<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I previously wrote about what fashion pieces to invest in, specifically, handbags, clothing and shoes. Currently, I am in the process of investing in a Louis Vuitton 'Neverfull MM' in the classic Damier pattern. Before making this decision, I went through a whole cluster of investment bags I had my eye on. After deciding on the MM, I had to choose a color. Then, I had to decide on a timeline for saving. After that, I had to decide where I was going to purchase it from--straight from LV or secondhand? In a nutshell, I know how complicated it is to choose your dream investment bag! I've made this guide to ease the anxiety/worry/anger in choosing yours.<br />
<br />
Step 1: Narrow Your Choices Down to Five.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
You may have your eye on 10 bags, but you have to be honest with yourself. Pick five that will outlive you style-wise. Pick five that fit your lifestyle. Pick five that would be you in a nutshell. If you only have five bags (or even less!) then you're already ahead of the game.<br />
<br />
Step 2: Do Your Research<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghI1Zr_BQutKxfRykrrjsal_hKgHLvjdfIvSl6IrEO2mLhAdhXEi2H09UahZsZeicaTMiKS8vA7SvIMiw8PNsvQ1wgTioNPyL9rARDqJb9n1tXC0HlnXbBiJM9DDYRclKrhaP-lAfuOnPi/s1600/marc-jacobs-leather-stam-handbag.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghI1Zr_BQutKxfRykrrjsal_hKgHLvjdfIvSl6IrEO2mLhAdhXEi2H09UahZsZeicaTMiKS8vA7SvIMiw8PNsvQ1wgTioNPyL9rARDqJb9n1tXC0HlnXbBiJM9DDYRclKrhaP-lAfuOnPi/s320/marc-jacobs-leather-stam-handbag.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
You're probably like, "Duhhhhh!!!" But let's do some serious research. Act like it's for a history class.<br />
Here's what to research:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Dimensions--Height, length, width. Tote, handbag, top handle, or multiple strap options?</li>
<li>Usage--Are you taking this to the office, classrooms, or dinner parties? Find your handbags environment. </li>
<li>Price--How much money am I investing? </li>
<li>History--I don't mean go find out when it debuted, but you need to see where this handbag is usually seen. Is it practical for your lifestyle? </li>
<li>Versatility--Can this handbag easily transition from day to night? Is that a quality you want? </li>
<li>Stuff--What can I fit in this thing?! </li>
</ul>
<div>
How to do your research: </div>
<div>
<ol>
<li>YouTube is seriously the beacon of handbag research. It allows you see your handbag functioning. There are YouTube users like, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/bjtaylor02" rel="nofollow">bjtaylor02</a>, who model designer handbags, show you much stuff you can fit in them and compare them to similar handbags. For example, when I was deciding on whether or not a Neverfull MM or PM would be best for me, I watched her video where she compared the two. It showed me that the PM might be too big for me and that the MM is a bit smaller and more functional. Also, "What's In My Purse?" videos are great for getting to know your bags. </li>
<li><a href="http://www.purseblog.com/" rel="nofollow">PurseBlog</a> not puts up kickin' handbags for your to droll over, but they put up pics of celebrities carrying your dream bags. They do reviews of collections, too. Most importantly is PurseBlog has a forum of real people who buy/have bought your investment bags. They aren't being paid to review the bags and they give <i>honest</i> opinions. Look up your bags!</li>
<li>The actual purse is the best place to do handbag research. Seeing your bags in person can be the moment where you realize that its the one and vice versa. </li>
</ol>
<div>
Step 3: Pick Your Bag (and color):<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaH7SIjwqCMuzHsr3wbln524fFFIa2femgndjO75niDYHypMnGIgAbLcXq0lFLqqIb2W9WptAGu02vOzsZRJ21sndfjmdnH-55QPfgdDiLUeiG6-WnQIsx7f3g8xPTw-I-LbjnBxPWMVrs/s1600/Gucci-Striped-Boston-Bag.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="290" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaH7SIjwqCMuzHsr3wbln524fFFIa2femgndjO75niDYHypMnGIgAbLcXq0lFLqqIb2W9WptAGu02vOzsZRJ21sndfjmdnH-55QPfgdDiLUeiG6-WnQIsx7f3g8xPTw-I-LbjnBxPWMVrs/s320/Gucci-Striped-Boston-Bag.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Gucci Striped Monogram Boston Bag [<a href="http://www.purseblog.com/gucci/if-you-love-logo-bags-gucci-has-a-relatively-classy-option-for-you.html">Photo Credit]</a></i></div>
<br />
This is probably the hardest step, because you're like, "I just want them all!" and your bank account is all like, "No way!" But think of the bag you put on your list first, think of the one your mind keeps going back to, and most importantly, think about the one that your gut is telling to you to get. The decision is easier than you think, you just have to really think about it. Depending on your bag, there might be various colors/patterns. Once you choose your bag, this will so easy. Pick what matches your wardrobe more and pick what you'll want to wear more.<br />
<br />
Step 4: Determine a Savings Timeline [Optional]:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglDiM6iHbbjecXvVzxdB5uDIa5mQDSONk9zBzPaOgXXbO-juMC95UlZpymGhzGKdBHfu79kpcFTvz3GCAa6XO5R-1QdA8Ekludu-fbBF1TR2mI2h5QFlsI2otEtGobVto46qIDWs1T78hyphenhyphen/s1600/Savings-calendar.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglDiM6iHbbjecXvVzxdB5uDIa5mQDSONk9zBzPaOgXXbO-juMC95UlZpymGhzGKdBHfu79kpcFTvz3GCAa6XO5R-1QdA8Ekludu-fbBF1TR2mI2h5QFlsI2otEtGobVto46qIDWs1T78hyphenhyphen/s320/Savings-calendar.jpg" width="257" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
Determining a savings timeline for your investment handbag, if you need to save up for it, will keep you on track and will show you how good or bad your willpower is. You make a calendar for your savings or have a jar. You can set-up a cute box in your bedroom. You can save a certain amount everyday or week somewhere. This step is optional though because maybe you're going to use your hefty income tax check to pay for your dream bag. Choose a savings plan that you can commit to and will enjoy carrying out until its time to buy your bag.<br />

