When I was thinking of the next person we would highlight in our Many Bags series,Louis Vuitton Shoes, I realized the gorgeous Diane Kruger would be perfect. But then again,Louis Vuitton Sunglasses, this post could easily be called The Many Chanel Bags of Diane Kruger,Louis Vuitton Shoes, because this leading lady is quite the Chanel aficionado. That isn’t surprising, as the German born actress has been featured in Chanel advertisements. On top of that, she is one of Karl Lagerfeld’s favorite ladies and is constantly seen head-to-toe in Chanel standing next to her good friend Karl himself. The blonde-haired beauty has been in a relationship with Joshua Jackson (who I only associate with Dawson’s Creek to this day) since 2006, and Kruger is spotted with him almost constantly, whether they’re at events or just doing normal couple stuff. Her style can be described as prim and proper for the most part, but when she dresses down she epitomizes casual chic. Other than Chanel bags,Louis Vuitton Handbags, Diane is clearly a major fan of designer brands and has carried some of the most beautiful accessories over her years in the spotlight. Come to think of it, she might have the most enviable closet of all the celebrities we talk about.

Although last night’s episode of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills wasn’t particularly entertaining in the way that we often hope Real Housewives will be entertaining – explosive fights, table-flipping,Louis Vuitton Shoes, all that good/awful stuff – but it did have its own sort of charms, even if they were mostly mired in the absurdity of the show’s details and the cast themselves. Either that, or I’ve got Real Housewives Stockholm Syndrome something fierce, a possibility which I have yet to entirely rule out. At any rate, it’s time for a recap of the episode’s best moments.1. For some reason, I thought we left Paris last week. That impression was apparently not based on objective reality. This is Real Housewives, so maybe my subconscious was just getting into the mood of the show.2. Continuing the Parisian gift-giving, Yolanda bought Brandi shoes. Yolanda would probably be a pretty fun friend to have, even if she made you drink the spicy lemonade with her every now and then. Let’s be real, I would probably be willing to trade some spicy lemonade consumption for shoes. Everyone has their price, and mine is fairly low.3. How many aliases does Mauricio have? Kyle calls him Mauricio, Kim usually calls him Maurice and sometimes Morris, although maybe she means Maurice but just fails to annunciate. During their post-trip conversation about listing her late father-in-law’s (absolutely baller) house for sale, Marina or whatever that woman’s name is also called him Maurice. What’s his name? Should we call him Maury just to find the common syllabic denominator? 4. LISA’S VIEW. I got nothin’. Nothin’ but jealousy, and also some arrogance,louis vuitton outlet, because I’ve once again been proved right in my assertion that this show would be more entertaining if it were just a tour of things that Lisa owns every week. Real talk, I’d take a tour of her cutlery drawer.5. I couldn’t do a photo shoot like the one Yolanda did with her husband. I get the vicariously-embarrassed church giggles just looking at people’s engagement photos on Facebook, so watching a middle-aged couple in repose on a set of stairs was a bit too much for me. I’m sure a therapist would have something to say to me about that, which is why I don’t go to therapy.6. Kyle wants to fill her boutique with cheap-looking printed caftans. Not that I have anything against a caftan (because for real, I love a caftan moment), but Kyle’s taste in them tends to run toward the off-brand Roberto Cavalli wannabes that appear to be made out of highly flammable fabrics. In pursuit of those caftans, she turned down a super modern colorblocked tunic and a good tuxedo dress. Admittedly, anyone trying to get the “Kyle” look probably doesn’t want those things, but would instead prefer a selection of palazzo-leg jumpsuits to peruse at their leisure. 7. The Return of Dana-Pam. Apparently Dana-Pam isn’t engaged anymore, but she’s replaced the love of her former fiance with the love of vodka. (Close your eyes and they feel sorta similar, I promise. Also, closing your eyes helps the room to stop spinning.) She was still trying way too hard to seem funny and carefree, but at least she didn’t mention the price of anything that she had on her person this time around (although that might have simply been a function of not having anything new to talk about). By the end of her conversation with Taylor,Louis Vuitton Luggage, Dana-Pam was visibly wasted and doing what I thought was trying to light her cigarette with her cocktail. (Turns out it was a candle in a tumbler, but it took her long enough to do get a successful light that it might as well have been a cocktail.) In case you were wondering, D-P still hates Brandi, and if you can remember why, fill us in. As far as I can remember, it was just because hating Brandi was the trendy thing to do last season.8. I don’t understand the name of Kyle’s boutique. Kyle By Alene Too? What the hell is that? It certainly did seem like the chintzier parts of her closet threw up all over the store, so at least the “Kyle” part is appropriate.9. The back of Yolanda’s head at Kyle’s party is what I’m scared the back of my head looks like all the time. Girl,Louis Vuitton Outlet, I can see your weave tracks. (I don’t have any weave, but I’m pretty sure whatever’s happening back there ain’t pretty, and I’m glad no one films me from behind for anything that people get to see. Look at me from the front, y’all. FROM THE FRONT.)10. Kim accidentally took the wrong pill in Paris. Addicts tend to fudge the truth, but for some reason, I believe Kim. I nearly put Mario Badescu face soap on my toothbrush this morning, so I’m also in no place to judge anyone for not paying all that close of attention to what’s going in his or her mouth.

