Naked Tote!

Skip the Chanel Naked Bag and try the Clear Tote for $26.80 from Forever 21. I love the bright yellow trim for summer and zip top for keeping those goodies on display safe. Stay organized and show off with a cute wallet and matching fun accessories on sale from Juicy Couture (this is perhaps not the best bag to house your high status LV Wapity).
Karl, Chanel feeling cheeky.

Oh, to have thighs that would look good in sequined hot pants. According to the BadFads Museum, before hot pants hit the scene in the 70’s, they were all the rage among European prostitutes. Of course only Karl could make the cheek-baring shorts chic. Only Karl could make me yearn for the legs to pair them with a white button down, cotton cardi or the perfect printed blazer. I have seen them in person as I packed up bags for a photo shoot at a certain high profile mag; and as scant as they seem on the runway, there isn’t much more to them in person. Just stretchy black sequins, barely enough to cover my buns. Oh Karl, you’re so cruel.

Marc Jacobs isn’t the only design house inspired by the classic Chanel quilted bag this season. If you’re sick of the Balenciaga motorcycle bag but still love the signature tassels, try the teal matelasse on sale 30% off. To get the look for less, the Diamond Quilted Tote in periwinkle blue is a hands free, PVC version of the Balenciaga lunchbox shape for $38.

Chanel Plagiarism Scandal?
Posted on June 4, 2007 at 10:13 am (PST) | Comments Off
If you loved the Chanel message bangles ($325 800-550-0005) seen on Paris and Nicole’s cover for Harper’s Bazaar, you’ll be outraged to find that the bangles may have been ripped off jewelry designer Jessica Kagan Cushman’s Scrimshaw Phrase Bangle. In an act that rivals Todd Goldman’s blatant plagiarisms, Chanel has taken Cushman’s uniquely hand etched bangles carved from 10,000 year old mammoth tusk frozen during the Ice Age and turned them into their watered down, Forever 21-quality knockoff counterpart. Cushman’s mammoth bangles are available in narrow ($595), medium ($795), and wide ($895) at Barneys. A more affordable resin version is available in ivory or black at Ravinstyle for $125.
