Futuristic Chanel Handbag

I love this clear, organizer/handbag by Chanel. It has compartments for all the Chanel essentials; your Chanel sunglasses, Chanel I-Pod, lipstick, eye shadow, perfume, and of course, a central space for the infamous quilted bag.

Mary Kate and Ashley Olson's Laced Ears

Mary Kate & Ashley Olson arrived to an Opening Ceremony reception in Japan wearing laced mickey mouse ears and bunny ears. I dont know exactly what they were thinking but Halloween is still two months away! They almost look like stylish cartoon characters.

Denim Update: Bleached Jeans


Update your wardrobes with the newest trends in denim. To start with, the skinny jean remains a staple item as far as denim styles go. The bleached jean is going to be huge, and expect to find the bleached jean in a variety of washes, such as dark grey, indigo, brown, and white.

Hannah Skinny Ankle Jean $218

An '80s-inflected love letter from Siwy, these bleached ankle skinny jeans feature shredded holes and worn spots. 4-pocket styling and single-button closure. Quilting at back pockets. 11" leg opening.

Diane Von Furstenberg's leather leggings are sleek and slim. They look great for the ultimate rock chic look. Pair leather leggings with a studded pump and an oversized tank top. The Diane Von Furstenberg "leggy leather legging" can be found on www.shopbop.com for $565.00