If you’re a true bag lover, there’s nothing more exciting than flipping through the available pieces at a luxury auction. Sure, it’s fun to walk into a store and see what’s available,Louis Vuitton Handbags, but when you’re shopping for vintage or pre-owned bags,Louis Vuitton Shoes, the entire world opens up to you. Bags that are only available to longtime VIPs or that disappeared from store shelves season ago are suddenly at your fingertips, and there’s no better shopping rush than laying hands on something rare that you’ve been lusting after. Luckily for you,Louis Vuitton Outlet, the Christie’s Vintage Couture Handbags and Accessories Auction is going on now through June 24. The auction features the usual suspects in the world of highly covetable handbags – Hermes,Louis Vuitton Luggage, Chanel and Louis Vuitton. In it, you’ll find lots of exotic, special edition and otherwise hard-to-find bags in excellent condition, including several jaw-dropping crocodile Birkins in colors like hunter green and dark purple. Below, check out our favorites from the sale and then head over to Christies.com to bid on this auction, which is exclusive to the venerable auction house’s website. If you don’t have an inheritance to rely on, don’t feel left out – bags in this auction start as low as ?250.

If you’ve spent any appreciable amount of time shopping for handbags,louis vuitton outlet, either online or in stores (and I think that it’s a pretty good bet that you have), then you’re likely familiar with the utterly enormous line of not just handbags, but small leather goods,accessories, tech accouterments and any number of other tiny and not-so-tiny things that one can buy and put in his or her bag. They’re a huge part of the company’s financial success,Louis Vuitton Luggage, not to mention that Jacobs’ wallets,Louis Vuitton Shoes, iPad cases and coin purses fill a huge market gap for functional accessories with a contemporary style and price point. So why not showcase that on the runway?For Marc by Marc Jacobs Spring 2013,Louis Vuitton Sunglasses, that’s exactly what the company did, by way of handbags with clear front panels. The panels allow both the bag’s interior design and the owner’s small accessories to become part of the visual, which could be great or terrible, depending on your handbag-tidiness tendencies. With the small, colorful accessories and interior pockets that are made to be seen, Marc’s little sister line might just pull off the look. If you’d rather have something a bit more private, the collection is rife with blurry gingham-printed satchels and Louis Vuitton Alma-esque top handles in bright crayon colors. Check out the full gallery after the jump.

