So far it looks like it’s only available in black/grey at net-a-porter, but I’m dying to see what other colors it comes in.

Z, have you seen this out in any other colors? I thought I saw it in a blue somewhere. Could be wrong though.

BTW, the De-Mante also comes in leather. But of course I’m all for the skull nylon print!

$1,165.00 Hybrid ‘Faithful’ tote with ‘De-Manta’ detailing. Wide zip opening with fold-down button flaps and short top handle: cotton lined with interior zip pocket.

1. Kylie Minogue

Kylie was seen wearing these pair of  oh-so-fun white shorts at the St Pancras International station. She really knows how to travel in style huh? And then there are my oversized sweatshirts and “travel pants”. I need me some of that high waisted goodness!

My verdict: Love it!

2. Jessica Alba in Dior

Look who looked deliciously feminine in a floral Christian Dior strapless number at the Dior fashion show in Paris.  The weave belt and white Dior sunglasses complete the dress making it look effortlessly summery.

My verdict: J’adore!

3. Jessica Alba in Chanel

Of course, no one…not even Jessica Alba gets it right every time. I do love that Chanel dress but paired with that red belt and the black shoes (It doesn’t matter that they are Louboutins) and that hair-do (or lack of it) make me go why Alba why?!

My verdict: I guess everyone’s allowed one faux pas.

4. Elizabeth Hurley

Elizabeth wore a gorgeous Versace gown to to Elton John’s annual White Tie and Tiara Ball with her trademark thigh high split and excessive cleavage. Is this where Blake Lively gets her inspiration from?

My verdict: I’m not saying Liz doesn’t look gorgeous but no one likes a one trick pony.

5. Natalia Vodianova

Sometimes the romantic deep inside me can’t help but fall in love with ruffles. In fact, the more the merrier! I think Natalia looks absolutely stunning in this strapless nude Valentino mini dress. The only thing I’d probably change are those shoes. They’re just a little boring, don’t you think?

My verdict: As my sister would type, “<3 <3 <3!”

6. Ashley Greene in Azzaro

I have been following Ashley Greene’s looks for a while and she almost always seems to go for something too old for her. Case in point: this full sleeved Azzaro Pre-Fall 2010 dress that she wore to the Belgium premiere of  The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. You’re 23 Ashley and you have a long way before you need to resort to matronly dresses like this. Stick to younger looks please?

My verdict: Ashley Greene and Liz Hurley should exchange dresses.

7. Ashley Greene in Michael Kors

Case in point 2: This Michael Kors look she sported at a photocall in Madrid. What makes it worse is that hideous hairstyle!

My verdict: Fire your stylist. Also send your hairstylist back to whatever era he/she came from.

8. Bryce Dallas Howard

I’m so excited about watching Bryce in the newest installment of the Twilight series. Something tells me she’s going to be fabulously evil in the movie….almost as fabulous as she looks in this Christian Dior lemon gown at the premiere at L.A. And I’m not even a fan of yellow!

My verdict: Red hair+ gorgeous yellow gown= divine!

9. Marion Cotillard

Is that a bed sheet, a curtain or just one heck of a fugly dress? Actually it could serve as any of the three but at the premiere of Inception in London, Marion chose to wear it as a dress with even uglier shoes.

My verdict: Excuse me while I try to erase this from my memory forever.

See all photos of the Inception premiere in London.

10. Megan Fox

When I first saw Megan in this custom made Armani Privé red silk charmeuse cocktail mini dress at the premiere of Jonah Hex, I thought she looked spectacular! The dramatic red against the pale white of her skin creates a delicious combination that is hard not to like. But the more I stared, the more I realized that perhaps the makeup is a bit much, no?

My verdict: Go easy on the makeup hun. You are far too pretty to need all those layers of makeup. Besides, it’s going to do little to hide/change the words that end up coming out of your mouth.

11. Jared Leto

I almost did not recognize Jared in this “Back to the future” kind of look at the Dior fashion show in Paris. Although there is a certain fierceness to this trench, baggy jeans, moon boots and fauxhawk look, I really miss my old Jared with jet black hair, eyeliner and mysterious, dark  brooding eyes.

My verdict: I don’t care what the world says. I want my old Jared back!

12. Robert Pattinson

Surprise Surprise! Guess who finally managed to evoke a lustful gawk from me. None other than Rob Pattinson aka annoying Vampire Boy himself! He showered, shaved and looked absolutely delicious in this maroon Gucci suit at the L.A premiere of The Eclipse. Taylor who?

My verdict: He cleans up GOOD!

13. Leighton Meester in Chanel

I love me some Leighton but I really want to know what she was thinking wearing this Chanel long-sleeved leather dress. With the current heat wave in Paris, it looks downright uncomfortable and super duper hot (for all the wrong reasons).

My verdict: Again, everyone is allowed one faux pas.

