The Bag To Have: Chanel Crocodile Quilted Chain Bags
Dear Chanel,
I walk into your store every time I'm in the neighborhood and every time I leave empty handed. Why, oh why, must you be so pricey? You know what?
The Bag to Have: Erva Chain Quilted Box Pouchette
When it comes to handbags, every gal should own at least one LBB (little black bag)! It's necessary for nights out when you don't feel like schlepping a humongous satchel. As long as it fits your lip gloss, ID and Blackberry, you're good to go.
eBay Find of the Week
Ah, the quilted bag. It's so synonymous with Chanel and so expensive. That is unless you get a nondesigner version that you don't try to pass off as real.
I Want This Wardrobe: Blair Waldorf
Leave it to Blair to bring fascinating Upper East Side style to NYU. While strolling the collegiate hallways, the former queen bee tempered a sexy gold lame dress by Oscar de la Renta with a ladylike coat — genius. The Gossip Girl then furthered her ferosh with a burgundy-quilted bag, gold bangles, and badass Alexandre Birman python booties.
eBay Find of the Week
Maria Sharapova is one of my style icons, so if she's donning the teensy chain bag trend, I will too. After some perusing, I found this Petite Quilted Chain Bag. I'm smitten with the warm camel tone and interesting chain and leather strap.

The Bag to Have: Marc Jacobs Mix Quilted Classic
I must admit my current obsession with Marc Jacobs handbags. His designs are decadent and timeless — what more can a girl ask for? My newest crush is this Marc Jacobs Mix Quilted Classic ($795).
Celebrity Style: Kim Kardashian
Last night, Kim Kardashian and boyfriend Reggie Bush had a date at the Staples Center, where the LA Lakers hit the court. Far from sporty, Kim looked modern chic in a gorgeous Vena Cava silk tank (on sale!) and an off-white leather jacket. Sticking with the neutral theme, she accessorized with a gray patent quilted bag and gray Christian Louboutin boots.
I Want This Wardrobe: Confessions of a Shopaholic, Rebecca Bloomwood
It takes a seasoned stylista like Rebecca Bloomwood to pull off this perfectly mismatched ensemble. Underneath her orange plaid Jerold cape lies a complicated yet cunning outfit. On top, Rebecca layered on a purple Danny button-down body suit with a luxurious Vince cashmere sweater.
Celebrity Style: Keira Knightley
The crème de la crème are showing up for Paris couture shows and that includes Keira Knightley at Chanel. Stay tuned for the glorious garb, but here's the Chanel devotee — with freshly blunted bangs — in a slim tweed skirt with red velvet trim, a sheer black top with brass buttons, and stacked black platform pumps. And, of course, Keira wore her black quilted Chanel bag.
