“This is a perfect way to combine two of my passions—music and giving back to the community”

The Tory Burch Foundation helps provide economic opportunities, mentoring and education to U.S. women looking to start their own business. The foundation was created in 2009 to economically empower women in these challenging financial times. This week, Oct 18-22 is National Women’s Business Week and in honor of this event Tory Burch has created a limited edition compilation CD. All proceeds from the sale of the CD benefit Accion USA, the microfinance partner for the Tory Burch Foundation.

The CD and the sunflower logo accessories are available exclusively at Tory Burch boutiques and on www.toryburch.com. The CD is $16.99 and all the proceeds benefit the foundation. How great is that! The Tory Burch Foundation’s logo is the sunflower which was derived from a special pendant Burch’s father Buddy gave his mother and then passed down to Burch.

The CD is pretty good, I have it on my iPhone! I received two CD’s so I wanted to share the love….so I am giving away the other Tory Burch CD to one lucky reader! Simply leave a comment below and the winner will be chosen at random. The giveaway is open until October 31, 2010 (US/Canada).

Just throw it in the makeup bag!

March 30, 2010

How do you tote around your favorite beauty supplies? Every gal needs a makeup bag to carry her coveted swag and why not carry your little luxuries around in style? I currently carry my day-to-day makeup in a Christian Dior logo bag and I’m looking to upgrade my carrying case. While browsing around online I came across some of the cutest makeup bags and I simply could not decide which ones I loved the best. Here are just a few of my favorites:

Marc by Marc Jacobs  Pretty Nylon Train Case

The prices range from $12-$40 and are available exclusively at Sephora. I love the bright color with the poppy accent, there is a size to suit every carrying need that you may have.

These are just a small sampling of the makeup bags that I’ve come across and LOVED. There are so many choices available that it makes it hard to pick just one. What kind of makeup bag do you tote your goodies in?
