While we were in Los Angeles enjoying the delights of ‘Fashion Week’, we took some time to try and find what I have always considered to be my biggest life challenge… to find a large bag for my wife.

My daughter Kristin is a big fan of Burberry… and needless to say, they have a great store right in Beverly Hills… so it was one of our must stops!

The attached picture is of a happy Laura with her new bag in Karen’s downtown Los Angeles apartment….. we’re off to a Trojan track meet at USC a few miles away.

Back to the story… buying THE bag was a challenge primarily because it had some many components… it had to be large, it had to have many zippered compartments, it had to be lined, it had to be soft…. and I interjected… it had to cost less than a car.

Finally, Kristin found the bag!

If people know anything about Shu uemura, they know that they make ‘eyelash curlers’ mentioned in ‘the Devil Wears Prada.’ What many people do not know is that Shu Uemura offers a wide range of skin care, makeup, tools and accessories. Most women are astonished at the transformation that takes place with their makeup… but what impresses me most is their skin care products.

My daughter Kristin spent time in sandstorms in Iraq during the invasion leaving her skin in need of some tender loving care…Shu uemura was just the thing! I set up an appointment for Kristin while we were at Neiman Marcus Beverly Hills and they brought out the best in my daughter. Beauty never comes cheap, but it was so worth it!

I’m sure they’ll give you the same great results… but make an appointment, they tend to get booked real fast.

I recieved a couple of catalogs in today’s mail… the mailman must have been very impressed.

As the person who can speak ‘fashion’ with his daughters and wife… I found it adventageous to scan the offerings.

What’s obvious is that both contain sample fragrances. The NM contained ‘Valentino” for women… which to me… could best be described as ‘lusty’. And Michael Kors has his own style of perfume… His ‘Fiji’ and ‘Hawaii’ for women are appealing… they remind me of both.

What first strikes you about Michael Kors’ selection is that there is something for everyone’s pocketbook! I had been looking for a large leather bag for my wife to put her purse, shoulder bag, dress shoes, camping equipment and other stuff… and he has several modestly priced that would work just fine. As for Neiman Marcus, my absolute favorite place to shop… bring your wallet or shop the sales.

Blogging about fashion is a bit unusual for me… but then, I don’t get tuned out when my wife and daughters talk… so, it’s all good. It does have it’s advantages, one woman told me recently:

 “a man who likes fashion is to women,  
as a woman who loves football is to men”…

I can appreciate that.