Humans are creatures of habit. We’re predisposed to find routines, create schedules and return to behaviors over and over again. Even fashion,louis vuitton outlet, which encourages newness and exploration, becomes somewhat rote over time. Most fashion people find a uniform for themselves as they spend more and more time thinking about style and what makes them feel like themselves, and at least for now, my uniform is pretty much set – a black (or black and white) maxi dress, silver sandals and my trusty Proenza Schouler PS1. That uniform will shift with the seasons,Louis Vuitton Shoes, of course, but the spirit of the pieces that I’ll incorporate into it will be the same. Especially the bag. When I look back, I realize that I’ve been honing this “uniform” of sorts for a long time. I’ve always been an ardent fan of black, even in the stifling Georgia summers of my first 25 years on the planet, and I have black sundresses (yes, sundresses) from college that I still wear regularly. My realization about silver shoes came more recently – I’ve bought three pairs of shoes this summer, and they’re all a similar metallic hue, despite the fact that one does not objectively need that many pairs of silver shoes. All of those habits are dwarfed by how specific I’ve become with my bags, though.Again,Louis Vuitton Handbags, this is a habit that I realized recently. Or, more accurately, it was pointed out to me recently by Bea, a new member of the PurseBlog team. I’ve had a Proenza Schouler PS1 for about a year and a half now, and I like carrying it so much that I now more or less only consider buying bags with similar structures. They have to be crossbodies, they have to have a couple easily accessible pockets and I prefer a top flap. My PS1 is paneled in a black-based blanket print textile, and I seriously consider a bag a lot more if it has a similarly dark pattern to it. I may not be buying an identical bag, and it might not be from the same designer, but it’s the same bag, for all intents and purposes.I’d also buy another PS1, but only one with a print. I seriously considered doing as much a couple of weeks ago during the height of sale season, only to find that the object of my affections had a significantly shorter shoulder strap that my older PS1,Louis Vuitton Handbags, meaning it couldn’t be worn cross-body. I’ve never lost interest in anything so quickly. I have a pattern, even if it took me a while (and a little bit of help) to recognize it in myself.I’m betting that a lot of you guys have the same kinds of patterns – maybe all your favorite bags have similar shapes and details, or maybe you’ve literally bought a dozen Balenciaga Motorcycle Bags over the years. Either way, we want to hear about your habits in the comments.If you’re like me, you can pick up this PS1 (which I’m obsessed with) for $2,100 via Neiman Marcus.

I remember watching Austin City Limits on PBS with my dad (a huge country fan) when I was a kid, so it’s kind of amazing to look at how rapidly both the city and Austin City Limits itself have changed in those intervening years. Austin has transformed itself from state-capital-cum-weird-college-town to a national hub of music, tech and pop culture. Now ACL has spawned the super-popular Austin City Limits Music Festival, which kicks off in just a few days and is the next destination in our #WhatsInYourKors party, following in the footsteps of places like Ibiza and Milan. Austin’s style is a mixture of young urbanity and traditional Texan details,Louis Vuitton Handbags, and for a concert weekend featuring everyone from Depeche Mode to Kendrick Lamar,Louis Vuitton Outlet, add in a generous dosage of festival-appropriate boho-glam. For a party like the ACL festival, all you’re going to want to carry is a small crossbody, your wallet and your phone, but if that makes you feel a little bare,Louis Vuitton Luggage, fret not – add some gold-tone jewelry and a killer pair of sunglasses to finish off the look. Find out what’s in our Michael Kors bag for the Austin City Limits Music Festival both below and at MichaelKors.com, and on Twitter and Instagram,Louis Vuitton Shoes, show us what’s in yours with the hashtag #WhatsInYourKors.MICHAEL Michael Kors Bedford Gusset Snake Print Crossbody Bag$218 via Michael KorsMichael Kors Pyramid Stud Saffiano Bracelet$85 via Michael KorsMichael Kors Link Pendant Necklace$125 via Michael KorsMichael Kors Bead Stretch Bracelet$75 via Michael KorsMICHAEL Michael Kors Sicily Aviator Sunglasses$99 via Michael KorsMICHAEL Michael Kors Saffiano iPhone 5 Case$148 via Michael KorsMichael Kors Golden Stainless Steel Blake Three Hand Glitz Watch$225 via Michael Kors

