Hip the Luxury-Kanye West and Monogramouflage Keepall 55

Wednesday, September 29th, 2010

Who said designer bags is just for female and sissy boy? Kanye West took part in the LV men’s runway show in Paris with his Louis Vuitton Monogramouflage Keepall 55. Well he is one of those men who are not shy to show off their love for designer brands which then lead to the creation of his sneaker collaboration with Louis Vuitton.

He looks stylish in his self-designed red kicks for Louis Vuitton, complemented with the all the rage scarf fashion in red topped over a black suit with white inside tee and a rugged denim. The Takashi Murakami –collaborated Monogramouflage Keepall 55 doesn’t harmonize with his total look, although this guarantees to keep everything he needs to bring for a day and so.

The bag is sized at about 9.4 x 12.2 x 21.6 inches and is covered in Monogramouflage canvas with vachetta or natural cowhide leather trim. It also has the black jute canvas bands, surrounding the whole bag for a tough manly look. It also has the address tag with the words, “Monogramoflage, Limited Edition, Takashi Murakami, Louis Vuitton”.
I’m not sure if this bag is still available since it is indeed a Limited Edition bag, but the pricing goes about $2,000. If you are hesitant by the hefty price tags on authentic Louis Vuitton Handbag, a cheap Replica Louis Vuitton Handbag is a great alternative.10luoyuejun0929

Leftover Bags

If you have not already done so, you must get rid yourself of using paper and plastic bags at the grocery store. It is really not necessary, hurts the environment, and furthermore it is so entirely unfashionable right now. It is like a huge fashion faux pas now. So stop doing it and start reusing! I keep about six Whole Food’s canvas bags in the trunk of my car so that Vlad and I can use them each time we go grocery shopping. The only real concern is remembering to take the bag out of the trunk and into the store. Typically we forget until checkout and inevitably I shout to Vlad to make a run for the bags before the cashier finishes ringing up our food. Not only is this friendly to the environment, but it gives Vlad a mini-work out a few times a week.

For Earth day, if there is nothing else you can think of doing to help the environment, at least buy some canvas shoppers and put an end to using plastic bags. Leftover Bags are designed with organic-cotton and feature a graphic that can define your style. Choose from the time tote, flowerpower tote, thankyoulady tote, and the realfashion tote. The back of each tote features a logo graphic. There are double handles with a 9” strap drop, which is perfect for carrying over the shoulder. Dimensions are 16”H x 17”L x6”D.

Interview: Devi Kroell

Vlad and I had the pleasure of meeting Devi Kroell, the glamorous designer who is soft spoken and radiates when speaking of her designs. I have always been a fan of Devi’s slouchy hobos, that made her name known, and more recently her box clutches. Many first wore Devi Kroell’s python slouchy hobo, which at the time Devi was one of few designers implementing the use of exotic skins. In fact, Jessica Simpson made the bag quite popular and her sister Ashley became a fan also. Her purses are designed with all attention paid to detail. Devi’s focus is on the exotics, and while she has been known for her python use (including python boots who are worn by stars like Kate Moss), Devi has ventured into alligator skin. Vlad was obsessing over her orange Alligator Large Hobo which retails for $28,990. So with that being said, I shall start to re-obsess over her python bags, because her alligator bags are not in my budget right now. Devi Kroell has lived around the world taking in different cultures, languages, and experiences to make her handbag and accessory line what it is today.

MARNI Medium Balloon Bag with Kim Gordon Print

Monday, September 27th, 2010

Chloe Saskia Patchwork Pouchette

The Chloe Saskia bags were released in February and were supposed to be a huge hit for Chloe. But these bags have mixed reviews, and the feelings are extreme either way. Most either absolutely love it or absolutely hate it. I see the response being the same for the smaller version of this handbag, the Chloe Saskia Patchwork Pouchette. This pouchette is straight off the Chloe runway and features a mix of pastel hues, apricot and pink, with an edgy arrangement. The clever set up features a patchwork style with buckle detailing, a logo plaque, and a large handle to hold. I am ready to hear those that do not like it, but ever since I spotted it on the runway I have loved it! I am a jeans and tee shirt kind of girl, that believes in my accessories dressing up my outfits. There is nothing better than wearing a simple outfit and taking your look to a whole new level with accessories. For me, this is a stunning piece that is outside of the box but a great compilation.

Prada Multicolor Vibrant Trembled Blossoms Bag

Saturday, September 25th, 2010

After the great success of Prada Fairy Replica Handbags, Prada is trying to make it big with their multicolor vibrant bags. The Prada Trembled Blossoms Bag is an integral part of the campaign and are also creating quite the buzz. Coming in a variety of color options, such as fuschia-violet, cturquoise-violet, and yellow-black, Prada is expecting to hit big again with this line of handbags. If you were one of the very lucky few, you would have been invited to Prada’s ‘SoHo Epicenter’ store in New York to watch the ‘Prada Trembled Blossoms video‘ put together by artist James Luna and based on James Jean’s Nouveau-esque wallpaper seen in the ad campaign. The short film is whimsical and enthralling, capturing the viewer from the first second to watch the transition of a cyber-woman’s journey through a magical Prada filled forest. At the end, she meets Pan who shows her how a tropical fish can transform into the stunning Prada Trembled Blossoms Bag.10luoyuejun0925

Chanel Unlimited Collection for Mini-fashionistas

Tuesday, September 21st, 2010

The fashion house, Chanel, released a line of bags and accessories for last Christmas, the Chanel Unlimited Collection, designed by Karl Lagerfeld. Although this collection was born in cold winter, it is more suitable for the coming summer days.

