CHANEL HANDBAG

I feel cool just looking at this bag. It has a vagabond look but incredibly chic at the same time. It's very Sienna Miller, no offense intended in comparing her to a hobo but she cleans up well. That removable pocket is insane, such a good idea! I always wish I can just grab my essentials and run out of the car for a quick errand but I end up kind of juggling everything and then feeling dumb for not just taking the whole bag. I love the contrasting suede of the pocket, it adds another layer of dimension and texture. It is called a frame bag but it technically isn't, it is a doctor's bag with the metal trim around the opening's edge to make it look like a frame, which makes it easier to open so I'm fine with that. This bag will become a part of you as you get comfortable with it and throw it around - it'll look even better all beat up! At Saks Fifth Avenue for $1985.designer replica

Help me out here, am I just dazed and confused or is this Chloe messenger bag a total and complete knock off of the Nina Ricci saddle bag?!  I actually thought it was a Nina Ricci at first but the bow is a bit different which made me look closer and that's when I discovered that Chloe is now resorting to copying B list bags (I mean no one cares about Nina Ricci bags so if you're going to knock someone off, wouldn't you at least choose someone like Proenza?!  Just my two cents).  And yes, I rate my bags the way people rate Hollywood actresses: my A listers include Bottega and Balenciaga but because of this infringement, Chloe might as well be a D-list has been or a reality star. Louis Vuitton bags

I'm swooning over the See by Chloe Marti Large Cross-Body Bag($595) that Ashley Simpson is sporting in the photo above. I don't typically opt for this kind of cross-body/satchel style because I'm perpetually worried about pickpockets (I live in NYC after-all and I'm still getting over being robbed at my gym a few months ago!), but the Large Marti is hard to resist at $595. The zip detail and rounded shape give it a chic 70s flare without being obnoxiously boho and it's fully lined. Luckily for those like me it also has an interior zip pocket, so at the very least you can stash your credit cards away safely:) replica handbags

 

We'd like to take a moment and introduce you to our newest advertiser, Couture Lab. It is the brainchild of one of the original founders of Net-a-Porter, Carmen Busquets. Couture Lab offers one of a kind, offbeat items that transcends time and trend. The site is not intended to please the masses, but rather, for the few who crave items that will tantalize and thrill. Like the Bea Valdes clutches made especially for Couture Lab. I am obsessed with the Marharlika evening bag. If it were any bigger, it would be garish but in a tiny size-- it's a glittering jewel of a bag. The beaded details are lavish but appropriate for an evening bag and the little tiny feathers add whimsy and fantasy. I am not one to love such embellished bags but these are so uniquely ornate that I couldn't help but admire the imagination and creativity it took to create.designer pruse

When I created a category for "Feather", Tina asked "Why do we need that?".  So that I can rip on bags like this, that's why!  If she had asked, "Why do bags need feathers?" then the answer would be, they don't.  This looks like something you wear to a Mad Hatter party but on your head.  At least this is appropriately named the Cancan, as if it is supposed to be part of a costume or something.  Can you imagine dealing with those sprigs of feather bobbing around all night and what about trying to get in and out of there?  Well, these concerns are moot because anyone who would use this is not going to be practical.  I guess, as a stand alone piece without function, it is quite interesting and kind of nice.  There is volume and movement that you normally don't get with a bag.  With a simple dress (and I do hope whoever uses this keeps everything else simple), this is a fantastic way to make a bold statement.  At Neiman Marcus for $1215.  Also comes in black with red trim, it is very bad, at least the purple make it more tolerable.replica handbags

It's not easy being a glamorous movie star these days.  Paparazzi chase you down your driveway and sell your photos to magazines who tear you apart for your weight, your clothes, and your choice of lovers.  It's enough to make a girl want to stay home and curl up with a book or movie but not this bold fashionista!  Lucy Liu has been one of my favorite actresses since her first growl as Ling on Ally McBeal and I always love her fashion choices.  Unconventional and chic, Lucy pulls off things with effortless style.  Like the exotic feather Joet below from Kotur ($598 at Neiman Marcus 1.888.888.4757) -- a unique little stunner that she carried to Obama's Black and White Ball held last Thursday.  We love Kotur and were not surprised that Lucy does, too.  She was seen wearing Kotur again last Saturday at a Trump International Hotel event where she used the sleek and long Miller (photo above).  I love that she paired such a severe and contemporary bag with a printed and silky soft pleated dress-- the contrast is what makes the outfit interesting and totally Lucy.  Miller bag $348 at Kotur.com (jump for more photos!)replica hermes bags

TGIF! I've had the longest and most confusing week trying to recuperate from my overseas trip.  There was a lot of cooking at my house (by me) to appease a sulking boy (not the 5 year old) for my absence.  I'm looking forward to a weekend of fun with friends (4 birthday parties!) and thought i should feature a fun clutch in case you're in the mood for something different.  This Blue Gioia Feather Clutch is like a piece of art, made of pearlized lamb suede-- it has a grille inspired by a traditional Japanese screen crafted from 18K gold-plated brass set over bright blue peacock feathers.  Fabulous?  With a capital F!  Has detachable chain, flap closure and is 8"× 4 ½".  Made by by Raven Kauffman for $1,395.00 (not bad for such a unique accessory!)  At Vivre.com Have a lovely weekend, everyone!fangpian handbag

Feather is in. Everything feather - jewelry, shoes, clothes and as Valentino always knew, bags. Instead of a big 'ole bag blooming with plumes, a smallish clutch makes more sense. Topped off with fine crystal detailing at the frame and clasp and a flawless satin lining, this is elegance at the most extreme. It's obviously very delicate so although I wouldn't use the chain shoulder strap all the time, I would definitely put it to play when around food and drinks. The strap conceals itself nicely inside when not in use. Not sure what feathers they're using but the detailing and craftsmanship must make up for most of the $2340 tag, available at Net-a-Porter.designer pruse

At the top of our list is our favorite rock and roll fashionista. And can we just say her hubby Gavin Rossdale is tres hot? We love Gwen and her whimsical style, although we were concerned when she expressed her artistic sensibility with pink corn rows and braces. But it looks like this holla back girl, oh wait, she ain't no holla back girl so that would make her an ain't no holla back girl so, anyway, whatever, her and her Harajuku girls are stepping out in style with hits on the charts and on the red carpet. replica gucci handbags
