Why Did You Wear That: In the Bag

bag

When my boyfriend and I first started dating, he was bewildered by the contents of my handbag.  I had everything from lipgloss to 3-D glasses to a toothbrush to a Michelangelo Ninja Turtle action figure.  I was like a boyscout, ready for anything.  My bag weighed about a ton, but I had everything I needed.

Every girl should have a few certain essentials in her bag (Okay, maybe you don’t need the 3-D glasses, but they did come in handy one Saturday morning while watching I Love the 80’s). Here’s a list of some items that should be stashed in your bag:

  • Mini hairbrush/comb (I have a comb because I like to back comb my hair)
  • Nail polish remover. Better to have plain nails than chipped nails.
  • Travel toothbrush and mini toothpaste. No one likes dragon breath.
  • Clear nail polish. Double duty- for those nails of yours and also for snags in stockings.
  • Mini bottle of lotion. No one likes dragon skin either. *Bonus- Multi-purpose oil.
  • Double sided tape. Trust me.
  • Spare bobby pins and rubber bands. Any bad hair day can be saved with the proper equipment.
  • Lip gloss. Rosebud Salve. Can be used on lips, cuticles, and cheeks for shimmer.
  • And for really seriously bad  hair days, a mini flat iron.

 

Of course having a bag that can house all of your emergency goodies is half the battle.  The best (most functional) bag I have ever owned is my Elezar Morgan Bag.  It has plenty of pockets and nooks and crannies to store everything. It is also large enough to carry a laptop in! (Oh, and it’s really freaking cute).

These items are small so they shouldn’t make your bag too heavy. Remember to clean out your bag every once in a while to get rid of any unnecessary junk you’ve accumulated.  And hey, a heavy bag is like an extra workout. Just switch shoulders from time to time in order to avoid getting a wonky gangsta lean.

Markets May Be Down, But Your Stock Could Be Going Up

So, one of my young male friends often talks about how he can not capture the heart of a worthy woman in this city.  He’s no schlub, mind you, but he hasn’t quite hit his stride in his career either.  He’s also on the younger side (read: under 30) and hasn’t quite gotten all of his partying/oat sewing out just yet.

He tends to meet lots of floozies and spends his nights with drunken sorority girls and women of low caliber.  Then the next day he wakes up (usually with one of those drunken floozies) feeling empty and most likely hungover.  I scold him about these little raunchy escapades, but to no avail.  I remind him that he is probably not hanging out in places that the respectable and date worthy women frequent.

Then I read this articleby the lovely and hilarious DABA girls.  It gave me an idea.  Maybe my dear young friend should be aiming much, much higher.  If these “take home to mama” kind of girls are feeling undersexed and under-appreciated by their banker/laid off banker bf’s, maybe there is a shot for a guy like him.  He may not be bank rolling like the guys of Wall Street, but he is charming, respectful, good looking, and I’m sure has plenty of “loving” to go around.  No disrespect, DABA girls, this might just be something fun to hold you over until the next boom on Wall Street… kind of like a disco nap before a big night out or a black and white cookie before your 10:30 dinner reservation at Waverly.  See? Everybody wins! Just a thought…

Why Did You Wear That: Rain, Rain, Go Away

If I were to go around my office today and photograph all of the women and what they are wearing today, you would see that about 98% of them are wearing some form of “rain boots.” (The other 2% don’t watch New York 1).  It took me two years of living in New York before I purchased a pair of Hunter wellies.  Clearly, I enjoyed destroying my shoes and having nasty city water soaking into my socks.  Now, keep in mind, I work in a very “stylish” fashion office, so these aren’t crunchy granola girls whose typical dry weather shoes would be Uggs.

Other than just keeping your feet dry and not ruining your shoes, rainboots also have a way of making your legs look thinner (they are bulky- therefore balancing out the thigh).  Added bonus, these suckers are pretty heavy and they give your legs a real workout when worn all day. Still not convinced?  Here are some cute styles that may make you reconsider:

Hunter Wellington Rain Boot, $155

bendel

pucci

Emilio Pucci Rain Boots, $175

jcrew

J. Crew Printed Critter Wellies, $49.50

target

Zulimas Bias Plaid Rain Boots, $24.99

P.S. Rainboots are to be worn over your pants.  Tuck your pant legs in. That is the whole point. I saw a women with her rainboots under her dress pants this morning. Clearly missing the entire point of rain boots. Good luck with your soggy hems, lady!

Beauty Buzz: Hairs to You!

It seems that you guys really love big hair- almost as much as I do.  The day that I posted about “Bump Its” was the busiest day we’ve ever seen over here at WDYWT.  So, to thank you, here’s more big  hair:

Remember when Drew Barrymore wore her hair like this to the Golden Globes? And remember how she then wore it the same way in several consecutive interviews promoting her new movie, Grey Gardens?  I’m still trying to figure this look out.  What do you think prompted her to decided that this was a good style for her?  I love big hair as much as the next gal – but really?

Here Drew is again… with more bad hair.  Do you think she has some Bump Its under there?  I just hope that she is on her way to the salon and saying, “Peace!” to her bad hair days.
