The Rebecca Minkoff Best Friends Leather Pouch Set was first brought to my attention about a month ago by fellow TBFer FedUp. And I must admit, the idea is pretty cool. When I was a kid, all we had were “Best Friends” necklaces. I remember sharing a set with my very best friend, a girl I had known since preschool. But I got to thinking, we often have best friends as grown-ups… especially us girls. So why not be proud of that fact? And with these cute little pouches, there’s no need for a cheesy necklace! You and your best friend can show off your special friendship in style, wherever you happen to be. But if you’re not feeling the whole Best Friends pouch thing, I hear that Rebecca Minkoff has also released a Best Friends Key Chain Set for Spring 2010.

I currently own a Louis Vuitton and Juicy Couture makeup bag, but that doesn’t stop me from looking at more of them. I have this weird obsession with searching for small designer goods especially cosmetic bags on the internet. Designer’s tend to make the cutest makeup bags and I always want to buy them all. I don’t purchase any of them, but it’s always nice to just stare at them.

It’s no secret that I’m not a big “Miss Marc” fan, but I have to admit that I like her latest lace collection. I love lace, and thankfully it seems to be a trend these days. I think it was a brilliant idea for Marc Jacobs to not only get in on the lace trend, but to also have Miss Marc apart of it. Miss Marc is literally adorned in lace on the cosmetic bag, and I think it’s stunning!

I love Alexander McQueen and when you can find his gorgeous accessories on sale it’s a miracle! Sales on Alexander McQueen accessories don’t happen often, and when they do it’s best to snatch them up as soon as possible.

While browsing around Zappos, I came across an amazing deal on an Alexander McQueen cosmetic pouch. I love collecting designer accessories, and I’m itching to purchase this one!

The cosmetic pouch features croc-embossed patent leather and gold hardware. This may be a tiny accessory, but I have to admit it’s pretty fabulous. I currently own a Louis Vuitton cosmetic pouch, and I think this one may blow it out of the water. The Louis Vuitton pouch is classic, whereas the Alexander McQueen pouch is definitely more stylish.

The only downfall about this pouch is that it is patent leather. I carry so many things in my purse that I would be scared that the pouch would get scratched. Patent leather is known to scratch easily, and it might scratch up even quicker when it’s tossed around in a bag. Overall, this is a stunning cosmetic pouch to add to any accessory collection you would just have to be extra careful with it.

You can purchase the Alexander McQueen “Cosmetic” Pouch at Zappos for $156. The original price of the pouch was $300.45, which makes the sale price a streal! If you love this cosmetic pouch, grab one quick before they are all gone!
