What if it’s Christian Louboutin?

Would you buy a trash bag worth $895? What if it’s Christian Louboutin? I can always appreciate designers trying to incorporate a little “green” element on their pieces but for that price tag, this might be a little too much.

The Christian Louboutin Lou Trash Bag looks like glorified, wearable trash. Designer Louboutin always had a unique take on fashion and seems to be very evident in this piece. The great thing about it is the Paris Fashion Week “trash” detailing on the bag’s flap is one of a kind, so each bag will have it’s very own trashy design.

There are some elements of lush styling – leopard haircalf strap, gold chain and leather edges but unfortunately, none of them helped the bag. What do you think, would you shell out big bucks for wearable designer trash?

Those who have a keen interest and love for preppy, vintage looks raved so much for the Proenza Schouler PS1 Satchel. But have you met my beloved PS1′s little sister? This cute and buckled beauty is the PS11, an updated rendition of the hit satchel that’s on every fashionista’s wish list.

It is designed to be a little bit smaller, yet it is equipped with compartments both on the interior and exterior for easier storage. The most noticeable difference is the edgier hardware on the front. There is subtle stud detailing and a grill hardware with a lock/fastening clasp.

The PS11, although significantly much younger than the PS1, is already getting a lot of fame. Unlike the PS1 though, it has very limited color options at this time. But since it was only a year luxury marketing ago when it debuted, this is very understandable. I am predicting a wider range of colors and color combis in the future for this bag, seeing that the brand already decided to dabble into a little colorblocking for one of its newest renditions.

Have you ever walked down a dark alleyway in the middle of the night and wished you had listened to your mom when she told you to carry a can of pepper spray in your bag?

Thanks to Christian Louboutin, there is now a more fashionable alternative to carrying self-defense devices. Introducing the Artemis Python Shoulder Bag, priced at roughly $2,000.?It works both as an edgy fashion accessory and a scary prop to wade off criminals and possibly everyone else.

Kate Spade Jezibel & Anna Sui Raffia Frame

Summer is far from over. You still have a couple of weekends to spend lounging on the beach to perfect your tan. Aside from your banging beach bod, don’t forget to bring along a fabulous beach bag.

Here are some of the top contenders for coolest beach bag of this season. Both portray a different kind of style, which I think works effectively in their own rights. The Kate Spade Jezibel Tote features a fun flamingo design from cowhide leather and resin handles. The hot pink color calls out to the girly beach babes who want to draw some attention from the crowd.

Chanel Luxury Ligne Bowler in deep red

We can’t all be as lucky as Ivanka Trump, she’s got beauty, brains and power (unlike the other heiress who’s hogging all the spotlight). Aside from the billions of dollars in Donald Trump’s bank account, I’m sure he considers Ivanka as one of his greatest treasures.

Although this girl has a whopping balance on her bank account just like her dad, she rarely gets pictured with a designer bag in tow. In a rare chance, she was spotted with a super chic Chanel Luxury Ligne Bowler in deep red. The bag costs around $2,000 and features a simple and elegant design perfect for this tasteful heiress.

Spotted: Blake Lively and Leighton Meester strolling around Paris, overdosing on Chanel. The two were in character for the shoot of an episode of Gossip Girl, hence all the shopping bags and magnificent wardrobe.

An item that stands out in the picture is Blake’s gorgeous arm candy – the Fendi Peek a Boo Tote in snakeskin leather. This bag is fabulous in a myriad of ways, starting from the classic structure to the splash of pleasant surprise in its interior. It has quickly coveted the “It Bag” spot and has been seen on the arms of equally stylish celebs. The price tag of this large all-python version is around $5,000. Yowza!

My jaw instinctively dropped wide open when I saw this posted on another blog. I have always been a huge fan of the Mulberry brand, and this newest release just further reconfirms my Mulberry obsession.

This Ivory Faux Python Alexa comes from the brand’s Resort 2012 Collection. It has that urban chic look of the popular Alexa bag, added with a touch of glam – the very drool-worthy python exterior in an ivory tone. This fresh look, plus the neutral color kind of makes it look like a PS1 Satchel, don’t you think?

