Louis Vuitton Damier Mosaique collection

Tuesday, October 26th, 2010

As most Louis Vuitton aficionados know, the year of 1988 is a very special year that saw the birth of the Louis Vuitton Damier Canvas. This pattern was designed by Georges and bears a logo that reads “marque L. Vuitton déposée”. Surprising contemporary, even today, the Louis Vuitton Damier Canvas pairs a lively geometric pattern with subdued hues. The result is a quiet Replica Purses elegance that has withstood the test of time for centuries. Its geometry and sobriety make it timeless. Since 1996, Louis Vuitton has launched a complete line of city and travel bags and small leather goods in Damier canvas. This canvas is perfect not only on feminine and sophisticated styles but also on unisex and casual ones. Revisiting Louis Vuitton Damier Canvas in a modern, urban spirit, it came up with the Damier Mosaique collection consisting of three pieces, a bold ring, a stylish bracelet and a distinctive pendant. They features palladium-finishing brass and are engraved with iconic chequerboard pattern and diagonal Louis Vuitton signature. The unique design reveals masculinity as well as youth of men. Stage manager accused of theft from ‘Lipstick Jungle’ Love or hate Lipstick Jungle, if you have seen the wardrobe of the three Manhattan friends you would want to stop in their closet and take some items. But my wanting to take some of their items would stop at wanting, because stealing their items and then trying to sell them on eBay would be a scandal. And this is the very scandal a stage manager on production facilities for NBC’s “Lipstick Jungle” is accused of. The stage manager, Arthur Moreira, has been charged with stealing almost $30,000 in designer fashion items from the show. Wonder what that would include. Surely fabulous handbags of Lipstick Jungle, like an Oscar de la Renta snakeskin handbag. Some items ended up on eBay and others were found in his apartment. And the reason he was caught is after French designer Sylvia Toledano found several items that the fashion house had lent to the show on eBay, according to the district attorney’s office.

Madonna and Louis Vuitton

Friday, October 22nd, 2010

When Madonna showed up at the Met’s Costume Institute gala earlier this year dressed like an elegant escapee from the Crazy Horse,Replica Purses complete with rabbit-ear headgear, little did we suspect we that we were getting a sneak preview of the fall Louis Vuitton campaign. In this exclusive video appearing next week on louisvuitton.com, Marc Jacobs takes us behind the scenes of that Steven Meisel shoot, starring Madonna and featuring cameo appearances by the hairstylist Guido, the makeup artist Pat McGrath (who sports her own set of mini-bunny ears) and the stylist Marie-Amelie Sauvé. “Clothes to me mean nothing,” Marc insists. “It’s the person in them that gives them the life and personality.” Bags, we presume, are another story. Louis Vuitton launched a series of red punches seeming to warm the cold seasons. Nostalgic atmosphere, black and white photos, and red color in the dark, everything exudes Marc’s idea for the bags. Givenchy Sacca Chain Handle Bag One of my favorite bags from a designer that is not as mainstream in the handbag world is Givenchy. I have yet to own a Givenchy bag, but I have lusted after the Givenchy Nightingale time and time again. And now there is a new bag to yearn for from the house of Givenchy. The Givenchy Sacca Chain Handle Bag exudes pure style and elegance. Designed with grained leather, this small sac bag features a gold chain handle and a single leather handle. The shape of the bag is timeless. It will easily transfer from season to season, leaving you with a chic shoulder bag. The inside features dual open compartments separated by a middle zipper compartment, a side zip pocket, and a smaller open pocket. While this bag is available in other colors, the ivory is a stunner!

