Stop on the second floor of Neiman Marcus for a wonderful selection of Christmas ornaments and decorations, made the old-fashioned way, mostly in Europe. Brings back the happiness of a simpler time, when quality was apparent in the smallest items.  Wonderful table decor and gifts, too.

Score a Michael Kors Handbag at Mall of Milennia.

Michael Kors is a uniquely American designer.  He zoomed to fame on Project Runway with former model Heidi Klum. His handbags and watches are iconic examples of American style.

For the whole Michael Kors experience, there's a Michael Kors store, upstairs at Mall of Milennia between Bloomingdales and Neiman Marcus. They have the latest styles in handbags and watches, but not a lot of inventory... it's that upscale, open space thing...  

For the very BEST Michael Kors handbag and watch selection (much larger than the Michael Kors store), head to the other end of the Mall to Macys. Vast Michael Kors handbag and watch departments beckon to you with fresh inventory. Brand new styles come in every week, so you if you saw it online, Macys probably has it. 

For a great investment that the girls will envy, ***splurge*** on a large tote or a dressy handbag that can double as a go to meeting bag, holding your iPad and folders.

For a ***cheap thrill*** score an iPhone holder with a strap. Perfect for sporting events or just running into the store. Available in lots of colors, this little bag can dip in and out of your larger purses, serving as a card and money holder and avoiding the "uh oh, my license is in my other bag" dilemma. NOTE;: Without a strap it's just a wallet and will not be nearly as useful! 

if you enjoy attention, then run, don't walk to buy a brightly-colored Michael Kors bag. There are always new colors; and you'll constantly be accosted by women who just love your bag!  This amazing pink goes with everything and, like wearing a great lipstick, it makes you feel pretty!

I
Finally, if there's a classic Michael Kors bag that you've always coveted, check the current version out and you'll find it''s even better!  This company is always improving their products, adding pockets or zippers for example, based on customer feedback.

You, just happier and younger-looking!

Want to look ten years younger? 

With a few quick tips and tricks, it's easy to turn back the clock!  Introducing the newest member of our blog family- Look Younger Now .  You'll find the latest info and products that work for fresher skin and prettier makeup. 

Today's news is from Bobbi Brown's new counter at Macy's at the Mall of Milennia.  This is a full boutique within a store, one of only two in Florida, located right in the middle of the first floor. Park at either first floor entrance and it is straight ahead.  

So here's the deal. Bobbi Brown is all about natural but BETTER and younger.  Have a problem area or a question?  That's where the Bobbi Brown approach is great. They don't try to give you a full makeover with lots of eye makeup you won't wear... they solve those tricky issues like darkening and filling in your brows without looking like Joan Crawford.  Or covering blueish under-eye circles that concealer just turns gray...

Ask for Linda Carreiro when you visit the counter.  A makeup artist from South Florida, she'll show you how to get the looks you want!  Reach her at Makeupdiva1@yahoo.com.

Here are some of my fave Bobbi Brown ideas from Summer 2013-

Lipstick- Pick a lipstick that is your natural lip color but slightly darker.  This makes you look pretty and polished but still natural. LOOK at pictures of models and actresses, they rarely have bright colored lips. If you've seen the Katie Holmes ads for Bobbi Brown, that's the look she wears...

Blush- Here's where the color goes for a natural youthful look, not on the lips! The secret is the brush. Bobbi's blush brush is about $50.  Even if you don't buy it, ask to see how to use a blush brush correctly. It's not how you think!

Eyebrows- We all rely on pencil because it's easy. Well, it's not much harder to draw little strokes in the direction the brow hair grows.  The difference is....well, you'll see!

Cream Eye-Shadow and Eye-Liner- If you're an advanced beginner or a pro, try cream shadows and liner. They are easy to put on and they STAY ON all day in the Florida heat and humidity. And the moister look is more youthful!  I didn't believe it either, seems counter intuitive...  now I'm collecting pretty colors of eye shadow.  

For liner, all you need are the basics. Well-line eyes are important! They take the focus off of the little wrinkles, etc....  Black or brown to start. Add your navy or royal blue for a trendy, open-eyed look that is  sexy at night without looking like a club chick.
