Suri Cruise Style: Salvatore Ferragamo Sofia Mini Bag

I love this. Birthday Girl Jennifer Love Hewitt celebrating her 31st Birthday with friends. Can you guess the theme?Dressed in a Lady GaGa-inspired look, the birthday bash was complete with her closest friends minus boyfriend Jamie Kennedy, plus her everyday favorite go-to purse, the Louis Vuitton Monogram Speedy. Honestly, I would have went with something a little bit more outrageous (in a good way) to go with her spunky 80′s ish outfit. Possibly a clutch by Alexander McQueen? Bag by Betsey Johnson? Just not the classic Louis Vuitton monogram — Jennifer you’re killing the classic appeal.Find Louis Vuitton handbags for a steal. Authentic Louis Vuitton Speedy’s can be found on auction powerhouse, eBay (speedy page). Be aware of the fakes though! Get them authenticated over at TheBagForum!picture: The Celebrity City

When I was three, the most fabulous gift my parents bought me was a battery operated Power Wheels pink Barbie Jeep, and boy was I grateful for that. As the years when by, I grew out of my “first vehicle” and no more attention it received. When your parents are Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, your lifestyle consists of pricey gifts and luxuries practically everyday. Check out Little Miss Suri Cruise and the latest accessory to hit her toy box. The pintsize celebrity tot was photographed in daddy’s arms carrying a miniature sized Sofia bag by Salvatore Ferragamo. Where does Suri get her fabulous style from? We’re pointing fingers at Fashionista momma Katie Holmes of course; just take a look at how she’s sporting the original Sofia satchel in arms as well.Whether you agree or disagree on a three year old owning her very own $850 designer handbag, you simply can’t deny the fact that Suri Cruise is absolutely adorable and we might just be a little bit jealous!

Jimmy Choo Charity Project Pep Clutch

Do any of you ladies remember the Jimmy Choo Project Pep Tote? My good ol’ buddy Marissa wrote about it back in October.To be honest, I felt as though the bag had been ripped on a bit too harshly. After all, the bag was produced for the purpose of benefiting the Elton John AIDS Foundation.Admittedly, the Jimmy Choo Project Pep Tote is a bit flashy and loud. It is definitely not for the faint of heart. But from what I was reading in the blog comments section, it appeared that there were quite a few people out there that liked the bag and felt that it was donating to a good cause. But what if you liked the bag, but you thought the collage look was just a little too over-the-top for everyday use? Well fear not, my friends! The Jimmy Choo Project Pep Collection also included a clutch! This lovely piece features a montage of colorful prints and images, including an adorable depiction of faux badge buttons on the back side. I really like the Jimmy Choo Project Pep Clutch because it is spunky and fun. And since it is much smaller than a tote, its wacky print doesn’t seem quite so overpowering. However, I would definitely suggest this as a nighttime-only bag!Find the Jimmy Choo Charity Project Pep Clutch: Net-a-Porter, Luisaviaroma!The clutch retails for approximately $615, but remember 25% of the proceeds will be going to the Elton John AIDS Foundation and will help women in South Africa to receive treatment for Post Exposure Prophylaxis.The Chat: projet pep!

Help my bag has fallen!An unfortunate situation. While on her way to attend a party at The Whisper Lounge in L.A., curvaceous socialite, Kim Kardashian dropped her designer clutch! And of course, rather than bend over in her skin tight mini leopard print dress (which the paparazzi would have a field day with), she yelled for help. Moments later, a staff member came to the rescue.images: splash
