The Medallion bag is another Chanel classic that makes a perfect everyday bag. Not only is it a great size, but it can be worn as a hand bag or shoulder bag!

The Medallion bag used to be a classic that Chanel offered every year. But, it was discontinued. Sometime in 2013, they disappeared completely from Chanel stores. Now, this beautiful bag is available only in the resale market.

It's not hard to see how this bag can easily become an everyday favorite. Btw, if you watched The Hills, you'd know that this was one of Lauren Conrad's favorite bags.

This tote, measuring approximately 12.5 x 10 x 6 inches with a 6.5 inch handle/shoulder drop, is a fashionable shoulder bag or hand bag.

Both the exterior and interior of this structured tote is made of leather.

Weighing about 1.5 lbs, the bag can easily support 4 lbs of contents. Unless, you like to lug around a TON of stuff, this bag will cover your everyday needs along with some extras.

This bag is loaded with full-sized flat slippers, a long wallet, large cell-phone, small notebook, Kindle, phone backup charger, tube of lotion, and other miscellaneous small items, and it's still got room for additional belongings!

Oh, and it's big enough to support an IPad too!

One thing to note about the medallion bag is that its straps have a tendency to flop to its sides over time and over use. This usually doesn't make the straps fragile or likely to tear off, it just means that it won't be rigidly upright when the tote is not being worn.

Vintage Chanel bags are a true testament to the designer's quality. They are timeless and continue to impress throughout the years. One of the most popular vintage Chanel bags is this maxi flap with large CC hardware.

Though this bag is no longer in Chanel stores, it's still coveted by Chanel fans and celebs alike. Trendsetters Victoria Beckham, Chrissy Teigen and Nicole Richie have all been spotted with this beautiful classic.

The size of this vintage bag is nearly identical to the current classic maxi flap and measures approximately 13.5 x 9 x 4 inches.

With its structured frame, it can support a lot. Up to 4 lbs of belongings can be carried without fear of bag sag or damage.

n this bag, I've loaded it up with a long wallet, small notebook, flat shoes, lotion, Kindle, large phone, battery backup and a few other smaller miscellaneous objects, and it still has room for more stuff.

For tech addicts, you'll be happy to know that a standard-size tablet easily fits.

Empty, this statement bag weighs about 2.5 lbs due to its quality materials. In my opinion, it really doesn't feel too heavy at all, but it is a substantial piece.

I've been coveting the Valentino rockstud City sandals for eons, but those shoes never seem to go on sale. But, the other week, I got a little surprise.

One of my very very good friends found a dupe of the Valentino City sandals in my size at a local DSW. She promptly got them for me! I am truly blessed.

The only unfortunate thing is that I haven't been able to find them, online or in-stores. They aren't as PERFECT as the Valentino City sandals, but these shoes also retailed less than $100, so they are truly amazing!

Shoes and bags really make a difference. Swap out the Chanel medallion handbag and the block-heeled studded sandals, and this outfit would be entirely different.

More convincing replicas are called super fakes in the authentication world. These horrible counterfeit bags often trick those who are not authenticators specializing in the brand. Here is a medium Chanel black caviar double flap bag superfake, Louis Vuitton V Neverfull MM bag superfake, and a Prada saffiano double zip tote superfake.

People are always curious about superfakes, because they are difficult to spot for most people. Thankfully, our authentication software makes noticing superfakes easy.

Whether it be the logos, manufacture info, hardware details, material details, etc, the following bags all have at LEAST a couple things wrong with them.

If you're one of those people looking to buy a super fake, please don't. Why would you get an inferior wannabee item? Aside from that, there are many reasons not to.

First, the cost of superfakes are NOT necessarily cheaper than getting a pre-owned authentic version! Yes! That's right! Super fakes, even though they are fake, are usually expensive.

Most superfakes are sold as resale items posing as the authentic version, because these scammers know that a lot of people can be duped. Why sell a fake for less than what they can get it for? But, even when they come directly from the counterfeit manufacturer, they're requesting at least hundreds of dollars for them.

