Karl Lagerfeld is a fashion guru, a mastermind and creative genius in his own right. I can not imagine what sort of thoughts go through his head. To sit down with Karl Lagerfeld would be a dream come true for most. What has the internet buzzing recently is a handbag Karl Lagerfeld has been seen sporting and it is far from Chanel. Karl Lagerfeld has been spotted carrying a canvas Karl Who? Bag which is designed by Naco Paris. Fun fact, Naco Paris won a court case against Chanel over the use of the Chanel logo. One minute they are in court together and the next Karl Lagerfeld is wearing a Naco Paris design and not vice versa.

The Karl Who? Bag will be arriving at Colette and is available now through Arty Dandy for 49€

Every week we will bring you some of our favorite links from our sister site, Bag That Style, where celebrity handbag style is dished. This week on Bag That Style:

There are many reasons that I am thrilled to be writing this post. First off, I absolutely adore this Kooba bag, as many of the newer Kooba bags are amazing. Second of all, Lindsay Price is one of my favorite actresses. From her stint on Lipstick Jungle, a show that is no longer running but I loved, I fell in love with Lindsay Price. She is beautiful in a cute way, you know what I mean? And now she is dating Josh Radnor, one of the stars of How I Met Your Mother, one of the best shows that has ever aired on TV. Vlad and I are obsessed. That show is beyond words of amazement. Really, you should pick it up. Lindsay guest starred on one episode as Ted’s (Josh Radnor’s) girlfriend. She was perfectly annoying on the show but it seems the duo hit it off.

So let me bring this all back together. I love Kooba and I love Lindsay Price. When paired together, it is the perfect combination. Lindsay Price continues to be spotted around NYC with her Kooba Dale bag in both python and black leather. The shape of this bag is very similar to the Kooba Blake, which has been a huge success for the brand. The Dale implements cool buckled straps on the hobo shape which is available in leather or a python stamped leather. Lindsay Price loves both as do we. I would love to see the python version in person, but the black is amazing and there are other great color options. This bag officially is on our radar. Buy the Kooba Dale in python for $895 at Singer22 and the Kooba Dale in Black leather for $645 via Bloomingdales.

Today has started out as an early one. Have you ever woken up waaaay early and found that you couldn’t fall back asleep? Well, that was me this morning. I woke up, rolled over, gasped at the time, tried to fall back asleep and couldn’t. As I laid in bed, I did a little day (or perhaps you could say early morning) dreaming. For whatever reason, I pictured myself in a convertible driving along the coast. Top down, wind in my hair, awesome sunglasses, blaring the songs of one of my favorite bands - Postal Service, and of course an amazing bag next to me holding everything I might need for my coastal drive. So clearly, my next thought was, what bag would I carry along with me?

Without much thought, the perfect bag came to mind, the Dylan Folding Tote. This is the same bag Hilary Duff has been sporting all over the place lately, and I can see why. The bag is gorgeous. I love waiting to see how the Dylan transforms itself. Over the past few season, we’ve seen different versions, but one thing remained the same, Dylan is an instant hit. The Linea Pelle Dylan Folding Tote is no exception. With so many colors to choose from, I don’t know if one would be enough. Choose from washed italian leather in black, coconut (creamy white), cognac (reddish brown) and persimmon (orange). This bag is says casual and chic all at once. It’s sure to be a huge hit. Would you pick this for your costal drive? Buy through Linea Pelle for $775.

PS - You like what you see? Keep coming back throughout the month because there are still two more Linea Pelle bags we are giving away and this could be one!

Based on the activity on the Forum, it seems like our readers are very, very interested in trying to identify what celebrities are wearing, both in real life and in movies. In general, there’s more interest in female celebs, but when we got these great pictures of Clive Owen in the new movie Duplicity, I thought that this was something you ladies would like to see. Or at least something I wanted to spend some time looking at and thinking about. Ahem.

I knew this bag was going to be a big hit. Totally knew it from the moment I saw it. And all of you seemed to agree, that you positively loved the new metallic slouchy bag from DvF. While I covered the medium DvF Stephanie Bag previously, the version Beyonce was spotted carrying is the large gold metallic DvF Stephanie Bag. And the Purse Blog team made sure to go out and buy the bag before it sold out completely! What I absolutely adore about this bag is that it truly is different from any other bag in my closet. It is totally oversized, really huge actually, and slouchy, and can hang low on your body (though you can adjust the shoulder straps to wear it different ways). Really, what is not to love about this bag? Spacious, comfortable, relevant, and a little metallic gleam. I know we love it, and while we wait for Vlad to shoot it we are graciously contemplating who will wear it first. I got first dibs! And while the bag is out of stock online, check out your nearest DvF boutique. We lucked out at DvF Bal Harbour (305.865.1850).

UPDATE: ShopBop currently has the DvF Stephanie in stock: $995 via ShopBop. More pictures below...

Yes, I’ve said it before, I love celebrity gossip. It really is a guilty pleasure of mine. I don’t know why, but as soon as I open a celeb infused magazine or type in a celeb heavy site, I am fixated. It’s not that I am trying to emulate one celebrity or another, but I love to see where they go, what they wear and who they are hanging out with. I can’t help it. And to be honest, I know many of you sitting there reading this feel the same way. Whether you openly admit it or feel some sort of shame admitting it, so many of us love celeb gossip! Today I came across some very interesting images of Sienna Miller. Many view her as a fashion icon or at least someone who keeps up, if not sets, trends. She could be in rainy London, sunny LA, or fast-paced NYC and she is always photographed and her clothes almost always commented on. Today is nothing different. A red cape? Really, Sienna? I realize she is in London, and it is probably frigid, but the Little-Red-Riding-Hood-look makes me go “hmmmm”. I can’t decide if it is fashionable or a fashion faux-pas.

I think I’ve now just about seen it all. Heidi Montag was recently photographed with a new huge Chanel shopping bag, which really comes as no surprise or shock. What did and continues to shock me - her fresh Chanel manicure. Why? Why? Why? Sure, I took a few marketing classes during my college years, and I totally get brand marketing and brand loyalty, but don’t you think this takes it just a step too far? If you are anything like me, one of your guilty pleasures might be following celeb gossip and the reality shows some of them may appeared on. And most of us, whether we admit it or not, have seen The Hills and are of course familiar with Heidi and Spencer.

Just after their alleged marriage, Heidi and Spencer are continuously photographed in a way that makes any reader think they are looking to make a buck. Hey, if you are able to put up with the paparazzi mob following you around and snapping flattering/not so flattering/embarrassing pictures of you with every move you make, well, then, more power to you. However, I am starting to wonder if this is going a tad too far. Heidi, we know you have loads of money to spend. But a Chanel manicure, is that really necessary? Although I imagine the folks over at Chanel shaking their heads in disbelief, I have a question. Do you think this kind of situation helps or hurts the oh so classic and lusted after brand? Discuss!

It seems Jessica Simpson was not a lucky charm for Tony Romo’s football season. We follow college football much more than pro football, but at the end of the season Tony Romo looked awful. Jessica Simpson found herself in love with a Cowboy and transitioning to the country music scene. Long gone are her days of all dolled up mini skirts and pop music and in are her days of country music and flannel shirts. Just the girl next door in jeans and an oversized green wrap, Jessica Simpson was spotted at Dallas/Fort Worth airport with her Gucci Hysteria Python Tote and Louis Vuitton Dog Carrier.
