Karl Lagerfeld t-shirt to match you designer bag

Karl Lagerfeld has designed some pretty amazing stuff in his lifetime, who would thought he would become a design! I Just browsed through Wordans T-shirt Lab custom t-shirt designs celebrity section and found this amazing Karl Lagerfeld design! It's kind of risqué, but I just had to buy it!

It was actually pretty fun to do, I just placed the design wherever I wanted on a Long sleeve t-shirt and they shipped right to me! I was actually really impressed with the quality.

Next time you rent a bag made by designer Karl Lagerfeld, make sure your buy his t-shirt to show your love!

Around the world with Gucci, Prada and Chanel designer bags



From Paris to Beijing, it seems everyone wants a designer handbag. Unfortunately, Gucci bags are not always affordable, and lets face it, go out of fashion by the next season. Some people go for the high fashion copy market and get there Gucci lookalike bags from street vendors. Sure they look the same, but what about quality and respect?

The closing of contraband markets such as the XianYang market in Shanghai is marking a new era in clamping down on fake merchandise and letting high end fashion remain high end.

So where does this leave you? Are you bound to spend thousands on a new Prada handbag every time you see the bag of your dreams? Thats where stillchic comes in. Imagine the bag of your dreams, yours for a week, why not a month? You can now choose the latest designer bags (Chanel, Dior, Fendi, Gucci,

Keep warm with a comfy handbag...

As the skiing season steadily approaches us here in the frigid North, I've been looking forward to buying a new handbag to portray my "ski girl" look. I'm not a fantastic skiier, but I do like to at least attempt to look the part. Anyone seen Bridget Jones 2? Yeah. I'm Bridget Jones.


bridget jones skiingYeah, this is definitely me on the left...

Anyway, back on track. I've recently been noticing the new trend of designer handbags that are knitted. I realize, this probably isn't the newest trend, but sweater handbags are a perfect answer to the question of "what handbags should I choose for my winter sports?" Sweater handbags are a perfect blend of comfy, sexy and practical, which for me, makes them a great sell! I read a blog (and now I can't remember where... grrr) where the poster was talking about sweater handbags and said that she wanted to snuggle with one. I completely agree. Like throwing on a cute sweater when it's freezing out, these handbags are soft and cozy.




Here are a few sweater handbags that I find absolutely adorable. Tell me what you think? You know what? I'm going to put a poll on the top left hand corner of this blog. Vote for the sweater handbag you think I should buy!

For all you history nuts out there

I was emailed an article this morning about the "truth behind fashion."

This article explains the behind the scenes information on the history of a lot of our favourite designer brands. If you're interested in knowing why they call them stilettos and pumps or if there was indeed a real Mary Jane, you should definitely check out this article.

If you're not one to click around from site to site, here is my favourite tidbit of information:

"Have women always carried purses?

Once upon a time, ladies stored their essentials in a little waist sack tied under their clothing (sort of an early ancestor of the fanny pack) and accessible through slits in their skirts.
Around 1800, thinner, silkier fabrics and slimmer cuts came into vogue, and women could no longer hide the bulging sacks around their midsections. The solution? They began carrying their belongings in small pocketbooks instead."


From fanny packs to designer handbags... we've come a long way haven't we?

Buying replica designer handbags is like shopping at Ikea

I love Ikea.

Ikea is a shopping wonderland of all of the trendy home designs offered at affordable prices. You can even get a cheap Swedish lunch while you shop. And kids love the ball pit. The only downside of this Swedish Walmart for home owners is that if you go too crazy with Ikea items, then you run the risk of having the exact same things as everyone else. Maybe that's the point.

It is the same with designer handbags and replica designer handbags.

Whether or not we're willing to admit it, most of us enjoy conforming with the rest of society. We like having all the new, great things that everyone else has. Oddly enough, we don't like other people knowing that we feel this. We get a little red in the cheeks when people find out that we paid much less for something or that we have a replica or a knock off of a much more expensive item. Everyone loves to have the exclusive designer handbag because it makes them feel at the top of the social hierarchy.

I think personally I like the sense of satisfaction knowing that other people think I paid a lot of money for my fabulous designer handbag while knowing that I actually didn't. Replica designer handbags, on average, offer a similar quality to designer handbags, but at a fraction of the cost. While it would be great if everyone could afford to buy exactly what they like, it is refreshing to know that there are other options for the rest of us.

Ikea will always remain a popular chain namely because of its ability to offer decent quality products for less than the expensive, brand name counterparts. Replica designer handbags follow suit. As long as there remains a need for designer handbags, replica designer handbags will also coexist.

What do you think about replica designer handbags? Would you rather pay more for the original? Leave me a comment below.

Let's Go Tartan!

With the winter months almost upon us, we are continuing our discussion on winter purses and designer handbags for this frigid season (well frigid for those of us not lucky enough to live in a place with a warm winter). At least for me, the winter season is all about accessorizing, especially with scarves, gloves/mitts and the perfect tartan handbags to match?

Tartan handbags are springing up on runways and in stores everywhere this winter season. While the look has been around for centuries, originating in Scotland, it has only been recently that it has taken off on winter purses.

Top Three Sexy Tartan Handbags

1) Barbour Tartan Handbags
-This designer handbag is a fantastic choice for students or other people on the go. It's larger size allows for easy carrying of items like laptop computers or files for work. Even pack your lunch!Bourbon tartan handbags
2) Vivian West Tartan Handbags - Coin Purse
- I love coin purses and this tartan coin purse is no exception. Great look, and just the right size to store all of that loose change without worrying about space.

3) Dooney-Burke Tartan Handbags
- This tiny tartan handbag is absolutely adorable with its chain handle and lighter tartan colouring. Perfect for any occasion and just the right size to fit everything you need, this winter purse is an excellent choice.

I have to admit that I think the coin purse is my favourite of these three. Probably because I absolutely adore a cute coin purse. What is your favourite of these winter purses? Let me know by leaving me a comment.

Who doesn't love handbag cartoons!?

As many of you may know, I'm a member of Blog Catalog. If you're not, I highly recommend it as it is a great way to meet other bloggers and really feel a part of a community. That being said, I stumbled upon (ha ha) a blog called A Side of Cartoons that has some utterly fantastic cartoons (and posted daily, no less). This one was ridiculously appropriate, so I thought I would share it with you guys. Hope you find it as great as I do.
