The most common question we receive at Bella Bag is, "How do you know if a bag is real??"

Although it certainly does not cover every angle of authenticity, this is a great starter video on authenticating Louis Vuitton handbags: how to tell a real Louis Vuitton Bag from a fake Louis Vuitton Bag (video courtesy of videojug.com)

Tamara Mellon and Christian Slater Part Ways

So long to the sweet (*true*) romance that was keeping fashion fanatics everywhere in tune! Tamara Mellon, president of Jimmy Choo (London) and Halston (US), has reportedly parted ways with her boyfriend of over 2 years, Christian Slater.

Although the two were seen together as recently as last Easter vacationing in Capri and rumors were flying that Mellon would soon be relocating to LA from London with her daughter Minty to be closer to Slater, sources have now confirmed that the pair have called off their relationship.

Britain's Daily Mail was told that, "We all thought Tamara and Christian were made for each other, but the pressures of their respective careers meant they were spending too much time apart..."

We love a strong woman at Bella Bag and, Tamara Mellon has been on our radar for years as one of the fashion's top contributors and female entrepreneurs. Not only is the dynamic lady responsible for turning Jimmy Choo into a lifestyle brand, but she has also revolutionized Halston over the course of the past 3 years as well.

"Tamara always puts her daughter first and with two businesses - her shoe brand Jimmy Choo and American fashion label Halston - to run as well, it's all been too difficult. Tamara speaks very fondly of Christian and I'm sure they will stay good friends," says the Daily Mail.

Pink Chanel on Nicky Hilton

So we're obv crazy about Pink Chanel (and Chanel in general of course)...and so it was more than fun to see that Nicky Hilton had toted around a pink 2.55 in her day. Although its certainly not the most flattering pic of her {love Nicky!}, it just goes to show you that even on our not-so-great days, we can all vibe that super classic style!



What do you think? Do you like Nicky's pink purse? Check out our pink quilted Chanel bag at Bella Bag for a slightly...well...silkier & more vintage version of Nicky's Chanel stunner.

Check out Shenae Grimes carrying this adorable vintage Gucci bag! It is such a classic shape, with a long crossbody, adjustable strap. Over here at Bella Bag we are big Shenae fans. She's got a look that mixes the latest trends with the best wardrobe staples...

Can anyone ID the beaded necklace she's wearing? They actually are very reminiscent of the kukui but beads I was given on a recent trip to Hawaii, do you know what I mean?
