FF GOTTA HAVE IT

          FASHION FINDS GOTTA HAVE IT - As seen on many, many, many celebrities, one of my favourite purses of all time - The Chanel Bag.  Pictured are: Kim Kardashian, Blake Lively, Gwyneth Paltrow.  Though the size, style and colour may vary (I love them all) one thing is for certain -it is timeless, versatile a true classic.  I've seen them paired with casual wear as well as more sophisticated outfits.  I personally have my eye on the Quilted Double Flat bag.

There are definitely more affordable alternatives to buying brand new and that's buying pre-owned.  Check out all your local consignment stores who specialize in designer labels.  There are also online consignment stores such as yoogi's closet, beyond the rack (great site for canadians) etc where you will find a wide variety of great bags.  Ebay has always been a personal favourite of mine when it comes to finding designer items for less than retail.  If you are worried about knock offs look into the sellers who are also online consignment retailers.
