My new fedora inspired by Kourtney Kardashian on Kourtney & Kim Take New York last year

Mossimo Felt Fedora With Feather Detail - Brown $14.99

I finally got the feather fedora from Target that is ONLY $14.99 and I can't believe I waited so long! It's such great quality and after looking at the hat on me and looking at my old Kourtney post I think it's spot on!  The only thing it's missing is the GG logo:)  Can't be mad at that!  Great gift idea...or one to get for you while you are shopping for everyone else:)
I'm excited to see what Kourtney will be rocking on this season and what she'll be rocking now that she's announced she's preggers with her second kid.  Stay tuned for looks that inspire!  Who knows, maybe she'll sign a deal for maternity clothes like Nicole Richie...here's crossing my fingers!

Extra shopping tip!

I was looking at trying out these K-DASH by Kardashian Riding Pants with Faux Leather Detail...but, wasn't sure at $60...but, was just checking out Kourtney's site and saw that they have a deal for 40% off with a coupon!  How can I say no??:)  Get the info for the coupon here.  Coupon expires 12/3.

K-DASH by Kardashian Riding Pants with Faux Leather Detail $59.75

I wish I could help GUCCI celebrate their anniversary by buying their amaze striped handbag...but, since I don't see myself affording it right now I'm waiting for the Tommy Hilfiger striped handbag to make it to TJ Maxx...will let you know once I find it!

Dreamy Designer Bags: Bags Keep Getting Better!

Back in December, I wrote about bags that look just like the bags we dream of, but maybe can't afford--like, Hermes...these gems are only $100 each!

The other day, I was excited to find a new tote with a fab image on the front from a blog called, Fashion Diary---your dream bag (Labels for Less)...from Chanel to LV for only $80!  How could you go wrong?

The New Jackie Bag by GUCCI

I was so excited when I saw that there was a new Jackie bag by GUCCI...but, it seems that the recession has not put a twist on the price of the handbags....every style is over $2,000....how many people are carrying these?

Sometimes Having Something That Resembles Is Just Enough

I wore this belt in Portland a couple of weeks ago and everyone was asking about it...I thought it was sold out...but, surfing for a belt on Target I just found it....of course, I have to share...my Gucci look-a-like is only $9.99...catch it while you can and rock this style forever:)

Sale, Sale, Sale

I was sooo excited when I read on Daily Sugar (kind of like Daily Candy---Has anyone noticed changes to the emails since Comcast took over???) that Gucci was having a sale on their site...now, even though I can't afford anything Gucci right now:), it is still exciting (and I guess a little scary as well that designers like Gucci are having this BIG of a sale on their site) to see a designer like Gucci having a sale and on good pieces...so check it out.

Speaking of sales, Saks Fifth Avenues family and friend sales is going to be Oct. 16-19, so make friends fast:)  Just joking...kinda:)  Or, call up your friends and get the hook up!  It's worth it!  I would even say it is worth it to get a part-time, holiday position as a stock person to get the discounts...

I Dream of G's

I wish and dream of these G's...I need ideas on how to make some cash to get these...I am terrible I know...but, you can always dream, right???

Sad News: Steve & Barry Screaming Bankrupt...

What does that mean for our coveted Bitten line by SJP?  Companies like Sears are looking at buying the company...so we shall see what happens...it is interesting, in the WWD article about this, the company states that customers can't deal with prices going up to fix the bankruptcy problem because they are trying to deal with gas prices going up...so, why is it that Gucci, Chanel, LV and many other designer labels aren't fixing prices or dropping down?  I have a pair of Chanel sunglasses that I bought about 4 years ago for about $175 and now they cost more than $250...what gives?  The economy is not getting better?  Many say it is because the rich aren't affected and even if they are, they are keeping up image by still purchasing high end items without even looking at the price tag...I guess sometimes image is everything for people.

More on the matter from NY Post.

The Next LV

Ok, so, I love all of my previous LV purchases and gifts...and yes, I am interested in getting into the Gucci style of things...but, I was browsing eLuxury and have decided on my next LV purchases for the future:)

The Comparison

I want this...actually I drool over this...I think that a vintage Gucci handbag in red and green stripe will be my Birthday wish this year for 26...out of the LV and into the Gucci:)

not this...

No matter how much I LOVE NEW YORK and I will wear the I (heart) New York shirts out in NYC even if I look corny, but I cannot, carry a Gucci handbag with Gucci (hearts) NY and not get tired of it in less than a week...thoughts?