The collection features a playful mix of textures and prints, inspired by the 1970s British seaside. FYI, this has not hit the shelves yet, and when it does, I’ll be the first in line with a credit card ready.

At first glance, this beauty can almost be mistaken as an Alexander McQueen creation. That is, if you take out the chain strap and do some modifications on the silhouette, which are both a dead giveaway.

Fashion is all about taking risks and having fun

Fashion is all about taking risks and having fun. Something too conventional and expected will never be given the kind of appreciation and notice a risky fashion item will always have.

And speaking of risky, here we have a perfectly good Proenza Schouler PS1 Satchel stamped with a “look at me” kind of floral print. The dark brown leather is obviously contrasting with the print, and it is a bit unlikely of the brand to bring in florals to a PS1, which has got me raising an eyebrow.

I’m a bit perplexed with this one. As much as I love PS, this might be a tad too much for me. What are your thoughts? Do you love it or think it’s a mockery?

There are only a couple of celebrity fashion lines that are really worthy of the limelight and hats off to Victoria Beckham for being one of them. I know she was stereotyped as the quintessential skinny bitch who just had to have all the hottest designer purses but don’t hate on her too much. She has worked real hard to be able to transform into a REAL designer.

Victoria Beckham’s line was recently shown in New York Fashion Week. This new range of clothing and accessories will be at a slightly lower price range than her last collection.

The handbags were more than notable. And although most of it was of limited and neutral hues, there were also some pop of bright citrus colors here and there. Subtle colorblocking was also applied to some of the bags. In total, I loved the whole collection BUT it left me thinking too. Victoria Beckham wants to torture me by blatantly promoting a weird way to tote around a purse. Hmmm.. Should I start carrying my bags like this??

And of course, I would have to squeeze the clutches to add some drama too…

Recently, Fendi presented their Fall 2011 Collection in Milan’s Fashion Week. The smokey-eyed, pale-lipped models strutted in ladylike ensembles, with fur and ruffle details prevailing the looks. Karl Lagerfeld’s vision was a collage that showcased a mismatch of textures and colors that so wonderfully worked together.

The handbags in the collection did not disappoint as well. This season, we will be seeing a lot of different new takes of the favorites: Silvana, 2Bag and Peekaboo. There is also a new bag in Fendi town – the Chameleon, which has already gotten some major praises from the public. These new bags also feature some of your favorite exotic leathers and I have my eye on the Ostrich Peekaboo, which looks more interesting and exotic than its croc counterpart. Here are some more pictures from the collection.

I’m a big fan of Balenciaga bags

I’m a big fan of Balenciaga bags. Their motorcycle bags are the epitome of urban chic, which is one of the reasons why celebs and fashionistas go gaga over them. This Balenciaga replica Louis Vuitton Wallets tote however, got me disappointed. Call me old fashioned, but I prefer my bag’s hardware to be in gorgeous gold.

Although the padlock detail has proven to be a big thing in the world of designer handbags, this Balenciaga Padlock Tote falls short of my expectations, and maybe yours too.

See, they have replaced the usual hardware (gold, platinum, silver) to a bright red enamel, which creates an obvious contrast to the solid color of the bag. Although a few, bolder women may find this combination appealing, I honestly think it is a bit tacky. The structure of the bag itself can be considered classic, but the color-pop detail and the rounded strap below the handles are too much for me. And with an expensive price tag of $2,000, I doubt that this one would have a huge following.

A couple of months ago, Coach was looking for a new face for their Hermes Belts Replica brand. Soon after, it was confirmed that their new global brand ambassador would be A-list Hollywood star Gwyneth Paltrow. A great choice, I must say.

The brand is celebrating their 70th anniversary, and creative director Reed Krakoff deemed Gwyneth to be “a natural choice” for the ad campaign. This fresh-faced blonde beauty apparently reflects the urban American look the brand wanted to depict for their foreign consumers.

Peter Lindbergh choose a rooftop in Manhattan for the shoot. The ad campaign will be used in international magazines this fall, mostly for the Asian and European market.

Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen’s high-end fashion line The Row was recently debuted at Barneys New York. The twins looked beautiful and more tan than usual. Both were also pretty proud of their new handbag collection.

