Louis Vuitton Monogram Canvas Speedy ($750 – $825) - It’s classic. It’s iconic. It comes in several sizes. And, yes, it’s been knocked off a million times. But the authentic one is a great investment piece. You can wear it with jeans or a little black dress. This little number will always add an element of sophistication to your ensemble.

Christian Louboutin Black Pump Shoes ($775) – Simple, classic and inspirational – you’ll keep your CL black pumps forever. Wear to work or on date night. They go with every occasion and make you look and feel like a million bucks.

Chanel Quilted Flap Shoulder Bag ($2,600) – Also knocked off a million times over, the real deal surpasses replicas. It will never go out of style and you’ll want to wear it with everything. If you could afford both, I say the Louis Vuitton Speedy bag is your day bag and Chanel’s Quilted Flap Shoulder Bag is your evening one. Beyond that, you just don’t need any other handbags (unless you’re bag-addicted like me).

I consider myself a label whore, but even I can spot when something really expensive is also really stupid. Here are my picks for expensive stupid fashion and notes as to why I think they’re dumb.

Louis Vuitton Monogram Transparent Handbags ($1800-$3600): Seriously? See-thru? How many of you ladies keep a neat handbag? I mean, c’mon, Vuitton! The last time I carried a transparent bag I was working retail and it was corporate’s way of making sure we weren’t stealing merchandise. The sheer fashion trend is haute, but not in the form of a handbag.

Christian Louboutin Paw Pumps ($5000): I truly believe CL came up with these shoes to make fun of the 1% who can afford to buy them and are dumb enough to wear them. They have to be a joke, right? I mean, they HAVE to be. Oh, please tell me that CL is just a big ol’ mean girl like me and that these shoes were nothing more than a prank on rich ladies.

Chanel Cabas Eté ($???): WTF? A canvas Chanel tote bag that I can take to the beach? Oh, really? And how easy is it going to be for criminals to knock off this one? Seriously. I’m so disappointed that this is the best Karl Lagerfeld could come up with in order to create a luxury collection at a lower price point. But how much lower is it going to be actually? I’m skeptical. Besides all that, there is absolutely nothing luxurious about faded canvas, even if it does say Chanel.
