Rachel McAdams Style: Louis Vuitton Murakami Cherry Blossom Pouchette (discontinued) | view!
Let the week begin! Welcoming you to the new week, it’s time for a little Celebrity Monday (eBay designer bag day is Wednesday – not trying to confuse you, but this is a celebrity / eBay post).

About the Designer Bag: 2003 Spring Collection by Japanese designer Takashi Murakami is sold out everywhere and discontinued! This bag is guaranteed 100% authentic. This Louis Vuitton Cherry Blossom is said to be “99% new, never used”, but as you can see from the picture the leather part has started to turn into beautiful honey color.

About the Seller: This seller does not sell fake designer bags. All of the photos show every detail so that you know what signs to look for as to purchase an authentic item. This seller stands behind their items and you are very welcomed to check their feedback for credibility. As you can see from thehuangfamily’s feeback, some of the buyers took the bags into Louis Vuitton to get authenticated and the answer is always “Yes, it is authentic.”

This made me laugh. I was browsing around when I can across this retro pic of Rachel McAdams (with a Louis Vuitton Cherry Blossom pouchette). I totally forgot that she starred in this movie with opposite of Lindsay Lohan, about Cady Heron (Lohan) a new girl that is a hit with the Plastics (the A-list girl clique at her new school), until she makes the mistake of falling for Aaron Samuels (Bennett), the ex-boyfriend of alpha Plastic Regina George (McAdams). Also within that same year filmed a totally opposite role in the movie “The Notebook”.

Tada! A new eBelle5.com! Well this isn’t the complete new site. I was very impatient and decided to launch it before adding all the new additions. (Talk about impatient, a completely new site in a couple days). Don’t worry the new features will be up soon.

I have come to the conclusion that I have to be the most annoying girlfriend ever. Whenever I come up with a new idea I add it to the long ever-growing list of projects my boyfriend needs to design up for me. A couple nights ago, late night around 11:pm I got the insane idea that I wanted to completely revamp eBelle5. At that moment we got to work! Part of the reason for the new design was because I browse it so frequently per day that I get bored of the design and I am a perfectionist and I love change. To me the design of this bag blog is like a handbag style – needs to change with the season. Eek, my boyfriend did not like hearing that. If you have been coming here since when Bag Bliss first started back in October of 2005 then you may have noticed that this is the 3th completely brand new site that Bag Bliss has seen. 3 sites in 10 months? Yea, I think better stick with this one.

About this Designer Bag: Done in a nice pale pink color, this fine vintage Chanel bag has a chain shoulder strap and the Chanel logo prominently displayed on the front. It measures about 11 inches long and about 7 1/2 inches tall. The chain measures about 17 inches from the top of the bag to the top of the chain. This is a vintage piece and it has a small interior pocket, a zippered interior pocket and a flap closure front. Quite elegant! There is some light wear, and the front has a spot of wear on front left side. There is some discoloration due to age (mainly noticeable when the front flap is lifted), and some wear on the corners as well. For a vintage piece, this hand bag is in excellent condition!

Marc Jacobs | Waist Pack | View!
Fanny pack anyone? Not too much to describe here, this MJ bag is pretty self-explanatory. It’s the Marc Jacobs waist bag available in chocolate or black leather.

This isn’t one of Marc Jacobs designs that I would run to the store to snatch – I would save the $228

Dolce & Gabbana (right)| Leopard Print Tote | On Sale $498 (reg $995) | View!
Trend Alert for fall: Neiman Marcus says if you accessorize with Animal prints you can’t go wrong. I don’t think this is one trend I will follow for fall / winter. When I think of animal prints like leopard, cheetah, or python, I get the image of the spring / summer and safari trips.

Here are a couple Dolce & Gabbana bags via Neiman Marcus that I found in the clearance section, so if you want to follow this trend but are on a budget then check out these bags.