The nine-piece collection was more than promising. This was genius. As long as you can afford the super expensive bags, you are well on your way to becoming the next trendsetter in your social circle. The price range of these luxe purses start at around $2,500 and racks up to a whopping $39,000.

The bags epitomize ultimate luxury, showcasing a timeless, structured look in each piece. After all the monogramming and heavy logo details in most designer bags, this collection was truly a breath of fresh air. Of course, these two fashion moguls had to make sure we bagaholics get our dose of exotics. There are renditions with some croc, lizard, alligator and ostrich skins. With a modern-day sensibility, a vintage air and a super expensive price tag, this collection has quickly ranked top one in my bucket list.

Despite how beautiful and flawless my next designer bag purchase

Everyone can use a little extra money. Despite how beautiful and flawless my next designer bag purchase is, I would be more than happy to find another seller that offers it at a cheaper price. Here are the Sport Brand Action top 5 things you can do to stretch your savings.

1. Go for a classic.

Instead of choosing a super edgy or trendy bag that will only be considered “hot” for a couple of months, opt for a timeless design like a Chanel Flap or a Louis Vuitton Speedy. Since these classics look good with almost any outfit, you won’t need to buy a handful for every outfit in your closet too.

2. Stick with a trusted site.

If you want to save you hard-earned moolah, now’s not the time to try out that new replica shopping site that you heard about. There are some that have hidden charges and will just burn you out. Better stick with your trusted retailer.

3. Look for deals.

There are several sites that offer great deals and promos Fashion Ladies Clothing for the frugal fashionistas. There are also some seasons when almost everything is on sale. If you get lucky, you’ll find a site that offers permanent mark down rated for everything.

4. Do multiple purchases if you can.

Most replica sites offer big savings for multiple purchases. The more you buy, the bigger the savings. Whenever I get the urge to do some bag shopping and want to take advantage of this offer, I usually call up my girlfriends so we can order together. It’s a great way to bond and save at the same time.

5. Free shipping rules.

There are some sites that have cheap bag prices but then they rip you off in super expensive shipping fees. If you want real big savings, look for the few ones that offer free shipping or super low shipping fees. Yes, this can be challenging but you’ll hit the jackpot once you find these sites.

If we lived in a perfect world, then we could afford all the Chanels we could ever want in a lifetime. Unfortunately, this is one cruel world and all my dream bag’s price tags are unbelievably expensive. Even replica bags can cost too much at times. So what is the perfect price range for a good quality replica, you ask? Read on and find out.

Too Cheap

Cheap knockoffs that cost around $20 or less are not worth it. These glorified plastic bags may seemingly save you a whole lot of money, but these replicas are done very badly and look very tacky too. Most of these bag designs are so far off from the real thing that it looks like a totally different model/design.

Too Pricey

Unfortunately, there are big bad wolves who pretend to be nice sellers to rip you off. If you see designer bags that cost $500 or more, it is best that you steer clear of them. Yes, they can definitely pass as genuine but there are countless more that will do the same, at a cheaper price. These replicas are just a waste of money.

Just Perfect

In my experience, and based on a lot of research as well, the perfect price point for the best replicas is around $200 – $300. Most of the bags I have bought are in this range and I have been extremely satisfied with each and every one of them. The most trustworthy sellers and online shops will offer this kind of price range and the products will be well worth every penny too.

If you are a newbie in buying replica designer bags and goods, there are a couple of things that you need to know before making that first purchase. Don’t just dive in and buy the first cheap knockoffs you see. Be a smart consumer and do some research first.

Replica bags have different qualities. They can be classified as exact replicas, AAA quality, super quality, mirror image, etc. These largely determine how much the bags are priced.

Although there are many sites and retailers that are trustworthy and responsible, there are also dozens that do nothing but steal your money. Learn to identify which sites are honest and which ones are scams.

Most replica bags, regardless of the quality or classification, are made in factories in China. This has become a big industry there.

It can take up to a year or more for manufacturers to replicate a newly released design, especially if it is filled with complicated details or accents.

There are also several websites that do reviews about replica shopping sites online. You can take advantage of these review sites to gather up all the information you need before buying.

