Sigma Heart Shaped Mirror

It's no secret that I am a sucker for anything that sparkles, so when I saw Sigma's Heart Shaped Mirror, it was love. Sigma sent me the mirror in Cleopatra to review, and I'm really happy with the quality of the mirror. I was curious to see if the rhinestones would easily fall off but so far that has not been the case. Plus, the mirror comes in a small velvet bag which is convenient since the mirror takes much abuse in my already overflowing bag. I, also, like how the mirror is small enough to fit in my hand but includes a regular mirror and a magnified mirror - so important for on the go touch ups.

WORKING THE NEW SEASON WITH FABULOUS NEW DISCOVERIES.

Edited by: Florrie Clarke of Intrinsically Florrie

I’ve been overwhelmed by the quality of the submissions and I hope you’ll enjoy reading these as much as I have. This week the issue of workwear is tackled whether as a fashion blogger you’re heading to Fashion Week or you’re not sure how to translate your everyday style to the office. The latter is a dilemma I’m often confronted with when dressing for work. Through the links I have also gleefully discovered some wonderful designers to dreamily sigh over the work of; these garments would most definitely fit into my wardrobe perfectly, be it in the smart section or the purely frivolous one.

Murder at Mansfield Park

I just finished reading Lynn Shepherd's Murder at Mansfield Park for the Everything Austen II challenge and am so sad to have finished it because it was that good. Forget everything you know about Jane Austen's Mansfield Park and pretend she rewrote it as a murder mystery. Fanny Price is no longer the meek, good girl while Mary Crawford is the downtrodden heroine. When Fanny is brutally murdered, Mary sets out to solve the mystery. Intrigue, suspense, and a happy ending make this novel worth reading.

Saturday Haul

This past week has been full of little goodies. Last year I read The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society and loved it, so I finally swapped for it on swap.com. I'm smitten with my new phone, a BlackBerry Curve and this cute case which I found on amazon. Marvel's Sense and Sensibility is so pretty to flip through and makes for delightful reading. Finally, special thanks to Velvet from vvb32 reads for the Unicorn Wishes Journal!

The End of Summer? No! The Beginning of Awesome!

Edited by: Thom of The Sunday Best

For the past week I've been listening to Cee-Lo Green's fantastic send-off, F@#* You, and little else. At the same time I've been reading a lot of the hand-wringing in the press about bloggers and whatever are we going to do about them, along with our responses both here and on our blogs. And the two have combined in my head to form a single determination - bloggers need more swagger. I don't mean anger, of the you-don't-respect-us variety, or apologetics, of the we-are-as-legitimate-as-other-media variety. I mean swagger, the kind of swagger that comes from doing something well and knowing you're good at it. So whatever other themes might knit together this week's links, they all share that important characteristic - swagger. Step up to the plate, knock it out of the park.