The Chanel Unlimited Collection is ranged from clutch, hobo, mini and maxi bags to a large garment bag. They features glossy grey canvas material embossed with the words “Paris”, “Coco”, “Chanel” and “31, Rue Cambon”(the place where Coco lived ) all over the inside and outside bags, along with Chanel’s iconic double C logo. The shiny silver and the black fashion mantra illuminate each other. Beside delicate style, the invisible zip fastenings, inside pockets, leather reinforcements and snap hooks create more exquisite and practical Gucci handbags.

You may discover that this collection is different from the previous elegant and classical bags. It looks a bit hippie and tacky. So there is no doubt that this collection is geared towards the younger crowd, mini-fashionistas. With different styles and different sizes, even the nit-picker can find an ideal bag from this collection to meet her fashion needs.10luoyuejun0921

Jada Loveless Isabel Clutch

There was something so regal and eye-catching about this ruby clutch when I first spotted it on Lipstick Jungle. The handbags of Lipstick Jungle instantly turn me green with envy. While many of the designers are household names, many are also not as well known but have handbags that are absolutely stunning. One of the bags I was drawn to most was the Jada Loveless Isabel Clutch, which is designed with exotic alligator with a vermeil clasp encrusted with faceted amethyst and cabochon rubies. The clutch looked divine on screen but is even more amazing that I would have thought! The size is perfect to be hand held, 8″ W x 4″ H x 2″ D, and will look stunning on the red carpet or for a night on the town. The distinctive style is designed with attention to detail. Each bag is constructed by hand and features meticulous craftsmanship. Jada Loveless focuses on the details and has a passion and appreciation for the fashion industry. She graduated from Parsons School of Design and The University of Georgia and has worked as a Public Relations Executive for Neiman Marcus, in the offices of Celine/LVMH in New York, Drysdale Design Associates in Washington, D.C., and as a contributing fashion editor for The Atlantan. The price is $5400, which is steep, but you get what you pay for.

Timeless Louis Vuitton Suhali Le Confident

Monday, September 20th, 2010

The Louis Vuitton Suhali line is an elegant timeless bag with appreciated meticulously crafted leather. The sturdy and stunning Suhali goat leather offers divine structure. The Louis Vuitton Suhali Le Confident is a smaller handbag that packs a big punch. The contrast top stitching and golden brass hardware showcase the supple leather. Rivet detailing adds a special touch along with an exterior pocket with an S-lock closure. Not an everyday bag, but a very cute handbag if you are in the market for a small shoulder bag. Dimensions are 10.6″x 7″x 5.9″. The same LV bag is available on Top1handbag.net at a price of $219.10luoyuejun0920

Hermes Croc Birkin

The Hermes Birkin is the holy grail of Gucci handbags. While I feel lucky to own my Hermes Birkin in Blue Jean, it is evident that many are hugely ahead of me when it comes to collecting Hermes bags. As I dream of owning a croc Birkin someday, I find pleasure in drooling over others croc bags. Hermes does crocodile like no other designer, showing perfect attention to detail in every stitch and using the best exotics. A member of our forum, WhiteBirkin, has an astounding Hermes collection. Her two new editions have my heart. She picked up a 30cm Rouge Vif Nilo Birkin and 30cm Blue Jean Porosus Birkin. The Porosus crocodile comes from Australia while the Niloticus crocodile comes from Africa. These crocodiles meet Hermes standards and go on to make the most stunning bags. My only problem is deciding which of these bags I love more, I am stumped!

Winsome Louis Vuitton Monogram Beverly MM

Thursday, September 16th, 2010

I am not an aficionado for luxury, yet some still catch my eye and keep my attention. Every time I pop into the Louis Vuitton boutique, I am drawn to the Louis Vuitton Monogram Beverly MM. Replica Purses The slight ruching under the front flap and pleated sides adds sizzle. But it is the logo-engraved push-lock closure that really catches my attention. The golden brass hardware is the perfect accent on the LV monogram canvas. The natural cowhide trim paves the way to the focal point; the golden hardware closure. Easy to thrown on for a laid-back night out or dress it up, I love this. This handbag is nothing extraordinary, but if you love it like I do, you will see the beauty in it. The same LV Clutch is available on Top1handbag.net at a price of $189.10luoyuejun0916

Chloe Anoushka Bag

I think it is finally safe for any siblings of the Chloe Paddington. No one wants to live in the shadow, and that includes handbags within their own families. I love my Paddington, but I am ready to love again from the house of Chloe. A new and modern bag, the Chloe Anoushka Bag is different and stands out. Some may find it to look sloppy, but I find it artistic with a bit of a punk edge. The glossy leather is paired with silver hardware, while the focal point of the bag are the two separate zip fastenings secured together with an oversized ring on the front. It appears as if the bag criss-crosses across itself, which is such a definitively chic touch. One of my other favorite parts of the bag is the knotted shoulder strap. It is subtle yet catches the eye and draws you in. This bag is perfect for the big city gal who is always up with the styles and always pulling off casual chic effortlessly (like Rachel Bilson!).

