2007 I am not usually a big fan of Louis Vuitton footwear as they can be a little too much. However, their Spring / Summer 2007 shoe collection is rocking! Go get yourself a pair of this "Santa Barbara" Louis Vuitton shoe via eLUXURY at $575.00.These bad boys will definitely grab attention. The engraved heel is a nicer touch than the often used monogram. Read more:Louis

, playing dress up for my 1986 Barbie, a part of me wants to be her. She is after all a woman who is admired the world over for her many talents and occupations (nurse, doctor, ballerina) as well as for her envious 36-24-36 figure.M.A.C. introduced its new limited-edition Barbie-inspired cosmetic line to the world last week! Now you too can look like an adult Barbie.The hot collection looks fun, very pink, but very fun. Face...eyes...lips...nails. The sugary pink makeup will look great with this spring's predicted hot color - yellow. The limited-edition collection wouldn't be complete without a collector's edition Barbie wearing black knee-high boots, jeans, a shirt with a jacket and with her very own MAC cosmetic case. She's $35.00, available at MAC stores.There is a little promotional video which is a fun walk through memory lane with Barbie. Go to MAC to have a look at the video and to check out the prices.

staring at your chest-area because they thought that they saw your nipple peeping through your bra? I am! I really hate it. It really is one of my pet-peeves. The reason that your nipple looks like it's trying to break free is because of the washing machine. After a few washes, even your priced padded bra will give you the 'nipple' look.I am so annoyed by this that I have resorted to hand-washing all of my bras...but I have found us a miracle, ladies! This spiffy little thing is duly named the Bra Saver! The cylinder washer bag prevents crushing of padded and underwire bras. No more hand washes...no more lewd looks...YAY!Get the Bra Saver at Bare Necessities $8.00.

These are definately the most expensive and most adorable coin purses ever.Would you dine on only bread for a few months just to get your hands on one of these?

Linda Ly really knows her bags! After a day of retail therapy, Linda decided to create a line of stylish and substantial bags.A collection named begeren, a Dutch word for desire was born.

This Metallic Cannage Shoulder Bag is one huge attention grabber. It is fashioned in quilted lambskin in metallic and has a cannage pattern embroidery. The bag is also accented in silver metal hardware. I just love the way the flat leather double shoulder straps are woven through over sized grommets at the top. I am really loving the space of the bag and the interior pockets as I have the tendency to store more than what I actually need in my bags. I like the way the bag opens. It makes it is easier to search for your things.With a price of $1,795.00, you'll have to starve for months before being able to stroll around town with one. But the bright side is that you will look absolutely great carrying it. Read more:Finally

Vuitton bag from the real deal? Take home the genuine bag every time with this guide to spotting the replica bags.Ever heard the saying, "Imitation is a form of flattery"? Well, most designers would disagree. Especially when it comes to imitating premium purses and bags. Most people can't really tell a good fake from the real thing.So, how can you tell the difference? The experts say that it's all in the small details that are often overlooked by manufacturers of designer knock-offs. All you need to do is take the time to pick apart the fakes and to do your research to reveal their flaws.Here are just a few tips : Watch for lining that is glued on instead of stitched in. The same goes for labels.Some manufacturers of knockoff bags do take the time to stitch the lining into place. Then, look for threading that is pulling or loose in spots. A real designer bag would have near-perfect threading.The material used can also be a dead giveaway. If