Happy May! We hope April showers are bringing plenty of May flowers to your garden. This week, we found some lovely florals in Louis Vuitton, an animal surprise in Mulberry, and a few other pretty springtime reveals throughout the forum. Oh, and some bling too! Come on in! Louis Vuitton started spring off right with the launch of Ikat Floral bags and accessories. Fans have been eager to share their purchases in the LV Clubhouse thread dedicated to this line. Sprinkles&Bling showed her love of May flowers with her new Neverful and wallets, and maye’s grand bleu version of the Ikat Floral Neverful, along with Fashon1s cosmetic pouch, spurred us to look further into these great LV Summer 2013 accessories. Be sure to also check out the LV reveals this week, too!The PurseForum’s “Latest Purchases” threads are fast-moving, fun and always interesting. Whether it is a new piece we have not yet discovered, the incredible photographic skills of our members or the stylings and pairings we love to admire, these threads never disappoint. This week in the Miu Miu thread, Luxtan revealed a cute bracelet that we just had to share with our Roundup readers. Also,Louis Vuitton Handbags, be sure to see the beautiful bags that helped sissalovebags celebrate her birthday! And, if there are any Miu Miu aficionados out there, TheMoustaches needs your help identifying a pair of shoes. We love being surprised by designers?and of course a bit of whimsy is always welcome in our closets! In Mulberry, a conversation about the gecko-themed scarves pulled us right in, and these pretty wraps immediately stole our hearts. Members tortoiseperson and thelittlestar shared their purchases here, and we were enchanted. There were lots of handbag reveals in Mulberry this week, too; we particularly loved the grass green Lily that mulberryforbes round at the outlets! A gorgeous spring green bag at a great price,Louis Vuitton Shoes, what a fantastic combination!Speaking of recent acquisitions: In Handbags and Purses, the thread dedicated to handbag purchases always tops the charts, and for good reason. We perused its pages this week and found some inspiring new bags, like this colorful quartet from craziepink and allyloupuppy’s beautiful new empreinte Speedy. If you are in the mood for a new bag and need some ideas,Louis Vuitton Sunglasses, there is something for every taste and budget in this great, photo-rich resource. See you there!Sometimes we need help with an important purchase, be it a handbag, electronic doodad, or piece of jewelry. For the latter, the Jewelry Box is definitely the place to start. This week, we stopped by Designpurchaser’s thread on pearl color, where helpful members shared their thoughts on this all-important jewelry staple. CrystalDreams posted a spectacular and very useful comparison shot, including freshwater and baroque South Sea pearls, and tustin’s stunning black South Seas birthday strand is absolutely not to be missed. If pearls are not on your shopping list,Louis Vuitton Luggage, The Jewelry Box Reference Forum is packed with threads dedicated to all things bling, including colored gemstones, watches, Van Cleef and Arpels and more. Of course, the Diamond FAQ and Reference thread is right on Page One for all of your diamond needs. Even if you are not shopping, the Jewelry Box is sure to become a favorite stop in your PurseForum explorations.Thank you for taking the time to share this week’s Roundup. We hope you have a terrific weekend and look forward to sharing our favorite threads with you next week! See you then!

Happy Friday! It feels like we travelled all over the place for this week’s PurseForum Roundup, probably because, as most of you know, the PurseForum has evolved over the years to include much more than handbags! First we’ll stop by Chanel to visit a truly colorful reveal thread, then off to the check out some new makeup in the Beauty Bar. After spending some time clubbing in Louis Vuitton, we’ll celebrated a milestone with Alexanter McQueen fans and than collapse exhausted in front of the television with some snacks from our PurseForum Kitchen. It all begins below!We found some terrific reveal threads in Chanel to share with you this week. PurseForum member and Chanel aficionado win28 graciously shared her growing collection of classic Chanel styles in lots eye-popping,Louis Vuitton Sunglasses, magnificent colors. Be sure to stop by Sonicbabe’s gorgeous seaside reveal to take in the ocean views and her stylish new Boy tote, too! Of course, the February purchases thread, a must-visit for any Chanel lover, is a highly recommended stop this week as well!Are you a MAC fan? We never fail to find great new products in the MAC purchase thread in the Make-Up subforum. This thread has been busy this week,Louis Vuitton Shoes, as members stock up on the newest items from the Archie’s Girl line, like this great haul from Lady Stardust. Speaking of the Beauty Bar, have you visited the Rants and Raves subforum? This wonderful resource has reviews on a huge variety of products, and we got some great advice there this week. If Nail Care is more your interest, be sure to visit Rants and Raves section there, too! The weather has been far from spring-like for many of us this week, but the Louis Vuitton Clubhouse certainly felt warm and sunny when we spotted this cute reveal from Epi club member dlynn. The LV Clubhouse has something for everyone, as members gather in threads devoted to their favorite styles from this powerhouse brand. If it’s still chilly where you are,louis vuitton outlet, perhaps a visit to the Scarf, Bandana and Shawl club will warm you up. We love this great shot of Cilifene’s trio of shawls, one of which she beautifully styled with a gorgeous Balenciaga moto jacket. The clubhouse has something for every Louis Vuitton fan, so be sure to stop by and find your favorites!Speaking of scarves, did you know the Alexander McQueen skull scarf celebrates its tenth anniversary this year? Where did the time go? PurseForum member jamamcg brought this to our attention this week, which prompted a long look at the thread in Wardrobe Accessories featuring the myriad Alexander McQueen scarf offerings. We celebrate along with AM fans in this thread, spotlighting this must-have classic accessory. Gunsandbanjos’ colorful collection is absolutely splendid, and just this week, PrincessD shared two classic color combinations that are sure to get your attention. We think there’s always room for one more McQueen scarf in our wardrobe – wouldn’t you agree?Last but not least,Louis Vuitton Luggage, we made a quick dash through the Playground to see what our members are talking about besides fashion. In Television and Cinema, the Downton Abbey thread has been a chart topper for several weeks, and of course all of the Real Housewives threads are hopping each and every week. As usual, the Netflix thread gave us some great viewing ideas for a rainy Sunday afternoon. To finish up, what goes better with a good television show than a great snack? Check out these decadent chocolate chip muffins from lazeny we found in the PurseForum Kitchen. Guilty pleasures are so much fun!

