Nine times out of ten, getting a Prada handbag is going to be a good fashion investment. Today, the vast majority of these bags look really nice, are versatile and are trendy additions to your wardrobe. But there are three special bags that Prada has made that are going to stand the test of time and that you going to just keep on carrying season after season, and year after year.

So, what are the best Prada handbags? These are purses that women can carry them around because they are versatile, made of high-quality materials and trendy.

Prada Prize #3: The third best Prada bag is the Prada bowling bag, which came out this year. This bag is cute and timeless, which means that you will be able to carry it wherever you go. Another great about this bag with two small handles is that you can get it in several colors and styles. The Prada bowling bag is boxy and big enough to hold almost anything that you would need. Whether you want it in red, green or a classical color like black, you’ll be able to find it.

Prada Prize #2: The second best Prada bag doesn’t have a name, but the BR2375 is total luxury. Made from buffalo leather (how the buffalos got to Italy is beyond me, but somehow Prada made it happens), this bag is soft and delish. The bag has a push lock closure and the back flap folds over the front of the bag to close it. Everyone will know you are carrying a Prada because of the metal faceplate. This bag is classic and classy.

Prada Prize #1: The number one Prada bag is the shopper’s leather shoulder tote. You may be wondering why a shoulder tote is the number one Prada handbag, and the answer is simple. If you are able to carry a Prada bag with a retail price of over $1000 to the grocery store, and are able to put your purchases from the mall in such a luxurious bag, people are always going to equate you with this bag. With this Prada bag, you are going to be able to carry it everywhere, and everyone will be jealous of your bag.

Now that you know the top three Prada bags, you may want to know the three Prada bags that you should keep your fingers off of. Sure, the celebrities and super models can get away with carrying these bags, but the average woman will just look like a clown with these bags.

Bad Bag #3: Unless you just escaped from the circus or are a nanny, keep away from the Prada Plex Stampato Tote. This bag just looks like a mess. Plus, with a retail price of about $1200 it’s not an affordable mess. Once you carry it, you’ll not be able to carry it again, because everyone will notice this loud bag.

Bad Bag #2: For $2,600, women can get the Prada bag of the future: the metallic gaufre messenger bag. If you are planning on dressing like Judy Jetson for Halloween, this may be the right bag. Otherwise, you may want to pass. Puffy, shiny and quilted aren’t really a good mix.

Bad Bag #1: The Prada Napa Fringe Hobo is another bag that ordinary women won’t be able to carry. Carrying this purse would make any normal woman look like there was a small animal growing out of her arm. The best advice for this bag is to let the celebrities carry it, and just laugh at them.

Sure, Prada is known for good bags, but there are a lot of them that you should not buy. If you think about your purchase and go for a classic bag, you’ll be able to carry it around for a long time.

If you can’t open your closet because it is so stuffed with designer handbags that if you even turn the knob, a tidal wave of purses will turn your bedroom into a mess, you need help. If you are trying, unsuccessfully, to curb your designer handbag addiction, here are 10 steps to help you give up your designer purse curse.

Giving up your straight-up Handbag addiction!

1. Unlike with a lot of self-help programs, you don’t want to try and go cold turkey and stop buying handbags altogether. If you are addicted to handbags it won’t work. The first step is to realize that you can’t stop your addiction suddenly.

2. The second step is to make a budget. You aren’t just going to make a budget for your handbags, listing exactly how many Marc Jacobs you can buy versus Coach bags. You are going to make a budget for everything in your life including rent, utilities and car insurance. Yes, it’s a drag, but you have to do it.

3. Now that you have your budget in hand, you are going to limit how many purses you purchase. If you only have $100 extra in your budget, and the Marc Jacobs Clutch costs about $400, you will now know that you can afford to buy one every three months, instead of buying the green leather one and the black one at the same time.

4. If you are having a problem keeping your willpower to not buy a designer handbag, you are going to want to prevent a rash purchase. 20 years ago you would just put the money into a bank, which would have pretty much prevented you from buying a handbag, but with shopping online and ATMs, you are going to want to literally freeze your plastic. Get a big container, fill it with water, put your credit cards in it, and stick it in the freezer. That way, if you want to make a purchase you have to wait for the money to thaw out.

5. Try to avoid temptations. Throw away the tabloids or just don’t purchase them to avoid seeing handbags. If you look in some of these rags, you’ll see that every week a new celebrity is carrying around a different designer handbag. Sure, it’s nice to see who has the same bag that you want, but it’s just too tempting to buy the latest it-bag.

6. If you are feeling a bit depressed about not having the latest bag, organize your own collection. Even if you only have a couple of purses, you can spend the time that you would normally spend shopping doing a bit of work on them.

7. If you are sick and tired of carrying around the same handbag, you may want to take some of your older bags out of retirement. Sure, they may have been popular couple years ago, but that doesn’t mean you still can’t carry them around today. A good handbag will always be a good handbag.

