Jessica Simpson's addiction to Louis Vuitton 1970-01-01 00:59:59 There is probably no other celebrity that is as crazy about Louis
Vuitton as JessicaSimpson
is. She has everything from small purses to large travel-size bags and luggage. She also seems to really love her Monogram Speedy, which she has had for quite a while but is still seen carrying it rather often. So here is a compilation of pictures of Jessica and some of her Louis Vuitton
bags.(Manhattan GM)(Stephen)(also Stephen)(the pet carrier and speedy)(Cerises Speedy)(ordinary Speedy and possibly Cabas Mezzo, not sure) Read more:addiction

What's Inside Your Bag? 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Handbags are definitely a way to make a fashion statement. It's also a way to make your outfit look fantastic. But then... if to really think about it - handbags are just a practicality. It's something to carry your things around in. The interesting thing, though, is that we never (or almost never) see what people are carrying in their bags. Unless you have x-ray vision or something. That is why I thought that this "Inside My Bag" blog is just simply great. You can see lots of pictures of what's inside basically random people's handbags. It's also a great way to see how much you can fit in this or that bag. So, feel free to check it out. I think the blog's author is doing a great job!
Lanvin - Ballet flats and boots 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Lanvin ballet flats and boots seem to be quite popular these days. Even though the flats were last years collection they are still the most sought out item. And why wouldn't they be? They are comfortable, they are colorful, they are absolutely gorgeous! The boots are also pretty great, I just love the simple but stylish look. And since they are flat - they are also very comfortable!Look for Lanvins atBarney'sSatinboutiqueMyTheresaMatchesfashionYoox Read more:Lanvin

Louis Vuitton - Pomme d'Amour 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Louis Vuitton has released a new color of the Vernis leather. It's called Pomme d'Amour
, which can be translated as the "love apple". The color is a gorgeous red with a hint of pink. Read more:Louis

Furla Handbags 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Recently I discovered Furla handbags. Oh my, they are b-e-a-utiful! They look very luxurious (to me, anyways) but don't have the price tags of the high-end designer handbags. For example, this gorgeous Greta in Nuvola Croco is just $266 (on sale), but it looks almost as good as any Birkin bag. Okay, I might be over exaggerating but you get the point, don't you? So, for those of you who want the feel of the high-end designer bag, but can't afford to spend $1000 on a purse, Furla handbags might just be a way out!If you are in the US, you can buy Furla online at www.furlausa.com.

