COACH HANDBAGS CARLY!

Guys! Here’s a gift that will make your diva happy, Coach handbags, Carly to be specific. Don’t wait until the last minute to try to find out where to buy Coach handbags if you want to pick up that Signature Carly at an inexpensive price.

Don’t get caught red handed and gift free or suffer the consequences! Or worse yet, put your shopping off until the last minute and be forced to pay full retail. Even the most seasoned procrastinators know that once you know the particular style of Coach handbag that you need, the key is to cruise the outlet stores and auctions.

The preferred styles and colors in Coach purses
can shift as often as we change our lingerie so always check to see what is considered to be fashionable (read: hot) in the designer purse line. One minute this desired item could be a duffle and the next a messenger. At the time of this article your best bet in Coach handbags, Carly.

You heard it here, my friend. Signature Carly Coach purses and bags are one of the most sought after in the entire line at the moment. That may sound very simple until you see that they come in suede leather as well as tonal fabrics. Coach handbags, Carly included, come in many different colors as well. Red, blue, brown and black to name a few. And lest we forget there are Coach baby bags in pink and blue.

This is where you have to do a little homework to personalize your gift. Match your Coach handbags, Carly or otherwise, to your friend’s wardrobe and shoes. Take the time to dig through her closet and see what she likes, what is lacking or what kind of designer purse that she can’t live without. Not that everything in her wardrobe has to match perfectly, but chances are if there is no article of clothing in blue to be found a navy or pastel blue Coach handbag,Carly or any other style will be appreciated. The same rule of thumb goes for other colors. Another tip is that if she has no suede shoes; nix the suede leather patchwork purse.

Your may even find a few knockoffs in the closet while you are on your search and destroy mission. Replica or inspired Coach handbags are cheap and some are high quality items that don’t try to pass themselves off as the real deal. However, I would only buy an authentic coach signature Carly handbag, purse or bag as a gift. There is just something cheesy about giving a fake Coach Carly purse as a gift unless it is specifically requested.

Believe me, the rewards will be worth the trouble.

FAITH HILL HAIRSTYLES and FASHIONS

I have to say this may be one of the best Faith Hill hairstyles yet? What do you think? The only thing that I do not like is how she was constantly batting at the bangs. It made me want to run for a bobby pin or barrette.

She apparently is making the rounds of the talk shows to promote her Christmas CD "Joy to the World" that has been in the stores since September or October of this year. I know, enough about the new CD, visitors to this celebrity fashion website want to know what she was wearing.

What do all the blonde celebrity beauties seem to be wearing this winter? Why something long, lean and basic black. Faith Hill was right in line with Reese Witherspoon who recently appeared on the same show. However, Faith went with opaque, black stockings or fashion tights which created a continuous, slimming line from her shoulders to her toes. Has anyone else noticed that celebrity pantyhose is becoming noticeably darker?

There were, however, two bright pops of color. One at the top of her lovely head which was no less than the crowning glory it was meant to be; the latest celebrity mom, Faith Hill approved, new hairstyles. The other was visible after Dave greeted her and she made her way to her seat by his desk. You guessed it, when she gracefully seated herself there was the signature flash of the bright red soles of designer shoes. Another celebrity wearing what appeared to be a pair of Christian Louboutin shoes.




Because of the black tights, ascertaining whether or not they were Louboutin slingbacks or peep toes was kind of tricky. But I believe that what she was wearing was a pair of platform pumps with closed toes and heel. This style is extremely popular with movie stars at the time because of the added height that the hidden platform (double platform?) gives them. Most ladies go for this style because it is so slimming. But why this blonde beauty would feel the need to cover her celebrity feet escapes me as she has one fine pair of celebrity legs. Faith Hill had absolutely no reason to search for footwear that made her look slim. Have you seen those Faith Hill bikini pictures? This is not a chick that needs help from the crew on "How to Look Good Naked."

CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN SLINGBACK SHOES

Who wouldn’t love to find a pair of the latest Christian Louboutin slingback shoes in that beautifully wrapped package that we saw lover boy hiding in the top of the closet? Even though we know in our heart of hearts that it is quite possibly another example of the men in our lives doing something that gives them great pleasure all the while claiming that they did it just to make us happy. Do you see where I’m coming from?



If that pair of Christian Louboutin double-platform slingbacks with the spike heels didn’t make his pulse race, would he have been so eager to rush out ahead of the discount sales and pay that expensive price? So what if he had ulterior motives for making sure your pretty toes were wrapped in the ultimate of designer footwear. You will reap the rewards at the cocktail or Christmas party when the men (and more than a few ladies) zoom in on your sexy feet in those Christian Louboutin slingback shoes or a brand that is comparable .

