|  | Mishmash Mesh: The Ornj Bag
| 02/22/2008, 08:01 PM
| |  | My favorite accessories are usually intrinsically unique and highly functional. I am not a splurger, so it's gotta be the right price and I must covet it accordingly.
This morning I was introduced to the Ornj bag, by designer David Shock. Made of orange construction fencing, and either lined with felt (so you don' t lose your keys through the big holes!), or without felt (perfect for qu...

| |  | *Sigh* There is something so immensely visually satisfying about double-walled cosmetic packaging. (I could just sit here and stare at them all day. Does that make me a total nut case? Y-E-S!)

| |  | Like most of you, I wasn' t born with big, luscious lips. Sure, I've used tricks like plumping gloss and lip liner to make them look fuller. (Still haven' t tried injectables--sounds waaaay too painful.) But with no fix in sight, what' s a pucker-challenged trendinista supposed to do to get her lips noticed?
