How to Determine Your Face Shape

Whether you're deciding on a new hairstyle or buying a hat, knowing what shape your face is can help choose you the most flattering style. There are four basic face shapes: oval, round, heart, and square, plus a few sub-shapes such as triangle (or 'pear'), diamond, and rectangle (or 'oblong'). The first step to determining which you are is to get out a tape measure and write down some numbers.

First, measure across the top of your cheekbones.
Then measure across your jawbone, from widest point to widest point.
Third, measure across your forehead at the widest point (somewhere between your eyes and hairline)
Measure from the top of your face (at the hairline) to the tip of your chin.

Filed under: Cosmetics and Fragrance

I love pretty keepsake boxes and have quite a collection so this Luxe Keepsake Box from luxury skincare company La Mer certainly caught my eye. Designed by British royal furniture designer David Linley, and crafted from sycamore with a distinct green exterior finish, the 15 limited edition boxes come with a 60ml jar of Creme de la Mer and a silver spatula nestled inside -- along with a custom lock and key meant to balance tradition with modern design. Each box is numbered and costs RM3,800 (approx $1,050).

Woven Face Tote, Handbag of the Day

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

Here's a designer tote that definitely falls into the 'bold and bright' category! Featuring a cheerful face woven in bright colors on vibrant purple wool, the Woven Face Tote (they didn't exactly get creative with the name there, did they?) from Sonia by Sonia Rykiel has a zipper closure on the top (gotta love that nothing will come tumbling out unexpectedly), a luxe quilted lining, and padded handles. The 'woven face' is what I would describe as a mix of wimsical and primitive, with details like dark eyelashes and bright heart-shaped cheeks making the real statement. $320
