The Purse Paparazzi Alpha Custom Magazine Clutch – Review

The Purse Paparazzi provides a variety of handbag styles to fit all areas of your life. Whether you’re searching for a clutch or tote, this brand gives high quality purses for a reasonable price. The company’s headquarters is in Baltimore, Maryland but customers outside of the area can shop online.

Alpha Custom Magazine Clutch Review:

I received the Alpha Custom Magazine Clutch from the company. I was excited to open the package because I am a proud member of my sorority. Most importantly, how many times are we (sorority girls) wanting to represent our organization by wearing the perfect accessory? This clutch can achieve all of that and more.

Number one, this is a large clutch in terms of length, height, and width. That means it’s perfect to hold your cellphone, sunglasses, lipstick, and wallet. Number two, the Alpha Clutch is made with a very durable material. There’s no way for this handbag to loose its form because there’s a white magnetic snap closure and silver – tone hardware. Number three, the design on the clutch truly embodies my sorority from the authentic colors and wording. The inside of the purse has a satin lining; and there’s a detachable shoulder strap.

I would encourage wearing the Custom Magazine Clutch for chapter activities or a “sisters” night out. This handbag can be paired with jeans, a blazer, jumpsuit, or daytime dress. The possibilities for wearing this purse are endless because of its unique quality and style.

Most importantly, visit the website to purchase your own Custom Magazine Clutch and don’t forget to wear your pearls!

Taylor Schilling – EMMYS with John Frieda Hair Care

THE LOOK: Modern elegance.

INSPIRATION: John Frieda International Creative Consultant Harry Josh gave Taylor Schilling an elegant, voluminous look for tonight’s EMMYS, “Taylor’s dress has a bohemian Grecian vibe and strong color so we thought it would be cool to take something classic and make it more modern – the volume on the sides gives a contemporary pyramid shape and the relaxed waves evoke glamour,” he says.

Here is his step-by-step breakdown:

To begin, Harry applied John Frieda Luxurious Volume Volume Building Mousse on towel dried hair for maximum volume and width.
Then, Harry loosely blow dried sections of her hair with a round brush.
After blow drying, he used the Harry Josh Pro Tools 2-in-1 Ceramic Marcel Curling Iron to create waves – making sure to wrap the hair around the iron in the same direction.
Once the curls set, he finished off the look with John Frieda Luxurious Volume All-Day Hold Hairspray to give the hair some shine and to keep it from falling flat.