Some people say that the oversized bag trend is over. I beg to disagree. I think large bags or oversized bags (however you might want to call it) is here to stay for a long time. Why? It is very practical and women just love practicality.

The Alexander McQueen De Manta Large Leather Tote has all the room in the world for all your essentials. Make-up, flip flops and other whatnots would have no problem being squeezed together in this very roomy designer tote. It features the iconic foldover corners, some tonal stitching, zip top closure and double top handles. The structured yet edgy look, with the army toned green, can go from office to night out easily. It goes for around $1,200?and also comes in other colors, including the “Faithful” version, which features McQueen’s trademark skull design.

The 2011 Teen Choice Awards held on Universal City last August 7 was packed with celebrities both young and old, who were all of course dressed to the nines.

Cameron Diaz was one of the A-listers who made sure the paparazzi and the public would be more than happy with what she wore. She showed off her super long legs in a nude tone ?A.L.C.?strapless dress. Apart from her Burak Uyan color blocked sandals, her arm candy was also a show stopper. The Chloe Sally Clutch, priced at $1,895,??is the perfect accessory for the minimalist look. It features the perfect mix of simplicity with its nude tone and luxury with its exotic python leather.

Pete Wentz who?? Ashlee Simpson seems to be very happy with new boyfriend Vincent Piazza and her obviously shorter and blonder new do’. Why is it that when girls go through a break-up, they always cut their hair short? Hmm..

The recently divorced singer is carrying a Rebecca Minkoff Swing Fringe Bag. The fringe look may not be for everyone, but this bag is perfect for the laid-back, bohemian fashionistas who want to roam the streets with their cool vibe. RM is one designer who does fringe details so right that it never looks tacky. This rendition is one of my favorite fringe-infused bag from the brand, so far.

SJP is carrying a Louis Vuitton Crossbody Bag

Sarah Jessica Parker is among Hollywood’s trend setters. She may not get it right every time but I love that she takes risks in her outfits. That is so Carrie Bradshaw, don’t you think?

SJP is carrying a Louis Vuitton Crossbody Bag from the brand’s Spring/Summer 2011 Collection. Aside from the uber-cute accessory, I am also loving her fabulous fur coat. By the looks of it, I am guessing this one is from Hermes. See the little H on the buckles? Looks super luxe, and the pop of color from the LV purse makes everything a little bit sweeter.

I’m never one to be all matchy-matchy with my outfit but this particular plum combination looks great on Katie Couric. Thank God she decided to wear nude platform pumps.

The Bottega Veneta Cabat Tote, priced at around $4,000, seems to be a celeb favorite. Aside from the fabulously and intricately woven leather, this luxe tote has that roomy interior that most active women like Katie require. You can fit all of your essentials in the purse. Even your small dog can fit there! Above all, the uniquely designed tote is a standout among the other designer bags. No other purse has woven leather as beautiful as this.

Would you buy a trash bag worth $895? What if it’s Christian Louboutin? I can always appreciate designers trying to incorporate a little “green” element on their pieces but for that price tag, this might be a little too much.

The Christian Louboutin Lou Trash Bag looks like glorified, wearable trash. Designer Louboutin always had a unique take on fashion and seems to be very evident in this piece. The great thing about it is the “trash” detailing on the bag’s flap is one of a kind, so each bag will have it’s very own trashy design.

There are some elements of lush styling – leopard haircalf strap, gold chain and leather edges but unfortunately, none of them helped the bag. What do you think, would you shell out big bucks for wearable designer trash?

You have a new Chanel purse, but it’s a replica. Who cares? Most people will not be able to tell the difference between a genuine and a replica anyway. The trick is how you carry the bag. Because if you carry it properly, people won’t think it’s not real.

Here are some tips:

Get a replica with great quality. These mirror image replicas are exact copies of the real deal. They are able to copy all the important details, from the interior to the texture of the leather.

Dress the part. You don’t have to wear a cocktail dress or an expensive, bejewelled gown to fool people into thinking you are rich enough to buy expensive designer goods. I just mean that people are going to have a hard time believing your latest arm candy is real if you keep going out in sweatpants looking like a hot mess.

