Michael Kors is a fabulous fashion designer as we all know, and he has a gorgeous handbag selection to choose from.

The problem is deciding which one of these hot accessories you want for yourself. Here are a few of my personal favorites.

Brookville Medium Bowling Bag

The Brookville Medium Bowling Bag is a gorgeous Michael Kors creation that features double straps with a 10-inch drop, and a magnetic snap closure to ensure your valuables stay protected.

There is an inside zip pocket as well as a cell phone pocket and three open pockets.

This would be the perfect bag for going out at night with the girls. It will carry your makeup, wallet, phone, PDA, keys, and everything else you need to fit in there, with room to spare.

Hudson Pebble Large Tote

This is a great daywear bag. It is a bit smaller and features double handles with a 7-inch drop, so it is tighter over the shoulder but super cute when paired with jeans and a t-shirt or a cute summer dress.

I love the buckle detail on the front and sides, and the canvas lining with zip pocket, 3 open pocks and cell phone and key keepers are great because you don’t have to scrounge through your bag to find what you are looking for.

Joplin Giraffe Medium Shoulder Satchel

This is a really fun, funky bag. It is actually ideal for either day or night which is nice, and comes with a printed canvas in giraffe print.

The shoulder strap has a 8 1/2-inch drop, and features a magnetic snap closure, hinged hardware detail at the straps and an interior zip pocket, 2 open pockets, a cell phone pocket and key keeper.

I envision this hot little number with a little black dress or even a modern workwear ensemble, maybe in chocolate brown to not make the outfit too dark.

I’ll tell you right now that if you are looking for more than just a fashionable and modern handbag, one that is also durable and timeless, a Michael Kors handbag will be perfect for you.

I have several myself and if I could afford to buy his entire line I would, in a second. You will certainly not regret a purchase like this, and I would also advise that you check out what else he has to offer, everything from sunglasses and sandals to watches and fragrances.

If you are interested in any of these handbags or any other pieces from the Michael Kors’ collection, you can purchase them through the Michael Kors website as well as through retailers that offer his line.

I love lingerie. Love, love, love it. I know that many women are afraid to wear lingerie, but it is important to know that there are enough styles and designs of lingerie out there that you will find the perfect lingerie.

Whether you are looking for something more demure or are ready to go for all out sex appeal, here are a few of my favorite pieces of lingerie which will help you to look your sexiest.

Frederick’s of Hollywood I Love LA Corset

With summer coming up, this is the the perfect piece of lingerie. This stunning retro halter style corset can be worn in the bedroom or out for a special date.

Made of cotton poplin this corset fits your body like a glove, smoothing and streamlining your figure.

The bright red color is fabulous and eye-catching and the white polka dots make it flirty and fun. If you are wearing it to a day event, consider covering up a bit with a cute shrug or light sweater.

The corset is availbale from Frederick’s of Hollywood for $54 USD in sizes 32-38.

La Senza Glam Girl Garter Panty, Bra and Stockings

This entire ensemble from La Senza is innocent and sexy, from top to bottom.

The garter panty, bra and stockings all come separately, and together give a sort of school girl-burlesque look.

I love the ruffled layers on the panties because it gives a flirty touch, and the cotton candy pink color.

I loved this outfit the minute I saw it, and I am heading out tomorrow to get it for myself.

The entire outfit tallies up at under $100 to boot. There are also other styles and colors of stockings to choose from.

Heart Throb Lingerie Emotion Bra, Panty Garter Set

I found this lingerie shop one day while browsing the Net, and I’m so glad I did.

Like I said before, I am definitely a huge lingerie fan, and Heart Throb Lingerie has one of the largest, sexiest collections of lingerie I have ever seen.

I especially adored this Emotion bra, panty garter set which is frilly and lacy and oh-so-beautiful.

This is a really adorable little three-piece ensemble that includes an embroidered flower eyelet mesh ruffle bra top, garter belt and g-string panty.

Sweet yet saucy - I love it.

