A Few of my Favorite Things…

March 24, 2012 By Living Solutions Interior Design

Happy Friday! This post is not really at all interior design related, but I guess part of it at least could qualify for organizing your life, one step at a time :). And fashion design. So I guess it is somewhat design related! I love, love, love to know what products people are using, loving, and can’t live without.  So I thought I’d make today’s post a Friday’s Favorites, and share a few of my favorite things of the moment!
Almost 2 years ago, I purchased a Vera Bradley turn lock wallet. I love wallets, mainly because I love all the little compartments to organize! I’ve tried all kinds…Coach and Tusk, and now Vera Bradley. I love my VB one because it’s cute and bright, so I can find it in the black hole that is my bag, it has lots of compartments, and zips up nice and tightly. No matter how much is in there, it seems to stay the same size.

I’ve needed a new one for awhile but kept putting it off until last week when the hardware around the turn lock came completely off! So I definitely needed to get a new one! I have a tendency to be a bit hard on my things. I wear my shoes until they almost have holes in them (I know! Terrible!), I wear holes in my jeans…I’m not the most delicate person that ever lived!

This is how my old one looked…

 Worn edges, faded, missing the whole set of hardware that around the turn lock-time for a new one.


And here’s my new one, inside…

It’s just as good as the first one I had, and I love the new pattern! So bright and spring-y!

Another thing I’m loving these days are my Me Too flats!

These are my absolute new favorite shoes! I wear them all the time! I have a fancy pair of Tory Burch flats that I got for Christmas a year or so ago, and they’ve never been all that comfy. One of my clients told me about Me Too flats, so when I needed a new pair of shoes, I headed to Nordstrom and tried them on. They are like slippers!!!! I bought a leapord print pair, too, which aren’t quite as comfy as my silver ones. I should have purchased the next size, but they are still more comfortable than my Tory Burch pair. Looking them up for this posts makes me want to go get a few more pairs for spring!

And last, but certainly not least is my favorite lip gloss by Nars Cosmetcis.

Nars Lipgloss in Orgasm-{it’s the color name, people-and I have to say, it looks good on most coloring…}

I usually don’t love lip glosses because my hair always gets stuck in the sticky ones. I can’t stand that! But this kind is creamy and pretty, and I always have it with me!  There are a lot of pretty colors that I’d love to try. 

So that’s it for my Friday’s favorites: My Vera Bradley turn lock wallet, Me Too flats and Nars lip gloss! Have any of you tried any of these little treasures? What are some of your favorite things right now?