I honestly never know what to say...like ever. One half of me is this free spirit, hippie, Free People catalog, surfer girl and the other side is Ralph Lauren cable-knit sweater and Sperry girl....I guess it is always good to have some variation. Despite my internal fashion debacle, I am so in love with Sarah Vickers style. She is the definition of classic.<br />

Sarah, who runs the blog, <a href="http://www.classygirlswearpearls.com/">Classy Girls Wear Pearls</a>, is an employee at Kiel James Patrick, an American accessories company that specializes in bracelets, belts, earrings, among other things, all of which embody true American prep style. I could not imagine Sarah working somewhere more perfect. The one thing that sticks out to me is how Sarah never underestimates classic pieces, like above, with a white button down and a pair of dark blue cords, to convey her own style. </div>

If you're looking for a way to style a classic piece based outfit, or just looking for some style inspiration, Sarah Vickers of Classy Girls Wear Pearls is the girl to look at! She is definitely a favorite of mine. She also makes me feel totally horrible for my winter uniform of jeans, TOMS and a Northface jacket....but hey! I'm trying to survive college! </div>

I have a love/hate relationship with fall. I love a new season, I love not feeling that sticky humidity on my skin and I especially love the clothes! What I don't like is the coldness, the rainy-ness, and I'm pretty sure my professors pump up the quizzes and tests in the fall! Anyways, it's a lovely season bringing renewal to: the fashion world, the school world and the work world. Everybody has their favorite things about fall: from clothes to food.</div>

Fashion can get pricey, especially when you love clothes more than you love most things. Clothes can become a great passion and a great excitement in people's lives. Sometimes the thrill of shopping can brighten up the darkest of days, months and weeks for people. While it's great to find the Chanel scarf of your dreams at a consignment store for $5 [as I did], it's even better to buy the Louis Vuitton bag or the Chanel bag or the Alexander Wang or the Balenciaga bag...you get the point...of your dreams from the store, in the brand name bag, with the brand name dust bag, with the cards saying it's REAL!!! and the satisfaction of having said bag in your possession forever! This would be called an investment piece.<br />
<br />
An investment piece is usually timeless. Timeless can also be subject to your own definition but to me, timeless is a piece you wear often, is ALWAYS in season, on trend and relevant; something that matches your wardrobe to an everyday extent; something you will love when you're 85 years old.<br />

<li>Made of materials that aren't PVC, plastic, rubber, etc.</li>
<li>Work well with your wardrobe, which doesn't mean your wardrobe works with the bag, the bag works with your wardrobe. If you have more of a classic, preppy style, a nice Louis Vuitton or Chanel would work well, if you're more of hippie/rocker girl, Balenciaga is the brand for you....in my opinion. </li>
<li>What do you find yourself drawn to when you're at the mall? Walking to class? Shopping? Online window shopping at? For me, it's a Louis Vuitton 'Neverful GM' in Damier! </li>
<li>Something you will sport often.</li>
</ul>

