The fashion world has gone green if you haven't noticed. Lauren Bush is the latest celeb to jump on the eco-conscious wagon with her "Feed Bag" made of natural burlap and cotton. Bush has been the honorary spokesperson for WFP for the last three years and has traveled around the world extensively to help with food aid. Amazon.com is the exclusive retailer of the Feed bag with proceeds directly benefiting United Nations' World Food Program. It retails for $59.95 and is reversible. Each bag sold will bring in $34 to WFP, enough to provide one starving child lunch every school day for an entire year. Look how cute this bag is! The reversible side is just as adorable, I'll use this everywhere, to the gym, to grocery shop, and to the park with my son. I just ordered several of the Feed bags and plan to give them away as gifts, my friends will love knowing that their gifts directly helped feed hungry kids around the world! Order yours today at Amazon.com and get free shipping!

The Feed Bag is reversible, this is the backside, the white is the reversible way of using it. 1 is for the number of child buying this bag will feed for a year (school lunch).

Is it me or does Sara Michelle Geller look like a dwarf carrying this Lanvin Kentucky tote? If you're only 62 inches tall, you should not carry a bag that's a third of your height and dragging down to your ankles. This is a bag made for glamazons like Charlize Theron and Cameron Diaz. Sara Michelle should have gone with the Kansas tote, it would have made her look taller and saved her from the risk of tripping over her own bag. Lanvin bags at Barneys New York.

Actual size of YSL Downtown Mini

We're annoyed with monstrously large bags that sleep parties of 5 but what about the opposite end of the spectrum? Baby bags so tiny that only monopoly money will fit inside are just as useless. Our Guest Editor, the Bag Wh*@# (Real life fashion editor of one of our favorite magazines!), reports:

The other day, I almost took a tinkle in my La Perlas because of something I saw. The Downtown patent YSL bag is being produced in mini size...so your pocket-sized Olsen-esque friend or spoiled toddler can carry her very own. I don't think they were thinking of MK and Ashley but whoever is under five feet, hates big satchels and wants the fashion can stop complaining because YSL has the bag for you. It's completely sick and wrong -it's only about four dollars less than the mid size or xtra large versions. It turns out that Marc has minis on Mercer too. And you know you can get L'il Louis Speedys and baby Birkins that fit in your palm. What's going on here? Everyone's so....adjustable an accommodating....I'm not sure I like that. The Bag Wh*@# doesn't want to ever be common or pedestrian.

Speaking of strange bags-did you hear that Paris Ho-ton and Nicole Bitchie will be gracing a Harper's Bazaar cover shortly? Will that SELL? Who cares other than Samantha Thavasa? I'm sure there will be some stirring and shaking but the Bag Wh*@# is too much of a lady to discuss rumblings in someone's trousers. I guess I'm suppose to know this but who the hell IS Samantha Thavasa? The stuff is neither witty, drop dead gorgeous or chic. They're barking! Get rid of these two. Am I alone here?

Naomi Campbell, sentenced to 5 days of community service last week at the Department of Sanitation in NYC for beating her maid, carefully orchestrated daily outfits to maximize the PR exposure this opportunity offered her. The world watched with fascination as she showed up day after day in furs, diamonds, spike heels, and designer bags. She even ordered a sanitation cop to carry her crocodile bag on day 2~Now is this not the most ridiculous thing you've ever seen? (nice to know our tax dollars are being put to good use!) Campbell ended the week with a silver couture gown, sashaying to her matching silver rolls royce as if she were on a catwalk. She redeemed herself slightly after apologizing to Lt. John Fitzgerald and announcing her wardrobe for the week will be sold with proceeds being donated to the Nelson Mandela foundation. Can anyone guess the three bags shown in the photos above?

UPDATE: Check this out in the New York Daily News, these photos are rumored to be for W magazine's July issue! Steven Klein took these paparazzi style photos for the mag for publication.

From Page Six of the New York Post: "Anna Wintour is as picky with words as she is with her wardrobe. According to one Vogue-er, "They are expanding the Vogue Web site and getting more involved with the Internet. But Anna hates the word 'blog' so much, she refuses to call anything on her site a blog and has charged her staff with coming up with a new word that isn't as garish-sounding. She wants it ASAP - in time for launch." However, a source close to Wintour said, "Anna just doesn't want people to refer to stories as blogs, because they're not. It's an improper use of the word." A rep said, "Anna has nothing against blogs." source: Page Six.com

I agree with Ms. Wintour regarding the word "Blog". My friends and I prefer to call ourselves Online Publishers.

Thanks to Michelle, our helpful intern, for bringing this New York Times article to our attention. Harvey Weinstein (boyfriend to Marchesa designer Georgina Chapman and one of the most powerful producers in Hollywood) has just purchased Halston, the legendary fashion brand that dressed the likes of Lauren Hutton and Bianca Jagger in Studio 54 heyday of the '70s. Touted as the best American designer in like, ever, Halston was responsible for many of the styles we still embrace today. Tamara Mellon, of Jimmy Choo fame, brought the deal to Weinstein and will provide creative direction (is there anything this chick doesn't do? I'd like her to help us brand Bag Snob, someone have her people call my people please) So how does this translate into your life and why should you care? Because Hollywood actresses will be jumping to be seen in Halston on the red carpet which means you'll be coveting it as well. I mean if your boss buys Prada wouldn't you be wearing it 24/7 too? And we heard from a very reliable source that LVMH has major stakes in Weinstein's company... hmmmmmmmmm

UPDATE:Rachel Zoe(Nicole and Lindsay former stylist) has just been tapped to join Tamara Mellon on the Halston board to lead creative direction. Another major hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Can't wait to see what they come up with, we are always in need of fodder for our site :)

(Introducing: Guest Blogger Bag Whore- Fashion Editor of one of the largest publications in the world who entertains herself by writing for Bag Snob anonymously!)

This is the Bag Whore and one of my first assignments was to report on the debut Chloe collection by Paulo Melim Andersson-who comes to us from the majorness of Marni. My report is simple: it sucked. It actually sucked ass. What a complete disappointment. I'm actually in pain saying this. I don't know what happened but obviously someone was overthinking or underthinking what the look should be. There's nothing highly covetable. It all looks like stuff you would find at Mandee's. I just can't see anyone fawning over this stuff. I can't even give it up to the Teen Vogue girls to be motivated...

Look at the beautiful clothes that floated down the runway at Louis Vuitton's Fall 2007 show in Paris this weekend. Does it look like the work of the man responsible for this revolting bag? Marc Jacobs truly perplexes me, I was a fan back in college when I purchased a Perry Ellis by Marc Jacobs jacket(it still sits in my closet today by the way) and I've followed him faithfully ever since but recent years had me doubting his sanity. This collection, however, restores my faith in MJ. And the bags, are my eyes seeing these photos properly? Are those bags really from LV? I can not remember the last time they showed bags that didn't induce convulsions from the Bag Snobs. Check Style.com for complete collection. And I'm serious, I may be in the market for a structured LV bag come fall.
