How fun is this blue eye liner? It reminds me of the late 1980s and early 1990s when blue eye liner and blue mascara were everything. Also loving this foundation powder. It has spf and is a one step process. Isn’t efficiency great? Love that!

The anonymous handbag and investment dressing are still hot. Look for chic and simple pieces this year which will transcend seasons and time.

How pretty is this long wallet from the Louis Vuitton x Yayoi Kusama collaboration! I am so excited!

As you know, I am fan of Yayoi Kusama’s artwork. I love her whimsical work with polka dots and her pop-art vibe. It is amazing how she expresses her inner feelings through pop-art. Normally pop-art, and the whole pop-art scene in the 1960s in general, was fun, but Kusama expressed really deep, troubled emotions and mental health issues through her art. It is a combination of the colorful pop-art of the 1960s and the inner depths of the classical artist. I feel honored to be able to have a small piece of her work, even if it is on a wallet. She truly is an icon of the art world.

The first collaboration Yayoi Kusama did with Louis Vuitton was roughly ten years ago, and at that time I invested in a small, . This time around, I wanted more than just cute polka dots, I wanted something reflective of Kusama’s art itself, so I decided to invest in the Louis Vuitton Sarah Wallet. I don’t own a long wallet, and it seemed like both a practical item to purchase as well as large enough to showcase Yayoi Kusama’s collaboration with Louis Vuitton. Love!

If you haven’t checked out the collaboration yet, I highly recommend doing so! There are plenty of pumpkins to choose from, and if pumpkins aren’t your thing, there are several color combinations of Yayoi Kusama’s signature polka dots. I love the blue pieces and also the black with magenta. Of course, I already have a piece of her black and white polka dots from the first collaboration with Louis Vuitton.

I love how Louis Vuitton packaged the collaboration this time around. The polka dot ribbon is so pretty and the box is ideal for storage. I plan to keep all of the packaging because it makes the collaboration whole.

Yayoi Kusama around the web:

What do you think of the second collaboration between Louis Vuitton and Yayoi Kusama? Did you invest in any pieces the first time around, or this time?

Thanks for stopping by!

Urban Decay 24 7 Glide on Eye Pencil review

urban decap 24/7 glide-on eye pencil waterproof review

The 1980s are back when it comes to make-up, and shades of blue eyeliner are hot right now. So, on a whim, I decided to purchase a few fun colors from the blue family. How fun are these sea colors? As someone who does not wear a ton of make-up, my “don’t leave the house without it on” make-up item is eyeliner. My eyes look so plain without eyeliner!

Urban Decay has a large selection of colors from their 24/7 Glide-on waterproof eye pencil collection. In addition to these fun colors, they also classic black and neutral hues. There is a color for everyone.

I love wearing waterproof eyeliner because it stays put all day. These eyeliners glide-on smoothly and offer an even color around the eye. My only complaint is that the metal cap on the pencil is hard to remove when you want to use the pencil, the pencil itself is top notch and works like a charm.
