Louis Vuitton Passion–What Wrong with Louis Vuitton?

Thursday, August 19th, 2010

This Valentine’s Day Louis Vuitton’s jewellery collection “Passion” is really disappointing. Even though it seems romantic and luxurious to others, I consider it vulgar and dull. The four pieces collection, including a heart link bracelet, a necklace with gold-colored hearts strong on a rich red ribbon, clip earrings and a ring was mean to bearing the message of forever love, but it turned out to cause the opposite effect.

The collection prized more then $1200 in such downturn of economy, and it is nothing but a merely pile of heart shapes. More ironically, the collection is dubbed “PASSION”, a strong satire of the omnipresent instant love. As I see it, true love lies in the bottom of heart, and it shouldn’t be too barefaced. I am not cynical toward everything. I actually love the conventional Louis Vuitton design which is like implicative noble. It is ok if the younger Gucci used all those heart shaped items for it is its vigorous style. Yes, everything is changing fast nowadays, and it is especially true with fashion. But you still have to stick to your convention.10luoyuejun0819

Jessica Biel Style: Name that Bag!

Looks like Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel are still trying to keep their relationship going, even if the Hollywood spotlight continues to be the HUGE third wheel. The couple got together after a plethora of rumors of who Justin was with post Cameron, and now Timbiel has been spotted around the world together. On their way to an event at The Beverly Wilshire, Justin Timberlake dumped Jessica Biel off with an older and not as sexy inclined man. Ok, obviously this was just the man whose job is solely to lead celebs into events, but still, it photographs badly. My attention focused on Jessica’s style, which actually appeared very feminine for her sometimes overly muscular body, and her stunning brown handbag. Name that bag!

Eye-catching Gucci Evening Bag

Wednesday, August 18th, 2010

When an evening banquet comes, you prepare the beautiful dress and want to be the focus of the whole banquet. The other necessity is the eye-catching Gucci Evening Bag. The Gucci Evening Bag shows off a catena chain strap, a push-lock bamboo closure, and a jeweled bloom charm. Since I am a Florida girl at heart, the flower in the middle of the bag just suits me very well. If Gucci would elaborate a bit more on the materials, Louis Vuitton Handbags I could give you much more info, but we gotta work with what we have. This evening bag measures 5.9 x 4 inches. I see this bag being worn by the bold and daring ladies who aren’t afraid to spice up their wardrobe. It is with a price of $1895. Treat yourself with a cheap Replica Gucci Handbag.10luoyuejun0818

One of the newest editions, 52, which will be available in October, features designer Marc Jacobs posing nude. Not new to the nude front, Jacobs embraces this issue and even left his photos untouched. The price will be $375. While the price is steep, keep in mind this will be a limited edition and finished off with a Louis Vuitton gold monogrammed case.

Gucci Fringe Evening Bag

Tuesday, August 17th, 2010

I am falling in love with this bag from the very first moment of seeing this bag. I think it’s stunning. The Gucci Fringe Evening Bag is the definition of purse sophistication. The Hermes Handbags comes with chain straps, a push-lock closure, the circular Gucci charm on the outside, and an inside pocket (which must be very small by the look of things). The dimensions are 7.7 x 1 x 4.5 inches. Unfortunately for me, my wallet, and my man, I of course drew a liking to the most expensive version of this bag. Hey, what can I say- it’s a skill. The bag that features dark grey metal fringes and silver hardware will most likely make you cringe at the price tag: $5950 (all I can say is good thing they didn’t round up to $6000). Gasp! How I wish I could have this bag! Treat yourself with a cheap Replica Gucci Handbag.10luoyuejun0817

Acne Jeans Saint Lambskin Purse

Let’s face it, many of us dealt with acne at some point (if you did not I truly do not like you right now!). To name a company after such a nuisance seems like a bad omen, yet it is the complete opposite. Acne Jeans have paved quite a path for themselves, creating a loyal following. New on the block are handbags to the Acne Jeans line. Will they garner as much buzz as the already sought after jeans? The Acne Jeans Saint Lambskin Purse creates a slouchy Bohemian appeal with the soft lambskin and huge 17″ drop from the shoulder straps. Additional volume is added with the pinktucked gathers, which gives off a poof to the handbag. Worst case scenario you are trapped in the airport and this can act as your savior, a pillow. Dimensions are large throughout, 25″x 19.5″x 3″.

