Make Me Up

I must go through about four cosmetic bags a year. No matter how hard I try to keep them clean and neat, sooner rather than later they become a mess. It is usually because a powder of some sort will eventually break and decides to bask all over the inside of my bag. Even if I apply neatly over a sink, it always seems that more powder ends up in my bag than on my face. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love to look natural and don't really wear a lot of make up to begin with, but it's my face that needs the touch up, not my bag. So, I again find myself in the need of a new make-up bag. I have found five, all of which I really like, but I would love you to pick out which one I should buy. So post your comments below or here and let me know which little pouch to purchase!

Flirty and Fierce. Two looks, one trench.

It's raining (again) here in New York and since the drops aren't stopping for the next few days I thought I would blog about fun and pretty rain gear to hopefully brighten the mood. This Burberry Prorsum trench is divine and definitely an investment piece, but I think it's worth it. Depending on your mood, it can be styled to go with countless looks including punk, fun, sexy, girly and even edgy. Here are two ways I would wear it..flirty and fierce.  

Flirty.

Barney's umbrella, Burberry Prorsum trench, Anthropologie cloche, Ugg rain boots, Madewell scarf and gold umbrella stand

Fierce.

Burberry Prorsum trench, Barney's umbrella, Michael Kors hat and arm warmers, Jimmy Choo for Hunger wellies,  Jcrew sweater and Madewell scarf
