Makes me feel all summery (which I'm grateful for, since summer certainly isn't!). {8cab4df7-284a-5fe9-fba0-8b25d89a79ed} Mon, 25 Aug 2008 13:56:42 GMT http://www.thebaglady.tv/2008/08/botkier_sasha_l.html Not so long ago, I featured some metallic silver bags here on The Bag Lady and asked you which was your favourite. I thought the Chloe Maya would take away the big prize, but you ladies surprised me by picking the lesser-known but fabulously-hip Botkier Sasha duffle tote. {36df9de7-9d4c-3667-599b-f951f26bb67c} Mon, 25 Aug 2008 13:56:16 GMT http://www.thebaglady.tv/2008/08/shiny_styles_de.html Our US sister site Shiny Style is going ga-ga this week for... {52ce73c5-d6cf-5057-1694-c9496005f391} Mon, 25 Aug 2008 13:55:57 GMT http://www.whowhatwear.com/website/full_article.php?id=697 Oh Kelly Osborne, my how you’ve changed. It seems like just yesterday you were slumping around your parents’ home in LA, doing the sloppy punk thing, and now you’re quite polished and chic! Perhaps it was the relocation to London—certainly a more sophisticated town than Hollywood—or maybe the style progression can simply be attributed to growing up (shocking, we know), but one thing is clear: the girl looks good. {671b4a3f-d15f-8315-9efa-4ee737c5889c} Mon, 25 Aug 2008 13:55:28 GMT http://www.whowhatwear.com/website/full_article.php?id=696 The other day we were reminded of one of Coco Chanel’s finest quotes: “Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.” The lady had an excellent point, one we try to keep in mind whenever we’re feeling bored by our own outfits. {2ce5aee4-fee9-a5de-2847-a79386d6f039} Mon, 25 Aug 2008 13:54:53 GMT http://www.whowhatwear.com/website/full_article.php?id=694 The team of ladies featured in today's story combine to form a truly sensational edition of What Was She Wearing: Answers!

I love the vintage fabric peeping out aspect of Crystalyn Kae's bags and I also love the plaited wrist strap on this clutch . {877d6301-fdcb-9b46-9f0d-265afe021c53} Mon, 25 Aug 2008 13:51:28 GMT http://www.glamboulevard.com/2008/08/15/breeze-black-bluetooth-20-headset/ OK, I can not stress enough how cool is product is. It is luxury and technology mixed together in a glorious and beautiful relationship I have always imagined them having with the result being this two inch headset with genuine Swarovski crystals embedded in to its body of high-gloss black. The headset goes with all bluetooth enabled cellphones and allows up to a good five hours of battery time and 100 hours of standby time. Pretty cool, huh? {3ed98a28-a14e-5001-aad8-60d2ea9f9fb7} Mon, 25 Aug 2008 13:50:45 GMT http://www.glamboulevard.com/2008/08/15/cd-review-lea-maries-self-titled/ Pop music is in dire need of a pioneer of change. For the last five years or so, the majority of pop artists were either former contestants on Idol, actress-turned-singers, or Disney train wrecks-to-be. Every vapid socialite twit with her own reality show just one day decided to have a singing career. Lazy Myspace pages took the work out of having to find exposure. The closest we got to actual pop star ambition were spoiled teens who got a record deal only because they reminded every record exec in sight of who their famous daddy was (yes that was a jab at you, Lily Allen). Gone are the simple days of a regular girl with real heartfelt drive to be a star, no tricks or shortcuts, just hard work and determination. {7aeb6a8f-14e4-9379-a017-e29fdfe1bb7b} Mon, 25 Aug 2008 13:50:24 GMT http://www.glamboulevard.com/2008/08/15/keira-knightley-on-tatler-uk/ In September’s issue of Tatler we see the gorgeous Keira Knightley takes front cover in pink and no pout. The inside of the magazine also includes photos and Tatler’s full interview with the British actress. I think that celebrity photo shoots in magazines like Tatler have come a long way in portraying the celebrities in the best possible light, but sometimes, I really miss the professional models that would show up on magazine covers and really rock it. There are only a few celebrities that can pull off the frame of body and attitude to really draw your eye to the front page cover, but most can’t, and Knightley shouldn’t try so hard. Nevertheless, I can’t argue that she looks pretty. {64d7b760-2aaa-bd75-104f-e523e2f996e0} Mon, 25 Aug 2008 13:49:57 GMT http://www.glamboulevard.com/2008/08/15/jennifer-marsh-designs-first-gas-stations-covered-in-fabric/ After having discovered that there is more then 200,000 abandoned gas stations throughout America, artist and environmental activist Jennifer Marsh was inspired. Marsh decided that she could to bring attention to the world’s dependance on oil by turning one of the abandoned stations into a work of art. Aiming to make the world a more beautiful place, Marsh covered up an abandoned, deserted gas station in Syracuse NY with more then 3,000 pieces of fabric and turned it from waste to a large-scale installation art piece. With the help of 2,500 students from 29 states and artists from 15 countries around the world, Marsh was able to complete the decorative project using various types of fabric and approximately $28,000 of her own money. {3d76d183-f5a7-557b-ba25-12a7e2c2305e} Mon, 25 Aug 2008 13:48:57 GMT http://www.glamboulevard.com/2008/08/15/cool-bag-bill-amberg-labyrinth-bag/ The Labyrinth bag presents somewhat of a conundrum to shopping fans - it’s attractive, unusual and luxurious, all the things we want in our arm candy; yet, if we’re honest, it’s totally impractical for doing an actual good job as a bag. Look at it. Your car keys would fall straight through. Your (highly visible) wallet and mobile phone would scream ‘steal me!’ in tiny, shrill voices to every passing ne’er -do-well. Balled-up tissues and tampons (the secret residents of every girl’s best handbag), would have to be constantly evicted. In short, the Labyrinth is a nightmare in terms of real world usage. {89367b6d-aeae-9d37-5823-59cbc06da388} Mon, 25 Aug 2008 13:48:30 GMT http://www.glamboulevard.com/2008/08/14/gorgeous-designs-poltock-and-walsh/ The super-talented duo have seriously impressed me!

