Nordstorm Shopping

I recently stopped by Nordstorm with the intention of not buying anything.  However...I did end up leaving the store with these two lovely purchases.


Tory Burch 'Marion' Leather Saddlebag
 This Tory Burch shoulder bag is absolutely gorgeous.  It is a luxurious Italian leather in a quilted diamond pattern.  The gold chain can be worn on the shoulder or pulled up for a double shoulder strap. The inside is quite spacious and a big wallet and small make-up bag would fit perfect.

I like that the chain strap has leather going through.  I could not find this exact bag on the Nordstorm website.  However, Tory Burch stores may still have it in stock.

The leather texture is divine and reminds of a Chanel bag.  The color is perfect for upcoming spring and summer months.  The only downside is of course, color transfer from dark colored clothing. 
Tory Burch 'Ella' Nylon Tote
 I cannot wait to use this bag!  This will be my work bag.  It is sturdy and spacious!  I can fit my lunch bag, a pair of shoes, make-up bag, some notebooks and it does not look weighted down.  The shoulder strap is comfortable.

I am going to get good use out of this bag.  I find it is a great alternative to the Louis Vuitton Neverfull, which was the bag I was going to purchase.  However, when I tried this bag on at the store, I feel in love.  I hope to use this bag for a few years.

Sephora VIB Sale - Makeup/Skincare items

Here are the items I purchased from the 2013 Sephora VIB Sale.

(LORAC Pro Palette)



































The LORAC PRO Palatte is make-up junkie essential.  This Sephora exclusive boxed set includes the 16-color eye shadow palette, an eyeshadow base, mascara, and liquid eyeliner; all from the PRO collection.  At $48 USD, this set is a real steal.

The eye shadows are a great variety of neutral matte and shimmery colors.  The texture is soft and velvety with some fall-out, but not a big deal.  As this is my first LORAC purchase, I find the quality is good, however not as beautiful as Urban Decay eye shadows.

I have not tried these products yet, as I am trying to finish up other products first.