Be confident. Confidence is the best accessory any girl can have. If you walk with your head up high, you will look fabulous, regardless of your bag’s label.

Rihanna is one of the few blessed to look good in almost any outfit. No matter how edgy or high fashion the clothes are, Riri still seems to be able to pull it off. This is exactly why I like her. Because while Lady Gaga chooses to be all weird in her costumes, Rihanna has the right mind to make her outfits high fashion without having to give up her edgy personality.

This Fleet Ilya crossbody armor bag may not be the usual accessory choice for many, but it is able to show off her unique personality and her taste for edgy fashion pieces perfectly. Fits her very well!

Pregnant Beyonce Knowles here is looking super happy and beautiful. She doesn’t even look pregnant as she hides her tummy pretty well with flowy fabrics. She looks like her normal, bootylicious self.

Beyonce’s?brightly colored Hermes Kelly is also the perfect accessory to draw out attention from her tummy to the bag. But I have to say I don’t like it when Hermes bags are being carried around like a normal messenger bag. Come on people, this is like one of the most luxurious and sophisticated bags in the market. I think we are all obligated to treat it rightfully. That goes out to you too, Beyonce.

Get a replica with great quality.

Most of us skim through the terms and policies and go straight to the good stuff – the “I agree” button. This is bad practice. Really bad practice. Especially in the world of replica handbags.

Imagine this scenario – you order a couple of bags from a site a so-called friend suggested and you automatically assume everything will go fine. But what if it doesn’t? What’s your assurance that you will be able to get a refund? or at least exchange a bad merchandise? What if ?you do not get the merchandise at all?

If you are lucky, the website and its customer service people Fashion Dress Up will handle the trouble, apologize to your heart’s content, give you freebies and make sure you get the product you want in top top shape this time. But since we don’t live in a perfect world, there’s a big chance that the website you bought from is a scam and you just got ripped off.

This is when you realize the importance of reading fine print. The most legit websites will often make sure that their return policies are detailed, fair and sensible. If upon reviewing, you discover that most of the policies are too awkwardly senseless, then it’s better to stay away from that site for good.

|||

Some people may think it cheap, others might even regard it as a crime. Well I don’t really care. Point is, I love my replica bags no matter what anyone thinks and says about them.

Why do I love them? Because they bring me savings, big ones! If I was as wealthy as the Real Housewives on Bravo, then I’d be parading my Birkins in every color possible too. But since I’m an average fashionista, I have to make do with what I can afford.

And I can confidently say that I have all the right to choose the kind of merchandise I will buy with my money. It is MY money, after all. If you have the same sentiments, hold your head up high and be proud of being a smart and practical shopper too.

I have heard a lot of chitchats about replica bags from people who do not really know anything about them. One of the biggest myths I have heard is that replica bags have poor quality.

This was true, ten years ago. There was a time when knockoffs had bad quality, and I mean real bad quality. Nowadays though, replica bags have become big business. This means that the people behind the businesses exert more effort and invest more money in the manufacturing process. And with the technology available nowadays, you can be sure that the replica goods now are not the same as they were 10, 15 years ago.

Yes, there are still cheap replicas that have poor quality but there are countless that look dead on like the real deal, and I have a couple of them in my closet.

Finding a reliable replica shopping site is just like finding the perfect pair of shoes. It becomes your go-to, a best friend that you can depend on anytime and everytime. But since there are countless of online sites that promise the best quality and the lowest prices, it can be a challenge to choose one or two to trust. Here are some tips on how you can be a happy replica shopper:

Before anything else, try consulting an expert in the field. This can be a girlfriend or a fashion guru online who has enough knowledge and replica shopping experience and can dish out the pros and cons about the experience.

When you have found a site that seems good, try out their customer service first. Remember that this can play a big part in case you might encounter problems in the future.

Closely inspect the details of the website. Even the smallest details can be a telltale sign if the website is good or bad.

Google forums and the likes that have discussion boards about replica bag topics. Research is very important.

As long as you don’t make any rash decisions and do some digging before shopping, your chances of finding the right replica shopping site will be excellent.

One of the things that you should look out for when looking at online shopping sites – great customer service. Aside from this being a basic customer need, it also says loads about the company or product.