Milk White Jimmy Choo Lara Shoulder Bag

Wednesday, October 20th, 2010

Usually, people tend to associate a functional bag with the timeless black color. But milk white bag can be as versatile as the black one. This is true with this milk white Jimmy Choo Lara Shoulder Bag. Made from a combination of neutral Designer Belts winter off-white tone and oversized gold tone hardware, this bag is undeniably stylish and also timeless. It is designed with huge lobster clasp on both sides to extend the style and as well as the space of this medium sized hand carry. It also has a long zip top closure, and a panel detailing to give more style. This bag can be carried with its two other large lobster clasp straps. The Jimmy Choo Lara Shoulder Bag is without a doubt, a bag that is so ideal for everyday use. With its expandable style, this will hold every essential you need for a day. And with its 50 percent off sale price at net-a-porter, from $2,250 to $1,125, I am sure that a lot of trendy ladies would surely love to have this bag. Prada Cervo Lux Shoulder Bag Sometimes, the little things count. A handbag, after all, is a utilitarian creation made beautiful because of its utter necessity – a bag that was difficult to carry would be useless to most women. As such, there are only so many design alteration that you can make to a bag, and I often think that making a beautiful bag with minimal design innovations is much more difficult than making a bag that’s art first and useful second. Which is why I love the Prada Cervo Lux Shoulder Bag – because, at it’s heart, it’s just a purse. It’s a tote that would hold everything you need with two straps long enough to toss it over your shoulder. Its magnetic closure is easy to fasten and unfasten, and its corners and strap attachments are reinforced for durability. It’s a bag that’s meant to be used instead of gazed upon. There’s a rivet here and a chain detail there (I love the straps), but it’s almost unnerving in it’s simplicity. Prada makes some gimmicky bags, for sure, but I think it’s probably bags like this one that earn them such devoted fans

Gucci Silver Necklace with Fin Pendant

Tuesday, October 19th, 2010

Gucci, the top brand in the fashion kingdom, is not only famous for its gorgeous handbags, but also for its creative and cute fine jewelry. I always love Gucci’s silver jewelry like necklaces, rings and bracelets. Unlike the pricy handbags, I can afford these little nice items, which can cheer me up in my blue. I am so glad that I came across Replica Purses this Gucci Silver Necklace with Silver Cord and Fin Pendant the other day. The silver cord is not like the conventional fine solver cord that is made up of exquisite tiny rings, but instead it is a composition of modest elliptical silver rings: some rings are smooth in surface while the rest are with screw grains. This cord brings one a felling of strength. Another shining detail of this necklace is the pendant. The two pendants are in the shape of fin, which will of course remind you of the cool ocean wind and the tension of life. What’s worth mention is that one of the fins is made of sterling silver and the other is made of precious ebony. This necklace is 60 cm long and priced at £470. You deserve it. Miu Miu Shine Colour Bowler Bag While getting my hair done yesterday (I’m now a brunette once again!), I found myself thumbing through a slightly out-of-date British Vogue, and I learned two things: First, that I like foreign Vogues more than I like American Vogue (please don’t smite me, Anna Wintour! But seriously, check out French and British Vogue. And maybe even Italian, Russian, and Indian), and second, multi-color handbags are supposed to be big for fall and winter. After careful contemplation while my hair color was processing, I’m just not sure this trend is for me. Take the Miu Miu Shine Colour Bowler Bag, for instance. I can see why people would really like it – it’s understated, beautifully finished, and for some reason reminds me of equestrian activities (maybe it’s the color combination?). But it’s just not doing it for me, and neither are most of the bags like it. Perhaps it’s because most of them contain some sort of brown (and my distaste for brown is well-documented), or maybe it’s because matching one color to an outfit is hard enough, but finding an outfit that matches two or more colors is probably too much work for me in the morning. Or maybe it’s something else – I’m not exactly sure. Whatever it might be, though, I’ll leave these bags for girls with a different sense of style

Which One Do You Like, Gucci Icon Bit Medium Boston Bag or Gucci Icon Bit Medium Tote?

