I am back! The new Autumn Winter 2008 collection

Have you seen the new website design (http://www.pibiones.com/) ? Please check the new autumn winter collection 2008 and write back to tell me what are you thoughts about it. No need to say, I have been very busy with photo shoots and editing. The Spring Summer 2008 handbag collection is ready, I am very satisfied with the result. As I mentioned before on the blog, the new ss08 handbag collection is entirely made out of eco-friendly handwoven fabrics. Even the handbag accessories are made out of fabric. The Pibiones handbag linings are made of beautiful ends of rolls and off cuts recycled new fabrics from these Sardinian factories. These fabrics would usually end up in skips and landfill, to be incinerated.

  • A fun craft thing with jeans A couple of the boutiques here have shown very expensive purses made out of jeans.

Beauty product day!

Every have one of those days where you just get obsessed with buying beauty products and can’t stop? That day was today.

Duane Reade: I picked up my latest nail polish crush “Ballet Slipper” from Essie. I selected this color for my manicure last week, and now I must have some at home for all times. It is the perfect summer shade. Light, airy and easy going!

Bergdorf Goodman: It was time to stock up on my Laura Mercier Tinter Moisturizer, aka The One Makeup Product I Can’t Live Without. Normally I get Porcelain, but this lady gave me Nude. Not sure if I should return it for my normal color, or give Nude a shot.

Sephora: I’ve been wanting to give bronzer try for a while. Since I have fair skin and stay out of the sun my skin never ever has a “sun kissed glow”…so I might as well fake it. I picked up a CARGO bronzer that is nice and shimmery, but not over the top so I can avoid the dreaded Dina Lohan Orange Face. I also picked up a new Bronzer brush.

The Body Shop: A favorite of my teenage years, I’ve rediscovered the Body Shop in the past year or so. I’m hooked on all the fruity shower gels and buy them in all sorts of scents. Today I ran in to purchase a tube of Seaweed Exfoliant after reading this post & comments over at fashionista.com. Of course now I’m curious about this Cellulite Serum so I may be making a return trip!
