Catch-up from The Style Page

Cold Cream 'n' Roses1 Comment

I have had a busy time since Christmas. We visited my folks for Christmas, and then we went to India to visit with my in-laws. I shopped while in India, and stocked up on kurtas and bedding and pillow covers. Our departure was delayed by three days because my husband got sick the day we were supposed to leave. Once we got back home, I had less than 24 hours to get ready for my departure for school. Since that time, I’ve rescoped my research paper.

I’ve collected a lot of new cosmetics links since I last updated the popular Cosmetics page on The Style Page web site. You can guess that I haven’t had much time to update the page, so I’ve added a badge on the Cosmetics page to show the new links.

Here’s some news from my friends:

  • Jackie Cawthra informed me that the Belen Echandia web site has been re-designed. She’s really pleased with the new design. In addition, she’s studying psychology, and remarks, “It is great to have some intellectual work as well as the creative and business things I do.”

I received an Email from Belen Echandia about their current Golden Ticket promotion:

Belen Echandia’s Bag of the Season – will it be you?

Every season Belen Echandia selects a Bag of the Season and sends one lucky girl a Golden Ticket email. The Golden Ticket entitles its recipient to the Bag of the Season in her choice of colour. The Bag of the Season for AW 2006 is this unique cowhide metallic purse with removable chain strap. It is perfect for day and night, fits in all your essentials and looks fantastic, too.

This season’s Golden Ticket will be sent on 1 November 2006. The recipient can choose her favourite colour from cowhide from white/silver, white/gold and chocolate/gold.

To sign up, visit Belen Echandia’s Invitation page and enter your Email address.

To see last season’s Golden Ticket, please visit Belen Echandia’s Golden Ticket.

Belen Echandia’s bag of the season – “Stroke Me”

Belen Echandia wrote to tell me about their Golden Ticket promotion:

Twice per year, someone on our mailing list will receive an email containing a Golden Ticket. This ticket will entitle its holder to receive the bag of the season (this year it is the ‘Stroke Me’ bag …) made especially to order, in the colour of her choice. The only thing we ask in return is that the recipient will send us a picture of herself using the bag and a little story about her for us to put up on our website, Polaroid-style.

To sign up, visit Belen Echandia’s website at www.belenechandia.com (Belen Echandia is also listed on our Bags page) and select the Golden Ticket button on the left hand navigation bar. The deadline for this season is March 31, 2006.

In 2001, Jackie Cawthra returned to London after a year in Spain, where she discovered stylish handbags in fine leathers and a variety of colors. Although Jackie was trained as a lawyer and had no prior design experience, she debuted her first handbag collection in 2003 and reimagined the handbags that she loved in Spain. To reflect that Spanish influence, she named her line Belen Echandia, after a Spanish girl’s name. (“Belen” means “Bethlehem” in Spanish.)

Belen Echandia handbags feature traditional styles and offer the customers fine soft leathers in a choice of colors and textures. Each handbag comes with a signature fuschia lining, stamped zipper pulls, and oodles of compartments and pockets to stash your stuff.

At a time when luxury products are being outsourced to the Far East, notably to China, Jackie has her handbags crafted by a family-owned business in Spain. To see Belen Echandia handbags in other styles and colors, visit their website or browse the Bags and Luggage page on The Style Page for “Belen Echandia.” Belen Echandia handbags are also available from Bag Borrow or Steal.

Between welcoming the in-laws from overseas and preparing to spend Christmas with my parents in St. Louis, I somehow found time to update the Fashion pages on The Style Page.
