Visit www.celicase.com for more information and while you are there be sure to check out the designer, Lisa Rodrigues story she is truly a Savvy Socialite who overcame huge obstacles and made it!