3 Wishes Kitty Delish

Here is a great lingerie retailer if you are looking for the whole package.

Not only do they offer one of the world’s largest collections of lingerie, but as well sexy Halloween costumes and much more.

One of my favorite ensembles from 3 Wishes is this gorgeous little number. It is an off the shoulder fishnet bra top with a little leopard print ruffle trim on both the bra and panty.

Sure there’s not much there but that is all the fun, and it is definitely an eye-catching lingerie set.

These are just a few of the many gorgeous pieces of lingerie out there, and I will definitely be sure to keep you updated on what else I find.

In the meantime, take a bit of time to browse through the selections from the lingerie retailers featured here and you are sure to find some great pieces.

Yay! One of my favorite designers, Betsey Johnson, has released her Fall/Winter 2008/2009 collections, and to no surprise, I love every single thing.

The collections were actually unveiled in New York a few months back, but I only now have really had a chance to check it out.

Betsey always makes a big splash when she has fashion shows, and there was no difference here, with loud colors and lots of balloons on display.

She had a lot of rocker-chic pieces in these collections, and I love how she always maintains a youthful look in her clothing but never childish. She always keeps it mature and sophisticated yet fresh and fun, which is certainly no easy task.

This particular outfit screams volumes about Betsey’s work, and any woman from teenager to middle-age could pull this look off.

She makes the all black ensemble look modern and chic, and I love the beret and retro sunglasses to top it all off.

I absolutely love these adorable skull-patterned black dresses and white tights, and don’t even get me started on the gorgeous high heeled chap type shoes.

Of course the girls themselves don’t hurt anything by playing it up and having fun, and they definitely make me want to head to Betsey Johnson and get this ensemble for myself.

If you want to check out the rest of the pictures from the show you can view them on PopCrunch.

I love checking out celebrity styles, watching to see what they are going to wear to one event or another.

There are definitely some hot and not so hot ensembles displayed over the past couple of months, and here are a few of my favorite hot or not styles.

Carrie Underwood

I cannot say enough about this look. Singer Carrie Underwood showed up at the 2008 CMT Music Awards looking like a true star.

In an eye-catching cobalt-blue Badgley Mischka mini-dress and gorgeous silver strappy Rene Caovilla sandals, she is absolutely stunning.

It was very smart of her to keep her accessories minimal, as this draws all the attention to this super sexy and elegant dress.

The vibrant color is dynamite with her blonde hair and plays up her best features.

I am not always impressed with Miss Underwood’s fashion sense but this outfit I definitely give the thumbs up to.

Mary-Kate Olsen

This was definitely one of the biggest style nots in the past week that I have seen.

I constantly hear of people talking about how the Olsen twins have fabulous style and creativity, but while Ashley at least looks half decent most of the time, Mary-Kate always seems to manage to look like a hobo.

This outfit is no different, and although the floor-length vintage Missoni dress could look great on someone else, it makes Mary-Kate look huge and uncoordinated because it floods over her tiny frame.

Oh, and I didn’t even make it to the Marc Jacobs headband yet. Please Mary-Kate, just take off this disastrous outfit!

Heidi Klum

Now here is one girl who always has style. Heidi Klum always has it going on, and she looked beautiful and glowing in a purple mini-dress designed by Project Runway finalist Rami Kashou.

Recently Heidi was declared as US Magazine’s Style Icon of the Year, and it is really no wonder why.

She is definitely a winner in this figure flattering strapless dress, but then again, could anything not be figure flattering on Heidi?

The beautiful plum color is very summery and fresh, and contrasts against her ash blonde hair.

Heidi Klum is a beautiful woman and always knows how to play up her best features, as she has done here.

Gwyneth Paltrow

The ’80s style is definitely back and is … Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin’ alive?

Anyways, Gwyneth Paltrow, although we rarely see her out on the red carpet anymore, certainly knows how to wow us when she does appear.

Glowing in a vintage Christian Dior gown in hot pink, Gwyneth was positively stunning, pairing a cute black clutch with her black sash belt.

