Celebrity Style and Fashion (Page 32)

It truly is a hard knock life for an A-list celeb. Have the perfect derriere and nab yourself the perfect new season handbag. This makes life a tad easy for the likes of Jessica Biel, who of course has the perfect derriere and a stunning Silver Prada Gauffre. Seems like Prada and Miu Miu think that having a celeb seen with their bag will up sales. Nah, we all only care for our own sense of style and never read trashy magazines and never ever want to nab a celeb’s style. Just when will Prada and Miu Miu realize that I am an A-lister (and Vlad wants a man bag while they are at it!)

PRADA’S LADIES: It is commonplace for fashion houses to e-mail red-carpet photos of celebrities, but Prada and Miu Miu have taken things a step further — they send out paparazzi shots of starlets like Kiera Knightley and Jessica Biel carrying their bags. Last month, Prada sent e-mail blasts featuring the actresses carrying its directional metallic handbags while strolling down a London street and arriving at Los Angeles Airport, respectively. In describing Biel’s silver Gauffre bag, the release stated, “This is one of the most important bags from the Prada spring/summer 2007 collection and it retails for $2,835.” One of Biel’s stylists, Estee Stanley, said she was unaware Prada sent out paparazzi photos, and that Biel chose the bag without her help. But of her client’s impeccable airport ensemble, she added, “She’s the hottest girl ever.” But it appears the “It” girl strategy is working: Miu Miu hosted a slew of lovelies at its Paris show Sunday, including Claire Danes, Milla Jovovich, Charlotte Casiraghi, Tatiana Santo Domingo, Ludivine Sagnier, Scout Delarue and Mamie Gummer.

One of few females that can rock red lipstick so amazingly well, Christina Aguilera was seen leaving chic Hyde rockin’ out her edgy and bold look. Christina and I should definitely hang out sometime, have a little girl talk, and then she can show me her makeup routine. If I applied the colors and amounts she does, I’d look like a clown. Always adding the perfect accessorizing touch, Christina sported the Fendi Canvas B Bag. Her rendition is the natural canvas and what looks to be dark suede trim. Stunning number on a stunning lady. Check out many other versions of the Fendi B Bag’s at NAP.

After a dude breaks up with me, I begin the post-breakup binge eating. Chocolate, cookies, brownies, ice cream, carbs, and any other comfort food. Surely I look nothing like Cameron Diaz does post Justin Timberlake breakup. An oddly jovial Diaz has been snapped on her way into and out of a work out regime that gets her body looking like it does. Chizzled abs, toned arms, about 2% body fat in all the right places, Diaz is taking a stance to shove it in JT’s face. Too bad JT is getting on every single (and not so single) gal out there with equally great assets. For early Friday fun, can you name either of the bags Cameron Diaz is carrying? The yellow work out bag may be harder to ID, but how about the chic black messenger. Happy Friday all, Name that Bag!

To make life fair, I must now post a picture of Jessica Simpson and talk about her handbag style since I did about her sister (ok that is not how the world works typically). But I could not pass up this gorgeous green clutch that Miss Jessica has been seen sporting around the world with. Jessica Simpson’s Christian Louboutin Satin Evening Bag manifests its beauty and grace in a delightful color that stands out perfectly with her new chocolaty brown locks. One of the hit colors for spring, this emerald green satin clutch features a feminine bow detail and a fold over closure. Thumbs up Jessica!

What a cute little enhanced by plastic surgery nose behind the hat! Ashlee Simpson continues to sport her new look, which completely resembles her big sis Jessica, but I must admit her choice in handbags is impeccable. Ashlee Simpson’s style has transformed over the years and her handbag style has completely matured into classy designer bags. Take the hot and new to the scene line by Badgley Mischka. Ashlee has taken a keen liking to the Lolita, which is also being carried by her sister. The Badgley Mischka Lolita Handbag intricately intertwines buttery soft leather along with soft and shiny python. While Ashlee sports the brown version, there is also a creamy and sultry ivory version which has an inner zip pocket and tassle detailing. Fitting in perfectly with the big bag trend, the bag measures 16 1/2″ w X 12″ L X 6″ deep. I have both good news and bad news. The bad news is this bag is out of stock at the moment, but the good news is that Badgley Mischka handbags are being carried at Lux Couture. Lux Couture is an amazing e-boutique which boasts impeccable customer service and carries an amazing array of bags. Check out the bag via Lux Couture to see if it is back in stock ($1045).

Everyone is on the environmental train lately, which I am loving. Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth” made its way to the masses, hybrid car sales are on the rise, organic food and clothing is catching on, and now handbags are making an environmental statement. Keira Knightly may be laying off the meat, cheese, and carbs, but is also laying off leather bags by sporting the Anya Hindmarch “I’m not a plastic bag” tote from the environmental line of handbags. This tote bag is merely made of cotton and merely costs a scanty £5.00, but you better believe it is on eBay going for as much as $150 USD. Tell me how that makes sense! I suppose it is the story of supply an demand, and who will argue that a bag for the environmental cause is on high demand. Keep checking Anya Hindmarch for updates on the “I’m not a plastic Bag”.

Thanks to cheapthrills for posting the thread!

Sure Courtney Love has an image that is a bit dodgy from rehab stints to a bit of a fashion disaster to public intoxication to wearing blue eye shadow as if it really is cool, but now she is under Crazy Karl’s radar. Seems that while attending Paris Hilton’s birthday party in Vegas this past weekend, Courtney showed up in a Chanel No. 20 fake from the Spring-Summer 2007 show. Gasp! I’d love to see Karl vs Courtney in Celebrity Deathmatch.

Karl Lagerfeld is said to be furious with Courtney Love reports WWD

According to fashion gossips, while scrolling through party photos on the Internet, Chanel officials spotted Courtney Love at Paris Hilton’s birthday party in Los Angeles on Saturday wearing a bib-front dress resembling the house’s look No. 20 from the January Spring-Summer 2007 couture show and styled in a similar way, right down to the fluffy, fingerless gloves writes WWD

Chanel is concerned clients might mistake the fake for the real thing. A spokeswoman said Chanel was investigating the matter before deciding what action, if any, it will take..

“It was one of many dresses sent to her by stylists and publicists to wear. It did not have a label in it,” her rep, Alan Nierob, told Page Six. “We haven’t figured out yet which stylist and/or publicist sent that particular dress.”