Whenever you find yourself envying the luxurious lives of celebs, just muse on this little factoid: they all hit the gym way,Louis Vuitton Luggage, way more than you and I. The pressure to keep everything tight must be especially stressful when you make most of your living doing fanciful burlesque routines a la Dita Von Teese. But of course,Louis Vuitton Sunglasses, the burlesque life has kept her elbow-deep in Chanel bags for some time now. Here;s Dita leaving the gym in West Hollywood, carrying an uber-feminine Chanel Camellia Flap Bag. Camellias are, of course, one of the recurring motifs woven throughout Chanel;s lineage,Louis Vuitton Outlet, along with things like pearls and the number 5. Chanel;s Fall 2014 show certainly did not disappoint in the bag department. The brand;s cheeky-luxe supermarket theme was ideal for displaying the surprising functionality of Chanel bags of every shape and size. Chanel had a little something for every (conceptual, high-end) type of shopper ; oversized woven totes, colorful fabric versions of their Mini Flap Bags, furry foldovers with cartoon graphics…well,Louis Vuitton Shoes, you should really just take in the entire Chanel Fall 2014 collection yourself.

If you’re in the New York City area, then you know that this weekend was positively magical, weather-wise. The mornings held that first note of fall crispness, and although it got warmer in the afternoons, you could wear pants without sweating through them. It was perfect,Louis Vuitton Shoes, and it had me thinking immediately of the rich textures that come with fall dressing. That’s true for men, too, which is why we’re loving the Valextra Suede Messenger Bag this week. I didn’t realize how few suede men’s bags I encounter until I saw this one. Valextra, too,Louis Vuitton Luggage, doesn’t do a lot of suede – the Italian brand is widely known for its ultra-fine leather in simple, conservative shapes, and for the brand, suede seems almost aggressively casual. In this rich brown, just a few shades darker than tan, though,Louis Vuitton Sunglasses, it looks like something a long-tenured and oft-published professor of literature might carry. A stately man with a refined life, but one of tweedy British blazers instead of Italian suits. For men younger or slicker than that, it’s perhaps wise to stick to the materials and textiles more commonly found in men’s accessories – smooth leather and canvas, treated or untreated. If you or the man in your life own a blazer with elbow patches, though, I’ve found your ultimate man bag. Thank me later. Buy through Mr. Porter for $3,Louis Vuitton Handbags,270.

I’ve long been a proponent of Christian Louboutin’s small but underrated bag line. Louboutin’s bags have many of the same charms of his shoes – edgy detailing, that signature pop of red – and unlike his shoes,Louis Vuitton Handbags, there’s no prospect of physical pain after the first hour! That being said,Louis Vuitton Shoes, you probably wouldn’t want to trip down a flight of stairs with Olivia Wilde’s mixed metal Christian Louboutin Panettone Spiked Shopper Tote. You can claim this Panettone as your own for $2,395 at Neiman Marcus. Olivia recently carried this tote to a taping of Jimmy Kimmel Live – her fiance Jason Sudeikis was the featured guest. We’ve seen many a celeb carrying Louboutin’s Sweet Charity bags, which come in a rainbow of colors, patterns, and leathers (there’s even a spiked version!), but this CL bag is fairly new on the scene. In fact,Louis Vuitton Luggage, the Panettone Shopper was just introduced in Louboutin’s Fall 2013 collection. What’s your take on the Panettone,Louis Vuitton Sunglasses, PB readers?

