Some people work to cure cancer, others are fighting the war on poverty. Me? My selfless act is to help people spend money on stuff they need, like clothes and bags and makeup and, of course, killer shoes. But, that's not all. I like to eat. And complain (most specifically about how hard it is to be a mom). Oh, and obsess over the next perfect pair of shoes.

Obsession: A Lipstick Case Keychain
An obsession is a funny thing.
A lot like love, you just can't control it. You want what you want. My friend is currently lusting after an Yves Saint Laurent postcard wallet. My holy grail: a lipstick case keychain. Yup, totally weird.
Now, I've had hundreds of these cases over the years and usually ended up giving them away. Why do I need a special case for my lipstick? I always thought. Then, I spotted this See by Chloe version with an attached keychain. Because I have not (yet) completely lost my mind, I did not buy the $56 keychain, which proceeded to sell out.
Yet, something about the idea of the two linked together fundamentally changed my opinion of the lipstick case. Of course, now I can't find even one around the house that I could trick out with a keychain. And truth be told, I probably wouldn't even attempt it. How could it look as good?
So the hunt begins.
I squandered a fair amount of time trying to come up with a cheaper substitute. I found stuff like this one. Yeah, it's what you think. Yeah, it's pretty strange.

Lil Chubby Pee Pee! I am LOL! That's the oddest little thing. I rather like the patent one you pictured. I have no idea why you are obsessing over a lipstick case. Just like you have no idea why I'm obsessing over a post card wallet. And will not rest until it is mine . . .
Say NO to the Chubby Pee Pee! LOL