8. To get something new into your wardrobe, you may have to trade or borrow. Hey, it’s won’t cost you a lot of money, and no one has to know it’s not yours.

9. Handbags are expensive things to collect, so you may want to start on another collection. Why not start a stamp collection? Stamps are only $.49 so you could literally buy hundreds of them (if not thousands) for the price of one handbag.

10. If it is that tough to give up your handbag addiction, you may just want go ahead and buy one. You’ll be disappointed in yourself, but at least you will have the satisfaction of carrying around the latest bag!

How to Choose a Dress

There are many things to consider when you are trying to select a dress for your special occasion. Some of the more important considerations for choosing the right dress include the color, dress style, and comfort.

The color of your dress should flatter your skin tone. If you have an olive skin tone, you’ll want to avoid dresses in pink or yellow, while a peach colored skin tone will want to avoid orange and red dresses. Some people say black is flattering on everyone, but people with pale skin tend to look very washed out when they wear black clothing. Grey seems to look nice on all skin tones.

The style of dress is important in your mission to choose your best look, and should be determined by your body shape. Petite ladies are flattered when wearing A-line style dresses, and avoid the old-fashioned bell-shaped ball gowns, as they appear to “swallow” you up. If you have a larger than desired bottom section, you should select a dress with thin straps or no straps; and/or a dress with a draping bustle in order to bring the eyes upward and away from your trouble spot. Ladies who are insecure about their stomachs should consider dress styles with empire waists or corset style tops, while ladies who are insecure about their arms should avoid strapless or sleeveless dresses and select short sleeved or pretty see-through sleeves in lace.

Maybe the most important consideration when selecting a dress to wear, is how comfortable you feel while wearing it. If the dress is too restricting or you just aren’t comfortable when you put it on, you aren’t going to have as nice a time as you would in a dress that makes you comfortable!

Cheap Dress VS. Fancy Dress

Budget is usually a concern when deciding what dress to purchase. It’s very rare that you’ll find a fancy dress with a cheap price tag- unless you happen to hit a great clearance sale with all fancy dresses being placed on the cheap dress racks!

If money is a major concern for you, then you’ll probably want to select the nicest dress you can find from the cheap dress section. Cheap doesn’t mean ugly- you will have less selection in lower priced dresses, however, if you look long enough you will find one that works with your budget as well as for your appearance.

On the other hand, if money isn’t as much of a concern, you may want to go right to the fancy dress section of your favorite store and see what you can find!

Choosing a Dress at the Dress Store

There are many ways to shop for your dress- online, at the dress store or from friend’s closets! If you decide to go the traditional route and choose a dress at the dress store, make sure you are prepared to try on several before making a purchase. You’d be surprised at how different dresses can fit even if they’re all the same size.

How to Choose Shoes that Match Your Dress

The best way to choose shoes that match your dress is to try them on together! You do not have to match the color exactly, but you want to make sure the colors don’t clash. Also, consider the fabric of your dress when selecting shoes to match, and whether or not your dress has embellishments like jewels- if so, you could make a fashion statement by selecting shoes with jewels as well!

When it comes to makeup, many people are misled into thinking the highest priced products will easily out-compete their less expensive counterparts - but as many world-class makeup artists will testify: the secret to truly gorgeous makeup is in the application process, not the product itself. The key to this process is the right set of makeup brushes and a suitable mirror, whether it is wall mounted, with an integral light or magnifying. Even the most makeup savvy ladies can become unstuck by the dreaded ‘tide line’ around the jaw area - a problem that a lighted mirror could easily remedy. Before purchasing a makeup mirror, it is important to assess where you would like the mirror to be situated, and what key functions you need from it.

True Image Mirrors

A ‘True Image’ mirror is invaluable to show an image of how your makeup will appear to the outside world - in that the mirror does not distort or magnify the image. This is great for applying makeup evenly, and especially for admiring your handiwork as a whole once you have finished the application, to check if any areas need to be touched up.

Magnifying Mirrors

A mirror that offers a magnifying side is perfect for applying tricky eye makeup, and is especially helpful for plucking and shaping eyebrows. This type of mirror is also a great asset to anyone who usually wears glasses and would have difficulty applying makeup when they were removed. A magnifying side can be very useful for paying extra attention to skin imperfections and blemishes, particularly when applying concealer to dark areas under eyes etc. The majority of magnifying mirrors swing to give a ‘true image’ on the reverse side. A variety of magnifications are available. The lowest gives three times magnification (generally referred to as X 3 mag) progressing to X 5 magnification, X 7 magnification and a high X 10 magnification. The ten times magnification mirror will reveal amazing detail such as pore size, fine hairs etc. Although this can be quite a shock when you first use it – remember that others do not see this detail when they look at you! It is for your benefit only. Which magnification you choose really comes down to personal preference, which may be influenced by your visual acuity.