Elizabeth Hurley was recently spotted leaving her humble abode in London carrying an Hermes So Black Birkin. If you’ve ever wondered why the So Black Birkins only appear in the hands of an extremely select set of celebs, allow us to regale you with a little So Black Birkin backstory. This extremely rare all-black version (black box calf with matching black hardware) of the traditional Birkin was first released in 2010. Because of production issues, some of the bags weren’t released until 2011,Louis Vuitton Shoes, and they haven’t been reproduced by the brand since then, according to our research. That makes the So Black exponentially rarer than your average Birkin.These bags were available in both matte alligator and box calf, and Hurley has the box calf version,Louis Vuitton Luggage, as does Kim Kardashian, who owns a crazy stash of Birkins of every make and model. Tamara Ecclestone also lays claim to dozens of Birkins, including the Hermes So Black Alligator Birkin,Louis Vuitton Shoes, which is the most ridiculously gorgeous Birkin of the whole lot, IMHO. It’s no secret that I’m pretty blah about most Hermes Birkins, both as bag and cultural phenomenon, but the So Blacks are so alluring,louis vuitton outlet, I honestly wonder why Hermes ever tried black hardware again.

Sometimes fashion speaks to its customers on a metaphorical level, but for 3.1 Phillip Lim Fall 2014, the handbags literally have something to say. The handheld, paper bag-like purses are debossed with fashion-fave phrases like ;totes; and ;amaze,; as well as clutches that boast of the ;cash; therein. (And let;s face it, ;cash; is a favorite phrase among the luxury crowd as well, if maybe not a colloquialism.)If you like your handbags a little less wordy,Tiffany Rings, the collection also featured many a chain-handled, highly structured shoulder bag, very much in the vein of the Chanel Boy Bag,Tiffany Necklaces, but slightly more minimal. Lim made his accessories name with the Pashli,Moncler Womens Coats, a contemporary take on the incredibly popular Celine Luggage Tote shape,Moncler Mens Coats, and with the Boy Bag;s ever-increasing favor among fashion;s tastemakers, it;s smart for the brand to provide a more attainably priced alternative that still has plenty of fashion cachet. Check out the full runway collection below.[Images via Vogue.com]

The following news just in:Gucci has continued its partnership with UNICEF this season in their 2006 Holiday campaign which will benefit UNICEF programs that aid children in Africa.From November 21st to December 31st,Tiffany Bracelets, Gucci will donate 20 percent of the sales from a luxurious collection of items designed by Gucci;s Creative Director,Moncler Outlet, Frida Giannini. The proceeds will specifically benefit education and health services to children in Mozambique, where nearly three-quarters of a million children are directly affected by HIV/AIDS.Hot stuff! It appears that companies have really fueled the awareness for the poorest of the poor recently. Bono;s Red Campaign is one of the big ones,Moncler Womens Coats, involving a lot of ginormous corporations,Tiffany Rings, like Limited and Apple. Learn more about the Gucci UNICEF campaign at FWD.

First, some real talk: Despite the fact that I am a purple-haired, motorcycle-booted, full-grown woman with a fondness for the musical stylings of Killer Mike and UGK, I have, uh, more than a few Taylor Swift songs in my iTunes library. They aren’t there by accident. Something about Swift’s very literal, incredibly over-emotive songs about teenage love and heartbreak finds the confused middle schooler inside of me and pulls her right on up to the surface. Based on how many records Taylor sells,Tiffany Necklaces, I suspect I’m far from the only unlikely fan she has.Taylor has also made a fan out of my imaginary boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal in the past, and she’s currently make news for dating a Kennedy scion – not bad for a little fun between albums, eh? Today, Swift is the latest recipient of our The Many Bags of… treatment,Tiffany Bangle, not only for her place in pop culture, but also for the age-appropriate style inspiration that she can give to her younger fans. While Taylor has some spendy bags, a lot of what she carries fits in with her attainable everygirl image. Check out Taylor’s bags after the jump.First and foremost,Tiffany Bracelets, Taylor has a real affection for the brown handbags from Ralph Lauren’s various lines. This one in particular is the Rugby Ralph Lauren Pony Hair and Leather Saddle Bag,Tiffany Rings, which is no longer available.