<b>Investment handbags don't have to be designer.</b> My mom has a handmade, leather knapsack that my dad had made for her on their honeymoon. She loves it, she uses it more of a briefcase but still, she uses it <i>often</i>. Investment pieces are made to be worn often. Investment pieces wouldn't be the limited edition Chanel PVC tote bag you saw in Teen Vogue one month. They are the bags you see old ladies in Macy's carrying around, durable, made well, life-long friends. </div>

Clothing can be more difficult to justify as an investment, in my opinion, because it varies person to person. I love Free People, Anthropologie, Equipment, Ralph Lauren and 7 For All Mankind. I could literally live in those clothes for the rest of my life and be content with my life. Those are brands/stores I invest in. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What you should consider when choosing investment clothing:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>What do I wear often? I wear jeans a lot. They are the basis of most of my outfits. I spend good money on 7 For All Mankind jeans. Usually I catch them on a sale. Stores like Nordstrom's, Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdales and Macy's rotate clothes often. I check sales section online and in stores. Macy's usually has some kind of coupon on holiday weekends and sometimes 7FAMs will be on sale there for no reason at all. I buy them whenever I have the money and whenever my AE jeans aren't doing me justice any longer. 7FAMs are usually around $178-250, they're an investment to me. </li>
<li>What do I usually go for an everyday outfit? This question is kind of the same as the first but now we're talking basics. I usually go for a flowy top, and nice jeans or leggings. My investment pieces are Free People, Anthropologie or Equipment shirts. Usually, I wait until a sale just like I do for jeans which brings down my PPW or Price Per Wear, which I'll go into more detail about below. </li>
<li>You're running late, what's your go-to outfit? What in your closet can you throw together and have it work instantly? Polo and jeans? Button up and leggings? Think about it. </li>
<li>Basics. I love H&M tank tops. While they aren't super expensive, they last pretty long for me and I buy about 5 at a time in white, black, grey, tan and navy blue. I also wear v-necks quite often. Investment. J. Crew has great v-necks. I have invested in a few and they outlast my Old Navy, H&M and Hanes ones in the long run. </li>
<li>Which brand do I like the best? Don't go with a brand that is popular at the moment. Shop around, try things on at the store, walk around the dressing room in it for a little bit and see if you like it on you. Don't buy J.Crew v-necks because I buy them and don't buy Hollister Co. tank tops because your friends wear them. If you want your clothes to last a long time, you need to chose brands that conform to you with a style that you will love forever. Don't be a follower, don't be a trend-chaser, and don't do what someone else tells you to do.</li>

Shoes are girl's best friend. Any shoe lover will probably describe something along the lines of Jimmy Choo or Christian Louboutin as their dream shoe. The great thing about great shoes like Choos and Louboutins are that they are made fabulously. Seriously! They are made so well and it is no lie when they promise a lifetime of wear. I don't wear heels that much so they aren't a great investment piece for me right now, but as far flats, boots, and sandals go, I'm willing to spend a nice chunk of change on nice shoes.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Here's what to consider when choosing your investment shoe:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<ul>
<li>What type of shoes do I wear often? Sneakers? Heels? Sandals? Boots? </li>
<li>Invest in weather appropriate shoes. A good pair of winter boots, rain boots and even cowboy boots (my favorite) can last you a long time and will survive the weather! I highly advise spending $100+ on winter boots if it snows where you live, rather be safe than sorry when it gets snowy out! Also, rain boots are practical. I didn't realize this until I got to college and it rained and the floors in the lecture halls were tracked with rain. </li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
Price Per Wear</h2>
<div>
Price Per Wear is the best fashion math. It's very simple.</div>
<div>
<ol>
<li>Take the price of the item and divide by how many times you think you will wear it in a month. Then multiply by 12. </li>
<li>Then take that and divide it by how many years you think you will have it. </li>
</ol>
<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
Example:</div>
<div>
Your Dream Jeans= $178</div>
<div>
178/14= $12.71</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Each month, if worn 14 times, you pay $12.71 a month to wear these jeans or 90 cents per wear. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
$12.71*12= $152.52/year</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Each year, you pay $152.52 to wear them. Meaning in a year, your price per wear is almost equal to the price you paid in the store. You still have $25.48 more, so you'd have two more months of wear before you surpass your retail value. This is a good investment. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Say you'd have then for about 10 years....</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
$152.52*10= $1525.20 worth of wear in a lifetime. You get 10 times your retail value in 10 years. Owning them and wearing them for a little over a year, your price per is greater than your retail. This is what you look for. A lot of people go by a $1 per wear, in this case, these hypothetical jeans were less than that. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Doing this simple math will help you determine (and justify) an investment piece. It will also help you determine whether something would actually be an investment piece for you. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>

