Alexa Chung Stands Out with a Whimsical Chanel Milk Carton Bag

We've always loved Alexa Chung's quirky sense of fashion. This British It girl often includes quirky fashion pieces in her wardrobe and however weird they may look to others, she still pulls them off very tastefully.

At the Topshop Unique runway show for London Fashion Week, Alexa donned an adorable ensemble - a yellow turtleneck top paired with a Topshop leopard mini skirt and comfy metallic flats. While most of the ladies sitting in front row wore very serious dark-hued clothes, Alexa was such a refreshing sight with her brightly colored street-smart casual look. The mix of cute pieces made her easily standout in the crowd of snobbish black-wearing fashionistas.

To cap of her fun LFW ensemble, the socialite carried a Chanel "Milk Carton" purse from the brand's "Supermarket Collection", where whimsical pieces inspired by your typical grocery items were showcased. These limited edition purses are extremely expensive, with prices going up to $10,000! While we may never be able to afford (or actually pull off wearing) these quirky Chanel purses, we always enjoy seeing them being carried by celebs like Alexa, who seems like the perfect canvas for fun and whimsical fashion pieces.

Marc Jacobs’ Surplus Alligator Bag is $40,000, Too Much?

Having left the Louis Vuitton label to focus on his own brand, Marc Jacobs brought out all of his guns to create his Spring 2015 Collection, which was filled with military-inspired pieces with utilitarian details and edgy cuts. One of the more notable pieces from this collection is the Surplus Plus Bag done in luscious alligator skin leather.

The hobo shoulder bag is effortlessly elegant with its textured exotic leather and classic colors. This particular style will be sure to upgrade any outfit from drab to fab, but that's if you are willing to splurge on a five-figure handbag. With a price tag of $40,000, this Marc Jacobs alligator purse is surely one of the most expensive designer purses we have seen this year.

There's no question about Marc Jacobs' style prowess and ability to create wonderful pieces of clothes, handbags and shoes. To back it up, he even ensures a great runway show with each collection launch. However, this latest purse might be pushing too much. Not everyone can afford ludicrously priced purses, after all.

If you are willing to hand out your hard-earned moolah for this gorgeous bag, head over to Moda Operandi and shop their trunk show, which will be ending in a couple of days.

Heidi Klum Totes Her Studded Snakeskin Birkin Again!

If you had a whole lot of money like Heidi Klum, how many bags would you have? A hundred? We don't know the exact number of purses the supermodel mom has in her closet, but we're sure it’s a double digit.

We’ve featured her here many times before, and each write-up shows the blond bombshell sporting a different arm candy. But even with so many, there's one bag Ms. Klum likes carrying around over and over again. Can you guess what it is?

Yes, she’s hooked on her studded snakeskin Birkin. We spotted her with this bag in Germany back in May. She also used it a number of times last month. And, as if she couldn’t get enough of it, she used it to spice up a boyish three-piece suit yesterday (as seen above).

Do you like Heidi’s favorite bag? Or do you find the mix of snakeskin and studs a little too much?

Birkins are expensive, so if you need an alternative, you can try the following textured and studded option from Vieta instead. It’s not as structured, but it is made of snake-print (faux) leather material and features studs around the edges.

Alternately, if you have the patience to do some DIY (and mess with a bag), you can grab a gorgeous snake-print tote from Rachel Zoe and stick it with black or gunmetal hotfix pyramid studs.

That said, allow us to end this post with another question for you. Do you have a favorite bag that you keep going back to day in and day out like Heidi? If you do, care to share it with us?
