Celebrity Style

Non-conformist, hardcore rocker Avril Lavigne spotted toting a Chanel bag… what’s this world come to? It does look good on her though.

Well we here at the Purse Blog have decided that this week will be our first ever Celebrities Week. We will have at least one post a day devoted to our fav celebs! So let us know who you all would like to see and we will work on it! Let the week of the Celebs begin!

Where do we begin? Ok Lindsay Lohan… you are not a blond, it is ok to eat, it is also ok to smile, and what on earth is that smirk for? I do like the extra flare she added to the bag, and I must admit at least the bag doesn’t look like an oversized suitcase on her arm. But there is something about that look on her face that makes me not like the rest of whats going on in that picture.

Ah, Jessica Simpson. I usually love how you carry yourself and your ginormous collection of handbags. Let’s blame this on the photographer, shall we? Because face it little miss daisy, you aren’t looking too sweet right here. The bag looks like you could hop inside of it youself, like you’re sweet little puppy Daisy does into her Louis Vuitton carry case, and then you could let your overly large body guard behind you tote you around in it.

But it is a toss up between which girl looks better (in these pictures) carrying the Marc Jacobs Scarlet Bag in Electric Blue. It is up to you folks, so let us know what you think!

Good morning America, rise and shine! I wish you all a wonderful, absolutely splendid day, with lots of luck, love and all that jazz. For today, I’ll be covering what the hardcore fashionistas among you certainly know, but the lesser knowledgable handbag lovers still will appreciate. And with a little cherry on top, our fave fashion trend setter, Ms Hitlon herself will sport this bag creation, drawing even more attention to herself and the bag. You gotta give her that, she does what she does best, stand in the spotlight and just be. There is not a whole lot more that her repertoire allows her to do, and even upcoming lousy movies won’t add much to the stock. Sorry Paris, nice try. Just please stand around like a stuffed pretty doll (disclaimer: I don’t even consider her as a good looking woman) and blow your daddy’s dough on parties, drugs and booze.

The bags in focus for today are the Cuffz by Linz line of bags. You guys may or may not remember the Peacekeeper handbag we featured a while back – this handcuff creation ranks right up there in terms of novelty. The bags are made of lambskin and cowhides and individually cut and assembled by hand in L.A., California. The handcuffs are nickel-plated steel cop-grade and fully functional. The cuff key is attached to the zipper, you have it with you at all times and it keep the bag fully functional, without the hassles of locking you bag to your wrist and misplacing the key. That is right ladies, no more wild party nights out and getting so hammered that you forget your bag in the ladies’ room! I am not kidding, this was the exact inspiration of designer Linz Shelton when she designed this bag. Exploring the chic London club scene, she quickly realized that it was somewhat of a challenge to keep total control of a full drink and a fashionable clutch on crowded premises. Thus the idea to incorporate handcuffs into an evening bag. Brilliant!

Among celebs like Cameron Diaz, Courtney Love, Pam Anderson, Britney Murphy, Kelly Hu, Mischa Barton, our very own Paris Hilton was spotted multiple times sporting Cuffz bags by Linz. If you click on More…, I’ve included a few snapshots of Paris wearing several shades of Cuffz. The smaller Cuffz Barfly Handbag goes for about 145 bucks, and is available in many colors (many metallic, too) through several online vendors, such as Regencies, About Attitude or Chic Icon.

These bags are a guaranteed ice breaker when you are trying to start a convo with a gorgeous man, and who knows, perhaps you might even end up cuffin’ him to your wrist later, too.

“I’ll let you have that one” Megs told me yesterday, when she stumbled upon this capture of Ms Hotel Heiress Hilton. Oh gladly.

You see, I hate her fu**in’ guts. However, whether it’d be her intellectual level of an underdeveloped baboon infant, her distinctive chin line, her stiff & striking papparazzi pose, her periodic outcries of media attention whoring, or scandalous, yet amusingly explicit DVD materials in diffused light — Paris is always good for a bash. I get the feeling today will be dedicated to the older Hilton sis, just because she deserves it.
Regarding the picture above, there is one question unanswered. Paris, what were you thinking? You are not supposed to hang freshly slaughtered wildlife off your shoulder, silly!

I know we have an unhealthy obsession with Lindsay Lohan and her recent press coverage she’s been getting. I just can’t help myself but laugh at her claims of being in perfect health and a normal eater. I would like for you to click on the image above and tell me if you’d support her claim. Keep in mind that the before images picture her before the start of shooting her new Herbie movie, while the latter are from last week’s Mr & Mrs Smith premiere.

She’s sure got a good taste with her Powerbook, but evidentally not for food. She should really lay off the coke and check herself into rehab. But who am I to judge her. Just a word of advice:

Kids, don’t try this at home!

Someone tell these rich, overrated and spoiled slu*s that too much meth and coke are bad, mkay?

I can’t help but be a celeb style follower. I love to see what they are wearing and what is in style according to Hollywood. My Newlywed friend, who I hate to love, can’t get enough of the Large Gucci Horsebit Hobo. Jessica Simpson is the girl that many look up to for style (let’s hope not smarts) who is never seen wearing anything but the trendiest and best bags. Now she even is as privileged to be wearing a different color every other day. I know I don’t have that luxury, although I would love to, but I’m not making commercials about Pizza Hut’s Buffalo Chicken Pizza either (yea, like that takes a lot of brains?!) Back to the Gucci. Mrs. Newlywed herself has been seen sporting the Gucci Horsebit Hobo in Pink [pic] and also tabacco colored lambskin [pic] and black lambskin [pic].

The Large Horsebit Hobo is part of the Gucci Spring/Summer 2005 cruise line of handbags. On the website there is a variety of colors and fabric material offered, but the pink that Jessica has been sporting is no where to be found. The bag ranges from $980 to $25,000. Wait, wait… is that the right number of zeros? Umm yes. The Gucci Mahogany Crocodile Large Horsebit Hobo with light gold hardware can be yours for the price of a new car. The worst part is, there are actually real people who can afford that. Sigh. It is a large hobo style with horsebit detail strap and inside zip pocket. The large bag is about 18.8 x 4.8 x 15 inches, which is a pretty decent size, if you ask me. The black leather is about $1,290, which is still a hefty price to pay, but no where near $25,000.

About a month ago we reported about the Michael Michael Kors Large Satchel, and Kate Bosworth recently proved the significance of the luxe handbag among Hollywood celebs. Cute bag, but somehow Kate seems to be missing out on what millions of other Americans are passionately devoted to (aside from handbags, of course)… food. Maybe a few more calories a day would make her and her cute bag harmonize a little more, instead of looking like an underfed, disease-ridden anorexic.

Ouch, did I just say that?
