I guess it’s truly really official; Avril Lavigne is dating Brody Jenner. For a while, I didn’t want to believe that one. The two are like oil and water – Avril, a punk rocker girl; Brody, a model, and socialite; worlds apart.
Avril Lavigne and Brody Jenner started dating in early 2010 and inked each other’s names on their bodies shortly after they began dating
Apparently, the two have a lot more in common than I initially thought. And it looks like they’re really into each other too because both now have each other’s names tattooed on their bodies.

Based on inside sources, Avril had Brody’s name tattooed on her ribs while Brody had her name tattooed under his ear and on his forearm. Sigh… I guess that’s love.
Before Brody Jenner had “Avril” inked on his forearm, she reportedly wrote her name on him in pen first so the tattoo artist could trace it
The new couple attended Lindsay Lohan’s belated birthday party at Las Palmas nightclub and I couldn’t help but notice the studded and quilted bag Avril was toting.

It looks interesting. Well, the combination is quite interesting – quilting, studs, and tassels.
By pure luck (and I truly do thank the lucky stars today for helping me with this discovery), I was able to find the exact same bag while digging through Zappos‘ inventory for a look-alike.

And like any other Betsey Johnson purse, this one also comes with a funky patterned lining:

Actually, if you think about it, this bag fits Avril’s personality to a T. It’s a little girly with a lot of punk and rock ‘n’ roll. If you like the bag, it’s your lucky day because it is currently on sale for $206, almost 50% off its original retail price of $402.
While the black version has sold out, this bag from the same designer is a great alternative:

You can also go for the smaller satchel in ivory if you wish:
