Juicy Couture Motif Umbrella, $55
The Gap Spring Umbrella, $16.50
Luis Vuitton Monogrammed Mini, $515.00
With April coming up quick, it’s time to get ready for the rainy season…and yours truly will be visiting the city of lights during their notorious rain season as well. So naturally, I started to look for a stylish umbrella, and here is what I found for you!
While you can buy an imitation LV umbrella for as cheap as $20, the real thing is a shocking $550! The Juicy Couture umbrella was cute, but not as classy so I looked a little bit deeper and found my perfect umbrella for springtime in France: the checked Burberry!
Burberry Mini Check, $125.00
Burberry Check Rain Boot, $130.00
Not only did I find the umbrella, but cute rain boots too! Now if I could only find the matching raincoat…

Good Girl Fleece Set, $130
Good Girl “Too Good for You” tee, $32
Fashion can be comfy too…even celebrities don’t mind being snapped in their sweats and tees! Especially when they are as cute as one of LeFashionista’s newest brands “Good Girl.”
Good Girl’s fleece set and tee are perfect for Yoga class, lazy days and even when you just want to be comfy at school or out shopping.
For other “casual couture” wear, we suggest Primp, Juicy Couture, and some of LeFashionista’s other designers like Urbane Couture, Crown and Tiara Industries and more!

Dior Flight Leather Shopper, $1,370.00
Tom Ford Whitney Sunglasses, $300.00
San Tropez Wedge, Juicy Couture, $190.00
So it’s probably just wishful thinking but Eluxury.com had some drool-worthy accesories for my Parisian escape. I would absolutely love a new bag, sunglasses and shoes before I hit beaucoup shoppes and if I could, these are what I would totally get.
Even though the current situation in Paris is a little, well, riotous, cross your fingers for me that things will be back to normal for my vacay!
Okay, so in reality I probably will only get a new watch battery and dust off my old Gap hobo bag, but I only have a few days to finish my pre-vacation shopping. What am I forgetting?
What is the one fashion item that you simply could not live without while vacationing? Lip gloss? Umbrella? Good shoes? Tell us your favorite travel accesories and the best ones will be published in my Vacation Packing guide before I leave. Thanks!

That’s right my little Fashionistas…I’m going to Paris in exactly 12 days and I can’t wait! Perhaps THE best shopping destination besides NYC, Paris is home to all the best designers. Hermes, Chanel, Dior and more!
So far, I plan to go to Bon Marche, their big department store/mall, and of course, the Champs-Elysees, even though it’s more touristy than Haute Couture these days.
Until then, I’m going to give you a little preview of where I may go and what to buy, but I need your help! Anyone ever been to Paris? Where are the best deals hiding? Help!

Bebe, Spring 2006 L.A. Fashion Week
Okay Bebe designers, we get it…your first ever L.A. Fashion Week and you want to make a big impression by being really different. You want to separate yourself from your mall girl club wear lines by doing something REALLY couture. So you thought that a flower-inspired theme would do wonders and really awe people. Well…
Unfortunately, these styles even manage to be unflattering on the models…so how are real people supposed to wear them? The tulip bottomed, rusched satin skirts hit right at an area that most people want to minimize, and on top of that, add a lot of volume.
Not only are the styles just a little too 80’s-futuristic for me, but their color palate was primarily black, red and gray. Snore.
Oh well…if anything, I like the models side-slicked buns…they were kind of cute. Sad to say, but I think that Bebe needs to stick with making tube tops for teenagers and leave the designer stuff to the pro’s.

Agent Provocature at L.A. Fashion Week, Spring 2006 line
Victoria’s secret…you’ve met your match. Fashion week was abuzz over Agent Provocateur’s sassy and sexy lingerie. Known for their “Bond-girl” sexy charm, Agent Provocateur’s line caught the eye of celebrities like Christina Aguilera.
Check out their artsy burlesque-like website for more styles at www.agentprovocateur.com.

5 pocket boot-cut Monroe, $165.00 5 pocket Western Fawcett, $300.00
Even though they have only really been around since 2004, Antik Denim made a splash at L.A. Fashion week where denim ruled. Their style is truly Californian with a “western-aesthetic” of slim cuts and rugged details.
While last season, their looks were very tribal and colorful, Antik Denim got in touch with their dark side and created a look that was very rock n’ roll.

Could it be? Are cowboy hats going to be a big thing again this summer? Dang, I was hoping they would die out with cowboy boots, vests and chaps.
Seems as though the cowboy hat, particularly of the straw variety, is around to stay. Much like Ugg boots, they really took off for a while and just won’t go away.
The truth is, they are kind of cute, but not just anyone can wear a cowboy hat. So if you are one of the daring few, rock that straw contraption for another season. Why not? They’re more interesting than a regular sun hat and more refined than a trucker cap.
May we suggest…If you are going to try out the cowboy hat thing, play it safe and get a relatively cheap one, like this one from Target. Similar to one that Beyonce was seen wearing last summer, it’s cute without being crazy.
Straw Hat from Target, about $12

Sheryl Crow leaving the Rock and Republic
show in L.A.
Victoria Beckham’s Line for
Rock and Republic
It always seems like it’s fashion week somewhere around the world…this week, Los Angeles is host to the event until Friday, March 24. These invitation-only events are usually extended to celebrities, fashion critics and buyers only. Nowhere near as upscale as New York or Paris’s fashion week, L.A. is known for it’s strange fashion events.
It’s interesting to see how each city reacts to Fashion Week…in L.A., Rock and Republic and Agent Provocateur may be the big shows to attend, while in New York, John Galliano and Badgley Mischka are huge.
My biggest shock? Bare breasts at Rock and Republic for the Beck’s line. Really, I expected a little more from a former Spice Girl, although it doesn’t look like her line has departed much from that former Spice style.