And, it's illegal to sell a counterfeit. Financially, it makes so much more sense to buy an authentic pre-owned bag. The authentic bag will last longer, age better, and you can wear it confidently knowing that it's the real thing! If you ever tire of it, put it back into the resale market. SO. MUCH. MORE. SENSE.

There's also a lot of risk when trying to buy a superfake. Most fakes on atrocious sites promising "AAA" or "1 to 1" quality replicas are closer to "D" quality. Don't trust counterfeitors; they're in the business of scamming! DUH! You'll end up spending your hard-earned money for an obviously fake item.

Or even worse, you relinquish your money or financial information to someone who is willing to conduct illegal business. Notice how counterfeit sites don't use PayPal and many prefer wire transfers? YIKES!

And, if you're one of those people who loves AUTHENTIC designer items, you totally belong in Lollipuff's community. Authenticity is EVERYTHING here.

Here are 5 more Herve Leger dress reviews straight from the changing room. Find out which dresses are hidden gems and which fell short of expectations.

I adore Herve Leger a-line dresses. While this one was flattering and had the expected usual hold, this one felt a little big around the hip area. So, if you have average to large hips, this dress will better suit you than me. I'm a mix between an hourglass and an apple; I typically will wear a universal m for a bikini top and an xs for the bottoms. :/

This dress runs mostly true to size.

This dress is very flattering; it would look stunning on many body types. But, the cutouts throughout the dress make it a difficult dress to dress down. Plus, if you desire or require to wear a bra underneath, it's near impossible.

This very pretty dress is also true to size.

This blue jacquard dress is quite stretchy, because it is not the usual Herve Leger bandage material. I found this dress to have less hold than usual, but very very flattering from top to bottom. It would be a very easy dress to wear both on the weekend or to a dressy evening event.

While this dress runs true to size, its stretchy jacquard material let's you get away with sizing 1 size up or down.

The Liza dress is essentially the Carmen dress with a flared skirt.

I found the top hip area to run a little big. Again, if you have average to large hips, this dress will suit you more than me. Even though the hip area felt a bit loose, this dress is still mostly true to size.

This dress was love from neckline to hip, but it was weird around the crotch. It had above average hold, and the style of the dress was very elegant.

This final dress also ran true to size.

Want to see some of the newest Herve Leger dresses? I recently went to the Herve Leger boutique to check out some of the most recent additions.

This little Herve Leger dress was very flattering and flared out at just the right spots. The material is a thick jacquard fabric. Jacquard fabric has less hold than the traditional Herve Leger bandage material. It also looks slightly more casual than the rayon blend bandage fabric.

This dress runs mostly true to size. Jacquard material is very stretchy, so you can easily size 1 size up or down and still have a pleasing fit.

This blue dress is everything that you'd expect from a Herve Leger. It's got great hold, and is as seductive as it is classy.

This dress runs true to size.

The Danae dress is another Herve Leger in jacquard material. This means less body-contouring than most other Herve Leger dresses.

This dress ran big, so go down 1 size from your usual Herve Leger size.

I tried on quite a few jacquard dresses this time. Even though they don't shape you as much as the standard bandage material, the thick jacquard fabric is very flattering and very comfortable to wear.

I loved this simple sleeveless animal-print dress. It is so chic, and it would look incredibly amazing with a ton of different blazers, jackets and cardigans.

This dress runs true to size.

Of the 5 dresses, this scalloped a-line dress was my least favorite. Unlike the other dresses, the dimensions of this dress seemed off. The waist area seemed loose, while the bust area ran about one size small.

Spring is officially here, and I'm so excited for all the short dresses, skorts and shorts to come! Here's a springtime look with one of my favorite fashion pairings: plaid with leather.

Pair classic plaid with some black leather, and you're instantly a little more rocker chic! Nothing's better than fashion that's effortless.

Some of my favorite plaid and leather looks are: white top, jeans, black leather jacket with a classic plaid tied around the waist, OR a black top, black leather jacket, jeans, and a large plaid scarf!

At the end of each season, I'm always looking forward to the next. Spring means more skirts, skorts, and dresses. Here's my first skirt (or skort rather) outfit of the year.

If there's one bag that I cannot be without, it's this beauty: the classic Chanel double flap handbag. It just makes everything look better. And, I know that I've said this many times, but can you believe that this bag is almost the same age as I am???