I always say to check or try out the customer service of a website first before shelling out money on their products. Regardless of how much the bag is, it is your right as a consumer to get the help that you need no matter how annoying or irate you may become.

Most online replica bag websites offer customer service through email, live chat or hotline. Some have only email, while there are a few that offer the three options 24/7. I have noticed that live chat seems to be the more popular one. Almost every shopping site I have reviewed or bought from immediately has the “live chat” option popping out of the screen. The problem is, not all of them are exactly “live” all the time, which means your query or complaint will be sent as email and be answered around 2-3 days.

I always take notice of the ones that have hotline numbers. And before I make a purchase, I call a couple times and gauge how knowledgeable, helpful and reliable their customer service people are. Chances are, if they invested in quality customer service, they also have quality products.?

The Prada Gauffre has a price tag

Why is it that Victoria Beckham always has first dibs on the hottest bags? Is this a perk for being a Spice Girl or for being married to one of the hottest athletes ever?

The Prada Gauffre has a price tag of around $1,700 and is a definite stand out among the other luxurious designer bags. It features uber-trendy ruching, a technique that gives the leather a unique look. I must warn you though that it takes major expertise to perfect this method, so if you are planning to buy cheap ripoffs of the bag, think twice. Most of them come out pretty ghastly.

Louis Vuitton Replica Handbags

Prada has got a lot of arm candies to boast about, but the one that has got me drooling so much is the Prada Antic Cervo. This bag, in my opinion, is superior to all the other designer bags in the market. Well, at least most of them.

The Antic Cervo Satchel on Gisele Bundchen‘s supermodel arm costs about $2,500. And it reeks of fine quality and exquisite craftsmanship in every way. It features double top handles, goldtone hardware and a detachable shoulder strap for that thrown in functionality women need. Its rich and antiqued dark brown leather is almost orgasmic! Lust-worthy much, right?

Rihanna is looking fabulous with her fiery red hair, but looks a bit tired and frizzy here. Probably from enduring the long hours of flight and the long lines at the airport.

She was spotted leaving LAX wearing black overalls, pink sneakers and the Prada Denim Tote. This bag, priced at around $900, is fresh from the luxury brand’s Spring/Summer 2011 Collection. It features a denim exterior (obviously), gold hardware, double top handles and a black detachable shoulder strap. It would have been way nicer though, if they used blue denim for the straps too. It kinda looks out of place don’t ya think? I’m not too giddy about its overall look too.

Eva Longoria doesn’t seem to be that much affected after her divorce became official. She still looks as great as can be, no mourning period whatsoever. While some might view this as a boring celeb break-up, I say good for her.

Louis Vuitton Cheap Handbags

Armed with a beautiful Prada Pitone Frame bag, Eva showcases herself all over town. This delicious arm candy is priced at $2,600 and boasts an exquisite leather and python skin exterior. The bag is pretty roomy on the inside too. I would initially assume that it would be worth more, but it seems to be more affordable than other bags of the same make. Good news for us then!

Thanks to Christian Louboutin

Would you buy a trash bag worth $895? What if it’s Christian Louboutin? I can always appreciate designers trying to incorporate a little “green” element on their pieces but for that price tag, this might be a little too much.

The Christian Louboutin Lou Trash Bag looks like glorified, wearable trash. Designer Louboutin always had a unique take on fashion and seems to be very evident in this

There are some elements of lush styling – leopard haircalf strap, gold chain and leather edges but unfortunately, none of them helped the bag. What do you think, would you shell out big bucks for wearable designer trash?

Have you ever walked down a dark alleyway in the middle of the night and wished you had listened to your mom when she told you to carry a can of pepper spray in your bag

Thanks to Christian Louboutin, there is now a more fashionable alternative to carrying self-defense devices. Introducing the Artemis Python Shoulder Bag, priced at roughly $2,000.?It works both as an edgy fashion accessory and a scary prop to wade off criminals and possibly everyone else.

This super edgy bag is aptly named after an ancient Greek God who symbolizes hunting and the wilderness. Hence, the massive spikes and the luscious python leather (which is beautiful, by the way). While it might not be for everyone, this is perfect for those edgy, Gaga-inspired fashionistas who want to bring out the huntress in them.

