When I was about 8 years old, not only were backpacks extremely popular, but you would literally see them perched on the back of almost every female in the U.S. If I remember correctly, mine was some sort of red cowboy print with red leather trimming, not so cute. Now in my early twenties I wonder, despite the stigma attached to the backpack do designer backpacks have more credibility? The answer I have concluded is a big fat no!

Last week I went to visit my Aunt and being that I’m a fashion junkie my eyes immediately darted to the beauty of a bag that she was carrying. I oohhhed and aahhed and marvelled at how gorgeous it was. Being that my Aunt isn’t a designer freak I initially presumed that it was a bargain from the high street, but after feeling the quality I couldn’t believe it was possible.

I stumbled upon Karen Millen for the first time in the U.S. two years ago. While rummaging through a consignment shop, I fell for Millen’s alligator textured, rhinestone outfitted clutch. After spending about $50, this immaculate piece and I were meant to be together. Ever since this purchase, I have significantly upgraded my wardrobe with Karen Millen pieces, both clothing and accessories.

This is interesting. The classic Chanel bag has been given a metallic makeover. Right now, you’ve voted that the pursuit of the Chanel bag is tough to justify but you still want one. How about this version? Would you hand over your cash for this baby? I’m not sure I would, but I do love it. This metallic calfskin alternative to the timeless original is available exclusively at Chanel’s new concept boutique on Robertson Boulevard. So if you have to have it, then depending on where you live, its likely you’ll have to jump on a plane asap! $2495 available at the Chanel Boutique, 125 North Robertson Boulevard