It has perhaps been hyped up at certain points but the university student, school boy, school girl style is based around such classic pieces and has an essence of the preparatory schools in America and boarding schools in London that it will truly never go <i>out </i>of style.<br />
<br />
With that being said, this fall, it looks like designers are focusing on colors like burgundy, putting an emphasis on black, basing collections in fabrics like wool, getting inspired by iconic time pieces like shoes from the Victorian era (Anna Sui), having fun with texture and playing with black and white, geometric looking patterns.<br />
<br />
We can find many of these inspirations in the university prep style, here's your guide....<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Reflection on Anna Wintour</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Many people who I associate with, friends, family, teachers, always ask, "Who?" when I talk about Anna Wintour. She's usually mentioned in sentences like, "One day, I want to work for Anna Wintour." or "One day, I will BE Anna Wintour." To describe to people why I would like to emulate or become Anna Wintour, I say, "She is the Editor-In-Chief at Vogue magazine." </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Nobody understands, still. So I tell them, "That movie, The Devil Wears Prada, that was based off of her..."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then everybody goes, "Oh god!! Why would you want to work for her?!" </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But there are many reasons:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1) She has made an impression in fashion for women, because essentially, fashion was ran mostly by men since the beginning of time. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2) She is responsible for making Vogue look organized, spotless and creative. Vogue is the Bible of the bookstore when it comes to fashion magazines. Women relish Vogue, Vogue relishes women, women who relish Vogue relish it because of Anna Wintour slipping a love scent in between every Louis Vuitton ad and every article about haute couture and cellulite. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3) Anna Wintour isn't perfect. She just looks like it. In her 60 Minutes interview, she reveals quite clearly that she did not like school. It wasn't her thing. She dropped out. She is a real person. Call her an alien all you want.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4) Her wardrobe. The women has $250,000 shopping budget, a hair and makeup team and composure. She does not bare it all and does not go around seeking attention. I admire this most of all. I am glad women like to express themselves, do as you please, but do it with class. I have a harder time admiring Snooki than I do Kat Von D. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5) She is a bitch. She does not hand people what they need to do on a silver platter. She babies nobody. Her steel-cold exterior has gotten her further than most politicians, who, quite frankly, should take some notes from her. Her membrane is permeable. She does not take people's shit. She had to work her ass off to get to the top of that mast head and so should everybody else. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Those are just a few, but those are the top reasons I'm going into the cut and dry field of journalism with a sense of hard work awaiting for me. I don't want it to be easy, I want it to be worth it. Everything Anna Wintour possesses and everything that the world critisizes her for, she has worked for. I want to work for something. Whether it be editor-in-chief at Vogue or fashion director at Marie Claire. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In all, I admire Anna because she is a woman of stature. While she may not believe she has done much for women, because I don't believe she would categorize herself as any kind of feminist nonetheless a fashion icon, but she is to me. It is because Anna has not defined herself as any one thing that leaves her mysterious and evolving. There is an Anna in most people, if they choose to find it, that's their choice. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I got this perfume from a friend for Christmas and have given myself a month to embrace it and test it out before I told anybody else that they absolutely needed to buy it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This scent is definitely heavy and lasts all day and melts into your skin after 8 hours to this lovely woodsy-amber scent that is still fragrant until you take a shower. I'm not too good at describing scents so I'll leave it Sephora below:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<blockquote style="color: #4b4b4b; font-family: arial, verdana, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;">
<span class="copy12" style="font-size: 12px;"><b style="font-weight: 800;">Body</b></span> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px; font-weight: 400;">Wrapped around a woman, the iconic Burberry trench coat evokes sensuality, femininity, and luxury. In this fragrance, an eclectic composition of fruity-chypre notes envelopes the body, creating a suggestion of effortless seduction. The fragrance opens with a fresh, green touch of absinthe and bright hints of peach and freesia. Elegance emerges in the heart, where cool notes of natural rose absolute and iris are set against the subtlety and warmth of sandalwood. In the base, woody cashmeran and creamy vanilla join the sensuality of amber and musk. </span><br />
<b style="font-size: 11px; font-weight: 800;">Notes:</b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px; font-weight: 400;">Freesia, Green Absinthe, Peach, Rose, Iris, Sandalwood, Cashmeran, Musk, Amber, Vanilla. </span><b style="font-size: 11px; font-weight: 800;">Style:</b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px; font-weight: 400;">Fruity. Luxurious. Chypre.</span></blockquote>
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This scent is nothing short of luxurious and is very feminine, just as Sephora said, but as a young woman, I feel like this scent is incredibly grown-up. I'm happy I own it and I'm very pleased with it, but it's nothing I wear to school everyday. When I dress up, I wear it, when I'm just going to class, coming home and taking a nap, I wear body spray. For career women, this scent is for you. If you have a full-time job or even a full-time internship, this scent is your best friend. You only need about two sprays to last you all day, it's light but heavy and smells great. </span><br />

