September 2009   Bonjour, Bella! It’s already September! How time flies. We think that there are mostly two categories of emotions us bellas feel: panic and anticipation. Panic because, well, we’re nearing the end of the year. But anticipation because it IS almost the end of the year, which means plenty of merry-making and celebrating and starting anew!   But before you rush into that, take stock and take a long, deep breath. September is the perfect time to use some of your leaves from work, since things do start to get crazy in October. To help you with your packing, our Day Off this month features bags you should tote for whatever getaway you’ve planned—be it the beach, an exotic locale, a backpacking trip, or a shopping destination. And most of you will probably be itching to get a haircut or a new ’do, so this month’s Makeup Room gives suggestions on the perfect style given your face shape.    To help be even more prepared for the rounds of partying and socializing when October rolls around, this month’s Runway Report decodes various dress codes and contains tips on what to wear. Finally, for those who are thinking of making a career switch, or taking on a new job, our Casting Call offers some hints on what to consider before saying “I do.” Don't forget to use all of your coupons for BDJ's Coupon Completion Promo!
