Following in the loving tradition of “I’m Not a Plastic Bag” Longchamp has released this number on the totebag numb public. While I could do without another tote with imaginative text on it, this bag is a step up from the canvas grocery carriers you have lying under your sink, so my suggestion… UPGRADE!!!
Thanks to the Clones for spotting this beauty from Longchamp.

I was looking through Housing Works for bags earlier and found this one; love the colors, textures, and the fact that it’s quite large. Perfect for work or shopping. And it’s only $25. Get it now.

I’m hearts over this gun clutch. It would probably be the perfect access to pair with those to murder for Chanel gun heel shoes which Grandpa Karl released for the Spring. Plus, in these hard times it let’s your bosses know one thing, you mean fucking business.
You can pick it up for 93 euro here.

Every fashionista knows that Black Friday isn’t just about shopping gifts for family and friends, it’s about finding amazing deals on the stuff you know you really want. And what better way to do that than to grab an extra 30% off on designers already marked down at SSENSE.com, our new not so secret addition.
We’ve been combing their sales floor all week to pick out some of the best items from this weekends sale.
Check out our Top Ten Sale Picks…
1. Galliano Dark Pink Jeans
The color screams “pay the f*ck attention to me” and that’s probably why we love the so much. These Galliano’s are so painfully fetch and at $107 plus 30% off these aren’t gonna be on the sale floor for long. Check them out.
2. Nike Blazer Metallic Pewter Midtops
There’s something so Beyonce in Gareth Pugh about these that I can’t help but love them. I rarely endorse Nike’s but I want at least three pairs of these under my Chanukah bush this season. Grab them for $108 plus an extra 30% off before they’re gone.
3. Mike & Chris Floyd Neck Coat
Yes, yes I know Mike & Chris are currently debunked, but that’s no reason to not swoop up a couple of their pieces before they’re all gone!!! This jacket is completely covetable and the attached scarf makes it worth every penny and the few jealous stares from your less sartorially inclined friendos. You can grab it at SSENSE.com for $220 plus 30% off.
4. 0044 Cross Necklace
Crosses are always hot but this menagerie of various Jesus pieces is the equivalent of molten lava around your neck. You know you want it and for $161 plus 30% off you can have it at the SSENSE.com Black Friday sale. Check it out now.
5. Diesel Black Gold Flosse Dark Blue Dress
I don’t give Diesel as much air time as I could but upon seeing this dress I knew their new Black Gold collection would be right up my alley. It kind of reminds me of something Maria Cornejo or color block king Johnathan Saunders would dish out, but at $320 plus 30% off it’s about half the price of one of their pricier pieces. Yay, economy conscience fashions!!! Pick it up here.
6. CNC Patent Black Leather Boots
Some argue that patent leather is getting a bit overexposed, but I can’t get enough. These CNC shoes are powerful little statement makers that will get noticed for all the right reasons. You can get them for $466 plus a ery generous 30% off at SSENSE.com.
7. Paul & Joe Bianco Black Melange Trousers
They’re wideleg, pleated, and high waisted. The kind of pants that should only be attempted by the bravest of the brave. If you think you can pull these off, buy them. They will make you looking so flippin good and will ensure that your status as style queen remains in tact. They’re available for $428 plus 30% off at the SSENSE.com sale.
8. Diesel Wild Girls Newclip Black Boots
Lighting Bolts + Boots = Lighting BOOTS!!! I’m easily swayed by quirky fashion and these Diesel boots ring every bell in my body. You can grab them for $238 plus 30% off.
9. Juicy Couture High Seas Plaid Wool Skirt
This skirt is painfully chic. The slight bursts of red in the pattern and it’s undeniable warmth make this a serious must-have. Plus, the plaid is just to die for, I need it, I want it, I just bought it for $209 plus 30% off.
10. Karl Lagerfeld Denise K T-Shirt
What do you want? I’m a sucker for Karl. It’s $250 plus 30% off at the SSENSE.com Black Friday sale.

I’m never one to be drawn to the typical black, white, red and beige “House” plaid of Burberry, but this adorable clutch caught my eye the minute I saw it! I was bumming around the Soho Bloomingdales when the Burberry Bridle Ashcombe Clutch jumped out at me from a corner case. I’m loving the cotton canvas base with leather detailing straps and polished hardware. Heck, I don’t even mind the equestrian Burberry logo on the front of the bag! I initially thought this would be a great Christmas gift for my stylish mother…well, I thought wrong. The 3×11 clutch will set you back $795, a price I simply cannot imagine paying for a bag that can probably only hold a a cell phone, some lip gloss, a tampon and a few dollars. If you’re willing to splurge, this may be the item to do it on!
Check out Burberry’s website to purchase this clutch or browse for other great items here!

The Daily bag by Ecoist is not only an interesting and versatile shoulder bag but it’s also eco-friendly because it’s handmade out of folded, recycled newspaper. It has a sturdy, structured design (meaning it holds its shape and doesn’t slouch), is water resistant, and has comfortable padded handles. Self-lined with a magnetic snap closure, The Daily measures 15″ x 12″ x 6″ and sells for $158.
And if the newspaper print isn’t your thing you should check out their other designs using recycled magazines, Coca-Cola bottles, and even candy wrappers.
Thanks Luxist

For one last time, Raf Simons has put together his innovative designs with the durable backpack company, Eastpak, for their final fashion collaboration. After much success with the spring/summer 2008 collection, the two a back in action with their sturdy bags, made to resemble winter coats, for this winter.

For one reason or another, NY Magazine always decides to take it upon themselves to come up with their 100+ picks for their favorite/trendiest sweaters, jeans, cocktail dresses etc. Well, their recent 130 picks for the best gloves, hats and scarves did anything but keep me warm. After filtering through several pages of hideous fascia slouch hats and typical plaid scarves, I found my top five accessory picks from the Shop-A-Matic list. Voila:
Plait Cheek Fedora by Alpinestars ($36)
Ah ha! I spot a straw hat (as seen in the Coco Chanel documentary!) ready for winter! So it might be a season early for a hat like this, but pair it with a cute layered black outfit and you’ll look stunning!
Leather-Trim Cable Knit Glove by Banana Republic ($39)
If you’re going for a more classy look, pair these gloves with a nice black sweater and a sleek black coat. They might be a bit preppy but the leather trim erases the “blah” from the typical cable-knit glove.
Spalding Avenue Scarf by Mike and Chris ($98)
I don’t know about you, but I’m loving the trend of breaking fashion rule #3 and actually wearing black and brown together. I recently bought a pair of black and brown leather boots and despite it’s masculinity, this scarf would look killer with them!
Teo Hat by Theory ($95)
They might be everywhere, but I love the saggy knit hats. Worn slouched off the back of your head, this hat is a nice alternative to the winter beanie hat. Make sure you pair it with a good outfit or else you’re going to blend in with the rest of the hipster population.
Felt Fedora with Grogorian Ribbon Trim by Hat Attack ($98)
Hands down my favorite. Who needs a traditional fedora when you can have one decked out in felt. Wear it inside. Wear it outside. Just wear it…it rocks.
Thanks Shop-A-Matic!