Why are the Louboutin slingbacks so popular? The answer to that is that there is only a thin strap that breaks the long, lean lines of your leg rather than a fully enclosed heel. Spike heels do an amazing job of lengthening and shaping your calves, but many feel that the strappy, near naked heel is so much nicer.

Plus, it’s a sad fact that every girl’s toes are not perfect. Even with a professional pedicure and the best nail polish on the planet, some toes are best left unexposed. The open heel camouflages the fact that we might be hiding a part of ourselves that may be somewhat lacking in beauty or total perfection. A good rule of thumb among fashion advisors is when in doubt, find something beautiful to wear on top of our flaws.

Christian Louboutin Numero Prive Glitter Shoes

WHAT’S HOT FOR COCKTAIL PARTIES AND THE HOLIDAYS

When it comes to sparkling crystals and black satin, Christian Louboutin slingback shoes have got you covered. There are styles with square toes with an elegant bow decorating the toe as well as slimming pointed toes in ivory or winter white that would be stunning with a dress or handbag in silver. If black satin, gold and silver glitter are too tame for the wild child in you, there is a multi-colored style know as Numero Prive Glitter Shoes that are an explosion of rainbow colors with a slim metallic gold spike heel and platform soles.


The bottom line is that if you can find a more exquisitely designed pair of slingbacks than Christian Louboutin slingback shoes, by all means enlighten us. Especially if you can find a comparable pair offered at knockoff prices.

CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN SHOES

I was pondering how celebrities keep the soles of Christian Louboutin shoes
red after seeing more than a few of those slingback wonders flashing their shiny red soles to the camera on recent talk shows. Not that I actually own a pair, but common sense tells me that there is no way to keep them perfect and unblemished unless you avoid walking outside with them. Only wear your Louboutin shoes when you will be inside walking on carpet or suffer the consequences of scuffed designer soles.

WHAT’S THE BIG DEAL?

Some of you may wonder why everyone is making such a fuss over Christian Louboutin shoes. To those inquisitive soles without a clue, I would have to ask, “Have you seen these shoes?” In my opinion, which is shared by many celebrities, they are one of the most beautifully designed examples of lady’s footwear available in boutiques today.

HOW MUCH DO THEY COST?

This depends on whether you want a pair of espadrilles or a pair of peep toe boots covered in luscious suede leather fringe from your ankles to your knees. The former can be found at one of the upscale retail stores for five hundred dollars, give or take a few bucks. The latter is approximately eighteen hundred plus tax which is cheap to those who never thought they would find a combination peep toe pump and knee boot.

If you are a hip and savvy shopper and know your way around in the world of online auctions, you know that you can cut those prices in half or even less if you have no qualms about buying a used pair in good condition. So what if your Christian Louboutin shoes been worn once or twice when you can do the same and be so fashionable at a deep discount?


WHERE TO BUY

My favorite place to window shop for the latest styles in Christian Louboutin shoes is Neiman Marcus. They can also be found at Barneys, Bergdorf-Goodman and on Ebay.


CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN KNOCKOFFS

Wherever you find expensive designer shoes, purses and clothes a line of fakes will follow. That’s the drawback of taking advantage of those tempting discount prices in an online auction; you never know if the item will be a knockoff, a replica or whatever nice name they are using to camouflage the shame of counterfeit merchandise.

It’s hard to tell what you are buying at times as (allegedly) there are sellers that post pictures of authentic Christian Louboutin shoes in the auction description, but mail out knockoffs (often in an authentic looking Christian box like that makes up for the deception) that always fall short of the real thing. You can reduce your risk by shopping with a trusted seller who has built a good reputation that is backed up by a high number of positive customer feedbacks. However, the best way to know that you are getting genuine Christian Louboutin shoes for your money is to shop at the Louboutin Boutique in Beverly Hills or Las Vegas.

MOST POPULAR STYLES

This information changes as often as you change your outfits and purses, but at the time of this article, Louboutin slingbacks are highly sought after. But the truth is that his pumps (with spike heels and without) never go out of style. The same is true for flats and sandals with wedge heels.

ADVICE

Celebrities have unlimited budgets and don’t have to worry about the longevity of a particular style. The average fashionista diva such as myself has to calculate how much bang I will be getting for my bucks so I limit my purchases of Christian Louboutin shoes to classic styles like the DECOLLETE peep toe pumps I picked up for less than five hundred dollars from a reputable Ebay seller. Even at that low discount sale price, you can bet that I will wear them till the red soles are no more.

