Lily Allen Style: Chanel Classic Flap Bag in Cobalt Blue

Lily Allen Style: Chanel Classic Flap Bag in Cobalt Blue
Can you guess the English pop singer and writer spotted getting off the escalators? Why it’s no other than Miss Lily Allen. Known for her catchy tunes and her controversial actions, I’ve learned that most people either love her or dislike her. Miss Allen is quite the outspoken celebrity, making headlines as she’s known for showing up intoxicated to events and stating negative remarks over other celebrities. Besides her wild side, she’s also known for forming quite a relationship with large fashion designers including Karl Lagerfeld and Chanel. With that said, its no surprise that the pop star is spotted around town carrying a beautiful Classic Flap bag in blue. Just take a look at how stunning her bag of choice is. Her outfit on the other hand is another story. A grey ‘LOVE’ sweater and funky bottoms look comfy but aren’t necessarily something I would pair with such a lovely bag. Although she doesn’t look bad, I guess that’s what makes all handbags in general great; you don’t automatically have to match them with the day’s outfit, although most Bagista’s do prefer to.

Listed above is the Navy Blue Chanel Classic Flap, which happens to be an awesome find I ran into via eBay. If you love Lily’s style, you can shop CHANEL goods at your local boutique or through: Authentic CHANEL on eBay

Paris Hilton Style: White Chanel Classic Flap

Paris Hilton Style: White Chanel Classic Flap
It’s Paris Hilton, digging through a Sony brand shopping bag while out and about in Cannes, France. What did the hotel heiress buy or receive? Who knows, but she sure doesn’t look too ecstatic over it. Dressed in a feminine floor length dress and in sparkly jewels with a shiny headband, Paris surely did complete her outfit with her extra lovely and classic white Chanel flap bag. I absolutely love her bag of choice, and with the spring/summer seasons in place right now, I’d nominate this as the perfect white handbag for the season. Everyone knows how versatile classic flaps are within their wardrobes as they make the perfect arm candies to wear dressed up or in casual wear, with your favorite tee and denims. The classic details of double chain link straps, luscious leather, interlocking C’s, and shiny silver hardware can be found on this piece.
Paris Hilton Style: White Chanel Classic Flap Bag
Ladies, what’s your input on Chanel’s Classic Flaps? Paris Hilton sure does love her Chanel, and if you seek to add her handbag to your collection, visit your nearest Chanel boutique or shop right from home through the World Wide Web via: Authentic Chanel on eBay

Daisy Fuentes inspired-by the Chanel Cabas Bag

Daisy Fuentes inspired-by Chanel Cabas Bag
Oh Daisy! When I visited Kohls today I was left in shock by your new remake of the popular, once referred to as the “Trash Bag” by Chanel. (The Trash Bag name was given by many in reference to the oversized unstructured high-gloss black patent vinyl version which debut back in Fall 2006).

Daisy isn’t the first (is it okay to refer to her as a designer?) to remake the design – Baby Phat, bebe, and forever21 are a few design brands that added the style to their collections. What’s the similarities? Not only is the oversize unstructured shape and cut of the bag identical, but check out the straps. Daisy replicated Chanel’s famous signature short chain hand-held straps.

side note:

Chanel Paris London Expandable Purse

Chanel Paris London Expandable Purse
Take a look at what is going on here. I see that the House of Chanel, had a beautiful and classic Expandable shoulder bag, but then someone decided to brutally killed it by adding distasteful tagging onto it. I’m visualizing this handbag minus the writings, and I seriously can’t see anything wrong with it. Its appearance was stunning, chic and sophisticated without the writings. I guess Chanel sought to add a true head-turner to its collection, as it’s nearly impossible to not turn and stare at something so loud.

These are the times that Avelle (the new BagBorrowSteal) comes to the rescue! If you’re a bit iffy over a style that you cant clearly decide whether it’s for you or not I suggest you Rent It! Avelle allows you to keep any of their bags for as long as you like, and if you love it, you can buy it right off of them.

This piece is available in gorgeous grey with Chanel’s infamous double chain and leather straps. Silver toned accents and the large zip compartment detail is great, as it allows even more room for your essentials. Ladies, what’s your input on this Chanel, yay or nay?
