You know how everyone has their signatures online that is unique to them? You know, some people just say bye, others say peace out, some say I’m out, but me? I have a habit of constantly saying KISSES! It’s my thing, some people may think it’s childish but I like spreading the love throughout the internet world.

The Marc by Marc Jacobs “Mademoiselle” Rivera Watch pretty much had my name all over it when I saw it. I think it’s absolutely adorable, and it goes perfectly with my lingo. It’s kind of simple, just a white watch with some lips on the face of it but you have to admit it catches your eye.

Obviously this isn’t a watch I’d wear on a daily basis, but for somedays it would be cute to sport. Mostly with a white outfit or perhaps even a black outfit. If you love it, then you will love the price even more! Very reasonable for an eye catching designer watch!

You can purchased the Marc by Marc Jacobs “Mademoiselle” Rivera Watch at Shop Bop for $175.

Has there ever been a jacket that you find yourself bouncing back and forth between either purchasing or resisting? That’s what I’m currently going through with the new spring Burberry Cotton Jacket. I of course love everything about this jacket – the navy blue color and the overall mini trench style. However, a couple weeks ago when I going through my jacket closet, doing a little spring cleaning, I re-discovered an old Banana Republic jacket that I purchased a couple years back. And it looks identical. Only real noticeable difference, is that the jacket that I purchased from BR is made 50% Lyocell (a soft silk like material that is resistant to wrinkles) and 50% cotton and the Burberry topper is 100% cotton. The only thing I hate about my BR jacket is that the belt always slides off – it’s so annoying! Which is another reason why I’m leaning towards the Burberry Cotton Jacket.

The navy double-breasted cotton jacket features logo-embossed pewter button fastenings at front, hook-fastening tab at collar, a buckle-fastening belt at waist, short lapels, front pockets, a wind flap, buttoned tabs at cuffs, a storm flap, buttoned epaulets and is fully lined. Materials: 100% cotton; main lining: 97% cotton, 2% nylon, 1% elastane; sleeve lining: 100% cotton.

The Burberry Double-Breast Cotton Jacket is available at Nordstroms. Retails for $495

I love the new Alexander McQueen Whipsnake Skull Charm Bracelet with a passion. I’m sure that little accessory is going to find it’s way in my McQ jewelry box soon, but I’m not really that crazy about it’s new Spring season sister, the new Enameled Bracelet. Is it just me, or does it look a little too Halloween-ish? Like the bracelets they sell at Party World when Halloween rolls around. Maybe it’s just the black and white that’s distracting me. Can’t wait til they release the other colors!

The Alexander McQueen Skull Enameled Bracelet features a silver-tone brass bracelet with black and white enameled skull print. Alexander McQueen bracelet has a designer-stamped silver-tone panel and a designer stamp on the inside.

Small – $180
Large – $255

You would think a makeup empire such as MAC would run out of ideas and colors to add to their name, due to their variety of cosmetics being so great. Even with my favorites that I’ll keep on buying over and over again, I’m always keeping an eye out to see what’s new over at MAC headquarters. Introducing the ‘Give Me Liberty of London’ Collection, a range of bright colors with blooming nature interpreted into it. I absolutely adore these limited edition pieces; this collection itself carries lip, face, nail, eyeshadows and carrying accessories with art décor of birds and flowers throughout. This time around, MAC dropped the classic black casing for this collection and housed their goods in a fresh new look of white plastic casing for this collection.

Pricing is no different as their originals and if you seek to add some serious bold pieces to your MAC collection, check out this Limited Edition collection though: Bloomingdales

It’s not really a surprise to me why so many people love Tory Burch flats. They’re a staple for any season. During the dark and dreary months they look great paired with an all black ensemble. Black tights, dress, and jacket and these gorgeous shoes would pop. Also these cuties would look fabulous during the warmer months matched with a summer dress or capris.

The Tory Burch Reva Ballets come in a new Python printed leather, which has a textured look for a new spin on this signature classic style. Each pair comes topped off with the signature Logo detail and features a leather lining, comfortable insole and rubber sole.

Most Tory Burch Ballet Flats retail in the range of $95 for a pair of Jelly Revas to $275 for a pair of studded flats. The Python-Print Reva Ballet Flats retail for $235.

The Tory Burch Python-Print Reva Ballet Flats are available over at Saks Fifth Avenue.

At first I thought this was a mistake. And that the person in charge with inputting the designer information, mislabeled this bag as Yves Saint Laurent. It just doesn’t look it to me. Then upon further examination (see “YSL” in the lower right corner) I realized that this bag was in fact by Yves Saint Laurent.

Not many authentic designer handbags can be found retailing for under $200. This is sort of a rare find, especially when were talking about iconic fashion house Yves Saint Laurent.

My thoughts: love it. But a little bit too late don’t you think? The safety pin trend was so last season. Although, I don’t think that’s going to stop this fashionista from considering it.

The classic-shaped cotton canvas design features a safety pin and logo print that adorns the front. Also features double top handles which are the perfect length to carry on arm or over the shoulder. 8″ drop. Make note that the mouth of this bag features no closure and the interior is not lined. Bag measures 14.5″ width x 16.5″ height x 1/4″ depth.

I’m think this would make one fabulous eco tote!

The Yves Saint Laurent Canvas Logo Pin Tote can be found at Saks Fifth Avenue where it retails for just under $200.

There’s a boutique that I walk past everyday that has a vintage Louis Vuitton monogram trunk resting in the window. It’s in perfect condition. And each day as I walk past the window it amazes me how many window shoppers pause for a moment and visually molest it with their gazes.

Who wouldn’t kill to have a piece of Louis Vuitton history?

The Pullman Gallery in London is offering this rare, recently restored, original Louis Vuitton chocolate Damier checkerboard pattern trunk for a whopping $11,000. The trunk dates back to 1890, which is less than 40 years after Louis Vuitton was founded in Paris.

The price is steep, but for a serious Louis Vuitton collector I’m sure that wouldn’t matter one bit.

If you’re looking for a Louis Vuitton trunk for a deal, check out eBay.