Pedestal Mirrors

Pedestal mirrors are ideal for applying makeup when placed on a dressing table, or positioned on a higher surface if standing. Pedestal mirrors come in a variety of heights and sizes, and many can be adjusted to the perfect height.

Wall-mounted Mirrors

Often in a bathroom, it can be difficult to find space on a surface to place a mirror, particularly one that is well lit to give the best position in which to apply makeup or perform part of a beauty regime. A wall-mounted mirror can solve this problem, especially in smaller bathrooms where surfaces can often become cluttered. An extendable wall mirror will allow you to angle the mirror however needed, and at the perfect height for you. A mirror with a magnifying side will also be extremely useful for male grooming, especially for precision shaving and trimming.

Lighted Mirrors

For the best results, it is essential to apply makeup in good light conditions, particularly when applying foundation and concealer. However, in reality it may be hard to find a good light source and angle for which to do makeup in. Luckily a simple solution to this is to purchase a mirror that has a built in light source. This will ensure that no matter where you are, you will always have a beautifully illuminated visage, allowing an even application of makeup, particularly in the difficult jaw area which can often be obscured by shadows when applying. An illuminated mirror can also be indispensable for those who travel. Hotel mirrors can often be situated in poorly lit areas and mounted flat against the wall - proving tricky to accurately apply makeup with. A mirror with a built-in light source can either be mains supply electricity or battery operated. A battery operated mirror is extremely versatile in that it can be used absolutely anywhere - especially for use in bathrooms or for travelling.

Travel mirrors

It can be very frustrating to arrive on holiday and find the hotel bathroom mirror inadequate for your beauty regime needs. They can sometimes be situated in an awkward position whereby you have to lean over a sink or shelving to get close enough to do your makeup. You can solve all your problems by taking the right mirror with you. Obviously if you are flying, you don’t want it to be heavy so a lightweight acrylic mirror is ideal. You could choose one on a pedestal that will sit on any available surface, leaving both hands free. Alternatively, a jointed mirror that can be held in the hand for close inspections or bent to stand on a surface provides you with the best all-round use. It is also useful to check your hair from behind when viewed in another mirror. It can also be invaluable for shaving use. Acrylic mirrors are available in a variety of magnifications to suit all needs and usually have a ‘true image’ side too.

Truly beautiful nails need care and attention on a regular basis and what better way to pamper them, than with an exquisitely crafted manicure set. When choosing a manicure set, bear in mind what requirements you need - Do your nails often snag? Are they fast growing? Do you have brittle nails? Different nail types may require slightly different implements, so it is worth considering this before you make a purchase.

A standard manicure set should always contain nail scissors, tweezers and a nail file, but many luxury sets have extra implements such as clippers, nail pliers and under nail cleaners.

Nail clippers are great for cutting down long nails, but can leave the tips of nails angular and square. To create a less jagged and more rounded tip to nails, manicure scissors are ideal as the blades are curved. This means they can follow the natural shape of the nails more easily. Another key advantage of nail scissors is that you can see exactly how much of the nail is being trimmed, which is sometimes difficult to judge with nail clippers. Nail scissors are also a good investment for those with brittle nails – to prevent nails from snapping it is best to keep them short. Cutting brittle nails with nail clippers may cause them to split, whereas nail scissors produce much less pressure on the nail when cutting, reducing the chance of this happening.

Nail pliers are more robust, and create a greater cutting force. As such, they should be avoided for use on delicate nails, but are perfect for thick nails – especially toe nails! Often, normal nail clippers or scissors just can’t adequately cut toe nails, but with professional quality nail pliers, cutting tough nails becomes easy.

Cuticle shapers, or a ‘hoof stick’ can be used to push and shape cuticles back from covering the nail, to the base of the nail bed. Not only does this give the nail a neater appearance, but it actually helps promote nail growth. Overgrown cuticles cover the nail plate and this impedes growth, so regular cuticle care can help those with shorter nails. Shapely cuticles are also an advantage for those who frequently paint their nails, as it creates a better shaped nail, and painting over the top of cuticles will result in nail varnish chipping more easily.

Longer nails may benefit from a nail cleaner, as these are specifically designed to reach under the nail and help remove any debris and dirt that collects under it.

Many manicure sets also have a nail file, which is always a great investment. Nail files are perfect for shaping the tip of a nail once it has been cut to a desired length, or for getting rid of jagged ends when a nail tears. Ensure that you file in one direction only for a smooth edge.

Manicure implements come in a variety of finishes: stainless steel, chrome or even gold-plated. Professional quality implements are considerably more expensive but should last a lifetime and carry a guarantee. Manicure cases are available in many different styles and finishes. A small neat one is perfect for keeping in a handbag for that unforeseen emergency! Leather sets are more expensive than those made from man-made materials, but make a lovely present to give or receive.
