Designer cosmetics are quite expensive…but are they worth it? You tell us!

“This is the first issue of 31 Rue Cambon, the first Chanel magazine which I (Olivier Zahm)  have art directed and designed for Karl Lagerfeld, to be distributed worldwide in all the Chanel stores.”

Baptiste Giabiconi poses for Karl Lagerfeld to showcase the Pre-Fall 2010 collection for Chanel.

Apparently, the new Costco on 116th in New York City is now selling designer goods at a discount. The Chanel bag will run you $1,999, Burberry’s mini satchel for $1,019.99, Tod’s medium shopper handbag for $549.99 and a Ferragamo “Marissa” handbag for $629.99.

Mariacarla Boscono was shot by fashion photographer Sølve Sundsbø and styled by Anastasia Barbieri. Mariacarla wears dresses by Givenchy, Louis Vuitton, Jil Sander, Valentino, D&G, Chanel, and Jean Paul Gaultier.

Dree Hemingway is everywhere. For Spring 2010, she walked for Chanel, Giles, Rue de Mail, Loewe, Karl Lagerfeld, House of Holland, and last season she posed for the Gucci and Halston campaigns. Now she’s beginning her Spring campaign reign, she’s set to shoot for Valentino and Ferre campaigns.

So the ‘It’ color of the season, Jade, is apparently sold out everywhere…everywhere but Ebay! So how far would you go, and how much would you spend to have this color on your filangies?

Ladies and gentlemen, we may have reached a new milestone in the world of accessories! Models in the Chanel Spring 2010 show sported a mish-mosh of rub on bracelet tattoos. For those of you who aren’t so fond of getting a permanent tattoo, this may be a new alternative to loading your wrists up with jewelry! If Chanel doesn’t manufacture these, I assure you, someone will…keep your eyes peeled and wrists ready to go!

Thanks JAK & JIL!

These easy DIY tats are sure to hit mainstream asap!

Whoa, that’s a lot of look. What do you guys think of Leigh Lezark’s look for the Chanel show in Paris? It’s hurting my eyes, a little.

Can you hear me now? How about now? How about with my new ‘Purple Khaki’ nailpolish?…I know it’s dumb but I couldn’t come up with anything better!

Dree Hemingway, great-granddaughter of Ernest Hemingway, is set to walk the Chanel show tomorrow morning in Paris. Just like so many model-heiresses before her.

For Spring/Summer 2010, Karl Lagerfeld would like to take us to the Barn Yard…a giant replica of a barn was built as part of the Chanel runway. A threesome was also staged to make the show even more interesting. As far as the clothes, not quite Animal House chic!

Remember the Chanel tights everyone wanted? Well, here is the DKNY version for only $20.

Model/Blogger Daul Kim is the newest face to the Coco Cocoon collection by Chanel.  What do you guys think of the video? I’m not crazy about it, but it definitely shows the entire line..

This 39-year-old First Lady of Cameroon, Chantal Biya,takes Lady Gaga to the White House.  Chantal is known for her big hair and crazy getups, and actually trendsparks lots of looks in Cameroon.  The Huffington Post reported:

In the past, she’s mentioned Dior and Chanel as a few of her favorite European labels, while the traditional African outfits she dons are custom-made, designed, and sewn by tailors … In Cameroon her wardrobe has made her so popular she routinely launches trends and has a hairstyle, the Chantal Biya, named after hair.

I mean, who meets the pope in a pink lace and sequined dress? She does, apparently. What do you think of this diva’s style?