World Circumnavigation with Dior Saddle Bags – Africa

Monday, August 16th, 2010

To celebrate his 10th anniversary at the house of Dior, John Galliano re-designed 12 saddle bags, each representing a country where he traveled. One bag, one country. Now follow me to have a world circumnavigation.

As the homage to Egypt, Dior Egypt Saddle Bag comes in the shape of black satin embroidered with gold sequins and finished with a lapis lazuli-studded D. This bag embodies a lot of Prada Handbags elements of Ancient Egypt, a land of great wonder. Appreciate it placidly; you can see the Pyramids of Giza, the lighthouse of Alexandria, the Egyptian Sphinx, and the Egyptian Sun God etc. With Gold and Black ‘CD’ Logo and D ‘D’ charm, it looks like modern-day Cleopatre.

The Morocco Saddle Bag features white crepe. The pattern on the bag is originated from the classic Morocco geometric tile pattern. As we all know Moroccan tiles are historic tiles dated many centuries ago. They are rich of complex geometric patterns are regarding as the most recognizable visual expressions of Moroccan art. The blue geometric design matching with polished silver metal ‘CD’ charms and white handles creates a perfect saddle bag with Morocco style.10luoyuejun0816

Jessica Simpson with Her Gucci Horsebit Hobo

Sunday, August 15th, 2010

Jessica Simpson, as the epitome of the fashion icon, is the girl who is never seen wearing anything but the trendiest and best bags. Now she even is as privileged to be wearing a different Designer Replica handbags color every other day. I know I don’t have that luxury, although I would love to, but I’m not making commercials about Pizza Hut’s Buffalo Chicken Pizza either (yea, like that takes a lot of brains?!) Back to the Gucci. Mrs. Newlywed herself has been seen sporting the Gucci Horsebit Hobo in Pink and also tabacco colored lambskin and black lambskin.

The Large Horsebit Hobo is part of the Gucci Spring/Summer 2005 cruise line of handbags. On the website there is a variety of colors and fabric material offered, but the pink that Jessica has been sporting is no where to be found. The bag ranges from $980 to $25,000. Wait, wait… is that the right number of zeros? Umm yes. The Gucci Mahogany Crocodile Large Horsebit Hobo with light gold hardware can be yours for the price of a new car. The worst part is, there are actually real people who can afford that. Sigh. It is a large hobo style with horsebit detail strap and inside zip pocket. The large bag is about 18.8 x 4.8 x 15 inches, which is a pretty decent size, if you ask me. The black leather is about $1,290, which is still a hefty price to pay, but no where near $25,000. Treat yourself with a cheap Replica Gucci Handbag.10luoyuejun0815

News: From Hermes to Eternity

For those of you who have or those of you who want, there is a great article about the artisans behind Hermes in Vanity Fair. With the price tag of a Birkin starting around $7,000 now, many people may wonder why the large price tag. The artisans meticulously work on each Birkin, spending between 18 to 25 hours creating it. The Paris workrooms produce only five Birkins per week, which then are supplied world wide. It now makes sense why the wait lists are so long. Yet luxury prices continue to go through the roof. People seem to have no issue spending over $1000 on a handbag, which two years ago seemed steep. A $2500 bag is the new $1000 bag. When will it end?

It is really an extraordinary handbag. Nowadays people always want to keep their own personality, out of the common. And it looks best on smart looking casuals such as trousers and a collared top as it would pull off a really sophisticated and classy appeal. It can also match with jeans and a cute top for a more relaxed look with elegance.10luoyuejun0812

Chanel Green ‘5′ Canvas Medium Tote

Wednesday, August 11th, 2010

What’s your feeling about this Designer Replica handbags? It reminds me of sports, vigor, young and enthusiasm from the first sight. The Chanel Green ‘5′ Canvas Medium Tote is made of a white, green, beige, silver, and spring green canvas exterior with leather piping and quilted detailing. Doesn’t it just look like you would take it to the club house? Straying away from a very classic elegant look, this Chanel bag adds a little flame to the Chanel fire with its ‘5′ leather patch on circular exterior front pocket. The shoulder straps are intricately designed with silver toned chain straps that have canvas woven into them. The inside of the bag is lined in logo jacquard lining and has a zipper pocket. This tote is 11 ??” wide x 8” tall x 6” base depth and I sure wouldn’t mind taking it to the country club.10luoyuejun0811

