Is it just me, or does it seem like every other celebrity these days is carrying a Gerard Darel handbag? Angelina Jolie, Halle Berry, Jessica Alba just to name a few.

At first glance you wouldn’t see anything special in the style or construction of these big ‘carry alls’; you’d probably even think that it’s just a simple everyday bag that can add a punch of color( the colored versions are the most popular- but I love the brown bags) to your outfit while carrying a mass of stuff.

But, Oh there so much more, like the fact that they are French made – I don’t mean to sound snobbish, but they’re main showroom is right down the street from my apartment on Rue Reaumur and I always pass by starry eyed and all ( most wishing i had the super power to suck clothing through glass walls! …patehtic, I know, but so much fun!) – I have to post a pic of it later.

They’re using Charlotte Gainsbourg( daughter of French Singer/Icon Serge Gainsbourg) as their new model in their ads.

Here’s my round up of the blogs that will tickle your cute fashion fancies for the week of April 8 – April 14

StyleChile Nicole miller does Jc Penny! Who knew?

StyleIt – Has the scoop on Kimora Lee Simmons deal with Style Network television for a new reality series.

Thrift Eye – Just like I’ve been saying all along “wear more color”.

High Fashion Girl – I like to donate and if you are a sensible fashinonata too, check our her list of worthy causes.

Teen Fashionista – Talks about vera wang’s new label; Lavander.

The Cheap Chica has got you covered with Star style under $150: Kelly Rowland

Like.com lets you select a celebrity, anybody( guy or girl), whose style you like, I choose Alicia Keys and a pair of red gloves she wore at the New York fashion week.

1. they produce a couple images of Alicia Keys in different outfits
2. highlighting certain products such as items of clothing, jewelry and shoes they might be wearing
3. then you can click on these highlighted areas
4. and a page leads you to literally a plethora of choices of that same product.

Variations by price, shape, colors, and places to buy, but all are essentially the same style that you saw and liked on your fav star. Cool eh?

Play around with it at Like.com

BTW…this really makes me question myself about the whole idea of individuality. If every one can really now dress like everyone else, will we succumb and do it, or will we take bits and pieces and make it our own? Will we cease to be individuals?

The good folks at Calypso are having a Blowout Sale! Yippeee!
Now we can go grab some flirty dresses, skinny jeans even sheets for the price of a good meal in manhattan.

Not bad eh? We’ll starve for a day so we can fit into our super sexy Siwy skinny jeans, which were $200, now $75. Wot!

Love – Jahaute!

I love Swiss designers, they have an unpredictable take on everything, and these days I’ve been finding many young emerging designers from there, like Nicole and her line of pretty girly t-shirts embossed with witty dirty sayings called Lochers.

Like the two below that says, “I love Porn” and the other “I really need some fucking coffee”. They all had me giggling, even though I’m not sure I’d wear one, yet, but maybe you would.

These t-shirts are bold enough to make every rebellious high schooler, co-ed and urban chica run to the mall to cop one, but for now I think you can only get them online at here
Even the site is a little bit “sweet & sour”. Check it out.
