Sometimes I think that Kim Kardashian is a lot more like the rest of us than some folks would like to admit. Sure, she has an unconventional career, but she’s used her money exactly like so many fashion-loving women would: to buy as much fabulous bags, shoes and clothing as she can possibly wear (and probably more). I know that if I won the lottery, the first thing on my agenda would be a new wardrobe, and Kim’s living the dream.

Just like the rest of us, though, she seems to have her favorite go-to pieces. The Chanel Quilted Satchel that she’s carrying in these pictures with Ciara seems to be among them, and if I remember correctly, she might have this bag in two colors. She pairs it with Christian Louboutin Alta Bouton Ankle Boots, while Ciara pairs what appears to be a grey Givenchy Satchel with Giuseppe Zanotti Crystal-Studded Suede Boots.

Before we talk about the bag, lets discuss exactly how beautiful the babies would be if Katie Cassidy and apparent Gossip Girl love interest Chace Crawford were actually in love and got married and had babies? They’re both just about as conventionally attractive as mortal humans can be, and the combination of their genes would probably cause Earth to tilt ever-so-slightly off its axis.

Anyway, on to the clothes. I’m not loving the outfit that the show’s stylists have chosen for Cassidy in these photos, but I do love some of its elements. First and foremost, her Salvatore Ferragamo hobo is beautiful – the color variation is totally unique, but it’s still neutral and wearable. I also like her Alexander McQueen Zipper Dress, and I don’t so much mind her Givenchy pumps, but the Alexander Wang blazer just isn’t doing it for me. It has an awkward cutout in the back and it’s also totally shapeless, and I just don’t think it’s Wang’s best work.

There are certain occasions when it is ok to try to match your date/boyfriend/husband. Going to lunch at a burger joint is not one of them, especially when it involves your boyfriend wearing leopard printed loafers. But leave that to Scott Disick, who is always trying to put on a scene to garner attention. I know it is his ‘thing’ to dress like he is heading to a high society event at every moment of his life, but he always looks like he is trying far too hard.

Last week, Kourtney Kardashian and Scott went to lunch and matched in leopard print with her Rebecca Minkoff shorts and his YSL loafers. I actually like Kourtney’s outfit for a laid-back summer look. She was also wearing a Chaser tank, Joie blazer, Givenchy flats, Balenciaga sunglasses, and lastly a Balenciaga bag.

It’s a well-established fact that I kind of love Nicole Richie – I’ve thought that she was hilarious ever since her Simple Life days, and it’s nice to see her finally come to a point in her life where she seems happy with herself. Her personal style has only gotten better over those years, and you only have to take a look at her various clothing and accessories lines to know that.

I’m not sure where she is that such a cozy outfit is necessary (we’re sweating it out in my neck of the woods), but it’s nice to see her wearing the Chanel sunglasses that she made so famous a few seasons back. I’ve always loved them on her, even if they aren’t the kind of glasses that a lot of people can pull off. Her Givenchy Nightingale Bag probably has a wider appeal, and come to think of it, I can’t think of a single person that wouldn’t look great with one on her arm.

The Kardashian sisters are girls after my own heart. They seem to have used their reality show profits to do nothing but buy designer handbags, and isn’t that the fantasy life that we all have swirling around in our heads somewhere? Wouldn’t it be incredibly awesome if you suddenly had a ton of money but didn’t have the willpower to stop yourself from buying anything but a truckload of designer bags? It probably won’t seem like as good of an idea a few years down the road, but bless their hearts for entertaining us with all of their goodies for now.

In these pictures, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian manage to pack three designer bags in to one set of photos. Khloe is carrying her favorite Givinchy Nightingale Bag and also rolling a Louis Vuitton Pégase Suitcase in Damier Graphite. For her part, Kourtney is carrying a bright blue Chanel Tote, and I imagine that her Louis Vuitton luggage can’t be far behind.

Oh, the ever-entertaining Kardashian sisters. It’s hard to keep track of their various publicity stunts, and harder still to separate them from real life. Did Kim Kardashian break up with Reggie Bush? Hard to say. Even harder to say why. And why did Khloe Kardashian get married to Lamar Odom so quickly? Even harder to say.

What we do know, however, is that Kourtney Kardashian had a baby and is now busy being a young mom. Here, Khloe is being a good sister and helping put the baby in the car – baby seats are complicated, so it’s probably good that they work together. Also, we know who made the handbags that they’re holding. The dark brown one on Kourtney’s shoulder is a Bottega Veneta Maxi Veneta Hobo, and the tote that she’s holding for her Khloe is the Givenchy Nightingale Tote. Oh, and Kourtney’s shoes? Christian Louboutin.

Ok, so maybe Khloe Kardashian doesn’t actually have an umbrella attendant. It’s possible that she’s just handing handing off the umbrella to her assistant or one of the other various and sundry handlers she travels with, getting ready for an unobstructed strut in front of the adoring(?) paparazzi. We know how much those Kardashians love to happen on a group of photographers.