If you haven't seen Chanel Peridot, you are missing out. Before Peridot I was the proud owner of 3 Chanel nail polishes but vowed to never buy another because they are pricey ($22-25) and because I don't take good care of my nail polishes and they get icky. Anyways, I cracked and went to Saks one day after school with my friend and I bought it. My friend looked at me like I was crazy for buying $25 nail polish. All in the name of fashion; fighting the good fight, right? </div>

Depending on the light, the nail polish can look green or gold. It's really neat and fun to look at it. I suggest with any Chanel or designer nail polish to get a really good top coat. I have OPI Chip Skip, but even that isn't really good. Chanel's top coat and also many Sally Hansen top coats always prove to be best. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I get so many compliments on this nail polish. Despite the price, it is one of my best purchases and will be one of those nail polishes I will use til the last drop. I recommend 100%</div>

It is best to prepare and make the best of it. Like any person obsessed with fashion/beauty/models/Karlie Kloss/magazines....I have been staying updated on what the next big things are and I would have to say I am quite excited. Even though Summer, my favorite season, is soon coming to a close, I am quite happy.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Before anything, I recently purchased the <a href="http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml;jsessionid=MNN2KHSLCQ4PSCV0KRTRPIQ?id=P267200&categoryId=C7010#">Naked Palette</a> by Urban Decay. I love every color and if I had to make my perfect palette this would be it. Not only does it come with a cute mini Primer Potion, something I have been dying to try, it also comes with a full size Good Karma brush by UD. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbF8zbEBTheF81-t7Lv2DmknjNBIrMTdsARQTk7IuXZu6AzYFQ-3JHQCqdxit4Cwc1oGh2K7ykXS6tKutDJkqYDzdNWDHNf1FU95kEWMZgctwhVV8PgwGyjzzX_Pw_ZYfVT74-IxCf4HzJ/s1600/naked+palette.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbF8zbEBTheF81-t7Lv2DmknjNBIrMTdsARQTk7IuXZu6AzYFQ-3JHQCqdxit4Cwc1oGh2K7ykXS6tKutDJkqYDzdNWDHNf1FU95kEWMZgctwhVV8PgwGyjzzX_Pw_ZYfVT74-IxCf4HzJ/s1600/naked+palette.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And as a girl who buys her makeup in palettes for the value, I am very impressed. There are no 50 cent sponge tip applicators and no rinky-dink, fall apart, makeup brushes in UD's agenda. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Onto the wishlist...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRULPMFzsC41V0YMRD_ztii0EBau_occ2MlrdQSj-wDwZUa1axjkujnxUxBTf2q79xkjBD4G-uXjLdODouBZBInQaV11PRETb4Pd4HqeagXu9LfoDwLVjTY0UdJuAILtX1AOKnnPZTMat5/s1600/chanelfoundation.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRULPMFzsC41V0YMRD_ztii0EBau_occ2MlrdQSj-wDwZUa1axjkujnxUxBTf2q79xkjBD4G-uXjLdODouBZBInQaV11PRETb4Pd4HqeagXu9LfoDwLVjTY0UdJuAILtX1AOKnnPZTMat5/s320/chanelfoundation.jpg" width="208" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/chanel-vitalumiere-aqua-ultra-light-skin-perfecting-makeup-spf-15/3142708?origin=category&resultback=211">Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Ultra-Light Skin Perfecting Makeup $45</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Usually, I would never spend more than $10 on liquid foundation, which is the price of my Covergirl NatureLuxe Liquid Foundation, but this stuff has gotten very good reviews. Not only does it promise to make your skin look perfect, you only need a drop or two to cover your whole face. In the long run, this makes it a good deal. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

My family says its because she looks like my older sister, but I would never give myself that much credit. In my opinion, she seems like she's a normal girl, not some snobby, ciggerette-smoking supermodel. And...<a href="http://fashionista.com/2011/07/looks-like-karlie-kloss-and-joe-jonas-are-for-reals-dating/">she's supposedly dating Joe Jonas</a>? Whoever she dates, she's still my favorite model! Here are some of my favorites pictures of her, all courtesy of <a href="http://nymag.com/fashion/models/kkloss/karliekloss">New York Magazine</a><br />
