Gucci for Children

 This came to my inbox the other day and I  had to check it out.  If my kids names were Suri, Honor or Pax I just might be tempted to buy all this up. It is so freaking cute.  Could you imagine seeing a 5 year old rocking a Gucci purse?  Maybe someone will do a cute knock off.  To see the whole collection visit www.Gucci.com

Holy Hermes! World's priciest purse sold for $203,000

You know I am totally all over this. Hermes is my fantasy dream brand (maybe my husband is going to surprise me for Christmas)....but WOW!  REALLY!?!?!?

I thought I would write my own blog post on this but the one written by Justin Fenner for Styleite just summed it up all too well...Check this out...

Holy Hermes! World's priciest purse sold for $203,000

The record-setting bag was sold to an anonymous collector.

By Justin Fenner, Styleite

Clearly not everyone in America is still feeling the strain of the recession. Early this week someone very, very wealthy bought a handbag for over $200,000 at an auction in Dallas, breaking the world record for the highest amount of money ever bid on a purse.

While the person who bought the handbag chose to remain anonymous, the bag itself is known all over the world. The pricey purse was an Hermes Birkin, easily one of the most iconic and expensive handbags ever made.Women’s Wear Daily reports the record-breaking model was made from shiny deep red crocodile skin and accented with 18K white gold and diamond hardware, and sold for exactly $203,150. Who needs a nice, solid, single family home when you’ve got style like that?

Hermes made the first Birkin bag for actress Jane Birkin in 1984, and since then it’s become an almost legendary piece of fashion history. Until April 2010, the bags were produced in such limited quantities that women who wanted them had to sign up for a wait list — and some of them waited for as long as six years before they were invited to make an actual purchase. The bags come in four sizes, all of which are lined with goatskin, and prices can vary wildly depending on the materials used on the exterior. But chances are, even the plainest of Birkins won’t sell for less than $8,000 to $10,000.

But even though the bags are expensive to begin with, this one took the cake. Even the auctioneers were surprised that the bag went for that much, saying “this was certainly an exceptional price, exceeding our highest expectations at every corner.”

If by “highest expectations” they meant “the boundaries of common sense and restraint,” then they’re absolutely right.

Versace has done a whole collection for H&M. It debuts November 17th!

I guess we will will see.

Fall Must Haves 1: Animal Print Handbags

Loving all the animal prints out this fall.  A great way to incorporate this trend is a handbag.  You get the feel of the trend without over doing it. You don't have to spend thousands of dollars for this either...

Here are a couple of my favorites right now.

Fall 2011 Must Haves: Sequin Blazer

I was in San Fran this weekend visiting my best friend from college and had a little time to do some shopping. I had a chance to compile my 5 "must haves" for my fall wardrobe and wanted to share.  My top pick is definitely a Sequined Blazer.  I think all of these would look great with a pair of black tuxedo pants or even a pair of jeans.  My favorite one is by Zadig & Voltaire!

Do you have a must have for the fall...Love to know what it is ;)
