Get a load of this! Madonna’s new campaign for Louis Vuitton has been revealed and its everything we hoped it would be. Check out those legs, those shoes, that bag *drool*. LV’s creative director, Marc Jacobs, admitted that the choice to use Madge was a light bulb moment.
“I just blurted out, ‘I think we should do Madonna,”‘ he said, adding that he’d attended her Paris concert the night before. “I was totally just blown away by it, and moved by her performance, by what she had to say, and her energy.”

By Andrea Kiliany Thatcher on November 25th, 2008
We know you’ve got a lot of parties going for the holiday season whether it’s beer at a friend’s house or a grand gala. So throughout the holiday season we’ll be dedicating our Designer Pick of the Week on Tuesdays and our Bargain Pick of the Week on Thursdays to party dresses. So everyone gets tons of inspiration for their own looks, and you can check out fun frocks at various price points.
Today we chose Zac Posen’s silk love dress, $1,800, for its unique color. The lime full-skirted dress with stitch panel detailing will really stand out among the sea of reds and greens at holiday get togethers.

This year, we know everyone is all about the budget shopping. So we’re compiling four mega gift lists made up entirely of items that cost less than $200. This week is 20 gifts under $200, and the lists will become less expensive as the holidays approach and your money starts running out! Look out for 10 gifts under $100 next week, followed by 50 gifts under $50 and 10 gifts under $10 to fill up those stockings the week before Christmas.
What’s the gift under $200 that’s going to start us off? The Snow-Filled Sky Scarf from Anthropologie, $42. Whimsical and warm, we can’t think of a lady in our lives who wouldn’t love this colorful wool scarf.

Usually Louis Vuitton has luxe luggage product placement down – especially in period movies.
But it looks like Prada won this round with a fab set of custom-made luggage for Nicole Kidman’s character Sarah in Australia.
The set includes trunks, suitcases, hat boxes and a picnic set crafted of the brand’s signature pergamena leather.

While most December magazine news revolves around that other Jennifer, actress Jennifer Connelly caught our attention in the December 08 issue of Marie Claire.
You can see her in the season’s best Little Black Dresses just in time for the party season, and we’ve got a sneak peek at her in CRHEE’s Slowdive dress from their fall/winter collection above.
(And if you’re wondering, she’s wearing Pierre Hardy shoes.)

Compared to reports from Tokyo, the US reception of the Comme des Garcons for H&M collection was tame. By 11:00 this morning the 5th Avenue store had calmed down, and you could shop pretty easily. If you wanted to.
As ShinyStyler Sharon said, “it really isn’t that great and pretty expensive.” So it looks like the rumors of overpricing were not exaggerated.
But for the die-hard Comme des Garcons fan, it’s still a unique opportunity to own a piece from your favorite designer.

Sure everyone gets to vote (today! so go do it!) but not everyone can buy Alexander McQueen – until this spring!
Rumors of an Alexander McQueen for Target collection were true, but the designer will not be creating a collection for the Go International range.
Instead, the limited edition collection will be for a new initiative called Designer Collaborations which launches in March. The project is said to focus on young and emerging designers.

We’re not sure whose caviar dreams include spending $1,000 plus on a Halloween get-up, but at least this one is fabulous and has a life outside a closet full of slutty Disney princess costumes.
The Luella Penelope Ribbon Dress, $1,130, is darkly gothic and fashionably sexy.
It also requires some creativity on your part. Sure, you could be a witch, or you could be a dark fairy, a dead socialite? Tell us your stylishly spooky ideas in the comments!
