Shop Your Favorite Magazine Spread

Remember those shoes that you saw in Harper's Bazaar two months ago that would have been great for that number you wore to dinner, but you searched endlessly for them to no avail? How about the time you read that spread in Vogue that saw the perfect dress to wear to your friends wedding? Well a few of my favorite online boutiques are making it a little easier to shop your favorite magazine spreads. {and big sigh of relief.... NOW} With the world housing more fashion designers than you can remember and just as many accessory designers, it can be hard to navigate your favorite articles in Vogue & NYLON in the "Where To Buy" sections just to find out that the item is sold out or was never there in the first place. Well if you have Internet access {and a working computer} that dress and those shoes just might be one mouse click away. Besides, let's face it, not all of us can sit front row at fashion week and then go back stage to chit chat with Donetella, then she send us our very own version of the runway dress a week later. {Now, if I could only get the stylists at Gossip Girl to do the same thing with their wardrobe}

Browns Fashion
{They've managed to put together these colorful spreads that look like they were ripped right from the pages of Harper's Bazaar}


Net-A-Porter
{Net-A-Porter has always been one step ahead of the game. They decided to actually produce a weekly magazine called Notes, seen above, to showcase all of the looks they have from the runway and regular RTW collections in addition to doling out latest trends and tips}

It Doens't Have To Look Organic?

**Zooey and Love & Eight "Think Green Be Cool" Hoodie made of Bamboo and Cotton

It's one thing to change all of the light bulbs in the house to those really cute swirly ones that save a tons of energy {by changing one you can save $61 and 812lbs of CO2 emissions annually}, but when you start asking fashionistas and fashionisto's alike to start giving up their Marc Jacobs and Louboutins you're crossing into totally new territory. Sort of like asking the jock in the locker room to quit being a jock type territory. Which got me to thinking, all of the organic and eco-friendly clothing that I have seen in the past years makes me want to change everything in my house and refrigerator to eco-friendly just so I can keep my compulsive shopping habit at Neimans with their plethora of leather pumps, in-organically dyed dresses and pure baby-soft cotton. So I took upon the task of finding clothing that is not only stylish but sustainable and wearable. Because as we have seen, just because it's organic and sustainable doesn't necessarily means its wearable.

Timeless Handbags

Okay, I bought my first designer handbag when I was in the 9th grade and I have been in love with well made designer bags every since. It was a blue Gucci , with the monogram, and a red white & blue ribbon in the center, a sort of button with the Gucci label in it, which nobody can seem to believe I bought when I did! (I'm not tellin!, not even the name of the bag!) One Fashionista that I know asked me about that bag and I knew immediately that this person knows her stuff! My next bag was a Coach, black, with a little black coach tag hanging. My next was my absolute favorite, Louis Vuitton. So went my upward love of handbags (started not a moment too soon!) I learned that Louis Vuitton was founded in 1854 and was the hallmark of style and craftmanship. I also learned that it was the creme de la creme, the best of the best when it came to craftmanship. So that's what I'll focus on today. There is something to be said for those individuals who can buy an item today knowing that it will never go out of style. Not only is it satisfying, it makes it easy for you to approach all of your shopping in "investment mode." You should buy all of your clothing, shoes, jewlery, everything from someone who can bring you both style and fashion. And I mean "BRING IT." Let's take a look at some current styles of Louis Vuitton Bags. For Louis Vuitton's Handbag collection: Palemo Pm and Palemo GM are two bags that are classics. In the luggage line Alzier, Bisten and Cotteville are classics. So there you have it, the first three designers that I bought my handbags from way back in ....(I'm still not tellin!) Which were the top 3 designers of the moment and arguably today. For all you Fashionista's out there here's a list of some other popular hand bag sites: http://www.balenciaga.com/ http://www.burberry.com/ http://www.chanel.com/ http://www.chloe.com/ http://www.christiandior.com/ http://www.hermes.com/ http://www.jimmychoobags.com/ Of all the people in the world...NOT ONE...is more PRECIOUS, LOVED AND DESERVING...than YOU.
