Free Gift with Purchase via KarenKooper.com

The day after Thanksgiving sales have begun < *wahoo* > , it is now officially the beginning of the Holiday season. Wahoo!

Black Friday has been declared historically to be one of the busiest retail shopping days of the year. This is why I am sure most of you are not sitting at your computer right now, but rather out-and-about enjoying some super sales. What am I doing? Well I’m indoors for the time being, waiting until the traffic dies down. I can not stand traffic or lines. Uhg, seems like such a waste of time. I know-I know, by the time I drag myself out of the house everything is going to be out of stock. Well if that was to happen then I do know that Karen Kooper has a sweet deal waiting for me (and you). . . While Supplies lasts, with your purchase of $150 or more via KarenKooper.com you get free Marc Jacobs gift.

Additionally, get free shipping and $25.00 off any handbag with Promotion Code: 211270075

Purse Deal | Kenneth Cole | Jet Stream Hobo | View!
When I think of ‘designer handbags’ Kenneth Cole doesn’t pop to mind, but this bag is pretty cute and is currently marked down on sale for $334.60. Hum, a deal or a pass?

The bag by Kenneth Cole is called Jet Stream, a small (17″ L x 15 1/2″ H x 7 1/2″) hobo with the KC signature rivet detailing. The bag above is not identical to the one the Jessica Biel is sporting (below), however the bags do belong to the same family and are basically identical except for the size and a few minor details such as extra zippers, compartments, ect.

Celebrity | Lindsay Lohan | Photo from GQ
Finally, Lindsay has stepped into the world of high-end fashion advertisements. Remember back last year the rumor was that Lindsay was suppose to model for luxury house Chanel but nothing went through, then a short time later she was to model for Louis Vuitton but nothing came of that, then Marc Jacobs wanted her for his advertisements but then again the deal didn’t go though.

Well, lucky Lindsay has finally made it. Lindsay Lohan, the ex-Dooney and Bourke model has scored a modeling contract with a high-end designer Miu Miu. No rumor, apparently the deal is set and she will be the face of the Miu Miu ad campaigns come spring 2007.

According to WWD:
“Miu Miu has tapped the teen queen as the face of its spring 2007 ad campaign. A Prada spokesman confirmed Lohan is shooting the campaign in London over the weekend.”

About the picture above: GQ’s 11th annual Men of the Year issue. Also, do you notice that band she always wears on her arm. . .sorry, Lindsay Lohan fans but the rumor is that she is a cutter.

Balenciaga SS 07 Runway | Gold Leggings
$100,000 for leggings? Sad but true. Remember those gleaming bronze and shinny gold metallic robot leggings designed by Nicolas Ghesquiere worn at the Balenciaga S/S 2007 runway? Well the price to get your hands on a pair is $100k, by special order.

Even if I had $100k laying around I doubt I would spend it on leggings, but rather on a black Hermes 30cm bag made of Australian crocodile with diamond-encrusted hardware and the vibrant blue Zac Posen Alexia bag in crocodile.