Monday, October 18th, 2010

My dear Gucci aficionados, there is good news Replica Scarf for you. Recently Gucci has come up with its new fall and winter collection. These handbags convey a hint of beauty and elegance greater that we have known or imagined, so they make me dazzled. Nevertheless, based on our economic capability and its practicability, we cannot purchase all of them. To choose one is a real hang-up. So today I will do something different. I will make a comparison between two new Gucci handbags to help you find out a perfect Gucci handbag for coming fall and winter. Off-white guccissima leather is given an enthusiastic ovation since its birth. Today I would like to make a comparison between Icon Bit Medium Boston Bag and Icon Bit Medium Tote. They share a great many similarities. They feature elegant and soft off-white guccissiam leather with off-white leather trim. Besides, they share the characteristics of horsebit detail, D ring detail and ruthenium hardware. But the Icon Bit Medium Boston Bag comes with the metal chain giving it a more metallic look. Now let’s move to their function. The considerate design of inside zip, cell phone and PDA pockets is possessed by both of them. And the bottom feet provide extra protection for them. With a size of 15.4″L x 4.3″W x 9.4″H, Icon Bit Medium Boston Bag can carried across the arms or on the shoulder with double handles and adjustable and detachable shoulder strap while for Icon Bit Medium Tote, it is measured 14.2″L x 4.7″W x 12″H with only double handles. Prada Nappa Mordore Hobo I am a lover of metallics, but I am picky about which metallic colors I like. I am much more of a pewter lover than a silver lover and more of a copper lover than a gold lover. The deeper hues are sultry, sexy, and elegant in metallics. Just much more my style. And with the Prada Nappa Mordore Hobo it is as if Prada came to me, asked me what I thought, and then proceeded to carry out my wants and desires. Why thank you Prada for taking my likings into account. And even more of my likings are on this handbag. The overall design is nothing amazing, but the hobo stands out with the leather pieces which are stitched together to create a stripe pattern. But this bag does it for me. I don’t need all the extras on my bags, just a bag that does its job but still stands out and grabs attention. And you know what this bag does, it adds that slight shine and glimmer that makes for a perfect metallic bag. There is a snap closure and two inside pockets. Available in anthracite and copper; if I were buying this bag I would most likely opt for copper.

Coach Op Art Pet Carrier

Saturday, October 16th, 2010

I am especially like kitten and puppy. They are so lovely and adorable that I wish to bring them wherever I go. However, I can not lead them all the way by the collar and leash. My dear kitten and puppy need a comfortable walking home. Luckily, I found this Coach Op Art Pet Carrier. This carrier is as Replica Purses large as 15 (W) x 10 3/4 (H) x 8 1/4 (W), so it is spacious for the pet to sit down or sleep in it. Crafted in coated canvas with metallic patent leather trim, it is endurable and not-so-easily stainable. And the soft cloth lining inside makes a comfortable cozy home for the cute little thing that you love wholeheartedly. On the coated canvas is the most chic Op Art in black and white, a timeless style in the fashion circle. The carrier is designed to be carried with its double black leather handles trimmed with golden brass studs or shouldered by a single strap. It is safety ensured by a zip-around closure. It is also a functional house for the pet for a modest rectangular door and three little air-vents are cut for the pet. A brand tag comes along with this carrier. And if you are careful enough, you will find the word “Coach” among the optional art print. The brand is hiding among the art patent. This carrier is available at a price of $498.00, which is the usual price for a designer handbag, and here is the price for your pets’ moving house. I have to admit that it is the most considerate and stylish pet carrier I have ever seen, and I believe that behind the carrier is the designers’ love for pet. Marc Jacobs Ostrich Stam So this is love?! I am on handbag love overload. Yesterday I brought you a metallic Bronzo true love, the YSL Volcano Tote, which I literally dreamed about, and now I am bringing you the feminine exotic from Marc Jacobs. Marc Jacobs is a man of many wonders. His designs at times are misses, but with the Marc Jacobs Ostrich Stam he found his way into every woman’s heart, with the perfect combination of color, pale pink, and leather, ostrich. I don’t know about you but this bag rocks right to my core, sending me notions of girly wonders that remind me just why I love being a woman. The ability to pair a powerful suit with the perfect feminine accessory is something men must have bag-envy over! Amanda recently covered this rendition of the Stam, labeled the Marc Jacobs Sunburst Stam, and at the time I was not sold on it. It was nice, but it took the exotic skin and color to send me into the world of ohhing and ahhing. The silver tone link chain strap is detachable. I am just all kinds of sold on this. Sold on this and yesterdays YSL bag. My fall handbag list would be complete with these two bags.

