That is why it is important to look at yourself before you buy a handbag. See what kind of clothes you usually wear. If you like to dress down, it is usually better for a simple neutral coloured baguette with a professional, smart style. You can even make it more artistic by adding a few buttons in some pretty colors, which don’t add any noise to your couture.

If you like to up your Bling factor, then get a nice leather Hobo that suits your personality. You can sport bucket bags in bright colors and customize it with badges and lace for daytime use and pastel or sequinned clutches for evening wear.

Lastly, always wear clothes and bags that suit your body type. D&G Handbags tend to accentuate the part where they end; hence the shoulder strap is very important. Have a heavy bust; carry your clutch in your hands, not under your arms. Women with a full curvy figure must boost their waistline, with thin strapped buckled hobos and totes. If you are tall and proportionate, try adding to that with handheld, small-strapped, thin, hard handbags. You should wear something that suits you, instead of adapting yourself to suit your handbag.

Colored veils: This year, colored veils are popping up everywhere. White and ivory are the traditional choices, but dare to be a little different by choosing a light pink, nude, light blue or any other pastel wedding veil. If you really want to be unique, go with bold colors, such as red, black, and even orange (very popular for Fall weddings). Colored veils are available in all standard lengths and tiers, along with the ever-popular bird cage veil.

Headband veils: Many brides, especially vintage and bohemian brides, are opting for a very non-traditional veil. This is a trend that is just taking hold of the bridal world. A headband veil is one piece of material, wrapped around the forehead or top of the head, tied under the neck, and allowed to flow freely at the bottom. It is such a unique look, plus it doubles as your bridal headpiece!

Gold and silver veils: This look is perfect for the bride that likes bling, glam, or just likes to shine! Gold tinted veils are great for the old-Hollywood look. Silver veils would look great on the uber contemporary, cutting edge bride. As with the colored veils, these veils are also available in standard lengths and tiers, as well as bird cage veils. Be careful if you choose this look—gold and silver veils are heavier than a regular veil—make sure you can deal with that.

Bridal hat veils: Funky bridal hats are all over the runways. Many have connected veils. This is a very daring look for any bride. You can find smaller side hats, or even top hats. It is recommended if you go this route to keep the colors traditional. Also, make sure your hat veil works with your hairstyle. No bride wants hat head on the big day!

Peacock-style veil: These veils are also starting to make a comeback. Think of the 1980s with the huge fanned out veils… large and in charge! This is also a chic choice for the modern bride who is looking to bring the retro look back to life!

Midler is planning to auction off these collectibles as well as stage sets, art work, jewelry and other personal items, such as the Valentino special occasion dress she wore to the Academy Awards in 1992, the year she received a Best Actress nomination for her performance in For the Boys. Midler admits the dress holds a special place in her fashion heart, calling it one of the most beautiful dresses she has ever owned.

“I was so happy to be going to the Academy Awards for a picture that my production company produced. I didn’t win, but I felt so wonderful in this dress. Mr. Valentino has been a friend for many years, and every time I see him I thank him again,” she said of the dress.

The sale is being organized by Julien’s Auction in Beverly Hills and is scheduled to take place November 12. Proceeds will be donated to the New York Restoration Project, a non-profit charity Midler founded in 1995. The organization is dedicated to maintaining parks and community gardens throughout New York City.

Amouage Lyric for Men is a masculine tropical scent. It reminds me of 1930′s-1940′s Cuba. I haven’t been to 1930′s Cuba (obviously) but this fragrance reminds me of the travel pictures from that time and place. Lyric Man is a spicy, tropical rose. It would go well with cigars.

Lyric Man opens with bergamot, lime, lime blossom, orange blossom, and a gingery floral. It reminds me of old school tropical men’s colognes but thicker and with more body. The top to Lyric for Men is on the balcony wearing a white guayabera, smoking a cigar, dosed in an orange blossom eau de cologne. There’s a cool ocean breeze mixing the smoke and green, bitter florals, swirling it all together in an abstract cloud. Within 15-30 minutes, I do pick up on the rose. The entire existence of Lyric for Men is that it is supposed to be a masculine rose. Hmm…I guess it is but in my opinion this is a mid-spectrum rose. A balance of masculine and feminine, completely unisex. Anyways, the rose is there, a musky rose. It smells like it is mixed with camphoric wood shavings. It does remind me of wet, dewy roses growing up the side of a cedar trellis…in a Caribbean environment. I still get this breezy saltiness and citrus that keeps Lyric Man from being sweaty and dirty. Like all of Amouage, Lyric is high-quality. It wears and wears. Eventually after half a day of wear, get soft creamy vanilla, saffron covered woods. It’s really nice.