Let me level with you here: I am a southerner, both by birth and by temperamental aversion to winter weather. Before I moved to New York a couple of years ago, I had owned one real coat in my life (a peacoat from the Gap because I went to high school in America just like everyone else), and I was not necessarily upset about that. Now the same polar vortex that turned Chicago into Siberia yesterday has arrived in my adopted place of residence, and the proverbial shit just got real. Naturally, our first Outfit of the Week of 2014 deals with how to fashionably fend off the cold,Tiffany Necklaces, including a couple of pieces from my actual closet. For a post-sunrise windchill of -11, it;s time to break out the Moncler puffer. I realize that many fashion people are constitutionally opposed to puffer coats, but now is not the time to be difficult. If you choose to be difficult, I cannot prevent you from turning into a person-sized popsicle, and then you won;t get the opportunity to wear all that stuff you bought at the sales last week. No one wants that! Wear the puffer. After your coat, your boots are your next most important choice,Tiffany And Co Outlet, and I;ve sworn by the UGG Belcloud Boots for three years and counting. I;ve worn them through snow,Tiffany Rings, ice, slush and many puddles of indeterminate depth and composition, and they are the best. They don;t look like UGGs on the outside and their soles are as slip-proof as it gets, but you still get that wonderful, fuzzy lining. And then, of course, there;s the handbag. Something that sits across your body is ideal when your coat is bulky and everything wants to fall off your shoulders, and we;d advise something with a closed top in a sturdy leather like saffiano. Throw on some fuzzy accessories, a turtleneck sweater (so you don;t have to rely on your scarf as much) and some heavy-duty moisturizer,Tiffany Outlet, and you;re set. For like 20 minutes, at least. Then go back inside. Don;t make me call your mother.

Huaxi, the most affluent village in China, has eyed tourism as the next leading engine for its economy, a month after the death of its legendary leader.Sun Haiyan, deputy Party chief, said on Wednesday that the village in Jiangsu province's Jiangyin city attracted more than 2 million tourists in 2012, including 100,Tiffany Rings,000 from overseas, and generated 600 million yuan ($97.2 million) in revenue."The revenue figure is not so much if you consider it in proportion with our village's gross income of 50 billion yuan last year, but tourism is definitely a potential driving force for our economy," he said.Per capita GDP in Huaxi stood at 88,000 yuan in 2012, while the national per capita GDP averaged 38,354 yuan, according to official statistics.The village's prosperity is largely credited to Wu Renbao, who died of lung cancer on March 18. Wu became a household name for leading his fellow villagers to stick to the path of a collective economy and building Huaxi into one of the most prosperous villages in China.Sun said Huaxi's new leadership, including Wu Renbao's son,Tiffany Necklaces, Party chief Wu Xie'en, has been striving to reshape its economic structure, upgrading the industry-dominant economy toward a modern service industry-led model.Steal and textiles have given way to finance, sea transport and logistics in recent years, he said, as the former generated deficits given China's overcapacity in the two sectors and the global economic downturn.As for tourism, the village will invest more in eco-tourism and innovation,Tiffany Bracelets, Sun said. "Now we have some 80 tourists sites, including a museum that shows our history of common prosperity and a golden sculpture of a cow weighing 1 metric ton. We will come up with more innovative ideas to attract tourists."He said the village will expand its aviation business by increasing the number of helicopters for sightseeing over the next three years.Earlier reports suggested the village is facing increasing suspicion over its economic sustainability.The Long Wish Hotel International, a five-star hotel,Tiffany Bangle, has been losing money since it opened in 2011, and the stock price of the village's listed company, Jiangsu Huaxi Group, has become a junk bond, Beijing News reported last week.Entrance fee to ancient town hurting tourismShops in scenic town back in business 

By now, we know what to expect from Alexander Wang’s runway bags: neutrals, weird shapes, athletic references. Every season, only a few of the designer’s cash-cow handbags make it onto the runway,Tiffany Rings, and they’re generally not the ones that end up selling briskly at retail. Some brands use their runway shows like accessories ads (bags are a critical source of revenue for most of the designers who make them),Tiffany Necklaces, but Wang chooses to use his runway accessories strictly to flesh out the mood of the collection instead. That means there’s often not much to look at, handbag-wise, but the Alexander Wang Spring 2013 collection did offer a few clues about what we can expect from the contemporary leader for the season. As you might expect,Tiffany And Co Outlet, there’s more stark black and white coming, plus some unexpected netting and terrycloth that made sense in the context of Wang’s athletic tendencies (but not in any other context.)
