Mail Bombs: Valerie Jarrett’s Givenchy Handbag, J. Lo’s Cherry Necklace, and Wardrobe Advice!

Spring is here in Paris, and all I want to do is sit at a cafe!

I’ll make this quick!

First Gemini says, “Do you guys have any idea who makes this luscious tote that Valerie Jarrett is holding?”

“ I can barely contain my bag envy–it would be perfect to lug all my grad school books!”
Obama’s senior advisor only deals with quality, made obvious by her $1,695 Givenchy Nightingale Medium Patent Bag:

It’s quite a splurge, but if you want to save, check out our guide to Investment Bags for any budget!

Next Kimberly says, “Can you tell me who makes the necklace Jennifer Lopez and her BFF Leah Remini are wearing below?”

Adriana says, “According to the J-Lo fan site, the ladies were snapped leaving jewelry store Frances Klein, so it’s possible they bought them inside. Klein specializes in classic jewels, and you can contact the store through their web site to inquire. In the meantime, you can cop some similar alternatives that probably won’t be as hard on your budget!”

1. Mini Gold Vermeil Cherry Necklace, $88. 2. Juicy Couture Wish Necklace, $48. 3. Jennifer Zeuner Cherry Necklace GirlProps Cherry Necklace, $6.

Tima from NYC says, “I’m a young fashion student but I’m stumped in a particular area: EASTER SUNDAY :/ lol. My mother wants to dress me but we have TOTALLY different views. I’m an edgy girl! I still want to look classy and Easter appropriate with the pretty pastel colors but I like to always make a statement with my clothing. Can you help me out with this one??? Remember, a sista is on a budget. Thanks!!!”

Go for these church appropriate dresses in pretty Easter colors with details like belts, bright colors, and patterns that speak to your edge. Add a white cropped jacket (like this $15 Forever 21 Jacket) to strapless or spaghetti strap styles to keep it conservative:

1. B. Darlin Solid Sheath Dress, $49.  2.  T Bags Turquoise Geometric Bandeau Strapless, $100. 3. J.Crew Slub Cotton Melody Dress, $98. 4. Victoria’s Secret Tweed Tulip Tank Dress, $148.  5. Arden B Printed Ruffle Chiffon Dress, $78. Pictured: Forever 21 Jasmine Jacket, $15.

Lastly, Tabatha says, “I have to attend a dinner with my husband and he is wearing a tan linen suit with a brown or cream shirt. I can’t find a dress to coordinate–I want to look like we came together! I can’t spend over $300 and I prefer something knee length or shorter to show off my legs. I have 2 weeks to find a dress. Please help!!”
For clues on how to coordinate with your boo, look no further than super couple Will and Jada Smith:

The lovebirds always manage to look fresh and fly in coordinated outfits.  For a brown or cream shirt, I’d actually go for a light ivory or beige dress with brown details. If you want to play with colors, encourage your husband to pick a shirt that goes with your dress. Try the following:

Combination 1: Banana Republic Graphic Sheath Dress, $150. Kenneth Cole New York Basic Dress Shirt, $45. A.B.S Garbardine all in one Dress, $162.  Combination 2: Maggy London Cutaway Silk Dress, $138. Kenneth Cole New York Basic Dress Shirt, $45. Tracy Reese Couture Wool Embellished Dress in Blue Violet, $200. Combination 3: Taylor Jacquard Dress, $140. Faconnable Classic Fit Dress Shirt, $125. BCBG Max Azria Pleated Collar Dress, $220.

I’m off to eat a crepe! Have great weekends:)

Bisous!

*We didn’t have any luck finding Rihanna’s fur. Sorry! If it’s any consolation, it’s spring…time to stash away those cold weather coats!
