The Not-So-Simple Bear Necessities

One of my fab readers sent me a photo of Karl Lagerfeld's latest project: The KL Teddy Bear. which she stumbled upon during a recent trip to Europe. The limited edition Lagerfeld Bear held its own cocktail party at Colette, Paris's most fashionable spot. The white plush furred bear resembles Mr. Lagerfeld with his signature sunglasses, black suit, biker key chain and a Swarovski crystal-studded “KL” belt. Not only that, but the fancy bear was also custom styled by Lagerfeld in Chanel’s workshops.

The most fashionable teddy bear on the planet can be purchased online through Neiman Marcus. Less than 2,500 were made and sold worldwide. So how much does the KL Teddy Bear cost? A whopping $1,500!!!! Whoohaaa! Minus the shipping cost & taxes.

Miu Miu Pays Tribute to the Middle East

Everyone who knows me, knows that I have a soft spot for bag charms. They're fun, cute, and add a dose of irresistible character to your plain handbag. So when I got the news about Miu Miu paying tribute to the Middle Eastern culture by presenting an exclusive playful yet multifunctional accessories in luxurious precious skin, I got excited intrigued. The round-shaped charms has the Arabic alphabet, each piece presenting a letter design with metallic hues and vibrant colors. They're cute, nothing groundbreaking. I'm not sure if these bags charms would step up my bag charms game, but I guess it depends on their price tag and how "exclusively" exclusive they are. Maybe they'll grow on me? I don't know... What do you think? The charms should be available exclusively in Miu Miu Boutiques throughout our region.
