replica handbag

Net-a-Porter is doing free shipping with promotion code HOLIDAYSthru Dec. 4, 2006. This is the perfect opportunity to get the winter white Marc Jacobs Stam for the holidays. I prefer to use this bag without the chain (picture is the back of the bag) but of course the chain is the big to do about this bag - I guess it's a good thing the chain is detachable. And I don't understand why the rumor got started that white cannot be worn this time of year, it is the perfect time for white, that is why any designer that is worth mentioning is doing white bags for winter. $1275.luxury handbags 

There is a good article in the Telegraph about what you should consider keeping in your closet for future resale as vintage. This is especially important for the avant-garde gals because it is the outrageous that stand the test of time in the vintage market. I suppose that makes sense, my black Prada sweaters will not be so exciting in 20 years but how I wish I didn't get rid of my purple Thierry Mugler jacket with the giant pointed Joker like collars! Apparently that is hot commodities these days! Or my Versace print denim jacket. It makes me laugh just to think about it. I might have to rummage through my parent's house to see what I can salvage. As for bags, you've heard this from us before - buy the classics and spend a few extra bucks on Chanel and Hermes. They will only increase in value over time. Remember the Cristobal Balenciaga inspired Edition bag Nicolas Ghesquiere did for Balenciaga? That for sure is a collectors item. Another for sure vintage worthy bag is this Pierre Hardy. Spend wisely and you will be making money!replica lv bag 

You think the Muse or the Chanel trash bag is ridiculously big? Well then you haven't seen the Grande Louis Vuitton Suhali tote. This is not only 19" x 14.3", it is also goat skin so you can just imagine how heavy it is. At first I thought this was some sort of luggage but oh no, it is a regular bag. I mean, say you do need a bag this size for all your stuff, the problem is once you fill it how do you pick it up? I tried picking it up empty (except for the tissue stuffing) and my shoulders immediately started shouting obscenities at me. Seriously, this bag is the size of my refrigerator door.

Chanel wallets
It seems everyone is on the hunt for the perfect wallet, we've received numerous emails from readers who can't seem to find one that fits all of their needs. I've gone through half a dozen wallets myself in the last few years and my favorite is my Chanel long caviar leather wallet with separate compartments for foreign currency, checks, cash, and credit cards. Wallets are very personal as they contain our entire lives in them and they are used more than any other accessory so we want them to look pretty, be functional, and they need to be sturdy enough to stand the abuse they are put through on a daily basis! With that in mind, here are a few of the best choices online:

Lanvin Silver Hero is impossibly chic and just exudes style and polish. You all know how I adore Alber Elbaz, he has seriously never disappointed me. Whether it be dresses (my Lanvin spring dresses are starting to arrive at Barneys! Just picked up the ivory one today), bags, belts, or killer cone heels, Lanvin is the ultimate for me. What other designer delivers on every aspect of it's line? Hermes has it's iconic birkins but the Gaultier designed clothes are so boring, Chanel bags are the good ol' classics but the clothing of late lack inspiration (I mean how many little Chanel tweed jackets do I need? They all look alike after a while), Fendi should have stuck with the ever popular baguette instead of a slew of hideous self proclaimed "it" bags (although I love it's line of clothes by Karl), everyone agrees that Jimmy Choo shoes are fab but the bags should not be seen in the light of day, and Valentino, well you guys knows how we feel about it's line of bags. But Lanvin, Lanvin is magical, and yes, I am biased but don't tell me this bag doesn't make you want to whip out your Amex! We love the chunky chain links, it's more youthful and fresh than classic chain straps and it modernizes the traditional baguette shape. We also love the buttery soft metallic silver lambskin, think of silver as the new black in your bag wardrobe and wear it with everything! $1,200 At Barneys New York Dallas 469-221-4723 (The best staffed and stocked Barneys store, including the very dapperJackson, Barneys' Personal Concierge who can get you just aboutanything your heart desires)herve leger 

For your Sunday reading pleasure... Our favorite fashion writer/prize winning novelist,Linda Grant, wrote a fantastic article on Anya Hindmarch for UK's Telegraph. You Bag Snobs out there will really enjoy it! By the way, notice my pale gold Alessandra bag on the right side of the photo. I can not tell you how much I am enjoying this bag. It has taken the place of my Chanel 2.55 this season (it's also more comfortable as Anya thoughtfully wrapped a piece of leather around the chains) and I get stopped everywhere by women who covet it!

I find Karl Lagerfeld utterly fascinating, the man is a creative genius as seen by his latest art inspiration for the House of Chanel. I mean who else would think of commissioning a 7,500 sq. ft traveling pavilion to showcase Chanel's classic quilted handbag around the world? Designed by 15 contemporary artists from around the globe who were given carte blanche to create this work inspired by the 2.55 quilted handbag famous for its quilted leather, chain handles and rectangular shape (which makes up 30% of Chanel's business). This amazing blend of fashion and architecture will be open to the public while on exhibit in locations such as Hong Kong, where it makes its debut next January. The pavilion, which will accommodates up to 2,000 people a day, will then travel to Tokyo, New York, Los Angeles, London, Moscow and Paris — a journey that will take until 2010 to complete. Boasting exhibition space of more than 6,000 square feet, the 7,500-square-foot pavilion also will house a cloakroom, reception area and rest rooms.

You must go see this when it comes to a city near you! It will be an exhibit experience of a lifetime.

Loved loved loved Dior's Couture collection!! And I really loved that Galliano used old time models like Naomi, Shalom, Amber, Linda and Karen that I used to work with when I was young (oh! I did not just call these girls old!!), although I never actually worked with Linda but I wish I had. When I say worked with them, I meant that I brought coffee and took Polaroids of them, and held Naomi's white fur coat while she was being fitted so that it didn't touch anything (other than my grubby hands of course). It's funny how they claim to be the same age as me now but when I worked with them, they were definitely older. I guess their math is as good as mine. We still love them no matter their age, they look amazing, partly from the fact that Galliano, as Christian Dior did, loves women and knows how to accentuate all our fabulous parts. This is the 60th Anniversary of the House of Dior and Galliano showed restraint and respect to the man who revolutionized the way women dressed. The show was theatrical as always but was romantic and genuine instead of outrageous for the sake of being outrageous. I always fantasized about the days when women dressed up, I mean really dressed up like Marie Antoinette, and although I don't see myself veering from daily my t-shirt andjeans routine (I was on my way to a daytime wedding and stopped by Starbucks in my floor length gown, hair all done, makeup not exactly meant for harsh lighting and everyone stared at me like I was nuts. Imagine any of these gowns in that scenario), there are those occasion where Dior or Chanel Couture would come in handy.luxury handbags