The outfit is a little too matchy-matchy for my liking and I think she could have kept the belt and bag black and added a little something special in the shoes, but regardless she was striking.

All she needs now is her other accessory Chris Martin and she’s good to go.

Molly Sims

Simple definitely can be sexy, as the beautiful Molly Sims shows us in her sunny Calvin Klein sheath.

The dress, which is available from the designer’s Fall 2008 Collection, looks fabulous with Molly’s golden complexion and dirty blonde hair.

She kept the accessories very minimal, wearing only a small black clutch, black nylons and mules and small hoop earrings.

Not many stars would be able to pull this look off and it would probably just come off as boring, but with Molly’s gorgeous face and body it is definitely a winner on her.

I first saw these Givenchy jelly gladiator sandals on Style, and although I was not sure whether I liked them or not at first, they definitely caught my eye.

They called them “the must-have shoe for spring”, and although I am usually a fan of Givenchy I have to say that I do not agree here.

They remind me of a more retro version of the “croc”, which I never really took a liking to, no matter how many thousands of feet I saw wearing them around me.

Givenchy has spun a cheeky take on Roman style with this innovative new shoe, and they are not the only one. Other luxury brands such as Gucci, Marc Jacobs and Fendi have all brought their own version of this jelly sandal to the table as well.

Chanel is also doing the jelly, with a sandal that is clean with minimal adornment, only a rhinestone by the big toe. The price of their sandals are pretty staggering at $295, especially since it is, after all, a jelly sandal, but other versions such as Steve Madden’s are much more affordable at just $39.95.

These sandals have not really been out long enough to tell whether they are going to take off or not, but I know that I will certainly not be rushing out to the stores to buy them, that’s for sure.

Okay so we already have news of clothing lines from Lauren Conrad and Whitney Port of The Hills, and now Heidi Montag is launching her own line, Heidiwood.

Not such a creative title, since we already have so many copies of the Hollywood name and this little Heidiwood thing reminds me of a lame spinoff of the lovely Dolly Parton’s Dollywood … but moving on.

Heidi debuted her new fashion range last week in Hollywood, looking cute in giant black stilettos and a skimpy zebra print halter top.

Her style is decent but I certainly do not think that sales will skyrocket for this clothing line she has just released.

Oh, did I mention that her boyfriend Spencer Pratt proposed to her on stage, giving her two dozen long-stemmed pink roses before kissing her on the lips?

So her clothing line may be a little stripper-esque and her claim to fame came from an … ahem … reality TV show, at least she and good ole Spence are happy.

When most of us think of riding on an escalator we think of hurrying through the airport in sneakers and sweats or shopping at the mall in jeans and a t-shirt.

Dita Von Teese has now shown us how to really ride an escalator and look great doing it.

In a gray swing coat and gorgeous Christian Louboutin mary janes, Dita looked every bit the ’40s pinup beauty.

I have always admired this dark haired beauty for her classic style of authentic retro mixed with punches of modernity.

She is truly the leading woman behind a renaissance of vintage glamour, a look that no one can pull off better than her.

This escalator pic reminds us of just how impossibly gorgeous this lady really is, but then again we all know that Dita Von Teese could be working in a dump and still look picture perfect, so let’s not be too hard on ourselves.

One of my all-time favorite stores, as I have mentioned before, is Victoria’s Secret. They cater to the sophisticated woman and yet manage to keep their designs flirty and fun.

With summer fast approaching, there is no better time than now to check out the 2008 swimwear collection available through Victoria’s Secret now.

Whatever your size and style preference you will find the perfect bathing suit, and with their low prices you can even afford to get more than one.

Although there are over one hundred different gorgeous styles to choose from, here are a few of my personal favorites.

Vix Floral Sequin Sliding Triangle Top & Adjustable Tanga Bottom

This is a stunning bikini that offers as much luxury and elegance that you can find in a two-piece swimsuit.