Price increase 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Luxury designer handbags already do have pretty high prices, but it somehow that is not enough. The rumor is going around that Louis Vuitton and Chanel are increasing prices on some of their products starting February 1st. Which is, of course, tomorrow. I don't know the exact numbers, but from what I've hear LV can increase prices by up to 15% and Chanel by 25%. Oh well, another thing we bag-maniacs just have to deal with.
Coach handbags 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Coach handbags seem to be very popular these days. Everyone from kids to adults are carrying them these days. Teenagers are saving up lunch money to be able to get a Coach purse!These bags come in many different styles and colors. The prices vary a great deal also, which is good, because not everyone wants to splurge a large sum of money on a handbag.The hottest Coach bag this season seems to be the Carly (pictured above). Of course, it also comes in a variety of colors and materials. Black, brown, leather, canvas - choose what suits you most. The style is very classic, simple and elegant. AND it has all the Coach signature features.Coach doesn't just make handbags. They make shoes and other accessories such as charms. Aren't these ballet flats adorable? Read more:Coach
Chanel Coco Cabas 1970-01-01 00:59:59 One of the "It" bags this year seems to be Chanel
's Coco Cabas. The bag comes in different sizes, colors and materials. All of it's sizes are quite large, so even if you ask for a Baby Cabas, which is a small Cabas, you will still get a big handbag.
Handbags: The Power of the Purse 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Handbags: The Power of the Purse by Anna Johnsson is a must have for the designer bag collectors. In the book you can find gorgeous seducing pictures of handbags plus some interesting facts about how they are made, when and why. Highly recommend! Read more:Handbags
A must have for the spring/summer... 1970-01-01 00:59:59 ... are Christian Louboutin wedges! The rainbow-like colors just scream "summer". And they are comfortable, too!
Lanvin flats replica? 2007-03-07 23:34:00 No, I don't mean the illegal terrorist-supporting and child labor using replicas. I just mean a really well inspired Lanvin
look-alikes from... Gap! They are being sold for $30-$40 and I have to admit that it is pretty cheap comaring to the actual Lanvin flats. Yes, they quality may not be as great, but hey, you might get tired of them sooner than they start to break and rip. And the beauty of it is that you won't feel guilty throwing the old ones out and getting yourself a new pair. Maybe even in some new funky color! They are rather pleasent to wear and the leather is pretty soft, too. Definitelly a great replacement for those who don't wanna splurge on the real deal.If Gap isn't really cool enough for you, try out the NINE WEST flats. These are also very comfortable and isn't the ostrich-like pattern looking cute? Those are sold for the dubble of what the Gap flats cost, but that is still so much less than the Lanvins. I really think that is a great and a very much cheaper way
LA and Vegas shopping for Balenciaga 2007-03-07 23:17:00 If you are in the Los Angeles area (be it Hollywood or Beverly Hills) or Las Vegas
and are eager to buy a new Balenciaga
- this is for you.So, where can you find it?The usual stores that carry Balenciaga bags in the United States are Neiman Marcus, Barney's New York and Saks Fifth Avenue. But not all of them carry the purses. However, here is some info on which stores do.If you are in Vegas: Neiman Marcus at the Fashion Show Mall has a rather good collection of "Bbags".If you are in LA: Don't bother going in Neiman Marcus or Saks by the Rodeo Drive (Wilshire boulevard). Go straight to Barney's. That's where you'll find you dream purse. And while you are in the area, swing by the gorgeous LV boutique just around the block. LV handbags are such an eye-candy. Always and forever.
The Beauty of Gucci Handbags 2007-03-14 12:42:00 by: Angle TingenWhile there are of course many unique and stylish handbags and purses on the market, for many buyers Gucci
handbags remain the gold standard, and the standard by which all other handbags are judged. Indeed, in survey after survey shoppers have picked Gucci as the bag they would most like to carry, and for many of us being able to afford one of these fine handbags is a sign that we have truly arrived.The very popularity and quality of Gucci handbags has of course meant that there are a number of knockoffs and fake Gucci products that have sprung up to take advantage of unwary buyers. While these fakes can be very authentic looking to the casual observer, what they lack is the truly exceptional style and quality that has given Gucci its well deserved reputation.When shopping for genuine Gucci handbags it is important to remember that genuine Gucci handbags, be they hobo bags, clutches, purses, shoulder bags or other styles, will typically sell for several hundred dollars.

High-Waist Jeans - yay or nay? 2007-03-15 10:57:00 Over the past year a few celebrities have been spotted wearing hight-waist jeans and many people are wondering if this trend is here to stay. Right now when skinny and low-waist jeans are still very much in it is very hard to imagine liking the high-waist, but who knows, fashion is funny that way - you might first hate it but then you fall in love with it.Here are the pictures of the celebrities wearing the high-waist jeans.Sienna Miller:Geri Halliwell:Kate Moss: Read more:Waist

