“What Are The Things You Crave?” Our Top Five Picks!

Posted on 21 October 2008 by Jacqueline H

What is a craving? Is it something we want? Is it something we need? Is it something we wish we had? Well according to the official dictionary terminology. To crave is to long for something, want it greatly. And to desire it eagerly. Well, that sounds like a fashion and beauty diva to me~!

Well to jump start this fashion craving we have come up with our top five run down of things we want, wish we had, and crave!

1. A Louis Vuitton Handbag

Now a Louis Vuitton handbag is definitely on every girl’s wish list and handbag cravings. It is and always will be an ongoing trend. So we know that we want one. But some of us have to do with those knock off’s just to submit to the need. But at almost $3,000+ for a handbag…we can keep craving.

2. A Pair of Jimmy Choo Shoes


Grant Silk satin peep toe shoe £525.00 ($1,044.00)

Now when I first heard of Jimmy Choo, I was very confused. I was like who is this guy and why are his shoes so popular – and expensive? Only to discover that the CEO is Tamara Mellon, who approached Mr. Jimmy Choo in London. An exceptional shoe designer. They partnered, and $100 million dollars later with a global empire. A happy success story. But you now know how craved a pair of Jimmy Choo’s is.~

3. A weekend in a Spa Retreat

I know that I crave this one! And a girl can never crave too many spa retreats! A great retreat is the Enchantment Resort. This former private ranch in Red Rock Country has architecture that “blends in with the natural beauty of the surroundings.” Rooms in rich earth-tone colors include beehive fireplaces and decks with views of Boynton Canyon. Mii Amo, which means “one’s path” in the local Yuman language, incorporates Native American rituals into its Inner Quest spa treatment.

4. Designer Lip Gloss


Dior Addict Lip Gloss – $24.50

One of the easier things we can actually add to our beauty routine! Dior Lip Addict (that could not have been worded any better!) is a great lip gloss and something that we feel we need – and can actually have!

5. A Glass of Champagne


La Grande Champagne – Designer Champagne: Exclusive Veuve Cliquot in ice bucket casing

I can’t think of any better way to finish our search for the top five cravings than to finish with an exceptional glass of champagne. Designer champagne that is! These champagnes are never short of bliss, be it for the liquid inside or the casing outside. But what makes the La Grande special is that a special casket/casing that doubles up as an ice bucket. That has been touched upon by none other than Andree Putman, a leading interior designer of the modern world. This special luxurious offering is available with only selective dealers. And as they say, exclusivity never has refined price! So let us just end it here by citing an estimated value of around $485!

Touch And Go Make-Up Kit’s From Dior – For The Busy Woman

Posted on 13 October 2008 by Jacqueline H

From catwalk-inspired cosmetics to cutting-edge skincare and timeless fragrances, Christian Dior has brought us some of the most luxurious, trendsetting, and fashionable beauty products around. It’s this magical mix of couture-meets-cosmetics that not only attracts celebrities, supermodels, and the society set, but also has solidified Dior’s reputation as one of the most unabashedly stylish beauty brands in the world.


Dior makeup palette, $70, available at Sephora

The name Dior conjures many fabulous things, one being the out-of-this-world makeup. This new palette, however, is inspired by another woman in the company’s employ, house DJ Harley Viera-Newton, and as such it has more real-life applications. Designed for on-the-fly touch-ups and post-work upgrades, the kit includes mini versions of the brand’s unmatchable Black Out mascara, Addict Pink Organza lip gloss, a great neutral blush, and six flattering eye shadows. Even better, it’s all housed in a leather logo case that could easily double as an evening clutch.


Backstage Beauty Essential Kit – $79.00

A must-have beauty kit for the urban sophisticate. The Dior Backstage Beauty Essential Kit is the perfect runway-ready set for the diva on the go! This set contains a 0.2 oz Lip Maximizer, Eye Show in 092 Glam & Glitz Black (shimmering black), Diorshow Mascara in Black, and a mini Crayon Eyeliner.
So if you are one of those busy business women in the world, or working mom’s. Try one of these kits to keep you going!
