Laura’s Burberry Surprise!

Burberry has been around for about 150 years of great fashion

 

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!

Kristin’s Shu uemura Adventure at Neiman Marcus

Kristin spent nearly two hours in 'the chair'

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.

Nancy Gonzalez & L.A. Fashion Week

L.A. Fashion Week just ended with a number of private shows and parties going on… of course… my invitation must have gotten lost in the mail. However, all is not lost, we did manage to drop in on a few goings on… Neiman Marcus of Beverly Hills had a number of special showings… particularly with the visit of famed designer Nancy Gonzalez.

Nancy was kind enough to show me her line of bags, totes, hobos, and clutch creations and a bit on how they were constructed and where. She gathers her material from all over the world and puts them together in Columbia. Buying one of Nancy’s wonderful bags is not for the faint hearted (crocs) or budget minded… but they are unparalleled.

I did offer a minor suggestion… I hope she considers putting up a web page… her story is fascinating and her products extraordinary.

I had a great time,
