Runway Rumors: Marc Jacobs to Leave Louis Vuitton?
The fashion world was rocked this morning as several big-name publications (Reuters, Vogue UK, Wall Street Journal) break the news of Creative Director Marc Jacobs’ departure from French fashion house Louis Vuitton.
Right now most publications are reporting that the news comes by way of a source close to fashion company LVMH, but no statement has been released from the design star himself.
He’s made such an impact from the start to the very end. But as my mother likes to say ‘For a season, for a reason.’
This is a great opportunity for MJ to focus on the empire that is the Marc Jacobs brand and I look forward to what he presents next!
3.1 Phillip Lim for Target
For those that know me, they know how much I love bags. Most girls love their shoes, but I am a self-proclaimed bag lady! It all started when I was 5 years old and my father gave me two purses – a day purse and an evening purse, and that is when my love affair with this versatile accessory began.
So when I heard that there was going to be a 3.1 Phillip Lim collection made for Target that included bags, I secretly screamed. Well, maybe it wasn’t so secret! And not only that, it has been reported that the entire collection (apparel and accessories for men and women) will range in cost from $19.99 to $299.99.
Here are four bags that I will be scouting come the day of the launch on September 15!
I’m super excited for this collaboration and can’t wait to add that yellow trapeze bag to my collection!

Featuring – Nayme Necklaces
What’s in a name? Apparently more than you know!
Canadian brand Nayme is a jewelry line that takes the meaning of your name and then makes a pendant to represent it. I love the idea and love the look of these elegant charms.
According to the website, when you buy any Nayme necklace, you also get a personalized box that includes details like the origin and meaning of your name.
So, let’s take a look at my two names – Élana Camille.
According to the Nayme website the meaning of Elana is:
Of Hebrew origin meaning “oak tree”.*
And the meaning of Camille is:
Of Latin origin, Camille means “free born”.*
And here are the two charms that represent them:
A bird and a tree? How fitting that the two should end up complimenting each other.
If you are ever looking for a great gift idea, I’d say look no further. It’s a lovely and sentimental gift.
I know I’ll be sending some not-so-subtle hints to the boyfriend!

DIY – Nail Art Accessories
Give your accessories a facelift with this quick and easy DIY project!
What you need:
- A plain piece of jewellery (I was lucky, my bracelet had a design that was great to “colour in”)
- Nail polish
- A pencil or pen with a very thin tip (for more detailed designs)
- newspaper to keep things clean & tidy
Depending on what type of design you want to do on your piece of jewellery you can “paint” it one of two ways:
- Start with one nail polish colour and pour it out on the newspaper. You shouldn’t need more than the size of a dime to start. Use the thin-tip pencil or pen to create a design on your jewellery
- OR, use the nail polish brush straight from the bottle to coat the piece of jewellery however you like
And don’t forget to check out my video at the end of this post to see the finished product!
Bracelet – Forever 21; Nail polish – Ardene
Last weekend while I was at home and sick , I just couldn’t stay quiet in bed and needed to do something productive to keep myself busy (other than cough my lungs out – at least that’s what it felt like!).
I was looking through my accessories and found this bracelet I bought last year at Forever 21. It already had a great design on it which made it easy to colour in with nail polish.
Think of this as taking nail art to the next level 😉 And just remember to have fun with whatever colours you end up choosing! I also wouldn’t recommend using any piece of jewellery that is expensive or has sentimental value. But that’s just me!
