Ditto!

The sequinned Chanel bag has to be one of my least favorite bags from Chanel. It was another attempt at updating and adding a twist to a classic Chanel flap bag which just doesn't work for me!

Agree?

Spotted!

Spotted Kahkashan Patel at the launch of Pal Zileri store in an outfit from Prashant Verma's Spring Summer 08 collection.

And yes, she is NOT carrying her trademark clutch, the way she is holding up her Chanel, how could we not notice?!

Kareena in Hi Blitz, Decoded!

I have to say that Kareena on Vogue was more fun, because of all the yummy clothes! Not digging the HiBlitz choices at all. I can't believe she agreed to wear that ugly Moschino dress!

Chanel's Latest: Love It Or Hate It?

Chanel Fall 2008

The last collection had purses worn on ankles, and at the Paris Fashion Week, Chanel introduced some really futuristic style clutches as part of their Fall 2008 collection.

What do you think of these new babies?

That Bag Spotting Thing!

Ekta Raheja has one of these in white and now spotted Sophie Chaudhary at the Araaish event with the Chanel! Also seen was Juhi Chawla with her Lady Dior!! (Oh, and if you are curious, the unidentified lady in the centre with Juhi Chawla is carrying the Fendi Baulotto Bag!!)

We did do quite a bit of Bag Spotting and all the usual suspects were there! Manyata and Bhagyashree were carrying the same ol' Louis Vuitton and Gucci bags (respectively), so blah!

What Do You Ride?

Remember we told you all about the $12,400 Chanel Bicycle some time ago? Just found out that recently Jennifer Aniston got gifted one by her 'bff' Courtney Cox.

Just for fun, which Indian fashionista do you see riding this ridiculous set of wheels?

Hoping To Distract

First, she carries a glorious new Salina GM dressed in Juicy Couture sweats, and seriously, who wears sweats to an art exhibition??!! And now, we spotted Bhumika Puri once again carrying a fabulous bag, this time a patent black Chanel at the Indian Oaks event. Except, this time too, she teamed her fabulous bag with that hideous, printed, ruffled excuse of a top!

Is she hoping her bags would distract us from the clothes? It almost worked. Only, almost.

What "Channel" Are You On Laila?

This is what happens when you don't proof read!

And The Wheels Go Round And Round...

Chanel is apprantly launching a bicycle as part of their spring/summer 2008 collection that comes with its signature quilted leather and double-C logo!

Its of course a great way to do your bit for the environment, while looking good doing it! And will be available come December. But all that style might set you back a bit. If a bit was $12,400.

I know, I know. Read more Here.

Chanel's Ankle Purse

We compiled a list of what we think some folks could also use the purse for! (All suggestions are to be taken with a pinch of salt, of course..)

5. To keep your credit card and phone because you JUST don't want to carry a big ole bag! (Added bonus: every time you bend to get your phone, you get to do your AB workout...)

4. To store your ankle weights if you are a hardcore jogger.

3. To hide your alcohol ankle monitor if you are on probation.

2. If you are not yet on probation, to hide some miniature vodka bottles!

1. And last but not least..To cover up that ugly "heart" tattoo you got on your ankle for the boyfriend who "guess what!" just dumped you!

Do you have any quirky uses for these bags? We want to hear it!

Book Launch Launches Bag'mania..

.. for us anyway!

The book launch in question was the photo-essay book about Sunil and Nargis Dutt written by their daughters Priya and Namrata. As usual, not only were the who's who of Mumbai present but also making an appearance were their bags!

We (Well Heeled and I) couldn't stop "oooh-ing" the uber-expensive Bottega Veneta Lizard clutch carried by Gauri Khan. (Life is really good when you are SRK's wife!)

We also caught Simi Garewal carrying her favorite, the LV Suhali L'Aimable shoulder bag.




Buy via eLuxury

Finally, the fabulous Neetu Singh-Kapoor carrying the timeless Chanel quilted clutch!

Cover This!

Vogue India is going to be debuting with a smokin' hot cover with Bipasha Basu in Roberto Cavalli, Gemma Ward in Valentino, Priyanka Chopra in Giorgio Armani, Laxmi Menon in Chanel, Preity Zinta in Christian Dior, and Monikangana Dutta in Gucci!

I think Basu and Dutta totally steal the show, umm, cover! But this cover totally reminds me of the inaugaral cover of Vogue China which also had the seemingly mandatory Gemma Ward.
