BAG LADIES LOOK OF THE WEEK: Amber Rose

We caught a shot of Amber Rose shopping last week on Robertson Blvd. in LA, "bunned" up with beau Kanye West. Some folks call their inseparability as part of her quest for fame and she's not as into him as the pics of them out and about would suggest. But nevertheless, you will most often see her stepping out looking fab and nevertheless, Bag Ladies is claiming this look as one our faves so it is Bag Ladies Look of the Week. Stay close, we'll tell you how to get it.

Bag Ladies Look of the Week: Amber Rose

If you listen to Bag Ladies on a regular which we of course know you do :-), then you no doubt know that we love Amber Rose' style so when we happened upon recent pictures of her and boyfriend Kanye West taking a shopping stroll through the streets of Manhattan, we couldn't wait to see what "fit" she was rocking. We just love the simplicity and the ease of what she put together but yet she's still keeping w/current trends by sporting the fedora and slouchy sandals. She's not trying so hard.

Look for how you can get this same look for less in tomorrow's edition of Thru The Eyes of Bag Ladies and on tomorrow's Bag Ladies Reality Radio at 7p EST.

Bag Ladies Reality Radio ...RECAP

Bag Ladies had a ball last evening chatting it up about some of the latest headlines to include women being bullied in the workplace and why it's on the rise as well as what can result from a woman being scorned. Dookie joined in and graced us with her antics. What's Poppin had us gossiping about the latest celeb juice including the potential demise of Baby Phat, Nia Long's comments about rappers and singers tryna be actors and Amber Rose signing w/ FORD. There's more but you gotta check our our featured episode, A Woman Scorned OnDemand at Bag Ladies Reality Radio.

Bag Ladies discussed having paid a visit this week to one of the more swankier salons in the WDC area, Corte and the lovely time had checking out the lavish interior and chatting with the owner of Corte Salon about his vision and clientele, while mixing and mingling with DC socialites. The owner graciously offered you, our listeners a discount on services but you gotta check out last nite's episode OnDemand in order to take advantage.

Stephanie M. from The Pampering Junkies chatted with us about the upcoming Pynk Feathers and Wellness Treasures Expo on August 29th and the fact that this Sunday The Pampering Junkies are partnering w/ District 51 to join the Breakfast Club at Indulj to offer FREE massages, make-up sessions and more. Did you get that? We said FREE. Click here for more details.

Following are three of Madame Myra's Top 10 Ways NOT To Break Up With A Woman unless the man wants to find himself in the same position as Arturo Gatti and Steven McNair:

No.10 - Under the influence
A little Dutch courage might make taking the plunge a touch easier, but a sloppy split becomes all the more sloppy if you’ve had one or two or a few too many. Being high is also, quite obviously, ill advised. It is near guaranteed that breaking up will not go well if you’re giggling uncontrollably, paranoid, jonesing for barbecue chips, or experiencing the symptoms of having used altering chemicals. This goes for her as well; if you know she’s not all there, it’s one of the worst ways to break up with a woman. You want to make sure that you are both of sound mind when you’re breaking the bad news.

No.8 - Remotely
Yes, this is the 21st century, but breaking up is pretty much stuck in the past. Don’t even think about ending it online. Dear John letters have always been disastrous, so the modern equivalent via e-mail is completely unacceptable and flagged as one of the worst ways to break up with a woman. Yes, advances in online chatting and instant messaging now allow you to see and hear, but it still ain't live. Phone call breakups have never been easy, so be a man: Do it in person. And if all this doesn’t tell you that text messaging is an absolute no-no, you’re probably too far gone to be helped anyway.

No.3 - Publicly
Though from the outset, it may seem like a good idea to break the news in a public place, it’s like a no-man’s land, and that’s just the problem. With public breakups there’s no telling what might happen. In this situation, the event is simply not contained. If she gets upset, then you're responsible for making her cry in public. If she’s angry, you look bad as well. Public humiliation is never desirable (for you or her), so close the door to this possibility and stick to locations that offer you and your soon-to-be ex a level of privacy.

All things booty, I mean beauty and fashion ...

Coach along w/ many other brands are lending more attention to product packaging of cosmetics in an effort to lure you and me to make purchases particularly in such hard times. Who cares much about the Coach Deluxe Lipstick itself, I just the love the idea of whipping this out of my cosmetics bag and all eyes being on me and those signature Coach stripes. Available for purchase online and in Coach stores.

All things beauty was the topic of discussion on yesterday's Bag Ladies as we were joined by MUA, owner of Stephanie M. Make-up and The Pampering Junkies, Stephanie McKenzie-Davis. If you tuned in then you no doubt know that Stephanie is offering Bag Ladies listeners a discount on make-up services. Stephanie can be reached via email at stephaniemmakeupartistry@verizon.net. And check out what you missed right here or OnDemand at http://www.bagladiesradio.com/.

Not only did Bag Ladies and Stephanie discuss application techniques but we of course couldn't end the conversation w/out talking about some of the hottest colors, trends and styles for the season such as Shisheido's Perfect Rouge which offers lipsticks and pencils in bright neon shades. These same lipsticks and pencils contain light-detection powder which supposedly adjust to lighting conditions so colors will seem darker in dim conditions and sheerer in lighter conditions. This very collection is the debut of new Artistic Director, Dick Paige and these same looks/colors were seen all over the runways of Michael Kors and Narciso Rodriguez for spring '09. We look forward to working w/ Shiseido to bring you a first-hand Bag Ladies product review.

Nars is bringing you one of the hottest shades of the season although don't know how practical and wearable it is, Grenadines Matte Garnet which basically translates to red. I have been a fan of Nars for years and consider my Nars Sweet Charity Lip Lacquer gloss a must-have but I wouldn't even know how to begin to pair a red eyeshadow. Perhaps Bag Ladies will have to issue a challenge and see of our listeners, who might be able to pair it the best. Hmmmm, stay tuned.

And one of the more exciting collabo's that Bag Ladies has covered, is the the relationship between OPI and Paige Premium Denim to bring you six hot, bright shades for the season. These same shades coordinate to a tee w/ six new shorts and cropped jean styles by Paige Premium Denim to include 5-pocket classic and slim-legged styles. I am looking at the six OPI colors as I type this and the colors are bold, bright and I can't wait to hand off a shade to my manicurist to apply to my fingers and toes. Now all I need is a pair of Paige Premium jeans to match!

In addition to Bag Ladies Radio being newsworthy of course, there was the annaual Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Gala which took place in New York last night. Marc Jacobs was the man along w/ hosts Justin Timberlake and Kate Moss. All the top celebs were out to celebrate the opening of the "Model is Muse: Embodying Fashion" exhibit and the event features some of our faves and not so faves but it's all in the name of fashion right?

Bag Ladies best picks:

Jessica Alba in Jason Wu makes Bag Ladies say oooh, Liya kebede in Derek Lam and we say yes Mam! Molly Sims in Dolce & Gabbana, Heidi Klum in J. Mendel pulls it off even preggers ...

Kerry Washington in this difficult to pull off Louis Vuitton but she made it work, Rihanna in Dolce & Gabbana whom we love simply for the risk taken, Andre Leon Talley who can do no wrong in a Isabel Toledo caftan, Victoria Beckham in Marc Jacobs ...

Alek Wek in Emanuel Ungaro w/ that gorgeous face and stunning makeup! We don't know who but we love that multicolored dress ...