I must admit, however, that Khloe is looking pretty good here. The Kardashians have the best hair of any family on the planet, without a doubt, and I’m eternally jealous. Her coat and shoes are actually garments befitting a grownup, and her Givenchy Nightingale Tote is forever a fashionista favorite. She may want to ask for that umbrella back, however – I wouldn’t want that beautiful bag to get wet.

Don’t get me wrong – I love the Zoe Saldana usually picks slightly unorthodox dresses for award shows. If more stars did that, the red carpet would be a whole lot more fun to watch than it is, and it’d also be more fun to write about. In and of itself, the fact that Zoe does her own thing and has her own personal style is an unabashedly positive thing.

On a case by case basis, however, things get a bit more tricky. I loved her non-traditional Louis Vuitton dress at the Golden Globes, but I cannot stand the Givenchy Haute Couture dress that she chose for the 2010 Academy Awards. It looks like some sort of purple sea creature is slowly creeping up her body, eating the much more attractive dress that she had actually chosen. That dress appears from the ribcage up and is covered in beautiful couture beading – everything from where the lilac fabric stars, on down to where it ends in deep purple ruffles is apparently feeding on it. On second thought, however, this look may be oddly appropriate for an actress that has made her name in big-budget SciFi flicks.

At first I was surprised to see Shakira carrying such a large bag. If memory serves correctly, she’s under five feet tall, correct? Or somewhere thereabouts, at least. She’s exceptionally petite, and the Givenchy Couture Padded Nightingale makes even starlets of average size look tiny. But she’s kind of owning it here, surprisingly.

Not only does the size look appropriate on her, but the navy color looks fantastic next to her army green blazer. Her skinny jeans and platform ankle boots also go a long way toward increasing her petite stature, and the entire thing looks easy and casual. I might change the wash of the jeans a bit, but the only thing I have a real problem with is her hair. I know that slightly odd hairstyles are often Shakira’s wont, but I’m just not a fan of blond quasi-dreads. On anyone. Ever. Even her.

Welp, even celebrities have bad days. Sure, we all know this, but at least you don’t get photographed by the paparazzi as you grab the parking ticket off your windshield. While I am usually able to control my frustration, if I was followed by the paparazzi all day every single day and they caught me looking at a parking ticket, they would see a none-too-pleased Shannon.

However, Hilary Duff certainly has her acting down pat, because she wasn’t photographed unleashing the furry as she picked up her ticket.

Hilary was seen leaving the Ken Paves Hair Salon in West Hollywood carrying a gorgeous Givenchy Large Corset Chain Nightingale in black. I absolutely love this bag. I’ve been drooling over it for a while now and each time I see someone carry it, I love it even more. The only drawback, the price. At over $2300, I need to save up for this one. Forget about my love for the bag, Hilary clearly loves it too. While this bag goes well with so much, it looks fabulous with her casual yet chic outfit. Now, if I could just get my hands on that bag!

Well, I must say that though this photo of Kim Kardashian arriving at Miami International Airport showcases some serious jetsetter sophistication, it gave me quite a bit of trouble in the identification process. You see, I thought she was Kourtney Kardashian… oh, how wrong I was, and I am ever so thankful to a dear fashionisto friend who helped me sort it out.

Now, back to the Kardashian at hand. This is what I’d call, quite simply, a superb travel outfit. But it’s the accessories, the YSL Y Platform Booties and Givenchy Large Elschia Sac, which take the outfit from plain traveler to supremely stylish jetsetter. Oh, and she’s wearing sunglasses inside. I almost forgot that bit.

They say that it’s best to travel in comfortable basics; that’s what Juicy tracksuits were made for, right? Well, clearly Kim does not belong to this camp, and I respect her for elevating the general airport fashion, which is sadly usually at a low level. With good reason, though, with good reason. But Kim’s basics are not without practicality: her Givenchy bag is a glam version of a tote, and her YSL booties- well, I suppose they’re not too difficult to take off for security.

I’ve never been in a movie (shocking, I know, but I’ve got a lot of life left to live), but I imagine that if I ever WAS in one, and I knew that an army of professionals were going to slather me in makeup and hair product and choose my clothes for me every day, then this is exactly how I would show up for the set every day, except I would be wearing flip flops or UGGs, depending on the weather. Because of that, I can’t bring myself to hate on Sarah Jessica Parker too much in these photos.

Sure, she doesn’t look great, but why go to the effort of doing your hair and makeup if they’re going to immediately redo it as soon as you get to work? At least she chose a great bag: the Givenchy Sacca Tote has long been one of my favorites, and Givenchy has been extremely popular recently with fashionistas in the know. It’s one of those brands that’s only recognizable to other fashion people, and sometimes that’s exactly what you want. If you’re a snob. Which, ya know, I am.