REESE WITHERSPOON's BLACK DRESS

Reese Witherspoon's black dress that she wore on David Letterman's show last night just knocked me out. I did a search for some pictures and found one from a few days ago taken at the premiere of Warner Brothers holiday film 'Four Christmases' and she was wearing a similar outfit. The neckline of the black strapless dress is the same in the earlier pics, but there are some subtle differences in last night's black, fitted cocktail dress and one that I admired on Letterman including a more figure flattering fit. The lacy slingback peeptoe heels were an improvement on the black ribbon tie shoes that she was wearing a few days ago as well.

Reese Witherspoon's black dress is topped off with a feminine chin length hairstyle that in combination with the smoky eye shadow makes her lovely eyes really shine.

Are those real diamonds in the earrings and large pendant of the necklace? Anybody care to name the number of carats contained in the jewelry? The pendant almost looks like an antique, but it could be a replica. If it is, I would love to know the designer, especially if the stones are simulated so that those of lesser means might be able to afford them! Wouldn't it be lovely if celebrities would give paparazzi that are taking their pictures handouts listing the brand names of the clothes, shoes and purses they are wearing?

SEQUIN DRESSES

Some women use food to lure men. But why work so hard when
sequin dresses
are so much more alluring than even the most fragrant and flashy dishes? We have been informed that the way to a man’s heart is through his over bloated abdomen but believe me when I tell you there are other options. Whoever the artist was that produced those painted vintage signs that accomplished cooks display in their kitchens announcing that "Loving Don’t Last but Cooking Do" or some such nonsense did not have much fashion sense nor did he have a clue as to how to turn a man on.

He or she obviously does not realize the effect that slinky, black sequin dresses, purses and spike heels with the right gold jewelry can have on a man. How gratifying it is when your date picks you up to escort you to a party that he probably was not looking forward to attending smack dab in the middle of football season only to see his eyeballs pop out on their stems when you answer the door.

Savvy chicks know to spray a cloud of his favorite perfume to walk through around fifteen minutes or so before he is due to arrive so that it will have time to settle on their bodies and mellow. When the door is opened, the first sensory treat is his favorite scent and then the visual delight of yours truly in scintillating sequins and beads.

SEQUIN DRESSES

There’s very little to say on this subject except I never met one that I didn’t like. When I was little my mother said when she went to the mall and took a stroll through the holiday and cocktail outfits, that I insisted that she find some children’s dresses that were sparkling and festive.

Throughout my high school years, the number of sparkles and beads may have fluctuated according to what was considered to be fashionable at the time. But you can bet that the number of sequins on my clothes pushed the limits. Whether the occasion called for a formal prom dress or mini dresses I wanted sparkle and dangling beads then and I still want them today.

SEQUIN PURSES, BELTS and More

A beaded evening purse has a way of transforming a plain black shift into something memorable. Black dresses accessorized with the right earrings and strappy sandals go from the office to the cocktail party in a flash. Never discount the power of a purse with sequins, sparkling beads and metal discs when it comes to cheap, holiday party clothes.

In closing, please don’t think that I’m mocking those who like to cook a good meal for their man. I just think that he will appreciate it even more if you are wearing one of your favorite sexy black sequin dresses and shoes to set the mood while you are setting the table.

Sarah Palin Turkey Video

The Sarah Palin turkey video may be an indication that we have not seen the last of the satire surround the lovely Governor of the great State of Alaska just because the race to the White House has come to a close. She states in the video that a little bit of levity is a good thing. I wonder if her sense of humor stretches to the point of being alright about being set up to be interviewed in what appeared to be a turkey slaughterhouse while granting one bird amnesty.

I don't know about you, but because of the Sarah Palin turkey video, I may boycott turkey this year. It may take longer than a week to get a taste for turkey and dressing after watching the film. That may sound hypocritical to some, but I'm of the out of sight out of mind mentality. I prefer not to see where my meat comes from. Governor Palin on the other hand has been reported to be a hunter she is more than likely not the squeamish type. Getting up close and personal with the butchering process may not turn her stomach as it does mine.

Seeing this pic of Tina Fey panning for the camera at the 2008 Museum Gala held at the American Museum of Natural History one can't help but wonder is she relieved that the whole Sarah Palin thing is over in time for Thanksgiving turkey or does she miss all of the attention she got via the vice-presidential hopeful's look alike engagements? I wonder if she will be approached to give a satirical representation of the Sarah Palin turkey video?

She had reportedly mentioned in a joking way that when SNL was attempting to contact her to do the Sarah Palin act on the show that she was dodging their calls. This is not surprising as she probably has more than enough on her plate with her successful sitcom. However, I'm glad they finally were able to schedule her for the SNL appearance as it was without a doubt one of the best episodes ever!

In this pic, Tina has lost the signature eyeglasses and therefore much of the faux Palin personality. I wonder if it was as easy to drop the accent that she had perfected in her Tina Fey as Sarah Palin role? She had her speech patterns down pat and knew just how deeply to accentuate the telltale touchpoints without going into comedic overload which would have undermined the effects of the performance.

