The Look for Less: Marc Jacobs Quilted Mayfair Handbag
I fell in lust with this Marc Jacobs Quilted Mayfair Handbag ($895) the moment I saw it. The classic quilting and gold chain handle are scrumptious but the price tag is a little more than what I want to eat.

Trend Alert: Quilted Handbags
Ever since Coco Chanel created the Chanel 2.55 in February 1955 quilted handbags have been en vogue. Recently it seems that more celebrities than ever have been showing off their trusty vintage style handbag and this weekend Lily Allen, Lindsay Lohan, and Nicola Roberts all paraded theirs. A Chanel quilted handbag will set you back around £1000 but there are plenty of other quilted bags on offer.
Look! We're Giving Away a Goldenbleu Audra Candy Convertible Clutch
It may appear that we're giving away one bag, per usual, but really, we're giving away two: a clutch and a coin purse! The latest beauty up for grabs, this Goldenbleu Audra Candy Convertible Clutch ($650), is one of the most versatile we've offered because it can be carried on the shoulder with the chain link handle and as a clutch sans the handle. Plus, the coin purse can be detached and used on its own.
Celebrity Style: Whitney Port in London
Last night, I was lucky enough to attend an exclusive screening of the first new episodes of The City and The Hills. Both series begin on MTV on 18th October and the first episodes are pretty explosive! Whitney Port attended the screening showing off her amazing model-like legs in gold tights and a cute white dress.
Love it or Hate it: Nicola Roberts in London
Girls Aloud star Nicola Roberts was spotted leaving her London hotel this weekend as she headed off to her gig at Wembley Stadium alongside Jay-Z and Coldplay. Nicola wore a monochrome ensemble with a quilted Chanel handbag with a cute hat perched on top of her head! What do you think of her casual look?
Chanel Fash-Mob Hits London
Unless you've been hiding somewhere that the internet doesn't reach for the past month, you'll be aware that the long-awaited Coco Before Chanel film is finally released across the UK today. The story of Gabriella "Coco'" Chanel's early life stars Audrey Tatou and is sure to impress, not least because of its Karl Lagerfeld guided wardrobe. Last night, the Queens of Vintage organised the first ever fash-mob event at London's St Pancras station (aptly where Eurostar departs for Paris) as stylish ladies put on their best Chanel and pearls (or nearest thing) and grouped together to celebrate the film's release.
Trend Alert: Chain Belt
The Coco Chanel effect is felt across the fashion industry as other designers and High Street stores take influence from her iconic designs. The quilted handbag has become a wardrobe essential and it's chain handle has become iconic by itself.
The chain and leather combo has now taken on a life of it's own as its reinvented in to a belt!
Love it or Hate it: Balmain Quilted Skirt
Balmain is one of the most popular designer names right now. Celebrities like Kate Moss, Victoria Beckham, Julia Roitfeld and Beyonce Knowles are just a few of the names who've been spotted in Christophe Decarnin's designs. I recently spotted this quilted leather skirt (£4,705) which is sure to be a sell out Autumn item.
Celebrity Style: Nicola Roberts
Girls Aloud continued their tour around the UK this weekend as they performed in the capital. Nicola was spotted leaving the venue looking typically demure with a classic '40s hairstyle and dark red lips, however, it's her ensemble which caught my attention. She has effortlessly combined a bright funky skirt with an elegant blouse and a classic Chanel quilted handbag.
