This bag is one of those prized possessions where your opportunity to get one comes around only once. Or more accurately, once a year around Christmas time when Neiman Marcus publishes their Christmas Book. This is American white alligator dyed in silver. Available in The Book for $18,500.

Lindsay Lohan will pose for Chanel. OK. I am speechless!!! WTF?? First Selma Blair and now Lindsay Lohan? Karl needs to get a new prescription for those glasses he's wearing. Or maybe its just plain glass in there and he needs to go see an optometrist. I thought Chanel stood for something else. Like style, class and beauty but what do I know, I'm being sued.

Oh Delicious Bag Snob,

I couldn't possibly adore you more than I did this morning when I read that "Karl Lagerfeld Has Lost His Mind". You are delightful! Please NEVER lose your marvelous sense of happy slander!

Yes, the executives at Chanel have gone insane! From Catherine Deneuve and Vanessa Paradis to two American who are hardly the standard of beauty and style is absurd! Comment by Annreplica chanel bag

Yes, we like to make fun of the Kaiser but his couture runway show at the Grand Palais in Paris was nothing short of genius. OK, so no bags were shown, but we give props when props are in order. The spiral staircase is what you would expect from Karl, over the top (indeed!). He made Coco proud by modernizing her asthetics, like showing the collection in go-go boots similar to the ones she wore in the 50's (yes, 50's not 60's). His collection was black and white and had all the classics you would expect from the House of Chanel. What we love are all the camellias and organdy and satin details he does so well to give that girly flair without looking like a birthday cake. What I wouldn't do to lay down $500K to update my wardrobe. Ahhh, there is nothing so fabulous as haute couture!!lv handbag

Dust off your go go boots cuz the '60's are back in full swing! We have not seen so much patent leather since Goldie Hawn was bouncing around in a cage. From cult fave designers Marni and Dell'Aqua to classic favorite Chanel, it seems everyone has gone psychedelic. My favorite is Allesandro Dell'Aqua's patent mirror bag, how fabulous to be able to look at yourself all day long! But vanity doesn't come cheap so start saving up now, early fall deliveries of bags begin mid-summerluxury handbag

This Lil' Kim inspired Judith Leiber-esque bag from Chanel is breathtakingly ugly. With it's ghetto proportioned Run DMC chain handle, it's perfect for soon to be divorcee Kimora Lee to use when she goes out to catch the next hip hop mogul. Chanel is too embarassed to publish the price but it is furnished upon request, call 800-550-0005

This is exactly what's missing in every billionaire wife's closet! An extravagantly sequined, beaded, gaudy bag with skunk tail handle to flaunt her husband's wealth. Price too ridiculous to print. Call Prada replica handbags

The ever brilliant Karl Lagerfeld struck gold with Spring's youthfully exuberant collection at Chanel, literally and figuratively, upping the bling factor with stacks of gold bracelets and chunky gold chains(borderline tacky but it is Chanel so we'll forgive). There were also ultra mini skirts, skin tight jeans, and baby doll dresses shown with platform shoes. All looks that young trophy wives of gazillionaires will embrace. Chanel loyalist need not worry though, there were plenty of classic tweed jackets and little black dresses, just shrunken to mini-me proportions. We also loved the few bags that were shown on the runway (Chanel is fiercely protective of bag designs, do you blame them with knock offs everywhere?) 2.55 bags were downsized, trimmed in chains, and embellished with Coco's signature charms. All in all, a cheeky and fun collection that won't go down in fashion history but will satisfy the young socialite pret-a-porter clientele that the House of Chanel loves courting.replica lv bags 

This was shown to me yesterday at the Chanel boutique and I almost passed out from excitement. It is one of the coolest crocodile bags I have ever seen! It's a perfect shade of gray that will go with everything, the skin is absolutely flawless with not a single pinhole size mark (this was obviously a friendly crocodile that did not get in to many skirmishes with other reptiles), and the unstructured shape is totally casual and chic. I also love the chunky silver chain, which gives the bag a younger appeal. Excuse the blurry camera phone photo as I did not have my camera. I must start carrying my camera with me at all times like the paparazzi, but since I am casing bags not celebs does that make me a bagarazzi?

There are only 4 left in the US and at $13,800 it probably won't sell out anytime soon but with Paris and Nicole back shopping together as BFF and buying everything in sight, you better move quickly. Call Alexis at the Chanel Boutique in Highland Park should you be interested and have lots of money to blow. 214-520-1055replica bags 

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:

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.
