My thermometer barely reached 45 degrees here in NYC yesterday so needless to say, I am jealous that Lauren Conrad was spotted running errands in nothing but a sleeveless cotton dress in LA. I'm even more jealous that the tube starlet totes her Chanel Classic Flap Jumbo on such errands. In my world, Chanel is reserved for brunches with girlfriends and lunches with clients. Still, I'm glad to see the arm candy nonetheless. Her version seems to be the more rugged caviar leather (&rugged', of course, is relative), which retails for about $1,700, rather than the more scratch-prone lambskin, which runs about $1,800. Certainly a steep price, but one that is well spent considering the years and years of wear to be had from it. Call the Chanel boutiques for more information.

Make way, people! Diva coming through! With those giant black shades, glitzy gold jacket, and large Chanel black leather tote, Jessica Simpson looks every inch a Hollywood starlet. Jessica has had this tote for a while, but it still looks fresh and on trend – Chanel is always in style. And you just know that the Louis Vuitton case in the background is Jess's too – lucky duck.

Going once…going twice…SOLD! According to People.com, one generous bidder spent over $471,000 on this stunning croc Chanel purse (love those double straps!). Now, the bag is fabulous and all, and we all know that Chanel isn't cheap, but that's a lot of dough. Happily the money will go towards AIDS research, and the handbag will go in some lucky girl's closet (or display case). And since Madonna was kind enough to donate her auctioning services for the amFAR event, I'm totally going to turn a blind eye to that, um, iiiiinteresting dress.

Awwww, well isn't this a pretty picture? A beautiful girl (Blake Lively), a gorgeous boy (Penn Badgely), an artfully posed umbrella, and – ooh, lookie! – a fab Chanel 2.55. Seriously, Annie Liebovitz couldn't have orchestrated a better shot. It goes without saying the purse is perfection, and Blake and Penn are both dressed to the nines. Now, let's move on before I start to hate them.

Hi everyone, I just got this note from Chanel to pass along to our readers:
CHANEL is pleased to present Christy Turlington in the new Spring handbag campaign of the “East-West Bag& photographed by Karl Lagerfeld. The handbag comes in two styles with white metal. Available colors include white and black, black and white, burgundy and ivory, brown and ivory. It will be available in 2008 at CHANEL Boutiques nationwide.
Looks hot to me! I want to see more from this campaign.
Rachel Bilson cuddled up to a cute pup the other day, but sorry animal lovers &"#8211; I have to admit I'm a bit more invested in that gorgeous hunter green Chanel handbag she's carrying. The green doesn't really suit Rachel's blue print sundress (totally cute, by the way), but I love the color and the fact that it's more eye-catching than your usual black or cream. I'd definitely keep this around for fall.

Okay, so Kate Walsh is looking not so McDreamy in this photo, but isn't her textured black Chanel purse divine? The &"#8220;Private Practice&"" star gave the paps the evil eye, but she's got nothing but love for Chanel &"#8211; she also has one of the label's flap bags. Now if we could just work on that frayed denim skirt&"#8230;