Carlos Falchi Iridescent Python Clutch

Friday, October 15th, 2010

This Carlos Falchi Iridescent Python Clutch in blue exotic skin looks very appealing yet stunning. The combination of it plus the exotic skin is indeed trendy especially for this spring and summer.

The price is of course expected to be Replica Belts very expensive since most python bags come as such even if it is only a clutch. This retails for a hefty $1,130, though perhaps it could be enough since this clutch is undeniably luxurious. The turquoise shade is definitely striking and very apt for the season, but what makes this more alluring is the iridescent effect it gives. It definitely makes this exceptional, plus given that it is made from python skin, even if it comes very simple as just that, this clutch would still give a striking totality.

But then, to make it look even more extraordinary, this clutch is designed with a gold tone hardware and jewel detail on the side of the fold-over top. It gives this clutch more of a charming look, plus the soft pleated detailing on the front also adds to its totality. This clutch has a zipped pocket sitting on its fully lined interior, which adds extra storage to its 6 x 13 x 1 inches dimension.

Perhaps pairing this would probably a bit hard especially for evening occasions. Now if you’re not sure on what type of outfit you could pair this with, you know you could never go wrong with an LBD. Besides, it would surely create a lovely contrast to that, letting this Carlos Falchi Iridescent Clutch stand out.

Maison Martin Margiela Giant Pleated Clutch

By now, there is no doubt you know the love I have for most clutches. I don’t know about you, but one of the reasons I am such a fan revolves around the size of a typical clutch. Usually, they are big enough to hold all of the essentials while remaining hand holdable (literally). Then, today, I came across “over sized” clutches. I don’t know how I feel about this. I mean, should these handbags even be classified as clutches? The Maison Martin Margiela Giant Pleated Clutch is a perfect example. Granted, the image takes a little away from what the bag appears like alone, but take a second and look at how LARGE this clutch is!

Maybe it is just me, but I really can’t get over the size. Call me old fashioned, but I guess I really like the “typical” size of clutches; I’m not so sure I want to supersize my clutch. But let’s move on from my hangup and look at the quality of the Giant Pleated Clutch a bit. I do like the smooth pleated leather with the signature white stitching on one side. The clutch has a zip top with an 11.5″ long wrist strap pull tab. Clearly there is plenty of room to store pretty much anything you want and there is a cell phone pocket, leather-trimmed zip pocket and a leather strap with dangling key clasp. It is a gorgeous bag, but is it too big to tote around? What do you think? If you are ready to supersize your next clutch, maybe this is the one!

Chanel Black Leather Hard Case Bag

Thursday, October 14th, 2010

Its unique design makes it distinguish with the traditional Chanel Handbag. Judged from its appearance, Chanel Black Leather Hard Case Bag kind of resemble to a lunch Designer Replica handbags. But, if you want to keep all your belongings protected no matter where you take it, then this bag should do the job.

The bag is in a contoured leather hard case design that measures about 12 x 9 x 3½ inches. It has a hinged bottom with logo-stamped oversized enamel rivets at both sides, which also gives its branding. It is in a push-lock closure, where opening it would reveal a fabric lining with lace-up detail and three compartments just like in a file case. You may choose to carry it through its cut-out top handle, or just use the detachable metal link shoulder strap for a hands-free carry.