Well, this 'Bunny' necklace by Mark Poulin is kind of similar, but much cuter, I think. {eced7557-27b3-81d1-af58-5599d4e3d08e} Fri, 22 Aug 2008 00:40:25 GMT http://www.thebaglady.tv/2008/08/tanos_minilisa.html Tano bags come highly recommended by chick lit queen, Jennifer Weiner.

Willing to do anything to get your grubby mitts on it? Well, to be honest, in this case you don't have to do a whole lot - just cough up £1,125 big ones and book in for a bespoke shopping experience By Appointment at Harrods. {b6a2e570-f215-6213-5898-8fa16926d0e1} Fri, 22 Aug 2008 00:39:29 GMT http://www.thebaglady.tv/2008/08/the_very_chic_s.html USB drives shaped like tooth decaying treats/fruit/fast food are coming at us fast and furiously, but we still can't seem to get enough of them.

Not wanting to abandon the look of sunlit days entirely, but looking forward to the darkly romantic fashion of winter I’m stealing looks from folklore mermaids. Scantily clad in summer style but with a hint of siren-esque danger, I would envisage myself sea-swept through currents of sequins and silks in the manner of Carmen Kass in Numero’s June 08 issue. {a59643e-17a4-644c-913f-5050a1737448} Fri, 22 Aug 2008 00:36:26 GMT http://www.myfashionlife.com/archives/2008/08/12/skewed-inspiration-victoria-beckham%e2%80%99s-muse-is-david%e2%80%99s-baggy-jeans/ If David Beckham is the source of inspiration for Victoria Bekcham’s jeans collection for men, then I can see why Kitson, Victoria’s go-to boutique in Los Angeles, turned down the idea to carry the men’s line. Victoria confessed to DNR that her husband’s comfort and sensibilities were what she had in mind as she designed dVb’s men’s denim line. Gasp! {b14cd7eb-7848-3649-8396-5b8594455788} Fri, 22 Aug 2008 00:36:05 GMT http://www.myfashionlife.com/archives/2008/08/12/key-item-for-aw08-or-not-louis-vuitton-and-murakami-monogramouflage-collection/ With the men’s runways of Milan and Paris awash with a flurry of tote bags and many women looking to alter their springtime accessories for the expectant fall, I’ve been doing little digging around for some choice numbers for this fall. {59d9722d-47cc-cf8a-9263-fa2fdeefee6f} Fri, 22 Aug 2008 00:35:43 GMT http://www.myfashionlife.com/archives/2008/08/11/pussycat-kate-interview-magazine-gets-a-makeover/ Its all change over at Interview magazine.

