What's in my Coach Swingpack?

Coach Madison Swingpack

Rebecca Un Deux Trois Pouch

When I travel, I usually always take a swingpack with me.  During my vacation to Canada, my Coach Madison swingpack was invaluable.  

I found myself getting splashed with water on a boat (the Maid of the Mist at Niagara Falls), traipsing around Par de la Chute-Montmorency, and braving the concrete jungles of Toronto, Montreal and Quebec City - and using this on days when I needed something a little more compact and effortless and easy to carry than my purse.

Worn as a crossbody bag, the long straps drape over the body well, allowing for comfort, and for most of the time I forgot that I was even wearing a swingpack!  It's a great crossbody bag, that just happens to be the right size to suit all of my needs.  I can even fit a water bottle in here - and that's a big deal for me!  

This is the same swingpack I took with me to Egypt - so it's been around.  But because of the great quality, it's in really good condition, with just a minor scuff or two on the leather Coach label.  The fabric is treated, so if you do happen to splash some water on it (shudder!), it can be wiped away easily, with no watermark left behind.

Birchbox July 2011: Cynthia Rowley and Barbie!

Cynthia Rowley's Birchbox July 2011

As pretty as it all looks, I was rather underwhelmed by the July Birchbox.

The Cynthia Rowley sleeve for the July 2011 Birchbox

I expected something different from designer Cynthia Rowley, who is the curator for this month's Birchbox.  Instead, she played it safe with a boring selection, including the Redken Shine Flash hair spray, which I think it a complete waste of time.

I found Cynthia Rowley's Birchbox to be uninspiring.

How pretty it looks!

Zoya Pandora

Thanks to Birchbox, because they introduced me to Zoya nail polish. And Pandora does not disappoint. It is undoubtedly the most long lasting nail polish I have ever worn - I had it on for two weeks straight (with a base coat and top coat) and it did not chip - not even a little - not even once!  Absolutely amazing nail polish that is cruelty free and free of nasty chemicals. 


I already own a full size bottle of Pandora which I purchased several months ago.

Nuxe Oil and Philosophy's Purity.

Much more interesting to me than this months Birchbox, is my Cynthia Rowley Barbie doll (I am an avid collector!), and I bought this little gem in 2004. She is simply lovely.

I love the way Birchbox matched her trademark blue color.

This month I received:

Philosophy - Purity Facial Cleanser

Nuxe - Multi-usage Dry Oil

Redken - Shine Flash

Zoya - Touch Collection Nail Polish in Pandora

EXTRA - Kind - Almond & Apricot