Exclusively for Victoria’s Secret, this little number offers decent coverage, with sequin embellishment and embroidery, lined cups for no see through, and is made of imported Brazilian polyamide/elastane.

It is available in sizes XS-L, top $110, bottom $60.

Beach Sexy Shimmer Stripe Sliding Triangle Top & String Bottom

A little bit disco-esque, this two-piece is full of sparkle and shine.

Trendy and flirty, you will definitely stand out on the beach in this one, with a center rhinestone heart and contrasting red string ties.

Crafted from imported nylon/spandex, this bathing suit will shape to your body like a glove, is available in sizes XS-L, top $32, bottom $24.

Rampage Metallic Triangle Top & Low-Rise Bottom

Featuring an all-over scroll print, light removable padding, neck tie and back clasp, this gorgeous little number is fully lined and made of imported nylon/spandex.

The flirty flippy skirt bottom accentuates your curves and covers you up a bit more if you want more coverage on the bottom.

Available in sizes XS-L through all Victoria’s Secret outlets, this set is $49 for the top, $51 for bottom.

Very Sexy Ombrè One-Piece Monokini

As you can see I’m more of a bikini girl myself, but there are a couple of one-piece suits that I wouldn’t mind getting my hands on.

Take this monokini for example, which features blended ocean-blue and mauve colors.

This one-piece has an open back and is fully lined. It ties at both the neck and back and features a plunging neckline, for a price of only $60.

Vix Jeweled Cut-Out One Piece

This is another of my favorites. A stone-bold stunner, this one-piece comes with beveled jeweled stones on the front and a one-shoulder asymmetrical silhouette that connects the top and bottom on one side.

With minimal back coverage and the bright white color, this bathing suit screams sex appeal.

Available in sizes XS-L this one-piece is yours for a very reasonable price of $165.

These are just a few of the swimsuits Victoria’s Secret is featuring this year, so make sure that you check out their retail stores or website to view the full collection.

If you are looking for a great gift for you - and your boyfriend - you will definitely want to check out Customized World.

I was flipping through a magazine the other day and noticed an ad for the company near the back, and decided to check them out for myself.

I am usually put off by things that are overly cheap because when it comes to fashion although I do not think you need to spend a fortune to get quality, I also do not think that you need to be super stingy either.

One thing I noticed right away was the low prices of the apparel they were offering, everything from t-shirts and bottoms to bridal wear and doggie clothing.

You can get any of their products customized personally for you, and the greatest part is that you do not have to choose from previously selected quotes and words, but rather can make them up completely on your own.

My favorite was the set of customized underwear or “Hotties” as they refer to them.

When I ordered my set, the deal was 2 pair for $20 which is very reasonable, and the shipping was cheap and very prompt, as I received them in the mail only four days later.

I absolutely love them, and although they are certainly not the most extravagant piece of intimate apparel I have ever bought, I was definitely satisfied with my purchase, and so was my boyfriend once he saw his name inscribed on them.

I must say that there are relatively few pieces that cannot be somehow made to work and look great, but there are still those few styles that I just don’t get.

The Steve Madden chap has started to become quite popular, and even though I keep going back to the website and into stores to check out the shoe now named as “Steve Madden’s Most Wanted”, I still don’t see what all the fuss is about.

There are actually about 20 different versions of this shoe that Madden presently has available, some of which I will let off the hook for the time being while others I simply have to make a point about.

I don’t care who you are, you cannot tell me that these do not remind you of your professor’s worn out old shoes only with a heel stuck on the bottom.

I tried, I really did, to come up with any possible outfit that this shoe could even remotely look decent with, and there was nothing.

Unless you are dressing up as a senior citizen for Halloween, I can’t imagine why anyone would like these shoes - sorry Steve.

Then there is also the Shawnee, which really does a disservice to the moccasin.

Talk about bland and boring - I usually love Steve’s designs, a combination of youth and sophistication, but with these I have to say he has gone off track.

Maybe if there was a higher heel or the fringe and string were scrapped … maybe not. What do you think?
