Um, Salma…were they having a blowout sale at the Gucci store or something? The actress opted for not just a boho-chic Gucci peasant dress, but a monogram Gucci Indy purse with red leather trim as well. I’m on the fence here. I love me some Gucci, but I prefer to mix and watch my designer wares. I can’t help thinking the dress would work better with a petite clutch, and the handbag with a sleeker jeans-and-blazer duo. Am I wrong?
Eat your heart out, Guy. Madonna’s new campaign for Louis Vuitton proves that she’s not one to let a bitter divorce and a birth certificate that says she’s 50 bring her down. Shot by photographer Steven Meisel, the new ads show the Material Girl putting those yoga classes to good use while showing off two Louis Vuitton purses. I’m kind of into the exotic beading on the classic monogram style, but I have to save that the mustard-hued version with the oversized beads leaves me a little cold. What do you think?

The massive blowout at Saks wraps it up on December 7th. Remember the stores are offering an additional 50% off the already reduced price. Last week the site crashed for days, but somehow things were already wiped out when it came back up. There are those of us who bought way too much or bought bag unseen, so be on the lookout for returns galore. Still left at saks.com are a few great picks from Marc Jacobs collection and Yves Saint Laurent. And if shoes and handbags are too cleaned out for you, scour the contemporary apparel department for major savings on Thakoon, Etro, and Tory Burch.
In the event you missed the mad sales at Saks, there are still plenty of retailers vying for your hard earned cash. Barney’s 2nd markdown is coming soon, so get ready. Remember that barneys.com is notorious for canceling orders (I’ve had it happen TOO many times to remember!), so it’s best if you can get to a good ol’ brick-and-mortar store. Expect 60% off the original retail price, which is pretty good when you’re looking at Marc by Marc Jacobs and Kooba, and almost as appealing if you’re eyeing bags in the four digits (there are plenty of sale Givenchy bags to choose from). And besides handbags, there will be shoes and clothes galore, so check out those departments as well. Past Barneys sales have brought me James Perse dresses for $20 and Alisha Levine blouses for $30.
Peruse the sale section at barneys.com and get an idea of what you’ll be stalking before the sale kicks off (and when it finally does, we’ll be sure to tell you!): http://www.barneys.com/Womens/
Another stylish treat for every Bebe lover out there! It is so easy to fall in love with this gorgeous metallic. Not only it looks mighty fine and glamor with the tassel and rhinestone plague, but it’s also spacious enough for you to carry your fashion necessity.
Beautiful bag with sexy style, all for a good price of US$125.30!
I’m not sure if this is the sweetest or the corniest tote from Marc Jacobs. I guess it depends on how you see it. If you’re in a lovey dovey kinda mood, certainly this is the handbag you should be carrying. But if you’re in the bleh mode, then this is the last thing you’d want to get! Either way, I still think this US$1,895 piece is pretty unique.
Made of leather with goldtone hardware, love surely doesn’t come cheap!
Juicy Couture girls, you gotta check out this new ‘Daphne’ satchel and immediately add this into your collection. Sweetly designed with flower embroidery and bow detail with chain tassel, this US$195 beauty comes in Nardels (Pink), and Regal (Blue). So, if you’re looking for a stylish, adorable and absolutely girly bag, you just found yourself a winner!
