As you all know, It is that go-shopping-for-christmas-presents time of year again! The shopping malls will be PACKED out (as always), and your kids,siblings, parents, etc will be adding something to their 'what I want for Christmas This Year' list. Instead of breaking the bank because of buying designer clothing (which although is a must is also a way to get rid of your money immensly), try and shop online from places like Forever 21, H&M, Bloomingdales ( JC Penny is a NO NO) , and any other stores which have all the seasons latest Ready To Wear and Haute Couture trends but about 90% cheaper! Although wearing a $20 jacket from H&M is not the same as wearing a $1,700 fur coat from Ralph Lauren ,but you will be ALOT happier when it comes down to buying your loved one a new iphone for xmas (all the rage for men)!
Will be updating my website ASAP! Happy Holiday- XOXO- Miss Vintage

Chanel Spring-summer ready to wear
This years Chanel spring-summer ready to wear was fantastic! A huge success! The theme was elegant country side which I thought was a nice idea. Alot of the outfits had that 1800's, yet modern look about them. Each peice of clothing had something special about it! I really loved the way that the models had fun on the catwalk . Chanel usually does not do that kind of stuff. The shoes were very elegant (I would not have minded a pair or two for my self )!
One of my favorite peices was a white outfit(shown in the 1st picture on the far right). I think it has so much elegance and style. I would LOVE to wear this to a party! The music was country side-classical mixed with Lily Allen . The runway was supposed to be a barn in the country side with romance in the air.

The Gaurdian fashion news
Fashion Statement at New York fashion weekJo Jones and Helen Seamons guardian.co.uk, Thursday 17 September 2009 11.40 BST \
A-list celebrity sightings at New York fashion week. Photograph: MattBaron/George Napolitano/Iris Zimmerman/Rex Features/Filmmagic.comTHE SHOWSFor us, the highlight of New York fashion week is just being there. Don't get us wrong, we love the European cities, but two eggs over easy for breakfast, sliding around in a yellow cab, and sales assistants that actually pretend to love their job is refreshing. Star spotting is on an A-list level, with Madonna, Charlize Theron and Victoria Beckham all making appearances. The latter talked us through her latest collection: 19 beautifully executed dresses that any girl would be happy to have in her wardrobe. The one exception was a chrome yellow number, which we suspect would prove slightly tricky on a pale English complexion.In a sea of neutral shows, DKNY and Marc by Marc Jacobs were a refreshing breeze and came with a few styling tips: roll up the trousers, and mix up the colours and prints. DKNY showed bright florals and graffiti prints bursting out from under a slouchy grey suit. The dresses were cut short and sexy and a delicate peony print top was teamed with a bold miniskirt. Marc by Marc was reminiscent of the Desperately Seeking Susan 80's - more is more, then shove a large bow on top. Backstage, British accessories designer Katy Hillier was overseeing the sweet shop selection of accessories in every colour, with the models queuing after the show to take one home. At Mulberry, the models' hair was crimped and backcombed into huge 'dos. Super-short dresses and candy-coloured prints reigned supreme. Over at Philosophy, lip motifs decorated cute summer separates.With New York setting the tone for a colourful spring/summer 2010, we're looking forward to London rising to the challenge and continuing the uplifting mood. FIVE FASHION HIGHS Preen shoes from their spring 2010 collection. Photograph: Michael Loccisano/Getty - Preen's new shoe line - and the show, which was one of our favourites.- Hussein Chalayan's tote bag for Puma was a useful gift to stash the backstage camera, the bulk of which was spoiling the line of our Mulberry Bayswater clutch.- The long-awaited, glass-floored, rooftop club at the Standard Hotel: the Boom Boom Room is hailed by trendies as the biggest thing since Studio 54. Consider your overpriced cocktail an investment for serious A-list spotting along the lines of the Olsen twins, Chloe Sevigny and Madonna.- Spotting the child prodigy blogger, Tavi, on the front row at MJ - wearing Marc, natch. - Madonna's line-free face at Marc Jacobs. Is she trying to look younger than Lourdes? We want her face cream ... or a salary to afford her surgeon.FIVE FASHION LOWS Geisha makeup and Japanese shoes at Marc Jacobs. Photograph: Peter Foley/EPA - Being made to wait and abused by PRs at Rodarte - officially our least favourite show.- Marc Jacobs's geisha-like makeup was not one for St Tropez lovers, and the ugly low-heeled shoes reminded us of Japanese slippers, but without the va-va-voom factor we've come to expect from Marc. The collection too failed to excite, and went perhaps a frill too far.- The mood in the Topshop store on Broadway, which was surprisingly flat in comparison to the mothership at Oxford Circus, London. Our spirits were lifted, however, when we popped next door and brought a Dean & DeLuca Whoopie pie (named after the reaction from the Pennsylvanian-Dutch children who found them in their lunch boxes, fact fans).- Boy maquillage at Thom Browne. We prefer our male models sans slap, thanks. - Pixie Geldof's new 'John Bon Jovi circa 1989' hairdo.TREND PREDICTIONS Betsey Johnson and her models. Photograph: Larry Busacca/Getty Images Gird your loins for the return of the bodysuit: seen at G-Star Raw, DKNY, Derek Lam and Betsy Johnson.Yet more 80s, this time slouchy Desperately Seeking Susan styling and oversized hair bows.Super-short dresses, as favoured by Alexa Chung at Mulberry's Soho House presentation. She was like a kid in a sweetshop - in fact, we all were, as the kind folks at Mulberry provided toffee apples for everyone.Bright prints and Stephen Sprouse-like decoration.OFFCUTS
