So, why tote? Well, Lady Gaga and her now one-of-a-kind-inscribed-by-Japanese-fans white Hermes Birkin bag kind of inspired us. We also love this shape revival for a number of reasons. First of all tote bag is a classic that you can use for years to come. Secondly it’s practical and will simplify your commute. Tote bag is also versatile – it will work for the office, picnic or evening.

Made from materials ranging from high-end luxurious leathers such as Hermes Birkin bag to LL Bean’s classic canvas, tote bags provide instant update to your look even if you want to skimp on everything else.

P.S. Spotted this Alexander McQueen tote at Zappos and couldn’t help but added it to this feature. Looks like a chic army sack, isn’t it?

LOS ANGELES, CA — Kim Kardashian recently attended Rich Soil launch at Kitson (10/21/2009) with her mom in tow. Kim wore for the occasion a burgundy mini dress with cutouts that, may we say, was the essence of fall fashion packing several hot trends! Kim’s dress featured animal pattern (leopard), asymmetry, strong shoulders and, of course, perfect fall color. Have you seen the cover of November 2009 US edition of Vogue Magazine?

By the way, Kim’s a huge fan of asymmetry. Kim resently wore similar style to Late Show With David Letterman.

The 29-year-old socialite accessorized with black Spanx tights, black Fendi Mary-Jane platform heels [sold out,was $775] and Christian Louboutin Triangolo black satin clutch with bow detail. Kim used the clutch once before back in July 2009.

Military style jackets with frogging embroidery, which were the staple of Michael Jackson’s concert wardrobe and were commonly used as officer’s uniform in many armies around 18th century through early 20th century, became one of the hottest trends in 2009.

The style was brought back by Christophe Decarnin for Balmain Spring 2009 Collection and re-interpreted by many other designers for Spring and Fall 2009. The trend was further fueled by Michael Jackson untimely passing away, which created real demand for military style he loved so much.

Photo above shows Jackson’s military style jackets that he wore at different times: (front row, L to R): Hollywood Walk of Fame Black Sequin Jacket; Red sequined jacket; Sequined jacket from the Victory Tour; (back row, L to R): Black Faux Leather Jacket worn to a 1998 press conference regarding plans for proposed theme park Majestic Kingdom; Military Jacket worn to the 26th Annual NAACP Image Awards; Black and Red Military Jacket; Red Sequin Jacket worn during the making of “What More Can I Give;” Black and Gold Jacket worn at a 1993 press conference with Nelson Mandela; Silver Sequin Jacket from the Victory Tour.

While Balmain jackets are extremely expensive finding limited audience including celebrities, we wanted to present less expensive alternatives. So here’s what we dug up:

BB Dakota Lombard Jacket $75 via Boutique To You.
