The Buzz on Bag Borrow or Steal

Ladies, imagine having a new designer purse or handbag for every occasion conveniently delivered to your door. From Abas to Yves Saint Laurent, there are literally hundreds from which to choose. The membership entails a process in which a bag is selected and then shipped out.  Later a second bag is selected, and the first bag is returned.  Members can hold onto a handbag for up to a year. http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/ui/welcome?linkShareVisitorID=408040632007-02-2701:49%20PM

Affordable Luxury - Stella does Target

Stella McCartney is about to release a 42-piece Australia-exclusive line in Target stores on March 12. Her only other such collaboration, a limited-edition range for European chain H&M in 2005, sparked brawls at cash registers across Britain. The Target range will include a trench coat, tailored jacket and pants, shirts, a day dress and an embroidered cocktail frock. McCartney said she hoped the garments would be “something you want to keep forever’’.  http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/story/0,23739,21149565-23272,00.html

Valentino's Kid Laminato Handbag

Yet another metallic bag for spring! This time, we're looking at Valentino's Kid Laminato Handbag, which is made of supple leather that has been finished with a nickel-tone metallic sheen. It has a warm, almost pinkish, cast to it, setting it apart from some of the more harshly metallic bags out there. The hardware is gold, including the signature V adorning the tab closure running over the bag's top zipper and underneath the rolled leather top handles. Inside, the lining is canvas and has one zippered pocket to keep your small items secure inside the large purse. It measures 11"H x 17"W x 6"D. Price: $1,695. http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main/ProductDetail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524446155021&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=282574492703825&ASSORTMENT%3C%3East_id=1408474395222441&bmUID=1170962941534&ev19=1:1

Burberry Border-Striped Scarf

If it didn't have the brand logo embroidered onto one end, you would never know that this Border-Striped Scarf is from Burberry because it is completely devoid of the signature Burberry check. Its design is distinctive, however, and quite elegant in orange and white on lightweight rayon/linen. It should be suitable for all seasons, with the exception of very cold winter nights and match equally well with both jeans and suits. Price: $240.00  http://www.burberryusaonline.com/home/index.jsp 

Vintage Clothing Website

Dressing in vintage clothing is a trend that is growing with each day, but it can be very difficult to find good vintage clothing stores.  Now, vintage stores are starting to become popular online.  Unique Vintage Clothing and Accessories offers a great selection.  For that Greta Garbo look you are searching for, this is the perfect site to find your outfit.  http://www.unique-vintage.com/

Casual Luxury Abercrombie Jeans

The retailer that is so popular with the high-school aged crowd is offering a pair of "specially handcrafted with premium denim fabric" jeans that are retailing for almost $400 per pair. The high price tag is a bit of a stretch from the brand's usual pricing, but each pair of the limited edition jeans will be completely unique and individually numbered to guarantee authenticity. As with just about all of their other clothing, the jeans are heavily distressed and come in several shades of dyed blue cotton.  http://www.abercrombie.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_10051_10901_320889_-1_12236

Sergio Rossi Chain Gladiator Sandal

It takes a certain person to wear the gladiator shoes, a person that has complete confidence in their feet. The Chain Gladiator Sandal by Sergio Rossi certainly has an artistic nature about them, but the practical aspect is lacking just a bit. The Chain Gladiator Sandals feature silver, copper and pewter straps, a 3 1/2" heel and a zip back closure. Price: $1195.  http://www.vivre.com/browse/product.jsp?p=P27996&c=432&s=752&ss=-1

Diane vonFurstenberg Cadenza Coat

  Is it a coat or a baby doll dress? Some coats can be a bit boring and  add nothing to your outfit, but the DvF Cadenza adds a girlish yet sophisticated aura. Made as a raincoat, its stylish accents, button front, belted waist and full flowing body allow the Cadenza to stand alone and become your outfit. This upscale raincoat comes with an upscale price ($495) and should be looked as an investment rather than an impulse buy, but it is definitely worth your money.  http://www.dvf.com/store/ProductDisplay.do?asin=B000LBTFUY&componentId=133&page=1
