Designer Boutique Private Sales Calendar & Access Codes Updated
The calendar for the current and upcoming private sale designer boutiques has been updated. The schedule includes a new site, Beauty Story. Beauty Story is brought to you by the same folks as Editors’ Closet and sells strictly cosmetic and beauty items. I love it, I was lost for a great cosmetics site since The Fairest changed their format to some horrible blog thing that rarely makes sense. As always, the links above and on the schedule include the codes you need for free access to these private sale sites. Enjoy!

New ‘Designer Stuff I Scored’ Cover Stories
I have finally decided on a format for my “Stuff I Scored” Cover Stories and am going to start adding new reviews on a regular basis. I have broken the Cover Stories up into separate categories, which currently include Cosmetics, Hair and Beauty, Designer Handbags, Designer Shoes and Boots, and Designer Sunglasses and Accessories. Watch for “Designer Jewelry and Watches” and “Designer Housewares and Home Fashions” to be added in the next few days. I have many, many, MANY reviews of fabulous items to add to these Cover Stories, so keep your eyes open for the latest and greatest!
Please note that I make it a point to write thorough, accurate and most importantly, honest reviews and will continue to do so (no matter what the source of the item I am reviewing), even when it pains me to give a bad critique. I’m such an addict of designer goodies that I actually buy the majority of what I review myself, thus I have little occasion to even be exposed to outside influences; however, I feel very strongly that if you can’t be trusted to give an honest review no matter what the source of the item you are reviewing , then you don’t possess the level of integrity required to do the job at all. I find, to a great level of personal angst, a general lack of integrity runs rampant on the internet and it’s important to me that my readers know I can be trusted under any circumstances. This recently became even more apparent to me when I was perusing a couple freelance writers’ sites. I was both shocked and disgusted by just how many thousands of companies actually hire people to write positive reviews for items the potential reviewers know absolutely nothing about! I found this discovery to be both rather sad and extremely disturbing. I hardly think of myself as being naive but apparently I am… it never even occurred to me that anyone would do this, either as a company or a writer. I use reviews a lot when making major purchases but now I don’t think I’ll ever trust a public review again, or at least not without a huge grain of salt. That is not how I want Style & Angst to be perceived. Ever.
Anyway, I’m going to get started on this big job I have ahead of me, and am off to review a pair of Rock & Republic shades. Be sure to check out the Cover Story Stuff I Scored: Designer Sunglasses and Accessories in a little while to see what I really think of them!

New IllusioniStix Make Their Debut at the LongLocks HairSticks Boutique!
The LongLocks HairSticks Boutique is 
debuting our new LongLocks IllusioniStix hair jewelry as the newest style to be added to the LongLocks HairSticks catalog!
LongLocks IllusioniStix designs are hand painted in contrasting colors with an ultra metallic pearl medium, resulting in a gorgeous cascade of glistening colors. The hair sticks are then finished with layers of clear enamel to preserve their beauty. If you’ve been a LongLocks fan for years and remember GossamerStix, these are very similar but with more intense colors, a smoother finish, and an uber metallic shine… sort of GossamerStix to the 10th power!
These original hand crafted hair sticks and the process by which they are created are a LongLocks HairSticks® exclusive and can be found nowhere else. Like virtually all LongLocks HairSticks hair jewelry designs, each pair of IllusioniStix hair accessories are recorded in the LongLocks archive, are one-of-a-kind, and are never exactly duplicated.
And here’s your heads up: LongLocks SynergiStix are being retired, so if you’d like a pair of your very own, now’s yer last chance! The remaining two SynergiStix designs have been posted in Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow!