Okay, we know this isn't exactly shocking information, but there are a couple of standout skirt styles that are must-buys for the season. We fell head over heels for two key shapes in particular: the trimly sophisticated pencil skirt (as seen at Lanvin and Michael Kors) and the short ‘n’ swingy full skirt (as seen at DKNY and BCBGMaxAzria). It's only a matter of time before the best-dressed celebs begin showcasing their different takes on these silhouettes, but until they do, you can check out today's episode of Who What Wear TV for all the pointers you need for wearing both versions! {892ef9dc-4e32-c0e1-1145-deb76a244513} Thu, 21 Aug 2008 00:02:27 GMT http://www.whowhatwear.com/website/full_article.php?id=695 At WhoWhatWear.com, we believe the ability to accessorize is an invaluable asset for any trendsetter to possess because the right embellishments can elevate even the plainest look. Accessories do so much of the heavy lifting in the style game; we can’t even image what our closets (and outfits) would be like sans our collection of vintage sunglasses, much-loved patterned silk scarves, and favorite interlocking belts! {937ea0c9-c422-389f-640b-d6e4df77b62a} Thu, 21 Aug 2008 00:01:11 GMT http://www.whowhatwear.com/website/full_article.php?id=691 We loathe this time of year, work-wise at least. It always feels like a) all the celebrities and trendsetters are vacationing in far flung (read: paparazzi free) locales, b) it’s so freaking hot outside, no one’s wearing fall clothes yet, and c) we’re totally tired of spring’s styles. Fortunately there are a few ladies who can pull us out of our doldrums and even manage to remind us why we love fashion. In this month’s Tips, Peaches Geldof, Nicole Richie, and Rachel Bilson save us from our summer blues and show us a few smart outfit ideas. {9b2a5e76-7ad1-9751-833b-5ddf9e3bbea1} Wed, 20 Aug 2008 23:59:58 GMT http://www.whowhatwear.com/website/full_article.php?id=692 Few things in life evoke the giddy pleasure we feel when perusing Alexander Wang's line or trying on his garments. Frankly, even the sound of his name sends our fashion-devoted hearts racing, so believe us when we say we're still elated about our personal encounter with the designer last fashion week. The reason for our enthusiasm is simple: Wang’s fall collection is exceptional. The pieces are a smart juxtaposition of masculine tailoring with sexy touches and the entire line will indubitably influence our wardrobes in the coming months. {b7039ae-9b09-4801-dc4f-5f34568d4158} Wed, 20 Aug 2008 23:59:28 GMT http://www.whowhatwear.com/website/full_article.php?id=690 As WhoWhatWear.com’s resident beauty devotee, I shoulder the task of sorting through the shows each season and figuring out what impact they’ll have on your makeup bags and morning routines. Obviously this is a pretty nifty responsibility and one that I enjoy tremendously. It’s not that I don’t enjoy the finer parts of fashion; I get just as worked up about Chloe’s Milton Hobo (gray for me, please) as the next girl. It’s just that I like the little pleasures of the beauty game: finding a polish color that catches my fancy (khaki-goldicon from Chanel), learning a new messy up-do (a French Twisted, if you will), or picking up a product that makes me wonder how I lived without it (Stila’s Cherry Crush). On that note, I’d like to cordially welcome you to my Fall Makeup Picks and hope you enjoy a few of my favorite looks from the runway! {d454aa90-cfc8-1a7c-8465-3c5f1151d54c} Wed, 20 Aug 2008 23:58:46 GMT http://www.whowhatwear.com/website/full_article.php?id=686 Typically, we’re not prone to conspiracy theories, but the recent blitz of boyfriend jeans made us stop and ponder a couple of things. First of all, why did such a vast range of celebrities start wearing this specific style all at the same time? Secondly, why did the seemingly perfect denim storm happen now, during the hottest time of year, when most people are reaching for their shorts? We’re not sure who the mastermind is behind all these rolled cuffs (spotlight hungry ankles, perhaps?), but one thing we do know is that this is a look we love. {c390773-866c-395-b693-3891f8b3da43} Wed, 20 Aug 2008 23:56:59 GMT http://www.thebaglady.tv/2008/08/handbag_hero_ma.html Imagine this: You're 22 years old and you're a multi-millionaire.

If you like this look, Luella is a good first place to turn. Otherwise, you can go the Forever 21 route, where they have a few similar styles for under $5.

Call us crazy, but it seems to inevitably result in two things: dramatic divorce and beautiful children with big personalities and amazing style, though not necessarily in that order. To feed our fascination with this phenomenon, we naturally keep tabs on Mick Jagger's offspring (all seven of them), in particular, the four kids he had with the stunning supermodel, Jerry Hall. Of those siblings, we’ve been most intrigued by the youngest girl and subject of today’s story—Georgia May Jagger. {e0efdb3e-76ce-9691-17b6-53e315dc10e2} Thu, 31 Jul 2008 00:26:11 GMT http://www.style.com/shopping/itemoftheweek/072108 Fall's first It footwear's Miu Miu's motorcycle boot's is fresh on store shelves.