So, has the Sarah Palin turkey video convinced you to become a vegetarian?

Ashlee Simpson Baby Born in Time for the Holidays

One celebrity couple has an excellent reason to give thanks; Ashlee Simpson’s baby is here just in time for the holidays! I can think of no better reason to celebrate the season than with a precious newborn baby. If the bundle of joy happens to belong to one of my favorite celebrity moms it is without a blessing worthy of thanks.

The reported facts on Ashlee Simpson baby, etc. are as follows:

1. Thursday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles
2. The baby boy is named Bronx Mowgli Wentz
3. He weighed in at a perfect baby weight of seven pounds plus eleven ounces and measured twenty and one half inches in length

I have not read the rhyme and reason behind the name Bronx, nor the middle name Mowgli. There was some mention that proud daddy, Pete Wentz, informed Ryan Seacrest they had been advised by a friend to select a name that would be appropriate regardless of whether there was a career as a rock and roll star or a seat in the United States Senate in the newborn’s future. No tips or clues as to who this secret friend was that offered this tidbit of sage advice, but you have to admit that he shows wisdom in the process of choosing names for babies.

In my opinion this celebrity couple will be interesting to watch. They have just the right mix of off the wall originality as was displayed in their gothic wedding ceremony and the rumors that their baby’s nursery theme might be based on the movie "Nightmare Before Christmas" and thoughtful sentimentality.

On the traditional side, Ashlee Simpson has been quoted as saying that her pregnancy was one of the most amazing experiences of her life and that she was focused on a healthy pregnancy and baby. She managed to keep a very low profile during those months and we might assume this was to reduce the stress that public appearances put on celebrities. Another nod to tradition was the recent Winnie the Pooh baby shower.

Many find the flip flopping from one camp to the other perplexing. However, I find it captivating, healthy and can’t wait for the first installment of the Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson baby pictures. Will they do a big spread in a major entertainment magazine and donate the proceeds to charity? Or will they take the more personal, private route and make us all suffer? It will be interesting to see what this intriguing couple plus one has up their sleeve.

JENNIFER WESTFELDT - SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS

I would love to hear your opinion on actress Jennifer Westfeldt’s royal blue dress. Could the number of fabric rosettes that are encircling the scoop neck of the dress and slipping over the shoulder gilding the lily a bit on the excessive side? Or are the embellishments a fitting and suitable frame for this blonde haired beauty’s lovely face?

Could we have done without the continuation of the swirling fabric down the front of the dress (which with the covered belt could almost be called a modified shirtwaist style) and around the knee length hemline?

Frankly, the dress is lovely but the minute I laid eyes on these pictures of Jennifer Westfeldt something seemed “off” to me. The color worked, the decorative touches that I mentioned in the previous paragraphs were not too heavy or out of place and the overall look was okay. So, what was it that kept bugging me?

Dark black tights have been overdone as fall fashion trends in my opinion. This outfit would have been much prettier (again in my opinion) with nude stockings, but without a doubt the black hose were fashionable. But then I zoomed in to get a better look at her black peep toe shoes and what became evident to my surprise was that the stockings were not silky black, but black fishnet tights or stockings!

I love fishnet tights or stockings, but do they work with this dress? Somehow I’m having a difficult time trying to mesh the curves of the delicate dress that Jennifer Westfeldt is wearing so gracefully with the diamond shaped patterns in her stocking no matter how sexy men consider them to be.

So what do you say? Do the black fishnets make or break this look?

MARCIA CROSS - Proof That Women with Red Hair Rock!

Marcia Cross may not have natural red hair, but unlike most women with red hair she knows how to work it. She has a keen eye for what colors to wear with her hair color that include just the right shades of green and as seen in this picture, lavender.

Her porcelain skin and eyes are those seen on red headed women who came by it the natural way as indeed she may have earlier in life. Who cares if she gets a little help from her hair stylist? Believe me when I tell you that Marcia Cross' long red hair could be on any number of women without those spectacular results. I, myself, have tried Loreal hair color Feria shades of red and auburn with less than attractive results. My skin color was suited for dark red dye nor the light strawberry blonde look.

These Marcia Cross photos show her long red hair as a carrot orange color which may have been due to the sunlight at the time the picture was taken because at other times its a much deeper, richer shade. You have to hand it to her, not many modern ladies are bold enough to venture into that area of the color spectrum. Even fewer could look as beautiful as this celebrity does after the deed is done. It's a sad fact that all women with red hair are not pretty. But I'm confident that nobody will deny that Marcia Cross is drop dead gorgeous with a stylish look beyond compare.
