I Love Marc Jacobs.

Marc Jacobs is a through-and-through New Yorker...and design powerhouse. Jacobs is perhaps most famous for his own label, Marc Jacobs, but he has also branched out into a diffusion line (Marc by Marc Jacobs), a children's line (Little Marc), and he's the fashion director of the oh-so-glamorous house of Louis Vuitton.

Jacobs learned his trade at the High School of Art and Design, and perfected it at the Parsons School of Design. Quite the pedigree. Immediately after his study at Parsons, Jacobs began to work for the Perry Ellis label. However, he was fired from this job after he designed a line of grunge clothing. I personally looove grunge, but apparently Perry Ellis doesn't agree. However, I'm not too upset that he got fired because otherwise, Marc Jacobs may not exist today.

Marc Jacobs is also noted for famously creating the first ready-to-wear line for Louis Vuitton after he was appointed Creative Director in 1997. Other than his fashion, Marc Jacobs is known for his unique look. Until recently, Jacobs would usually don a plain blue button-down shirt, khakis, white sneakers, thick glasses, and greasy hair. Thankfully, he's gotten his act together (by going to rehab), gotten in shape, and transformed his entire look. Check out this dramatic before and after:



Marc Jacobs is hands down loved by celebrities. Here are Hilary and Haylie Duff sporting Marc Jacobs' Hudson Leather Tote.

Sofia Coppola looks absolutely stunning on the 2004 Oscars red carpet in this purple Marc Jacobs gown.

...And here's Pharell rocking out some white Marc Jacobs aviators.

Marc by Marc Jacobs is geared more toward the teen crowd...and who better to represent this demographic than OC phenom Rachel Bilson. She looks cool as always in a red Marc by Marc Jacobs polka-dot top.

Sticking with the polka dot theme, here's a cute navy polka dot Marc by Marc Jacobs satchel.

$258.00

I've already mentioned his children's line Little Marc. Here's a sample.

$395.00

Last but not least, it's everyone's favorite ex-supermodel Tyra Banks carrying a Louis Vuitton soft briefcase.

Lindsay Lohan...her life is a trainwreck, but her style is still chic

Lindsay Lohan emerged as a lovable child star in flicks such as The Parent Trap II and Life-Size. These days however, she's become TMZ's favorite accident waiting to happen...literally. It seems like everytime I turn around, she's either stumbling out of a night club with BFF Samanta Ronson, or vowing sobriety the next morning. Either way, j'adore vraiment her style.


Here she is wearing the Signature Lohan Look...grayscale, leggings, leather handbag, and boots. The bag is by Rebecca Minkoff...and it is a beauty.











I've never heard that name before, so I went ahead and did some research on this designer. Turns out, she is not simply a one-hit-wonder. Below are just a few examples of her genius.

Rebecca Minkoff Small Nikki Hobo $600.00
Rebecca Minkoff Matinee $625.00
Rebecca Minkoff Royal Blue Tote $595.00


I did even more research and turns out, Ms. Lohan is not the only celeb with a Minkoff beauty draped on her arm...

Hilary Duff

Hayden Panettiere

Back to Lohan. Another facet to her signature style is eyewear. I can't remember the last time I saw a picture of her without a pair of cooler-than-cool shades. She may be responsible for bringing back the Ray-bans.

And again, she's not the only one...

Ray-Ban Wayfarer $139.00
Rachel Bilson



Lindsay Lohan Leggings. This should be her official title or something. Yet another one of her signatures is the ever-present leggings paired with a leather boot. No matter how often she dons this combo, it never seems to get old. Completely unfair. If I wore leggings even half as much as she does, I would never hear the end of it.



The last, and probably most recognizable facet of the Lindsay Lohan Look is the chameleon-esque transformation. In other words, one day she's a red-head, the next day she has Audrey Hapburn black hair, and the next day she's Miami platinum blonde! She gets to live the best of three worlds! NOT FAIR.








Which do you like best?

The funniest (if not saddest) part about Lindsay Lohan's little shopping habit is that she's going broke!!! MediaTakeOut.com states that Ms. Lohan has nearly spent all of her $30M by shopping it all away! I can't even imagine how someone who dresses so casually (note the leggings-boots-tshirt uniform mentioned above), can spend even 1/3 of that.

Anyway, Lohan is now reportedly on a $1,000 a day budget. She is often seen putting dresses, bags, etc. on hold and waiting until the next day to purchase them in order to stick to this budget. $1,000/day is pretty staggering to us average non-celebrities since it equals out to $365,000 a year...on clothes! I would consider that a pretty handsome salary, but I guess when you're used to wearing $2,000 Chanel handbags, I suppose this budget could take some getting used to. After all, Britney Spears is known to spend over $16,000 a month to ensure that she doesn't wear the same thing twice.
