New Chanel GST 2010, New Price

Posted on February 9th, 2010 by Fashion Juice (Admin)

Yes Chanel enthusiasts, ladies and gentlemen alike, there is a new Chanel GST or Grand Shopping Tote in town – with a new price. OUCH! A price increase indeed. Why oh Why Chanel do you keep on increasing prices of your bags that fast???

As some of you may already know, the previous Chanel price increase (end of 2009) had affected one of the most iconic bags of all time, the Chanel Flap bag or the 2.55 bag. The medium/large flap bag (yes, it’s called a medium/large) was previously the same price as the Chanel Medallion and GST bags, selling for $2,125. However, it went up to $2,400. This February 2010, it’s Chanel GST’s turn to get affected by the price increase.

I’ve compared two black GST’s from the 2009 and 2010 versions, one in silver hardware and one in gold hardware. Note that the GST comes in silver and gold hardware, with colors such as black, white, beige, bordeaux (red), and brown among other seasonal colors like light pink, mint, etc. Anyway, what’s new with the 2010 GST and what’s the new price?

My Fashion Juice Pair of Shoes Giveaway Winner

Posted on February 9th, 2010 by Fashion Juice (Admin)

Sorry it took me awhile to post this. I’ve been doing this video for almost half a day – only because I had to get the photos, find a song and upload. I featured some of the shoes and have included in the video some of your entries from the contest. It was a bit tedious so I wasn’t able to publish it right on time. It didn’t help that Youtube was also under maintenance and I had to wait a few good hours before my video was up and running.

So, here it is… the moment you all have been waiting for. After 31 entries, I have chosen the winner via Random.org. The winner of My Fashion Juice’s Pair of Shoes Giveaway is…

You have to watch the video to know who the winner is. And to that lucky person: I will email you with the details. Congratulations to you!

xoxo

Prada Perforated Saffiano Tote for Spring

Posted on February 4th, 2010 by Fashion Juice (Admin)

The moment I saw the Prada Perforated Saffiano Tote, I knew I had to share it with you. I definitely see this as a classy bag for Spring. It’s a shopping tote but it looks just as classy as any other leather hobo or medium bag. It doesn’t deserve to be a shopper but a bag to match a flowing floral maxi dress or a tie dye skirt… the Spring fashion… the works!

For $1,350, the Prada Perforated Saffiano tote comes with a gold hardware, shoulder straps with rings, a magnetic closure, and best of all… a detachable zip pouch! I love it! The size of this bag is 12 9/10″H x 14″W x 5 9/10″. And of course, this bag is made in Italy. I love it! This bag comes in three colors. I love this camel color below.

The other colors are…

Weekly Wear 41: Shopaholic, Brandaholic

Posted on February 3rd, 2010 by Fashion Juice (Admin)

I know it’s the middle of the week and Weekly Wear isn’t supposed to be up until the weekend (duh me?). LOL! But I was just feeling bored and wanted to share with you what I wore last week while shopping at NorthPark… The shopaholic and brandaholic eyes were satisfied… but it would have been better if I took home a purse or wallet perhaps? LOL! That would have made the hungry shopaholic and brandaholic full for at least a month or two. LOL!

Valentines Day Gift Ideas #4: Marc by Marc Jacobs Totes

Posted on February 3rd, 2010 by Fashion Juice (Admin)

Marc by Marc Jacob spring/summer totes for under $200 seems to be a very pretty good deal for a Valentines Day gift don’t you think? Your lady love will definitely enjoy a new tote to carry to the beach or to any outing this spring/summer. At the same time, your pockets won’t go as broke if and when you go for a Chanel, LV, Gucci, Bottega, Fendi, Balenciaga, or Hermes for that matter. And besides, who wants to carry those expensive and high maintenance bags to the beach, right? That’s a big OUCH! Imagine all the possible things that can happen to that bag!

So below I’m sharing with you some of the latest totes from Marc by Marc Jacobs that are easy on the pockets…

* Miss Marc Mabel Tote *

my favorite – love the shape for Spring/Summer 2010

Gray/blue Miss Marc print.

Valentines Day Gift Ideas #3: Tory Burch Cuffs

Posted on February 3rd, 2010 by Fashion Juice (Admin)

One affordable luxury you can get your ladies this Valentines are the gorgeous Tory Burch cuffs, specifically, the Skinny Cuff with Tory Burch logo studs. This is definitely an affordable piece of luxury for just $95… and I only say this because cuffs from Louis Vuitton or Hermes would cost five times than this amount. While Tory Burch is no Louis Vuitton or Hermes, Tory Burch is a respected designer brand.

The moment I saw the black python cuffs at Tory Burch’s site decades ago, I fell in love with it. I wanted to get it. However, I decided to get Tory Burch’s signature product first – the Reva Ballerina flats. I also got the Nico tote which I have been checking out for years – literally. And so when it went on sale for more than half the price, I knew I had to get it. Now that I’m done with Tory’s shoes and bag, I am now planning on getting one of Tory’s cuffs.

I saw the gold and silver versions of the black python when I was with my two SIL’s the last time I visited Tory Burch at Highland Park Village in Dallas. Well, I have no budget so I had to pass… my younger SIL got the gold – which was definitely a great choice. It was really pretty! But now, instead of getting the black python, I am liking the Spring/Summer version – the BLUE! It’s so pretty! I love it! I just don’t know if I’m gonna get it or not. I still have to evaluate my wish list. HAHAHA!

But anyway, for the guys out there, if you are looking for a special piece of affordable luxury, Tory Burch is the way to go. For $95, this Tory Burch Skinny Cuff is your best bet! It’s leather and it’s Tory Burch. This will be a perfect accessory for Spring and Summer.

xoxo
