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.

Hermes | Blue Jean Birkin Handbag
The creation of the Hermes Birkin came to light back in the early ’80′s when Jane Birkin was booked to sit next to the Hermes designer on a flight. Some time during the flight she (Jane Birkin) accidentally spilled the contents of her “too small” bag onto the Hermes designer . . . which gave the designer the idea to create a more ideal spacious bag for the everyday woman – Tada, we have the Hermes Birkin. The first Hermes Birkin was created in 1984 in Paris and later launched in America.

If you want to get your hands on a Hermes Birkin, then be prepared to wait. The waiting list is up to 2 years, unless you take a different route – eBay or CreateursDeluxe.

Jimmy Choo | Woven Calf Oversized Clutch | View!
Dressed up in gold painted woven calf leather, trimmed with smooth equally shinny leather piping, and topped off with (you guessed it) gold toned hardware. The Jimmy Choo clutch comes with a detachable thin chain link for the ‘strap on’ or ‘strap off’ type of occasion – shoulder bag or an oversized clutch, the decision is yours. Measurements of this clutch, well the name pretty much says it all – oversized 9.5″ height X 15″ length X 1.5″ width, safe to say you don’t need to leave anything at home.

This Jimmy Choo woven gold clutch is not completely new but not ignored. Lately it has been photographed on the shoulders of a dozen or more celebrities, one of which is pictured below. Lindsay Lohan I couldn’t resist posting one of her Halloween costumes.

Lindsay Lohan’s designer bag has been identified (pictured below)! Really I had no idea whatsoever who the designer was, well that was until an awesome member in the forum identified it as Pauric Sweeney’s python handbag. Oh so lovely!

Via BrownsFashion.com you can spot Pauric Sweeney Python handbag with the retail price of $2,137.50. Exterior: Decorated in deep chocolate brown snakeskin with whipstitch woven edge shoulder handles and ornamented with a tassel hangs from the handle with silver cubes on the end. Interior: A brown and black check rests on a white background interior lining. There is a one zip pocket along with two other open pockets for easy compartment accessibility.

The bag pictured above is the same python purse that Lindsay was spotted with, only difference being the size.

Chloe handbag | Spring 2007 Runway
No ‘It Bag’ from Chloe on the spring runway. Nothing to rave about, the bags were pretty simple (slightly boring) which comes as a huge disappointment for all the Chloe fans who had the high hopes that label would have continued their streak of producing covetable accessories. Darn! Can’t wait until Paulo Melim from Marni shows up next season.

The clothes and shoes (ohh the shoes) were nice but nothing from the handbag collection stood out for me, or even caused me to take a second glance – I found myself saying ‘eh’ on almost every photo.

Celebrity | Lindsay Lohan | Chloe Handbag
Not even released yet and Lindsay Lohan has been photographed all over Hollywood with the new Chloe bag that made its debut on the spring 2007 runway.

Zac Posen | Beatrice Quilted Bag | View!
The designer handbag has been identified! A while back I posted in tBF the pictures of handbag toting celebrities Lindsay Lohan and Beyonce Knowles with this tote and I had no idea of what bag it was. Well, I had a strong idea that it was by Zac Posen but I couldn’t locate the bag anywhere online, until today when I was browsing Neiman Marcus – lo and behold I discovered the Zac Posen Beatrice Quilted Bag. I know (I know), I always say that I hate tassels, and all that dangling stuff that you just want to snip off. Well my view has completely changed for this bag. Right now this tassel bag is available in black or white for the retail price of $1,450.

Balenciaga | Balenciaga Arena Matelasse Bags
Let’s see, there is the Balenciaga Twiggy, Box, Purse, Weekender (aka Voyager), Work (aka Office or Large), City (aka Medium), First (aka Small, Classique, Le Dix, Lariat). Well, that’s not all of the Balenciaga designer handbag collections out there, but that’s the basic list of all the popular styles that you see on the arms of the handbag obsessed. Pictured above is the Limited Edition Balenciaga Medium City Matelasse (french for quilted) Arena for fall / winter 2006.

The Balenciaga Arena Matelasse bag retails from $1,600 and up, imo worth every penny.

Celebrity | Lindsay Lohan | Balenciaga Handbag
Harry Morton said farewell and goodbye to Lindsay Lohan. Like most relationships in the spotlight, it didn’t last. Unless this is another Lohan publicity stunt with the purpose to get the focus off of them they can run off and get married without the paparazzi marking their calendar (nobody would be expecting that – just a thought). Pictured above is Lindsay strolling down the streets of Notting Hill, London on two separate occasions while sporting the same dazzling accessories. My favorite accessory pictured above is her new Balenciaga handbag from the fall / winter 2006 collection and her Yves Saint Laurent scarf (ooh aww very pretty). I also love her flats and bracelet (thinking Hermes – easier to tell on the bigger photos)
