If you enjoyed all of our recent Chanel cruise collection coverage check out this Chanel video courtesy of our friends over at Chanel! Yes, we have friends over there at the Holy Grail of fashion. Here's an inside look at the super star studded event that took place at the Santa Monica airport last Friday.

Some of my highlights:

  • A fun, and oh so true quote from the master himself: "...It's all about perfect traveling and a private jet is a part of perfect traveling if you ask me."
  • A insightful quote from Ali Larter, winner of Battle of the Chanel: Lohan vs. Larter: "...it's the creme de la creme...every girl wants to own a piece...I just think that when you put it on you feel as beautiful as you can be."
  • The runway door opens, the Chanel Line rolls in, and hello Chanel cruise!

Marc by Marc Jacobs Maxi Dress: Love It or Hate It?

Marc Jacobs is known for keeping his prints interesting and this Marc by Marc Jacobs Sara Stripe Patchwork Dress posted by SaraSmile in the Love It or Hate It?

Marc Jacobs is known for keeping his prints interesting and this Marc by Marc Jacobs Sara Stripe Patchwork Dress posted by SaraSmile in the Love It or Hate It? group is interesting alright! It took me a while to decide whether or not I like this maxi dress, but I think I'm veering towards "Love It!" I'm not normally a fan of patchwork but the stripes and the twisted knot at the bust are pretty unique. It would be perfect to wear to an outdoor bridal shower. What do you think?

Britney Spears

How Would YOU Wear It? Britney Spears

Well, we started the day with some stellar fashion, and we must end the day with some not-so-stellar fashion.




Well, we started the day with some stellar fashion, and we must end the day with some not-so-stellar fashion. 'Tis fashion!

From the looks of this outfit, Britney is in a very confused state, though that is not that shocking. Her top half - the large gold earrings, thick headband, snug black top and gold purse - looks like it's on its way to clubbing. Her bottom half, bright blue sporty shorts, looks like it's on its way to the gym. Why the dual personalities, Britney?

I'd have saved all the items in the top half for a night out and would have thrown on a simple, white tank and a sportier tote bag.

How would YOU wear it?

The Look for Less: Marc Jacobs Plaid Shopping Bag

My all-time fave designer Marc Jacobs came out with his own version of the red plaid nylon shopping bag earlier in the year.






My all-time fave designer Marc Jacobs came out with his own version of the red plaid nylon shopping bag earlier in the year. But did you know he was most probably inspired by the original $2 Chinatown nylon plaid shopping bags? Needless to say, Marc is the one who made it cool to carry one of these puppies to the grocery store, or on your coffee run. But is it really worth paying a fortune for a nylon bag when you can get it for under $5?

Celebrity Style: Victoria Beckham

It is so refreshing to see Victoria in a softer, more laid-back look.

It is so refreshing to see Victoria in a softer, more laid-back look. Here she is out shopping and she looks the most approachable I think I've ever seen her. Her look is quite Michael Kors safari-esque and pretty easy to put together - and I know some of you have a long lost leather skirt somewhere in the back of your closets!

Here's the situation: your boss sends you a calendar invite to lunch. This is sort of out of nowhere and you don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing. Yikes.
