Purple Lab Launches Look Book Contest: PAMELA PEKERMAN

Dear Bagistas,

My favorite former boss (and mentor) Karen Robinovitz has been causing waves in the beauty world with her empowering beauty brand, Purple Lab. Purple Lab wants you to remember when makeup used to be playful and fun, so they launched a Look Book starring fashion and beauty bloggers and friends. The Look Book is meant to inspire women to experiment with beauty tips and tricks, while creating an effortless online shopping experience.

To celebrate the Look Book launch, Purple Lab is launching a contest, inviting consumers to recreate and upload looks inspired by the Look Book, on Purple Lab's Facebook fan page for a chance to win Purple Lab beauty products. The contest will run through July 3, 2010.

I love supporting amazing women like Karen, especially when it's an amazing women who shared so much with me when I was starting out in this industry. Remember ladies, share the knowledge, share the love and help your fellow power woman. OK, that was my public service announcement for the day. :-)

Have a bag-a-licious day!

Win a Handbag, Coach Pierre Le-Tan Umbrella Tote: PAMELA PEKERMAN

Dear Bagistas,

As a thank you to all of you for following my bag-a-licios life - literally - I'm going to be offering exciting handbag giveaways every month via Twitter. Since the summer sun is at our door, I figured you could use a fabulous beach tote.

Nothing says classic, summer-time Americana like a beach tote from Coach and this season, the company has tapped artist Pierre Le-Tan (known for his poetic illustrations and expressive use of color) to create several unique offerings. The collection features a series of whimsical seashore illustrations that will adorn the facades of various beach totes and accessories. My personal favorite is the Umbrella Tote which has a sketch of a yellow and white umbrella stuck in the sand and the signature Coach turnlock closure. There is something childlike and free about Le-Tan’s designs that beckons us all to remember a simpler time – pre 2001, pre recession, heck pre 1000 TV channels! Embrace the need for simple, quite time in the sun, sand and at see. Coach’s Pierre Le-Tan Umbrella Tote retails for $268, but YOU CAN WIN IT.
