You all know how much we love our Hunters, but they seem rather impractical for the Spring/Summer. There is an alternative to heavy rainboots–jelly shoes! You know, like the ones you used to wear as a little girl! We like the idea of splashing through puddles without being worried we’ll ruin our leather or suede but we’re not so sure they’ll keep our footsies warm and dry like rainboots. Only time will tell. Check out these jellies…APRIL SHOWERS bring …jelly shoes

So this cheap jap loves her luxurious goodies but we do not condone purchasing counterfeit bags (cue Chinatown).  Yes, back in the day when we were lowly college students the thought seemed tempting but in the back of our minds we heard our Mother forbidding their purchase. Why? Because she said we would get sold into white slavery once they took us into their secret lairs where the fake bags are kept.  Right or wrong it kept us moving along whenever we found ourselves in Fake Purse Mecca, Chinatizzle.

Yesterday, reported the NY POST, “a man selling counterfeit handbags out of a van in Chinatown held two customers hostage for two hours yesterday when cops showed up, police said.” The makeshift counterfeit shops were vans that were parked on Lafayette from  Canal to Walker streets. The “shopkeeper” panicked when cops approached and wouldn’t allow the two customers, a woman and man inside the van, to go for 2 hours. He was unarmed and gave up after 2 hours. He was charged with unlawful imprisonment in addition to trademark counterfeiting, the charge filed against the other 20.

All this for some fake Louis Vuitton and Burberry bags that probably don’t even look close to appearing real.

So thanks, Mommy. You were right and I’m glad I never turned to a life of crime with fake bags and got trapped in no van with a Chinatown Entrepreneur! Always the straight and narrow for us!

What do you guys think of fake bags?

This is the weirdest new age wannabe commercial. Lindsay Lohan is like a robot. So weird!! And can you imagine how much they’re paying this hussy?!?! Once upon a time we thought Fornarina had some funky and unique pieces…now I just think the brand is trash–which I’m guessing was their goal when they picked Lilo as their spokesmodel.

Usually we think the made for Target lines by fancy designers are rubbish if we’re being completely honest. They look like cheap knock-offs of the real thing. However, we’re kind of digging this bag that will be available soon at the Target by Felix Rey.We think it’s kind of cute for the beach. We probably won’t buy it, but we thought you guys should know that perhaps there may be cute items for spring! They do happen to have adorable bathing suits and good workout clothes by Champion that are reasonably priced!
