Let’s face it, there are a lot of fakes out there. While making counterfeit goods is illegal, it is definitely profitable. Many women seek to save money on expensive items like luxury designer purses. Most, however, may not be too interested in having a counterfeit handbag. Buying fakes may contribute to sweatshops and illegal child labor in third world countries. Replicas could be a good way to go, if you’re interested in the look of a designer handbag and can’t or don’t wish to spend the money on the “real thing.” Replicas won’t try to copy the monogram of the original designer. Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, Prada, Gucci, Burberry and Kate Spade are the handbags that have the most counterfeits.

General guidelines to spot a fake handbag:

• Beware of the source. For example, purse parties, or those selling from the trunk of their cars are usually fake.
• Kiosks in shopping malls selling for a fraction of the original cost are most likely not selling genuine goods.
• Garment districts in big cities,flea markets and Chinatowns are also not a reliable place to shop.
• Look for shabby workmanship - material not lined up right, stitching that’s pulled in places.
• Made in China or Taiwan (dead giveaway). Better yet, check out where each designer purse should be from.
• Handbag’s lining is glued instead of being stitched.

Since Louis Vuitton may be the leading seller in counterfeit handbags, let’s look at some specifics to watch for when buying a Louis Vuitton handbag.

• Classic LV monogrammed bag will usually sell for $400 - $1000 dollar price range.
• Snaps are monogrammed on authentic bags.
• Handles are made of a whole strip of natural leather.
• Handles of light tan leather color will darken naturally after a few weeks - fakes are often painted.
• Handle stitching is yellow and will be even looking.
• Zipper is heavy and made of brass.
• The canvas will be neither too soft or stiff and not shiny or oily appearing.
• LV pattern will line up on both sides consistently.
• Id cards are not issued in yellow or green, like a lot of fakes come with.

Another word of advice, if you’re thinking of forking out a lot of money for a handbag you should do your research and shop at a reputable source.

7 Diet Secrets of the Stars

Celebrities are supposed to look fabulous. The whole the world is watching when they are acting in tv or movies or strutting down the red carpet during movie premiers and awards. They never cease to fascinate us with their larger than life presence. The truth is, it takes a lot of effort to look the way they do, and being the public figures that they are, they cannot afford to slack off when it comes to taking care of their physical appearances. Their livelihood largely depends on how they look. Aside from the clothes, the hair and the makeup, celebrities have to take good care of their bodies.

So it is no surprise that these stars have their own secrets when it comes to staying fit and gorgeous. Their health agenda can range from extreme workouts to well-planned meals. Who doesn’t want to know their secrets in staying absolutely sexy? Here are some of the diet secrets of seven women celebrities.

1. Jennifer Aniston
The star of the phenomenal television show Friends not only mesmerized audiences with her adorable comic sense and her famous hairstyle, she was also known for having one of the sexiest bodies in Hollywood, as she appeared in countless magazine covers. To stay trim, Jennifer follows the 40:30:30 diet method. The diet consists of:

40% Low glycemic carbohydrates
-Foods such as beans, fruits and vegetables, legumes

30% lean proteins
-Tofu, fish, chicken, turkey, beef and low fat dairy products

30% essential fats
-nuts and seeds, fish and olive oils

It is essential that every meal should contain macronutrients to attain the balance of hormones and maximum weight loss.

2. Kate Hudson
The gorgeous daughter of actress Goldie Hawn gained 60 pounds during her pregnancy, which she needed to shed quickly before commencing on her next film. From her previous eating plan, she switched to a higher protein diet. She consumed high protein meals in smaller portions, and she combined this diet with an exercise program that includes weight training and cardiovascular workouts. After getting a lot of flak because of her post-pregnancy figure, Kate removed all that baby weight in only four months and has gained abdominal muscles that gained the envy of many in Hollywood.

3. Oprah Winfrey
As one of the most successful talk-show hosts in the world, there is no question that Oprah needs to maintain her physical appearance for her millions of audiences. Known as one of those celebrities who are constantly battling weight gain, she has recently toned up her figure and has never looked figure at age 50 by combining a regular exercise regime and diet plan. Oprah works out five days a week, spending 30 minutes on the treadmill and doing free weights. Her eating plan consists of legumes, fish, nuts, fruits and vegetables, chicken and dairy products that are low-fat. She limits her consumption of white sugar and flour. Oprah also credits her trim figure to her habit of not eating anything after seven in the evening.

4. Gwyneth Paltrow
A lot of people may find it hard to believe that the perpetually slim Academy award-winning actress actually needs to diet. Gwyneth actually follows a healthy eating plan that resembles Oprah’s, avoiding sugar and white flour. She usually follows a macrobiotic diet, eating foods like vegetables, brown rice, and lean meat. She also eliminated dairy from her diet, and does yoga everyday.

5. Madonna
The pop star known as the Material Girl has always flaunted a body that is to die for, and has become a true fitness paragon over the years. She keeps herself in tip-top shape by having Ashtanga Yoga, and follows a strict diet that mostly shuns junk foods. She adopted a macrobiotic eating plan that includes organic foods rich in lean protein.

6. Claudia Schiffer
The bodacious German supermodel eats salad and steamed vegetables for dinner and eats only fruits before the afternoon. While on locations, she prefers to eat black grapes and drinks tomato juice and herbal tea.

7. Christie Brinkley
Long-time supermodel maintains her all-American good looks by being a vegetarian. She does not keep junk foods of any kind inside her home to make sure that she does not eat them when cravings occur. She snacks on sweet potatoes in place of candy bars, and she adopts a liquid juice diet when she needs to slim down fast.

Celebrities are just like ordinary people. They need to maintain their figures just like anyone else, and there is more pressure on their part since they are constantly in the public eye. Ordinary folks can have celebrity-like bodies, too, and by following these diet and fitness plans, they can also look like red-carpet worthy.

Prada and Gucci are two Italian designers known for luxury and style.

Mario Prado started the Prada label in 1913. He sold shoes, handbags and trunks. His first suitcases were made of heavy walrus skin but proved too heavy for airplane travel. Later bags were made of leather.

Gucci founded the House of Gucci in 1906. It began as a saddlery shop in Florence, Italy. Gucci first used his talent on crafting leather goods and progressed to luxury luggage.

Both companies have expanded to carry clothing, fragrance, handbags, and all kinds of accessories.
