Top 5 Louis Vuitton Bags for Teens

I love designer bags - in fact, I have a complete fetish for them. As an accessories girl, bags and shoes top my list everytime I hit the mall and fill up my closet. The ultimate in luxury bags, though, is the french fashion house, Louis Vuitton. There are tons of bags to chose from, so I've chosen 5 as my favorite Louise Vuitton bags for teens. Hey, even if you aren't a teen, these bags will stand the test of time.

1) Louis Vuitton Pochette Accessoires in Monogram

I love the small style of this bag - it's perfect for your wallet, keys, cell and lip gloss - what more does a girl need? I've chosen it in the classic brown on brown monogram logo print. It's one of the more afforable items in the Vuitton line.

2) Louis Vuitton Pochette Accessoires in Multicolor

This handbag is the same as the above - small, cute and compact. The difference is that this bag is filled with fun color and spunk. With either a white or a black base and the LV logo in loads of cute colors, this bag screams young and fun. It's about twice the price of the traditional multicolor, and is a part of the Murakami line.

3) Louis Vuitton Speedy 25 Monogram

I love, love, love this bag, and I think it's the perfect LV starter bag. It's a handbag, so it won't fit on your shoulder, but it's a great size. It's a popular bag with celebrites : we've seen variations of it being carried by Lindsay Lohan, Hilary Duff and Jessica Simpson (in the multicolored Murakami variety). A fun sidenote about this bag is that is was designed for actress Audrey Hepburn. Funny, we think it's as timeless as she is.

4) Louis Vuitton Zippy Organizer in Classic Monogram

When I think of this cute accessory - the Zippy Organizer - I think of a young girl who knows where she's going in life, and has a clear plan. It's more of a wallet, or clutch, but has plenty of room for all of your credit cards, store cards, ID and money. I've seen loads of girls walking around with this in place of a purse. I'm smitten with it!

5) Louis Vuitton Petite Bucket in Classic Monogram

You'll surely notice that I've been sticking to the monogram line for most of this top 5. I think that if you're going to start your bag collection with an LV, it should be a classic one that will last forever. That being said, if you need a bigger bag that will hold everything you need and still be stylish and sit on your shoulder, the Petite Bucket bag is the one for you. It's unique shape make it really eye catching. Beg mom for this one!

Handbags and Women-Choice or Biological Destiny?

By Henrietta Timmons

Handbags have been one of the necessities of life for women ever since recorded history began. It was important to have the items that one used often close at hand and articles found in a purse have ranged from ornate sewing scissors (17th century)to todays mandatory cell phone and credit cards.

Why is it that women carry their belongings around and men just have their wallets? My opinion is that the need to carry something to hold goods is a fundamental need rooted in the biology of females. Who is the main caregiver of the family from prehistory to the present? Yes, I know that traditional roles are gradually evolving but what person in the "traditional" family is the most responsible for taking care of everyone? In most cases, it it the woman who gets people organized and make sure everyone has whatever they need.

Biologically speaking, the female of our species takes care of her offspring and makes sure that all needs will be taken care of once the home is left. I believe that this has evolved into women carrying all that they need and what everyone else could possibly want in their handbag. To illustrate - when you go out with a male friend do you ask him for tissues, pen, or paper? No - you ask another female. Another nuturer is more likely to have some basic necessities than a male.

Am I saying that there is a basic "purse carrying" gene? No - what I am saying is that, biologically speaking, females are the caregivers of the world and have always had this role thrust upon them since the beginning of Homo sapiens. It is our destiny (both physically and psychologically) to make sure that the world is in order. We can't handle the entire planet but we do our best to organize our own particular sphere! Our "caregiving" instincts are attuned to others and, if we fight this destiny, there is a feeling of things not being "quite right" around us. So enjoy carrying your handbag and know that you are making the global community a better place for all!

Tips for Wearing Perfume

When you apply perfumes apply them to pulse points such as the folds in the crook of your elbow and back of knees, wrist, neck and cleavage. Make sure you do not rub wrists together as this crushes the smell.

Spraying a little into the air is also good if you walk straight into the perfume. This helps to diffuse it over your body. Do not simply apply to the neck always work up the body as the scent rises. Also consider wearing in your bra a small ball of perfume impregnated cotton wool.

Consider layering perfumes. Use all the same perfume in various products. Begin with shower or bath gel and then rub in body lotion or spray with a matching after bath spray. Finally apply the scent preferably as perfume or EDP.

I find that the use of body lotion makes you feel really scented and it is probably to do with starting at the feet and applying the scent all over allowing the scent to rise. It also makes you feel extra special and very pampered.

Keep bottles tightly stopped, away from direct heat and out of sunlight. You will certainly know when they have gone off as you'll notice that you do not get that lovely boost of heavenly scent when you spray or dab and the fragrance will look darker in the bottle. Some perfumes come in blue or opaque bottles and these store perfume well.

Do you wear perfume?

People have used perfume, oils and unguents on their bodies for thousands of years in lesser or greater amounts dependant on fashion whims. The early Egyptians used perfumed balms as part of religious ceremonies and later as part of pre love making preparations. Myrrh and Frankincense were exuded gums from trees used to scent the atmosphere in rituals. Other plants such as rose and peppermint were steeped in oils until a perfumed unguent formed. The unguent was then rubbed into the skin. It's interesting to note that perfume has come full circle today as more and more of us seek out high quality aromatherapy perfumed oils to use in exactly the same way as our ancestors did.

Products that enhance the feel of skin and the smell of the body have been highly valued in every culture. Trade routes introduced spices to other parts of the world and a wider range of scents could be made. In the past people often mixed their own potions using home methods creating their own aromatherapy products. Many homes had a still room where essences were steeped out of flowers and herbs.

When you apply perfumes apply them to pulse points such as the folds in the crook of your elbow and back of knees, wrist, neck and cleavage. Make sure you do not rub wrists together as this crushes the smell. Spraying a little into the air is also good if you walk straight into the perfume. This helps to diffuse it over your body.

Finally apply the scent preferably as perfume or EDP. I find that the use of body lotion makes you feel really scented and it is probably to do with starting at the feet and applying the scent all over allowing the scent to rise. It also makes you feel extra special and much pampered.

Keep bottles tightly stopped, away from direct heat and out of sunlight. You will certainly know when they have gone off as you'll notice that you do not get that lovely boost of heavenly scent when you spray or dab and the fragrance will look darker in the bottle. Some perfumes come in blue or opaque bottles and these store perfume well.

Try to choose perfumes that suit you, not your friends or family. Test a perfume in a store and then walk around for a minimum of ten minutes. Some perfumes take more like half an hour or an hour to truly develop.

Put a few drops of perfume onto an oil burner to scent your bedroom. At Christmas use musky oriental room fragrances in the form of perfumed incense sticks, candle or sprays to enhance the familiar associated yuletide seasonal smells of cinnamon, orange oil, pine, frankincense and myrrh.
