Velvet - The Fabric Of Fall
by: Catherine Olivia
The history of velvet is somewhat fuzzy, but the first English reference to it was in 1278, when a king's tailor purchased the fabric in Paris for the kings bed. More than 700 years later you don't have to be a king to afford to wear velvet.
You're seeing it everywhere, in every shade. Carefully created into dazzling jackets, dresses, handbags, boots, pumps and flats. You will find velvet this fall in an array of rich, deep colors like navy blue, emerald and red, meant to make a fashion statement. You can't be shy and wear velvet this year!
Alice & Olivia offer a velvet military jacket in navy with leather piping. Nanette Lepore offers an embellished velvet jacket in muted shades with a peacock feather print. Moschino is showing a dress saluting the paisley craze. It's a lovely cognac velvet halter dress with a medallion print. One of the standout velvet creations this season has to be the Cynthia Steffe strapless velvet empire dress. It features a dark green bust trimmed with golden ribbon. The dress falls into a three tiered nutmeg colored velvet skirt which falls just below the knee. The bottom tier of this dress is beautifully embellished with gold and green floral embroidery. There are only two words to describe this dress - rich and opulent.
Shoe designers have always loved velvet. Yves Saint Laurent is offering a beautiful crossover velvet sandal in olive. Christian Lacroix offers an unexpected twist on chic with his dark brown velvet sandal which is made an absolute must have with the addition of a teal and black wool flower on the heel. You have to check this shoe out. Can somebody say perfect for any upcoming holiday celebration? Shoe designer Salvatore Ferragamo is offering a Victorian inspired velvet pump in a rich wine color. He also shows a very strappy and sexy black velvet platform sandal, perfect for evening affairs. You can pair these sandals with a cropped jacket in teal velvet and black satin pencil pants, perfect!
Don't forget to check out the wide array of velvet bags. Hobo's, clutch bags and totes are shown in velvet. Giorgio Armani is offering his signature tote in croc-embossed velvet. Gucci is showing a green velvet shoulder flap bag accented with a crocodile trim.
Splurge and buy yourself a spectacular velvet piece this fall - you won't regret it!

I Love The Nightlife ? Lauren Merkin Handbags
I Love The Nightlife ? Lauren Merkin Handbags
by: Teresa Camacho
Lauren Merkin handbags are a fabulous retro throwback to the era of the 70's nightlife and a laissez-faire attitude that existed in all merrymaking.
They can make the transition from an evening out at the new Asian-fusion sushi and sake bar to all the holiday parties of the season with no stops in between.
With the addition of one of these handbags, an outfit will stand out and get one noticed at any event because the assortment of colors and textures - metallic lambskin, velvet, embossed snakeskin and studded leather - pair up well with the season's hottest bohemian looks parlayed down the runways of Milan fashion week.
The bags are all whimsically named.
There are bags such as the Valeri and Belle which are a bit more serious but with a lightness that one can carry throughout the day from the office and perhaps into evening.
Though why stick...

Louis Vuitton -- Avoiding The Ebay Nightmare Fakes
Louis Vuitton -- Avoiding The Ebay Nightmare Fakes
by: Rufus Steele
Without a doubt, eBay was one of the cleverest on-line ideas that anyone has had so far. The idea of creating a site where you can bid on and buy items ranging from an eggcup through to a disused Boeing 747 or a Nuclear Missile Silo was pure genius.
Sadly though, whenever a good idea comes along, the seedier side of humanity is sure to be not to far behind, sliding along in it's wake leaving a gooey trail behind themselves.
So it is on Ebay. Current estimation holds that nigh on 37% of the worlds counterfeit and fake goods are sold daily on Ebay.
Having seen some of the listings I can fully believe it.
Especially where designer label goods are concerned.
Take a look at just about any page of Louis Vuitton items listed on Ebay and on average you'll find 95% of them on each page are fake.
So how can you avoid the easy to make mistake of buying a cheap...

Savvy Shopping for Replica Handbags
by: Nick Martilik
First of all, we all know handbags are big business.
The leading designers like Prada, Gucci, Coach, Burberry, Dooney and Bourke all command huge investments when you purchase one of their purses, often in the thousands of dollars.
So, it is no big surprise then that replica handbags, often called ?knock-offs,? are just as big a business.
If you?re looking for the real deal for a steal, be aware that in order to actually get the authentic designer item you will have to most likely fork over the big bucks, regardless of that tip your friend gave you for a little shop where you can get the same thing for hundreds less.
Not likely, say most experts.
In fact, top designers make it rather common knowledge how you can spot the real product. And they say, you will not find a real Gucci through a street vendor, regardless of what he or she is advertising.
