*Satchel Briefcase Handbag*

Vintage Satchel Briefcase Handbag

Last month, I was looking online for a new black handbag and came across this one via eBay.  I was a bit skeptical since I previously ordered an item from China and received a different style.  I proceeded to purchase the bag and hoped for the best.

To my surprise, the quality and style is exactly as listed on eBay.  I paid $9.99 for the bag and $12.99 for shipping.  The shipping took almost a month which it was worth the wait.  Due to the way the bag was shipped, there are visible marks on the side and one on the back side which is barely visible at this time.  
I am extremely happy with this purchase.

Extras:

*Eau de Parfum*

I have been using "Curious" by Britney Spears, "Paris Hilton" by Paris Hilton and lotions from Victorias Secret for years now until I found "Bombshell" by Victorias Secret.

 

It came in a set which I purchased several ones to gift.  I guess my head count was off since I had two left from the holidays. As I was organizing a month ago I decided to open the gifts and use them.  This perfume in my opinion smells better than "Dream Angel's Heavenly" which I purchased a while back and gave it away.  This scent reminds me of my great-grandmother's garden.  I love how fresh the scent smells.

Have you tried "Bombshell"?...

*Suit it up*

As some know already, I am now living in Florida and with that comes a new life and the job hunting begins. I was looking for a great suit and came across some interesting ones online.  Also, for those that are currently job hunting, make sure that you keep it very simple.  I've included some information below to explain what I mean by "simple".

*Blog Changes*

The name of this blog changed from "In Heels I Trust" to "Beautify Ur Life".  I figured it is a suitable name for it since I not only love shoes, but I love all things beautiful.

Now, I'll need to find a cute header/logo for my page.  If anyone knows of someone that can make it happen, send them my way. For the right price, I'm in. :)

*My Days in Flats*

 

I'm not the one to wear flats day in and out since my feet will hurt or get blisters.  However, that changed the moment I decided to re-enroll in college.  I wanted comfort and to be able to get from point "A" to "B" without any "epic fails".  My search began online, but decided to just go into stores and try on flats.  I first went to Bloomingdale's and tried on the Tory Burch flats and they were not for me.  I have read reviews on how great they are and so on, but they were not comfortable on my feet.  So my search went on at Macy's, Sears, Love Culture, Forever 21... until I decided to go to Kohl's.
