Why is Michael Kors Knocking Off Louis Vuitton and the Brikin???

I'm sorry....I'm just so sick of this. I'm tired of seeing people walking around with these Michael Kors bags that are a clear rip off of Louis Vuitton and Hermés Birkin bag. See for yourself!

That's copyright infringement if I've ever seen it. Besides, both Louis Vuitton designs are dated. Why would you want a lesser version of something that's not even in style anymore? And nothing compares to a Birkin. NOTHING.

Spring Shoe Addiction

It's that time of year when even though it's beyond freezing stores start to carry sandals and wedges. You know what that means, right? Time for new shoes! Here are my two newest obsessions that I just had to have!

Chinese Laundry Make My Day - $79.95

These shooty-esque wedges are not only so cute, but they are soooo comfy! I love the ethnic prints that are sure to be a hot trend again this spring/summer. I can't wait to pair it with my maxi skirts and tribal jewelry.

Vince Camuto Persh - $129.95

These amazing sandals are FABULOUS. They're modern and edgy and I love the chunky heel. Besides, anyone who knows me knows that I can't resist black and gold. These are going to be perfect for....well....EVERYTHING!

Mark Your Calendars to Preorder Your Pair of TOMS Ballet Flats

Quite frankly, I can't wait to get myself a pair....or two....or three.

A Glimpse of Jason Wu's Target Collection

Mark your calendars!! Launching February 5 is the next designer line for Target who is designed by none other than Jason Wu. And if the cold weather we are enduring now doesn't make us long for spring, Wu's flirty and feminine dresses and handbags will do the trick. And although they look expensive, your wallet won't be empty when you put it in that amazing cream colored satchel (The navy dress is $40 and the satchel is $50.)

If these images aren't enough for you, take a look at this video. I know I am going to be one of those crazies waiting in line outside Target's door for this collection. How about you?
