Jimmy Choo Zulu Clutch

A couple of weeks ago Vlad and I stopped by the Jimmy Choo store at the Bal Harbour Shops. I went into the store assuring myself that I would leave empty handed; I just wanted to look around. Well, I am a horrible looker, I always end up wanting a little something. While the shoes enticed, there were bags that surely caught my attention. Ramonas, Marin Clutches, and Mahalas.

Cameron Diaz Style: LAMB Cheetah Carlisle Clutch

cameron-diaz-lamb-clutch.jpg Cameron Diaz is always making headlines, but at many times lays low with her personal life. While we see pictures of her from time to time, typically they are of her leaving a restaurant, the gym, or surfing with her best friends in Hawaii. Last week Cameron was spotted leaving dinner carrying her LAMB Carlisle Clutch designed by Gwen Stefani. The Carlisle clutch is a staple for Stefani, as the bag doubles as a clutch or carried flat with handle. Gwen Stefani has become a hit in the fashion world with her LAMB line. Her bags are edgy and out-there, just as her own personal style is. Cameron Diaz wore the LAMB Cheetah Carlisle Clutch (which is currently cold out) which featured coated canvas with printed logo and cheetah pattern and is trimmed with grained leather. While the version Diaz wore is sold out, there is a multicolored version and original version at eLuxury for $425 each.

Holy Flaps!

69 Chanel Bags

Holy Flaps, Batman! L.A.-based forum member Regina07 means serious business. She manages to take her obsession for Chanel bags to a whole new level. In just one year’s worth of time, she’s acquired just about every Chanel Flap imaginable, sixty-nine to be precise. And the madness doesn’t stop here!

Obsessive-compulsive or helplessly devoted? You be the judge. Definitely the most exciting Chanel handbag collection I have ever laid my eyes on.

Louis Vuitton Watercolor Speedy

Louis Vuitton Watercolor Speedy First and foremost, much of the information on this new bag from Louis Vuitton is still not set-in-stone nor is anyone 100% sure of the truth behind it all. We have all heard conflicting stories, information, prices, release dates, etc. But you know a bag is a sure hit when the rumors begin (sick but true!). Richard Prince collaborated with Marc Jacobs to design artistic bags for the Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2008 line. The hottest item right now is the Louis Vuitton Watercolor Speedy which is said to be released in the US on May 1,2008. The release date has been changed numerous amounts of times. Another piece of information that everyone is uncertain of is the price. The early look book says the bag will be $1,185 but I have heard prices going up to $1,600. My wonderful SA at Bal Harbour did some research and believes it will be around $1,300. The next piece of information that has many confused is the size. While the Louis Vuitton Speedy is available in a size 30 and 35, this bag is said to only come in size 35. The monogram pattern is designed in a manner that has the orange, red, and yellow paints looking like they were painted on with watercolor paint. This bag has an incredibly long wait list at many stores and the masses are clamoring to get the next ‘big’ Speedy. The price is said to be around $1,300 via your local LV boutique when available. You can always check eLuxury also.
