Finding Enlightenment with Bodhi

Socialites find Nirvana through both yoga and shopping. BODHI is one of my favorite handbag lines for its craftsmanship of simple elegance and elite functionality. In the ancient language of Sanskrit, the term “Bodhi” (Boh-de,) means supreme knowledge or enlightenment. The meaning behind the BODHI brand truly suits its new line of tech accessories. However, my newest “Bagsession” a.k.a. “Bag Obsession” is the BODHI Safety Clutch (pictured right.) I totally just made up that word “Bagsession” and I am quite proud of myself.

This head turning piece with a one of a kind handle has been featured on Gossip Girl. Buying a new designer bag is always a spiritual experience. If you are interested in enlightening you wardrobe with a new BODHI bag, they are available on the BODHI website and at high-end department stores such as Nordstrom, Bloomingdales, and Henri Bendel. There is nothing like eastern spirituality to brighten up a designer handbag. The most unique part of BODHI bags are that inspiring mantras sewn into the interior of each bag such as, “Those who bend in the wind are strongest.” Therefore, these purses enlighten both body and soul.

Diet Pepsi Gets Skinny at Fashion Week

They say you can never be too rich or too thin. With the psychological ballerina thriller, Black Swan, up for best picture, thin is in.  Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week just got a little bit more sparkle with the Diet Pepsi Skinny Can.  To compliment its thin physique, the Skinny Can stands a total of 6 inches tall which is comparable to 6 feet (model height) in the sassy world of soda.  The Skinny Can will be available in stores nationwide in March. But, first “The Skinny” (as I like to call it) is currently making a stop on the runways of New York Fashion Week (Feb.10-17.)

Aside from the festivities and sexy window displays going on at the Diet Pepsi Style Studio located in Soho at 362 West Broadway, Diet Pepsi will be offering onsite refreshments at Lincoln Center with exclusive giveaways and sponsorships. Diet soda is all about having your cake and eating it too. You don’t have to be a socialite to know that zero calorie sweetness is indulgence at its best.  I guess champagne won’t be the only sparkling beverage gracing the runways and after parties of New York Fashion Week.

My 2010 Christmas List

Inspired by my favorite holiday song, Santa Baby, I decided to completely bling out my pint-sized Christmas tree Tiffany’s style. Though my original plan was to have ornaments for all of the excessive luxury items mentioned in the song, I found it impossible to find ornaments depicting the deed to a platinum mine or a duplex.  Trust me, I spent days looking.  However, I am still very happy with how my tree turned out.  So happy in fact, that it moved me to create a Christmas list of my own.  Seeing that things are probably chaotic up in the North Pole due to the plight of global warming, I also included visual aids and links to where the products can be purchased to ensure accuracy and make it easier for the elves.

Dear Santa,

Since I would never do anything to jeopardize my future husband’s political career, I have been a very good girl this year.

Presenting My 2010 Christmas List:

1. iPad + Wi-Fi 3G: A tech diva always has to have to right accessories. They often includes sleek electronics.  Not only does an iPad go with any outfit, but AT&T’s 3G network gives you an automatic connection to Wi-Fi hotspots which is important for a blogger.

2.  Henri Bendel iPad Case: You are not a socialite until your accessories have accessories.  Therefore, it is vital that my iPad with 3G reside in a designer case.

2.  Burberry Rain Boots with Scarf to Match (Haymarket Check): With the impending royal wedding in Spring of 2011, British designers are going to be hot and I need to be prepared.  I have always been a fan of coordinated plaids. I really need this fashionable combination to get me through the rest of the winter.

4.  Coach Madison Clover Print Medium Wallet: Coach leatherwear has always been a signature of mine.  I really need a new wallet and this one is perfect.  Just be sure to include a matching bag of the same print.

5.  Tory Burch Tumbled Leather Reva Ballerina Flats (Every Color): Since my feet can’t seem to stomach heels on an everyday basis I have turned to flats.  Seeing that I am going to get a lot of use out of them, my new flats should be top of the line.  I also need variety because some days I feel like metallics, others are patent leather days, etc.  I also have a lot of outfits that require many different colors.  By the way, I am a size 7.

Merry Christmas!

Love,