Miu Miu Patent Fabric Clutch

Price should always be taken into account when buying a product. You may deem a product worthy or unworthy of its price tag when shopping. While some items are not 10 out of 10 on your list, the price appears so great that this 6 out of 10 product ends up going home with you. I am not head over heels for the Miu Miu Patent Fabric Clutch but the price is so amazing that I could see it making a great throw around clutch for the nights at the bar. Two of the major perks are the large size with a strap handle and the patent fabric matelasse which is easy to clean. I despise going to the bar and holding my bag or clutch on my lap the entire night, it gets annoying fast. This fabric is easy to wipe any spill off and the clutch is still cute. Most importantly, like I said, the price is great.

Chanel Raining Clutch

Monday, August 9th, 2010

The Chanel CC logo is always the most eye-catching part in a handbag. Take a close look at this one. It’s raining Chanel, Hallelejia! The dangling chain CC detailing gives this Chanel Designer Replica handbags a bit extra flavor for a night on the town. As seen from the Fall/Winter runway, Chanel is bringing dangling chain detailing back. If this encompasses the whole bag, it is too much, but just on the C’s on this Chanel Fall 2007 Clutch, the hang chain detailing really is subtly appealing. On nothing other than supple green leather, this clutch would be sure to catch some attention and make a bold statement. I totally dig it.10luoyuejun0809

Britney Spears Style: Hermes Croc Kelly

Say it ain’t so. The Queen of Worst Dressed, ah yes Britney Spears, was snapped carrying a absolutely drool worthy handbag. Even worse is that she carried this bag, knew she would be photographed with it, dressed horribly, and there is that poor bag, calling my name to save it. I can do this. I can have my people talk to Brit’s people and let them know her Hermes Crocodile Kelly would look much better on me. A Hermes bag is hard to get your hands on, let alone a Croc Kelly. Who knows what she will do with it? Stuff it with her tiny dog and Cheese Puffs? I sure hope not. Maybe having a manager now keeps her looking a tad better. Nevertheless, the Hermes lovers out there are disgruntled and beside themselves that Brit has this handbag.

To make matters worse, it seems that Brit got in a mini accident while her Croc Kelly was in tote. TMZ reports (and shows a video) hence her crouching tiger showing crotch shot below. She had to check the damages, and now we all feel damaged having seen her in this pose.

Katherine Heigl Style: Valentino Pinktucked Shopper

Known for her curvaceous body, sultry lips, role on a hit TV show, and sometimes ’stand-offish’ attitude, Katherine Heigl can make shabby look chic. The Grey’s Anatomy star was spotted shopping with fianc Josh Kelley in wide leg jeans, a comfy tank top, and a stunning red Valentino Pinktucked Shopper. The silver tone hardware accents the red pebbled leather formed into a pintucked body. Black patent leather trim, gold tone hardware, and top handles complete this bag that Katherine took a liking to.

Grande-Tod’s White D Bag

Friday, August 6th, 2010

Purse Blogistess Meaghan’s mom was treated with the Gucci Large Horsebit Hobo for Mother’s Day (yeap… hip bags run in the family), and while the hobo is absolutely swank and glamorous, I dare to say Mother’s Day should have been a good 2 weeks later. Tod’s just happened to Designer Replica handbags indulge the tote devotee crowd with their new Tod’s D Bag Grande. For 2k5, Tod’s reinvented the iconic D Bag in sturdy, yet supple leather with a fine contrast topstitching and finishes in detail par excellence. The sumptuous tote bares a luxurious leather interior and rolled handles that imply comfortable handling. The drawstring ties on the bag’s ends are finished with silver metal Tod’s pieces , while one tie bears a silver metal mini accessory that reads “D-BAG” on one side and “2005″ on the other. Clever! The 16″ x 13″ x 5.5″ tote goes for an even $1,200.10luoyuejun0806

Weekend Debate: 4 days enough for Nicole Richie?

This past week Nicole Richie was sentenced to four days in jail in a plea deal. This deal helped her avoid up to a year behind bars for her second DUI conviction. This sentence came after Richie drove the wrong-way on the freeway and was under the influence of narcotics. Also, Richie was fined $2,048 and ordered to attend drug and alcohol rehab.

Is this enough time for the crime committed? Did Richie get off easy? Was Paris treated more harsh than Richie?
