So I was doing an article on the world’s most extravagant handbags and I have to admit I was pretty impressed with the selection, even though the price tags of some of these bags went as high as $100,00 and more.

However there was one that I was honestly distraught over, mainly with confusion, and knew I had to do a bit more research on it.

Louis Vuitton is one of the most renowned designer names in the world, and I am definitely a fan.

The Urban Satchel however, which is one of their most recent and definitely most talked about releases, honestly has me baffled.

The handbag, covered in everything from an empty pack of cigarettes to a package of gum, sweetener wrapper, bandaid…

I understand fashion and realize that many of the most exquisite and desirable fashions are a little bit kooky, but this is just too much for me. Are people just riding along with it because they think the Louis Vuitton name could never do any wrong?

No matter if you live in New York or LA, I simply could not imagine anyone feeling sexy or fashionable wearing this horrid bag.

I have read some of the comments of the public on this bag and surprisingly, almost all were positive towards the bag and considering it as the must-have look of the year.

To me it looks like someone dropped their bag in a garbage compactor or left it in a bar overnight, but what do you think?

So I didn’t really care for her look at the MuchMusic Video Awards this year, but besides that, Rihanna has definitely become a style icon in my eyes.

When she first came out with songs like Pon De Replay and Music of the Sun, she was definitely hot, but not so much a celebrity that stood out in terms of style.

Over the past year or so however, Rihanna has definitely made a dramatic change in her looks. She has a new haircut, a completely new and unique style, and as of lately I have not seen her step out wearing anything but first class fashions all the way.

She gives us grown up glamour to the nines but sex appeal at the same time, and this is a look that all women strive to achieve.

Just take a look at her in this sexy hot pink number here, all I can say is…wow.

Although early on in her career she seemed to have a sort of molded fashion sense, where she almost just put on whatever she was told to, it seems that she has really come full circle and is finally doing her own thing - which we love.

These days it seems she just can’t go wrong with her fashions…ahem, besides the MMVAs but that is just my opinion, everyone else I know thought she looked fantastic…and from her earrings down to her sky high heels, Rihanna always looks drop dead gorgeous.

Rihanna has certain god given features that are so unique from all the other female artists we see out there today, and she is truly something special.

She’s got more than just great looks and fashion sense though, she is a reigning talent and one of the key players in the music industry today, and that’s why we love her, and why Rihanna is, without a doubt, a true style icon.

One of my all time favorite fashion designers, Betsey Johnson, is absolutely…amazing.

There is really no other word you could use to better describe this fantastically quirky, unimaginably talented, modern and hip designer.

She has some delightful new arrivals in her store, and I thought I would show a few off for you just to make sure that you are up to date in case you are missing out.

Of the hundreds of recent designs released by the lovely Miss Johnson, here are a few of my personal favorites.

If you want to purchase any of these gorgeous pieces for yourself or check out the rest of her fabulous line, you can do so by visiting the Betsey Johnson website. Have fun shopping!

One of the hottest new fashion trends out there today is the vest.

The new layering piece, the vest can be worn in a number of different ways, and there is such a wide selection of different colors, patterns and styles to choose from that they will never be boring.

The latest way to wear a vest is to mix it up. Try wearing it unbuttoned over a plain top and jeans or dress it up by wearing it with heels and a blouse with a ruffled front.

The only real rule when it comes to vests is making sure that the layer underneath is at least a bit longer than the vest, otherwise it will look tacky.

Another tip is to use long layered necklaces when you are wearing a vest, and keep the shirt underneath low cut in the neck so that you can emphasize your face and jewellery.

The lovely Kim Kardashian sure knows how to pull off the vest, wearing a sexy black one over a tight fitting white tank and dark fitted jeans. She keeps the jewellery minimal, with only a small gold wrist band and cute earrings and necklace.

Have fun with your look, and remember that you don’t have to stick with black and brown all the time. Reds, blues, and greys all look great on vests, so try a few styles out and see what works well for you.

She may only be 22, but Megan Fox is definitely a style icon.

She is one of the sexiest women in Hollywood these days, and I can’t remember a single time where she has not looked positively delish.

Most of us remember first seeing the lovely Miss Fox in the hit blockbuster Transformers, which is the movie that all guys and girls fell for her.

She has a girl next door look to her and yet her sexiness and allure cannot be denied.

Her long dark locks and bright blue eyes are definitely something to be envied, but it is her constant A-plus style that I really adore. She always looks fabulous from head to toe, and I have to admit that I often get some great fashion ideas from her.

Megan Fox’s style is very young and stylish and yet mature and classy. You will never catch her revealing too much or trying too hard to fit in, and I love that she has her own unique persona.

Whether she is attending a high class red carpet movie premiere or just walking around the Hollywood hills she is always a true fashion diva and continues to blow us away with her natural good looks.

There are few people you can admit look good in literally anything they throw on, but Megan Fox definitely finds herself in this category.

Sexy, sassy, sultry, and always dressed to the nines, she could wear a garbage bag to her next event and still amaze.

With a name like Megan Fox, there is no denying her hot presence and we love that she seems like a great girl too.

The MMVAs were last night - MuchMusic Video Awards for those of you who live under a rock - and of course I was dying to see what everyone was wearing.

