1. Be&D Genesis

We saw the Be&D Garbo back in the day, now give way to the Be&D Genesis bags all over New York Fashion Week. Drama Fashion blogger Bryan Boy had one and so did Olivia Palermo.
Things to know about Be&D – They now make shoes!

2. Chloe  Marcie Handbag

Rachel Bilson has been strutting  around to casting calls in  LA with her new BFB – BEST FAB BAG – the Marcie by Chloe.

3. Mulberry Alexa Handbag

The Mulberry Sachtle has been made famous by MTV VJ Alexa Chung, for goodness sake she has shoes and now bags named after her. I tihnk the thing we love most about Alexa is that she wear what she likes and makes her comfortable and that shines through as being real and confident – even if its a vintage $10 dress with a $1000 handbag.

4. Rebeca Minkof  Morning After Handbag

Rebeca Minkof has a knack for embellishing bags that makes a statement to any ordinary pair of jeans and t-shirt outfit. No wonder she’s a steady staple to the jet setting stars that carry her purses – but with prices that normal folks like you and I can afford.

5. Alexander Wang Coco Handbag

Now if theres ever a bag thats flying off the shelves this spring/summer its the COCO – the ultimate cool bag for 2010. So hot that people are searching hard to buy even the fake Alexander Wang!  Rihanna , Mary Kate, Ashlye Tisdale  are just some of the people who’ve been spotted….the Coco has an hard rock and roll edge that many can get with for an everyday bag.

Whats your favorite it bag for 2010, is it one thats not on the list?

So once in a while I get some pretty good comments on this blog, and I – being the nosey person I am have to click through to thecommenter personal site and snoop around. who is this person anyways – that pretty much standard blog world procedure. If it wasn’t before, now it is, because I said so.

Well let me introduce you to the site Annie Spandex, one of the best Internet shopping finds I’ve come across since…well, damn I don’t know since when. Her stock of clothes, shoes and random other stuff from Haute names like Balenciaga and Chloe will have you giddy at checkout because they are soooooo, eh em(clearing throat), in-ex-pen-sive!*
Look at this See by Chloe dress for around $73.63!!!

* you know i’m moving away from the word CHEAP, because it sounds so cheap. Here you get value at a sensible price, can’t beat that!

Now Showing: Another episode of “Knock-off Jungle”

Chloé Leather shoe boots have long been on my list of funky-but-kinda- weird-cute shoes, somedays i’m in love with it other days i think it hideous. Partly because usually every other white leather shoes just look plain cheap, but these are just, well you know, toocute!

Forever21 has wasted no time in copying what they think are going to be hottest hit “must have” items on the list of fashionistas all over. Oh what they’ve cooked up this time was too good not to highlight. check it out.

I still would rather get the Chloe, which by the way has just gone on sale at net-a-porter. But then again maybe not, cause now the fun is spoiled if everybody and their mama is walking around in a pair of wanna be Chloe’s. I mean apart of the appeal was their uniqueness. Anyways, I’m awaiting Forever21 next episode in Knockoff Jungle. Which should be premiering again pretty soon( as in right after the next fashion week).

Mod-ified [Trend Watch, Mod Dresses]

Category : How to Wear...

Tags: , , , , , , , , , ,

Dresses are all over the place, tiny cute little baby doll, Mod inspired dresses that hit above the knee that Eddie would have worn back in her day and that Sienna and Mischa now rock.

Kate Husdon wore her Chanel dress with black leggings and pumps out on the town recently.
Another way to wear these baby doll dresses are over jeans/denim that are tapered or pencil
to give a more elongated look to the legs.

They’re cute if you have long legs and all, because those are about the only things they accentuate. Honestly, they’re pretty much shapeless. So stay away if your a lil round, or curvy they could make you look like a potato.

However, if you’re sexy legs are here for the showing, here are some picks on and off the runway.

On the Runway:

1. Chanel 2. Chloe 3. DVF 4. Miu Miu

Seen on:

1. I love Piper Perabo’s dress the best, the color adds a big punch, no need for accessories or jewelry, just a pretty smile.

2. Sienna Miller is always standing pretty, in her A-line dresses.

3. Mischa Barton has been seen all over in Mod dresses, day and night, here she dresses down her eyelet dress with some funky hippie boots and a multi-color jacket.

4. Hillary Duff wears a sparkling black sequined dress, lightly accentuated with bangles.

Right now I’m on the hunt to find some retailers with cute dresses to collage in my next post. More later (wink)
Love – Jahaute!