See all photos of Leighton Meester in Chanel.

14. Leighton Meester in Oscar de la Renta

Spotted. Queen B in a gaspworthy, GORGEOUS Oscar de la Renta Vermillion Silk Organza gown while filming Gossip Girl in Paris. It’s been a while since I’ve seen a dress this divine and believe me when I say I’d kill for it. Of course, no one can do it as much justice as our darling Blair me thinks.

My verdict: I’m too busy falling in love to give a verdict on this one. Go away. Shoo!

See all photos of Leighton Meester in Oscar de la Renta.

My favorite look has to be Leighton Meester’s Oscar de la Renta dress. Can’t wait to see how gorgeous it looks onscreen! And my least favorite has to be Marion Cotillard’s curtain dress. What about you? Btw, if you’ve spotted any extraordinary looks (good or bad) on celebs lately, do leave me a link below in comment box…

Even my favorite gal pal, Miss Marc, is featured in some of the designs! What’s special about this particular tote, however, is its very unique design! The front side of the tote is covered in a collage of canines! And they all have names too! So Marc, who is Duke? Or Sunny? Or Lulu? Or Miles? Were they dogs that you owned at some point? After all, the tote is called “Dogs of Marc”! But the only canine companions I am aware of are Alfred and Daisy, Marc Jacobs’s two bull terriers. Oh well, this packable tote is still a delight! And if you happen to be a dog lover, then this is definitely a must-have for you!

The Grant Large Nylon Hobo is one of the latest totes to hit the L.A.M.B scene. A puffy nylon silhouette is held together by an interwoven leather handle and decorated with vertical zippered pockets up front. Prior to L.A.M.B’s release, Maison Martin Margiela had this idea printed on their sketchpads first. Their version of the oversized Leather Slouchy Hobo lacks zippers up front (they’re actually built onto its sides instead), and features a sturdier silhouette; a more defined braided shoulder strap and cool tassel detailing.

Both feature a grey interior lining, additional zippers inside, and an eye-catching look that you wont run into too often. Margiela’s all-leather version retails for $995 versus L.A.M.B’s nylon bag that goes for a decent $225. I wouldn’t call either one a replica of the other, but they definitely got a pretty similar idea going on here. What’s your input on these tote bags, and which of the two makes your pick?

Introducing the Rebecca Minkoff Main Squeeze Clutch! Perhaps my favorite of the three bags that make up this particular group, the Main Squeeze Clutch is very similar in size to the MAC. The front of this of clutch is adorned by… not one… not two… but five buckles! The buckles are neatly arranged in a stair-stepping fashion, creating a diagonal line that moves from the upper left-hand corner to the lower right-hand corner of the bag. But these are not ordinary buckles. Nope, these babies have a stud-like appearance to them. Plus the buckles have double metal loops that remind me of the Rebecca Minkoff Stud and Loop Bracelet. Well, I guess if you ever wanted to match your bracelet to your handbag, then here is your chance!

It’s a simple little pouch with an amazing versatile gold chain. The longer strap can be used to wear the bag crossbody or simply as a shoulderbag. Done with that look? Remove it and sport as a wristlet by using the additional shorter chain strap.

Basics: available in ballet dancer (pink) or dust (gray) leather. Long chain, 24 1/2″ length, shorter chain wristlet 4″ length. Zip top. Two exterior zip pockets. Signature pink logo fabric lining. Body of the bag measures 5 1/4″H x 8 1/2″W x 2 5/8″D. retails for $198.

The second, where did this inspiration come from? With the little rain shower received in my neck of the woods, there has been an increase in the variety of arthropods that one sees. With that in mind, picking a favorite bug to adorn on my accessories is the least of my concern. Taking the giant beetle out of the picture and focus on the accessory itself, I actually like how this clutch reveals three roomy flat pockets and one zip compartment. I’d say this layout keeps you slightly more organized than a single compartment would. Of course, Veneta had to apply finishing touches of its infamous interwoven leather braiding, throughout the giant bug and the edgings. The price for this one-of-a-kind French accessory… that’ll be a whopping $1,980! Personally this BV bug clutch won’t do much for my personal style, but if the bug trend does bite one day, I’d say an embellished pin or charm would do the trick.

When you’re carry a tote with letters around, you’re bound to attract some readers, and the poetic inscription of “Poppy is a girl, is a flower, is a state of mind, Poppy is now and forever, Poppy is love I am Poppy”, isn’t necessarily the brightest statement most would want to advertise. To add more dazzle to this statement making tote, Coach adds a bright aqua and glimmery silver trimmed double handles that screams fun summer bag, that’s if you like this look. Look beyond the funky letters and white classic C’s lines the fabric, that way everyone will know that this is in fact your fun and casual Coach bag. The $198 price tag is fairly reasonable, but personally, I would much rather invest on one of the more classic pieces that Coach has to offer.