All in all it was a terrific show overall but in particular the fashions that everyone was sporting.

Rihanna’s look for me was, well, okay. I didn’t really enjoy or see the point of the sailor-inspired hat with the pirate frill shirt…oh right and the leather pants.

It was a bit much for me, I like creativity but this was just too much black, too much frill, too much everything.

It was similar to Hannah Simone’s purple frilly dress but hers was just enough, while Rihanna’s version I thought was a bit over the top.

Of course I’m going to throw K-Os in here because I am a huge fan, not only of his incredible music but of his style as well.

K-Os is definitely one in a million, he can throw together almost anything and make it look fashionable.

I think this guy is a true talent and come on…how many people can pull off yellow rimmed sunglasses and still look gorgeous.

K-Os is just that good.

I have to head to one of the hosts of the show, Devon Soltendieck, for this next one.

All the hosts looked great but I thought Devon’s style perfectly suited the event, and not only that but his personality.

Anyone who watches MuchMusic already knows that Devon definitely shows off his personality in his clothes and he was just as great to look at last night.

Now on to one that I didn’t like so much. Whitney Port is a beautiful girl, but her “dress” last night, in my opinion, was atrocious.

I’m not sure if she thought Canada was as cold as the North Pole or if she was just trying to play it casual, but she would have looked better in almost anything other than this.

The loose fabric doesn’t drape right on her curvalicious body and leaves her looking like she’s got no figure at all. Doesn’t she “work” for a fashion magazine? Maybe she should take some fashion tips from Perez…

Perez Hilton was in attendance, and looked stylish and very well put together, punched up with a pink shirt and striped tie.

When Perez Hilton is beating almost all the ladies in terms of fashion, you know that there are a few missing stylists in the chain.

At least we can say that there were no huge fashion disasters, and in my opinion Whitney Port’s peacock-inspired number was pretty much the worst one of the night.

Other than that, the awards show was fantastic as always, and here’s to everyone in attendance who had to deal with a bit of torrential downfall there.

Go Canada!

Yves Saint Laurent, one of the greatest fashion designers of all time, the man who gave the women’s movement an important leg up by designing the pantsuit that helped them bring a more professional look to the workplace, has died at the age of 71.

One of the most influential and enduring designers of the 20th century, Saint Laurent died Sunday night at his home in Paris, when he lost his yearlong battle with brain cancer.

This is a true tragedy, especially to his family and close friends, and of course the millions of Saint Laurent fans around the world.

Saint Laurent gave women power with his creative designs, and there is and never has been a fashion designer in the world that is like him.

Born August 1, 1936 in Oran, Algeria, Saint Laurent quickly fell in love with theater and the arts when he was just a boy. He left for Paris at the young age of 17 and never looked back, destined for a career in fashion.

Most famously known for his sleek haute couture and ready to wear styles, the Saint Laruent name first became prominent in the fashion world when he succeeded Christian Dior after his sudden death in 1957.

He continued to produce timeless designs year after year and in 1983 he actually became the first living fashion designer to be honored by New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art.

As Saint Laurent himself once quoted, “Fashions fade but style is eternal”, and his life is one that will definitely not soon be forgotten.

Who says geeks can’t be sexy? Nothing is farther from the truth when it comes to Emile Hirsch, the super sexy star of the new film Speed Racer.

You may have seen him before in flicks such as Lords of Dogtown, The Emperor’s Club, The Girl Next Door, Alpha Dog and Into the Wild, but he has really made his mark playing the star role in his new feature film.

His style is definitely unique, different from that of most the men in Hollywood we see.

Rather than dressing in standard suits Emile prefers a more contemporary style, choosing a bowtie over the typical full length tie.

His casual cool style has taken geek-chic to a whole other level. He really seems to have perfected the laid-back but oh-so-suave and stylish celebrity look.

Emile has a sort of kooky, geeky style, but it is still super sexy and definitely works for him.

He is absolutely crush-worthy, but his innovative and personalized style is what really sets him apart and makes him stand out from the crowd. We will of course be keeping our eyes open to see what this geek sexy superstar comes up with next.

If there is one woman who has been able to stand the test of time in Hollywood and continue to wow us with her trendy, sexy style, it is Sharon Stone.

Ever since we first spotted this stunning blonde in some of her earliest movies - Tears in the Rain, Total Recall, Basic Instinct, Last Action Hero, The Specialist, and Casino, just to name a few - we have not been able to take our eyes off her, and really, who would want to?

A serious idol for women of all ages, Sharon really shows us how to dress great at all stages of life.

At fifty, she is still just as magnificent as she was in her twenties, which is not something that most women can brag about.

She looks perfect in just about everything she throws on but seems to favor names like Calvin Klein and Versace in particular.

Both men and women love her, and it is really no surprise. Sharon Stone has a certain flair to her style, and she is certainly no slave to the latest fads yet always manages to look modern and pretty.

Many people try to emulate her style but none can compare, because there is only one Sharon Stone and she certainly holds her own.

Sharon Stone is a true style icon from head to toe and we know that she is only going to continue taking our breath away and grabbing our attention, and we’re sure that she can handle it.