Would you carry this bag?

Fashion is all about taking risks and having fun. Something too conventional and expected will never be given the kind of appreciation and notice a risky fashion item will always have.

And speaking of risky, here we have a perfectly good Proenza Schouler Louis Vuitton Bracelets PS1 Satchel stamped with a “look at me” kind of floral print. The dark brown leather is obviously contrasting with the print, and it is a bit unlikely of the brand to bring in florals to a PS1, which has got me raising an eyebrow.

I’m a bit perplexed with this one. As much as I love PS, this might be a tad too much for me. What are your thoughts? Do you love it or think it’s a mockery?

There are only a couple of celebrity fashion lines that are really worthy of the limelight and hats off to Victoria Beckham for being one of them. I know she was stereotyped as the quintessential skinny bitch who just had to have all the hottest designer purses but don’t hate on her too much. She has worked real hard to be able to transform into a REAL designer.

Victoria Beckham’s line was recently shown in New York Fashion Week. This new range of clothing and accessories will be at a slightly lower price range than her last collection.

The handbags were more than notable. And although most of it was of limited and neutral hues, there were also some pop of bright citrus colors here and there. Subtle colorblocking was also applied to some of the bags. In total, I loved the whole collection BUT it left me thinking too. Victoria Beckham wants to torture me by blatantly promoting a weird way to tote around a purse. Hmmm.. Should I start carrying my bags like this??

And of course, I would have to squeeze the clutches to add some drama too…

A couple of months ago, Coach was looking for a new face for their brand. Soon after, it was confirmed that their new global brand ambassador would be A-list Hollywood star Gwyneth Paltrow. A great choice, I must say.

The brand is celebrating their 70th anniversary, and creative director Reed Krakoff deemed Gwyneth to be “a natural choice” for the ad campaign. This fresh-faced blonde beauty apparently reflects the urban American look the brand wanted to depict for their foreign consumers.

Peter Lindbergh choose a rooftop in Manhattan for the shoot. The ad campaign will be used in international magazines this fall, mostly for the Asian and European market.

Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen’s high-end fashion line The Row was recently debuted at Barneys New York. The twins looked beautiful and more tan than usual. Both were also pretty proud of their new handbag collection.

The nine-piece collection was more than promising. This was genius. As long as you can afford the super expensive bags, you are well on your way to becoming the next trendsetter in your social circle. The price range of these luxe purses start at around $2,500 and racks up to a whopping $39,000.

The bags epitomize ultimate luxury, showcasing a timeless, structured look in each piece. After all the monogramming and heavy logo details in most designer bags, this collection was truly a breath of fresh air. Of course, these two fashion moguls had to make sure we bagaholics get our dose of exotics. There are renditions with some croc, lizard, alligator and ostrich skins. With a modern-day sensibility, a vintage air and a super expensive price tag, this collection has quickly ranked top one in my bucket list.

“That classic, minimalist person can wear The Row head-to-toe but if you also want to buy the tote bag to wear with more ornate things, it works either way.Understated, elegant and beautifully designed—it doesn’t surprise me at all that the bags look like they do.” -Amanda Brooks, Barneys Fashion Director

Emma Watson once more signifies Burberry nicely

Basically had been an extravagance BOSS, I possibly could hardly think about a celebrity which I’d favour symbolizing my personal manufacturer compared to Harry Potter celebrity Emma Watson. She’s well-spoken, free from scandal, very fashionable as well as photographed continuously. Exactly what much more might anybody request? This doesn’t have a skyrocket scientist to determine the reason why Burberry is actually tossing cash as well as free of charge things from the woman's.

I’m possibly less aboard along with the woman's jacket right here – this appears similar to the bathmat – however fortunately she’s distracting everybody using the Burberry Studded Dark night Tote which she’s already been carrying throughout development for that previous 30 days approximately. She’s already been photographed by using it within virtually each and every ensemble I’ve observed the woman's put on because the Harry Potter push foofaraw began, therefore I’d state which Burberry gets lots of come back upon it's expense along with the woman's.
