Louis Vuitton trash bag purse


Really? Really? Louis Vuitton has changed their style from the traditional monogrammed bags and have opted for a new aesthetic.. This new aesthetic.. is a trash bag purse.

Oh and its for $1,960!

I understand that maybe Marc Jacobs was trying to appeal to the Go Green movement.. But I mean the bag is essentially a trash bag with a leather handle.

Angelina does Marie Claire


Ms. Jolie is looking lovely on the cover of the new Marie Claire Australia issue! In this issue she opens up about Brad and lays to rest the never ending rumors of their "split". She also talks about the Jolie-Pitt foundation the couple set up. The couple donated $1 million to the Haiti relief effort. She says that she wants her children to understand the fact that inequality exists in the world.

This woman always leaves me speechless!
What do you think of her cover?

Planet Chanel


The inspiration for this line came to Karl Lagerfeld in "an electronic flash in my head at five o'clock one morning. Silver and pastel," he says. The line was indeed very different form what Mr.Lagerfeld usually sends down the runway. He agrees as he stated, "It's the first time in my whole career I've done a collection without black or navy. There's not one gold button."

The collection was a blend of romantic, and space age. The silver booties and heart, bow shaped hair complemented this. I can't help but see Gaga's influence on the world of fashion as this was a turn really unexpected for Lagerfeld! Gaga's certainly making her mark!

Romance in Spring


Elie Saab held his own last week in Paris with his 2010 couture show. The line had a very romantic, soft, delicate feel to it. This was a great move on Saab's part as it showed a great variety in his talents. The dresses were consistent, he was definitely pushing 4 types of silhouettes.

All together the line was a great display of his talents and a great breath of fresh air.