This not-so-elegant looking bag actually carries a hefty tag of $1,800 which is already 20 percent discounted than its original price of $2,250 at bluefly. This could be perfect for those ladies who are on the go and those who always bring with them important documents

Weekend Debate: One bag or many?

The handbag on my holy grail list is a 30 cm Hermes Crocodile Birkin. I don’t need it to be diamond encrusted, I don’t need 100 of these, just one would be amazing. And with a price tag getting in the realm of a brand new car, this bag will remain on my holy grail list as of now.

There are some that put all handbag money aside into a jar for one specific bag. Waiting for the money to build up so they can buy that one holy grail. And there are others that simply buy a few new bags every year, wanting more bags rather than one super pricey bag.

Felix Rey Lola Clutch

I’m having a clutch moment lately. I don’t really have anywhere to wear a clutch since my days of going out on the town 4 nights a week ended when my big-girl job began in May, but that doesn’t stop me from looking (and coveting). Besides, I’ve still got Fridays and Saturdays (and, ok, sometimes Thirsty Thursdays), right?

As with all handbags, my tastes lean towards the brightly colored; most of my cute little dresses are black or grey, so I depend on statement accessories (bright bags, chunky jewelry, look-at-me shoes) to pull together my look and add personal style. As a result, I have a ton of clutches. Red, patent, purple, blue, quilted, faux snake, chain male, embossed croc. Everything. What I’m missing, though, is pink. I had one that I used incessantly, but I left it on the floor one night, after which it met the same fate as my favorite Gucci sunglasses the next morning – I stepped on it and completely broke the closure.

So now I need a replacement, and I’m eyeing the Felix Rey Lola clutch in magenta satin. I prefer my pinks to have lots of purple undertones because that sort of pink looks amazing against almost everyone’s skin, and the Lola fits the bill perfectly. The satin material may skew a bit formal, but the cut of the clutch and oversized bow add enough of a quasi-casual flare that the bag shouldn’t be limited to only formal events. To top it all off, the leopard lining is a perfect nod to the many parties in the clutch’s future.

Pair this with a simple dress and some not-so-simple jewelry, and you’ve got my idea of the perfect night out ensemble.

Chloe Leaf Design Clutch

Tuesday, October 12th, 2010

If you are invited to an important evening party, the thing you may care is what better way to accessorize an evening look without looking loud and flashy than Designer Replica handbags meticulously detailed clutches.

If you agree with me, then you might also find this clutch from Chloe a perfect match for some fall outfit. It is made of a combination of suede and leather. The leaf detail at one side of the clutch is of leather material, while the flower cut-outs show a combination of both materials. It also has silver tone hardware at the top edges which adds to its elegance.

This Chloe Leaf Design Clutch is perfect for the fall season and will cost you a hefty price of $1,358. Not bad though, since its design is carefully detailed. It is also ideal to complement an all red sexy dress, or even black outfit for a little of strong but chic arrive.

Strategic Air: Private Air Charter

The resonating theme of the Strategic Airline Event Vlad and I attended in the beginning on June was “It is the only way to fly“. The ‘it’ being referred to is private air charter. And I am not going to sit here and pretend I have flown privately for eons, because I have not. In fact, I have never. But the perks of flying privately really are worth the price. In fact, if you are traveling with a larger group, flying privately can be as cost effective as flying via a commercial airliner, minus the long wait, early check in, and delays.

Vlad and I attended an event held by Strategic Air, who specializes in worldwide private air charter, on June 11th in a private hangar at the Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport. Hors d’oeuvres and cocktails were served as the guests mingled and boarded the aircraft and a luxury motor home that Strategic Air provides. The guests chatted and as we made our way around I realized that flying with the Deltas and US Airways is not comparable to flying privately. When you fly privately you are treated like royalty, especially by Strategic Air. From arriving to the airport to arriving at your destination the company pampers you as, offering car service, catering, hotels, and personal protection. I really would only need the catering, as the rest I can handle, but the company covers everything so that you do not have to.