Since it's just a little bit chilly, I've paired my mini skort outfit with some tights and a cardigan. Spring and Fall are the best fashion seasons. They call for extra accessories. And, it's just a little bit chilly to warrant cardigans and blazers that are as slimming as they are fashionable.

But, the main thing that I love about this outfit is SKORTS! My love for mini skorts has not waned since my early college days. They're so easy to wear. Here's a few that are very flattering: here, here, and here.

Hermes H buckle Constance belts are highly counterfeited. These gorgeous belts with an elegant H buckle make almost any outfit look more luxurious. Read this easy beginner's guide on how to weed out fakes from the authentic Hermes Constance belts.

Packaging

Just because a belt comes with packaging and/or a receipt, it doesn't make the item authentic. The picture above shows counterfeit packaging including a receipt, price tag, box, ribbon, and more.

If the packaging is fake, it almost always means that the accompanying item is also counterfeit. So, what are some obvious giveaways?

1. Authentic Hermes belts do NOT come with an orange authenticity card as seen in the above picture. This is some strange thing that some replicas come with.

2. An authentic Hermes belt box should not have any stamping inside of the box. Again, as seen in the above picture of fake packaging, there is a round stamp with some words on the inside of the orange box.

3. If the border on the front of the box is misaligned or crooked, the packaging is fake.

Color and Leather Type

Hermes Constance belts are always reversible. There will be 2 different types of leathers, one for each side. And most, but not all, Hermes Constance belts will also sport a different color on each side.

Some authentication guides online state that the colors must be different for each side, but this is wrong. There is a LOT of bad authentication tips online, so please be careful. We take authenticity extremely seriously; Lollipuff is focused on delivering great prices on AUTHENTIC designer items, so delivering accurate shopping tips is an absolute must.

The fake above shows a belt with the same leather type and color on both sides. This is a sign of a very obvious replica.

Leather Strap Stamps

Hermes Constance belts have at least 3 different stamps on one side of the leather strap, including the Hermes Paris made in stamp, a number that represents the size of the belt in centimeters, and a letter inside a circle or square that represents the year of manufacture.

1. If the belt is missing any of these 3 stamps and does not show any signs of severe rubbing, it's obviously a counterfeit.

2. Another tip in regards to the leather stamping is that all year stamps with a circle and all year stamps with a square with a A or B should have the Hermes Paris made in stamp in gold or silver. If the belt has a square shape with a letter C or higher, than the Hermes Paris made in stamp should be a clear imprint stamp.

3. The number denoting the size of the belt should always be in centimeters (60,65,70... etc). It should never show it in inches (23,25,27... etc).

These are just some basic and easy authentication tips that would be helpful for most people. Very proper authentication performed for Lollipuff listings is more intensive and specific.

Buckle Stamps and Hallmarks

Authentic Hermes Constance buckles will always have the word Hermes on one side of the H buckle between the legs. It is sometimes accompanied with a plating hallmark for gold-plating or palladium-plating. The Hermes word can have a downward-facing slash (Hermès) or it can be without a slash. Many newer Constance buckles also sport dashes (-) on either side of the Hermes word.

There are many variations of stamping that can appear on an authentic Constance H buckle, and a true Hermes authenticator should be knowledgeable of each and every variation.

However, there's still some really great easy authentication tips that weed out a bunch of fakes.

1. The Hermes stamp should not look like it is encapsulated in a box like the above counterfeit example.

2. If you see a 14K, 18K, etc hallmark for metal purity, run away. It's a fake. Unlike a lot of incorrect authentication guides online, Hermes Constance buckles are not gold, palladium, or platinum; they are most oftentimes PLATED in precious metals.

Backside of H buckle

The backside of the Constance H buckle is usually very matte. If it is shiny, it usually means that the buckle is a poor counterfeit.

There are many misconceptions about the H buckle, because a lot of misinformation has been passed on as fact online. Contrary to many false authentication guides, "Made in France" may or may NOT be on the back of an authentic H buckle. For older belts, Hermes used to never stamp this on the back of their H buckles.
