Need a new purse? Why buy when you can rent?

Are you gearing up for the holiday parties? Are you starting to think about what you are going to wear?

In last week’s newsletter, about the importance of the “little black dress”, we mentioned that accessories are one way to show off your individuality. But buying the latest it bag can be expensive, and not to mention wasteful, if your only going to use it for a party or two.

So why not just rent one? There is a great site out there called Bag, Borrow or Steal. www.bagborroworsteal.com

Here you can have fun fantasizing what it would feel like to carry something a little more wild, or expensive than you’re used too!

How would you like it if you could just get on-line and for between $60 to $120.00 , you can have a genuine Channel clutch in your mailbox a few days latter!

They even have a section that shows what the stars are carrying and then you can search to see if they have one for you to borrow!

For example, here is Terri Hatcher with a pretty little purse from Moschino. Yes, it’s for rent too!

They also have expanded their site to include jewelry as well, but we think they do purses the best!

We think, why fake it, when you can have the real thing.

Long Hair on Older Women – Sexy or Silly?

Does long hair on older women look sexy or silly?

Christopher Hopkins, “The Makeover Guy” has it right when he says it’s really not about age.”It’s a combination of how young you appear, hair quality, and whether longer hair looks good on you at all, regardless of age. If you’ve never looked good in long hair, you likely never will. But if you’ve always had long hair and it’s still holding out pretty well, meaning it’s thick and shiny and can be worn without a lot of what looks like work, then likely you can still wear it well.”

So true! Nothing worse than seeing a gal with scraggly long hair, trying to hang onto her youth by wearing long hair just for the sake of long hair. On the other hand, we can think of a handful of clients and plenty of celebs over 40 who look stunning with long hair.

Long hair can look Sexy, but be forewarned. You need lots of time and money for all the super high maintenance involved. Just look at the celebs who are LONG on style!
