I think Marc Jacobs is on crack again… literally. Usually the bags from the Marc by Marc Jacobs line are the only bags from MJ that I can stand. Some of his bags from the couture Marc Jacobs line and Louis Vuitton are just atrocious (Paloma bag & Joke bag anyone?). However, this fall MJ has disappointed me with his Marc by Marc Jacobs line as well.

The Dr. Q line used to be great… until he made it into patchwork. Didn’t he learn from the Stam that patwork does not sell? I actually bought the original Dr. Q satchel last spring because it was so practical, adorable, and affordable. Here is the new Dr. Q for fall. Why mess with a good thing? Get back to the sketchbook and create something new!

If you must, preorder the Marc by Marc Jacobs Dr. Q patchwork satchel from Bergdorf for $558.

Here is the original Dr. Q Groove. Now isn’t the original so much better? Buy it at Bergdorf for $498.

OK, I promise this will be the last posting exclusively about a Chanel cosmetic product for a while. I noticed that I post a lot about Chanel Beaute but that’s because it is so great! Everything!

Inspired by the iconic Chanel camelia, this lipgloss set was exclusive only to Neiman Marcus but is now available at all Chanel counters. I fell in love with it at Neimans and knew I had to have it right away. This was in September. I still have not used this set! I stare at it daily admiring its beauty. I’ll use it someday! Promise! The reds/pinks in this set is just so adorable and the white can be used to add a hint of shimmer in the center of your lips!

Get your limited edition 4 Camelias de Chanel via Saks for $65.

The key to prolonged youthful skin is prevention, prevention, prevention! I strongly believe in using quality skincare because in the long run, it is way cheaper than botox or plastic surgery.

The eyes are the windows to a woman’s age, so I do not skimp on eyecream at all. The right eyecream is everything to preventing aging. Using moisturizer in the eye area doesn’t count! The skin around the eye is a lot more delicate than the face and there are no oil glands as well so it requires its only special cream to keep it moisturized.

My favorite eyecream of right now is the Chanel Sublimage eyecream with Planifolia-PFA from a unique botanical fruit as its main ingredient. It’s from Chanel - so of course the packaging is exquisite. I smile every time I look at the pretty glass jar with chrome lid. I’ve been using this for a few months now (a 0.5oz jar should last 6mo) and have noticed that my undereye dark circles are slightly lighter and some tiny wrinkles underneath my eyes have disappeared a little too! The way to tell a good eye cream is by how nourishing it feels and how fast your skin absorbs the cream. The cream basically gets absorbed the moment I dab it on my eyes!

Buy the Chanel Sublimage eyecream via Saks for $160.

Booties are again the “IT” shoe of the fall and who makes booties better than the shoe god, Louboutin? These Lapano booties have been flying off the shelves before they are even on!

This bootie is absolutely perfect with the 4 1/2″ heel that will make you tall & lean, glamorous red soles that make you feel oh sooo sexy inside, and who can forget about the black patent that is so popular for fall and will never go out of style. Wear these with slacks to work or a sexy mini while you are out and about on the town.

Buy/preorder the Christian Louboutin Lapanos via Saks for $770.

Feast your eyes on the Murakami collection at the LA MOCA (Museum of Cultural Arts in Little Tokyo)! Louis Vuitton fanatics from all across the country (and even the world) are flocking to LA to try to get their hands on a piece of the the limited edition LV Murakami collection at LA MOCA.

I’ll be going this weekend and I’m soooo excited. Hopefully I won’t be too late to snag up some of the super limited edition LV Murakami items. I’m totally in love with the Neverfull (MM is the perfect size). I’ve been thinking about getting a regular Neverfull as tote bags are the most essential and practical bags out there. The Murakami limited edition Neverfull definitely is calling my name. I don’t use agendas as the iPhone is all the life-organization tool that I need but that agenda is super cute too! And how adorable is that Ronde? It’ll be perfect for all the spare change that I have.

The Murakami exhibit at LA MOCA will be running from now (today is the first day open for the public) until February so definitely come check it out!
