Celine: Black and Natural

Isn't she lovely? And it looks like she is giving us the straight face.  

Celine's website doesn't give you very many options or prices for that matter but we know what the deal is. A couple mortgage payments is all.

OR

A less expensive option is the Kenneth Cole version, same natural and black color blocking for 1% of the price

Nordstrom

I'll try to post more often, having a little more free time these days

LV or Gucci: Help a girl decide!

Hello and yes I have been seriously slacking on this blog. I really have to find more time to do what I love more than alot of other things, besides football.

Today I was helping to solve a dilema for one of my closest friends and a wonderful make up artist Niki Faces by Niki .

She asks for my opinion in deciding between two bags from two of the most sought after designers; Louis Vuitton and Gucci. The girl has great taste.

Here are the options:

Louis Vuitton Delightful MM at $ 1050.00

Gucci Sukey Tote at $850.00

I advised her to go with the LV and here is why. The LV is $200 more expensive, however it will only get more and more experience. In my opinion if you really like an LV bag focus on it and purchase it. The price will only go up and up and up.

Take for instance the ALMA. I purchased mine for $690 dollars a few years ago. It is now priced at $1250 dollars.  This Delightful is going to see a price hike.  For the reason why LV goes up see my old post The Devil Carries Fake Purses

Another reason, Gucci actually does go on sale.  After a season or two you sill see small discounts on lots of Gucci bags. Now this seems to be a classic bag and may not go on sale for a few years but it will happen and the price will never go up.  Focus on the Gucci at another time.

I hope this helps my dear friend and many others make their purse choices.

What are your thoughts?

Fashionphile: Well just lay me away!

A good fashion friend follower of mine (Hi Tiff!) brought this news to my attention. Fashionphile an online consignment shop that allows selling, buying and consignment of pre-owned luxury items, now has layaway.

Here is what their policy states as far as purchasing discounted prices on a layaway plan: layaway plan To summarize, when going to purchase you must choose the layaway option. The amount you will pay initially is 25% of the cost. From that point you will have 60 days to make as many payments as necessary to pay the full price of the item.

That seems fair to me. You don't want to be paying for something you want right away over months and months.

Check it out and let me know what you think...happy shopping!! BagLady

Spring Tote: Marc by Marc Jacobs

Aww this is too cute! and it made me think of The NFL Chick (www.thenflchick.com).  This cute and fun little number is available here for the LOW LOW..I almost thought that price was a typo!

Marc Jacobs Intl Yes that $$ is correct! Many colors to choose from as well.

ENJOY!!!

Be seen in GREEN: St. Patrick's Day Edition

For this St Paddy's day i decided to play up the green accessories instead of wearing green. Being out and about I kinda wish i would have been a MEAN GREEN MACHINE but there is always next year...here is a look at what I did...starting with the bag of course ;)

I got this bag years ago and it does not have a name sorry. No it like was a promotional gift from a department store..I get so many compliments on it, but I really cannot refer anyone to a particular spot to get it.  The inside is baby pink for all the AKA's out there :-)

Arm Candy! I picked this baby up for $5 in the gift shop at Providence Hospital.  Its a little bright for my taste but it fit in well for the occasion! 

Eye shadow. It doesn't look green but it is...well actually its called "Ocean". Calling it by its true name and not just green reminds me of my sister Kathy..there are no basic colors in her eyes.  Anyhoo...I'm trying to get better at the eye shadow and blending thing...those YouTube tutorials have been paying off. Now if I can just keep the eyeliner off my contact lenses I will be doing well.  

Sidebar:  THESE EARRINGS! My good friend coworker twin (We are both born on June 6!)  made these.  I got at least 3 compliments on them last night.  Soon this blog will debut her designs and how to purchase them.  For right now if you want something just leave a message in this blog and I will pass it along! She also makes bracelets and necklaces. Theses were $15 .  Super shiny and made my rather plane outfit look great.  

That's enough for now...more to come later..I have my eye on a few things :-)

Pre-Order this YSL wallet for me so I know that it's real!

YSL Patent Zip Wallet $475.00

How much do you think this bag costs?

Closest person to the right answer gets a cookie :-)


Hint: The Designer is name is 5 letters

Lodis Vegas Danny iPad Sleeve

First off shame on me for not blogging for 6 weeks.

But look what I found on sale for $68.00 at BLOOMINGDALES

The only draw back is..if you have an iPad using it without a skin on it is very difficult because it is slippery, and this is only a sleeve. So I would suggest keeping your skin on it and having the Sleeve just to be FLY :-)

Have fun with this!

How do yall feel about this?

Michael Kors Grays Large Satchel...

I mean I love a good top handle, but there is quite a bit going on here. Let's start with the signature all over the bag...maybe one big MK in the middle on the front would have been good. Also I would have made the handles silver metallic or gray leather. I know that I just redesigned this bag :)





Anyway let me know you thoughts :)


P.S. The Gold isnt that bad ;)

What you got there Beyonce?

Now RARELY does Beyonce catch my attention fashion wise...(whatever stans don't come for me). But this Burberry bag made me turn down Big K.R.I.T. playing on iTunes!

Of course you know I'd take that grandma strap off but give me the top handles baby!