Louis Vuitton Kirsten 2007-03-31 10:39:00 The new Louis
Vuitton Dentelle collection includes a beautiful small bag named Kirsten
. This purse pays homage to the adorable actress Kirsten Dunst. Just as soon as the bag appeared in stores it was quickly sold out. So if you are thinking of getting one, you should keep a close look on your local Louis Vuitton
boutique and if possible put yourself on the waiting list.
Damier Azur 2007-04-22 12:29:00 Louis Vuitton has recently updated their collection with a new line of Damier Azur items. The classical speedy that now comes in a gorgeous summer version is really hard to resist. It is just so summery-gorgeous. But then again I was so surprised looking through the collection to find this gorgeous and even more summery badminton set. Wow, this is just a little odd, but so absolutely fabulous. Me like!
Leggings - in or out? 2007-10-20 03:18:00 Leggings have been popular among fashionistas for quite a while now. We love them, celebrities love them.. so what's next?With winter comming up I think that leggings will definitelly stay "in" for a few more months. Although many people will be now choosing leggings with feet, which really isn't anything new - it's the good old tights! For me it's just strange to say "leggings with feet" when it's really tights we're talking about. So, if the winter calls for tights then when comes spring - will leggings still be in? Aren't we all a little too tired of them? I know I am, though I am still a big fan of leggings. I was one of the first ones to start wearing them. In my area anyways.. So, leggings - in or out? I guess we'll just have to wait and see... Read more:Leggings
Louis Vuitton Neverfull 2007-10-21 03:13:00 Recently Louis
Vuitton added a new bag to their monogram collection, and that's Neverfull. It comes in three different sizes and is very flexible, because the size of the bag can be adjusted using special straps. In Octobers issue of the Oprah magazine where they tested a number of different bags, the Neverfull was listed as one of the bags that are good for your back! Which I suppose is understandable since it is so light-weight and has very convenient handles.The price of the Neverfull is also pretty good. My guess is that Louis Vuitton
was aiming at creating a bag that would be at the "entry level" as is the Speedy. It's a good looking bag, it comes in three sizes, it has the traditional monogram canvas - that is pretty much what Louis Vuitton newbees look for! So, if you are new to Louis Vuitton and desperatelly want a bag of theirs - this is a good opportunity! However, the Neverfull is selling so great, that one can't help to wonder if LV will increase the price. I suggest you
Shoe of the day 2007-11-09 16:05:00 Sometimes I regret looking at shoes.. I wish I never saw this. Just makes me drool...But for those of you who can easily splurge on a pair of Jimmy Choos and lead the life style where you can show off a pair like this one - I strongly advise you to get these peep toe shoes in exotic elaphe snake! Mmmm, gorgeous!!!LYNNEELAPHE SNAKE AND PATENT PEEP TOE SHOE, (€495, jimmychoo.com): Read more:Shoe
Christian Louboutin pumps 2007-11-08 12:53:00 There is nothing more gorgeous than a pair of black pumps
from Christian
Louboutin. M-mmmm! Gorgeous!The red sole seems to be driving most women completely crazy. I don't think that without this whole Sex and the City mania women would have been as crazy about shoes as they are right now. Well, I guess it doesn't really matter any more. The shoes are here and they are here to stay! And while we are at it we can observe some of the celebrities really enjoying their Louboutins.Angelina JolieChristina AguileraNicole RichieMary-Kate and Ashley Olsen Read more:Christian Louboutin
Chanel Coco Cabas 2007-11-07 16:10:00 Chanel Coco Cabas was the IT bag of spring-summer 2007. And is still going pretty strong. As per usual, we have seen celebrities sporting them, one of them being Kate Moss.The bag comes in different sizes and colours and seems to fit quite a lot. Even the "baby" Cabas is a quite large bag. So is it still one of the "it" bags. Or has it lost it's charm?I myself am not so fond of it. Yes, it is a good-looking bag, but I just don't get the "wow" feeling. You know?So, once again I am continuing my search for the "it" bag of the "it" bags;)Kate Moss: Read more:Chanel

Where are our fashion icons? 2007-11-27 15:21:00 I don't understand what is happening to this world. Wherever I look, whether its the printed press or the Internet I see trashy-looking Britney or Amy Winehouse. Some time ago they were showing at least some more of those young celebrities, like Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie or Sienna Miller. Now it's only these two. Each day looking trashier than the day before. Where are we supposed to get our inspiration and fashion sense? Yes, of course, we have Vogue and Cosmopolitan and all the others. But I used to love staring at the less classy magazines with the overflow of pictures of the extremely skinny Nicole Richie. Yes, she looked horrible, but her clothes.. oh, her outfits where just sooo perfect. And whenever they weren't showing Paris dirty dancing at some club, they published pictures of her in very well put together outfits. So, when is this - as Perezhilton.com calls them - Unfitney and Wino era going to end?
Britney Spears vs. Louis Vuitton 2007-11-26 13:06:00 Britney was sued by Louis
Vuitton and apparently she lost the lawsuit! Britney herself, however, wasn't found guilty, while Sony BMG and MTV online were.Read the full story here. I feel sorry for her, it seems that nothing is going right in her life right now. Hope someone will help her get out of this mess she created. Read more:Britney

2007-11-26 05:54:00 I don't know why, but I just don't like the already-not-so-new Chloé Paddingtons with the chain. They are simply not pretty. If I were to buy a Chloé bag right now, I would choose either the classical Paddington or a Bay tote. But maybe it's just me. I think that a Paddy is still one of the "it" bags even though it's been on the market for so long. Picture taken from www.netaporter.com. You can buy this bag there for €1 342..
The (Style) Bible 2007-11-18 15:47:00 Ever wondered how celebrities always (okay, not always, but often) look so put-together? Perfect outfits, perfect hair, perfect nails.. Everything matches. Well, most of them have personal stylists. We - ordinary folks - don't. But don't worry, because there is a book that can help you learn all you need to learn about style!I am talking about "The Pocket Stylist" by Kendall Farr. Believe me - if you want to learn about style and fashion and how to put together the perfect wardrobe - this is the only book you will have to read. Yes, it's THAT good! Kendall Farr is a former fashion editor and she has worked with many big fashion magazines.So, all you fashion savvy girls, get out there and get a copy of this book if you haven't done that already.