Gucci “JOCKY” Medium Boston Bag

Tuesday, September 14th, 2010

I have always been looking forward to the new fashion collection of Gucci, especially its bags. So far, it can always come out with something unique and adorable. Without doubt, this season’s Gucci Handbags are marvelous as usual. We can know it from this Gucci “JOCKY” Medium Boston Bag. One can tell that this Boston Bag is a combination of tradition as well as innovation. This medium Boston bag features double handles, zip-top closure, inside zip and mobile phone pockets. As the name tells, it has certain associations with equitation, which is implied by the horse bit details and studs. The bags made from brown expensive python and khaki leather trim is sized at 43.5 x 14 x 24 cm, therefore it has a modest capacity to hold all your belongings when go out for riding. Besides, its noble and authentic identity can be told from the embossed Gucci script logo and shining brass hardware. The Gucci “JOCKY” Boston bag is available at a price of £2075. Find more cheap Replica Gucci Bags.10luoyuejun0914 Marc Jacobs Bag on Bag There was an earful of negative comments about the Marc Jacobs Color Block Pouchette bag. While some believed it was merely Marc paying an homage to Hermes and other commented that Hermes was not the first to design the lock, the majority did not care for the bag. I am a fan of Marc Jacobs but that does not mean that many of his bags are not my style. After the pouchette Marc needed to redeem himself. Unbeknown to him the next Marc Jacobs bags I cover are more horrendous than the first. These are not the only two, but there is an entire line of the Marc Jacobs Bag on Bags. These bags are supposed to give an artful feel, with a front pouch attached to the main bag. There is a version at eLuxury that shows off a red grained leather tote with a front pouch attached with sequin detail. Then there is a mesh tote version at eLuxury which sports a pink lace bag on the front. I would have easily been able to love this bag more if the pouch glued on front is removable, therefor making it a two-for-one deal, but the totes merely have a pouch stuck on the front. Why would you even care to use this pouch? Is there even a point really? And if it is just for looks, the look is nothing to my liking. I am a lover of art pieces but this is not even my kind of art. All I want to know is what was Marc Jacobs thinking? The only way I want to see this bag is on its way down the runway for a show, and then put away or on exhibit for good.

Chanel Choco, Chocolate, Rubik’s Cube or Cell Phone

Friday, September 10th, 2010

Let’s guess a riddle. An object looks like an overgrown Rubik’s Cube, or a piece of chocolate made from white, black or yellow gold surface. Can you guess it? Chanel Choco phone, the answer may be a little bit unexpected, right?With the widespread of cell phone, many people begin to pursuit the limited editions to show their uniqueness. The first-class design fashion phone would fully satisfy their requirements for its creative design and powerful functionality. Designed by Fred de Garilhe, It works by “integrating an optical fiber system that displays image between two glass parts. There are 12 micro lighter fibers that project image components to the glass, enabling thus quite a good luminosity, and keep the mobile phone concept as light as possible. But all the lights appear just when you open the phone by pushing removable part on the side of it.” When it is not in use, the glass parts are dark, just like a piece of delicious chocolate. Meanwhile, this phone reveals Chanel mimic mysterious aura and stands for Madame Coco superb design sense. Therefore, the phone is named Chanel Choco Phone.10luoyuejun0910 Valentino Patent Histoire Bag I, along with most of the handbag loving world, really fell in love with the Valentino Histoire Bag after seeing Angelina Jolie and Zahara carrying matching versions. In that photo alone I was ready to go find Valentino, beg him to make me a mini version of the bag, and then have a baby girl really quick. The problem was finding Valentino and convincing him (oh yea, and having the child). So instead I just kept looking of the mother-daughter pictures and falling in love. But the Histoire Bag has not always been my cup of tea. It has quite a bit going on and can be overwhelming. And the colors never really suited me. But then I saw the light amethist and rose options on the Valentino Patent Histoire Bag and I found a reason to fall in love with this Valentino bag. These are both perfect spring and summer colors! The bag by no means looks dainty, so it is a great mix of feminine colors on bold handbag. The topstitching is done in black and there is gold tone hardware. The braided leather details and two front flap pockets are integral parts of the Histoire and make it what it is. Typically these aspects were a tad overpowering, but with the purple and rose versions it tones it all down perfectly. I fell back in love with this bag and now I am determined to find Valentino and tell him I need mini versions of these colors. Let’s see how that goes.
