LVoe You Marc. G'nite!

OMG!!! This is so my look when I go to Miami!

I don't care if it's friggin' 95° down there! I have my Keepall, my Conspiration and my Grand Froid Scarf. All I need to do is to sell my cat so I could buy me a Tambour and I'm all set! LVoe it!!! (www.louisvuitton.com)

One word: Timeless

Nite, nite everybody!

Miami here we come!

Last week, Jerome and I decided that we were going to Miami to visit our dear lil' friend, Arjay. The PTO's have been filed and the tickets booked. Now all we need to decide is what new purchases shall we bring on our trip? Or shall we just save them for the Bal?! Suggestions my readers, please! Of course, my posting will not be complete without a pic of Miami's most illustrious resident! Photo: Zip Fall Winter 2003 Tweedy Collection

...and here's the three of us rushing to the boutique...

...minus the Chanel, of course (no offense) Photo: Lec8504

Blast From the Past: That's LoVe tote

Fine silk satin that was created by Marc Jacobs, who stated you can't spell the word LOVE without the letters "LV". This hand-stitched tote takes over 20 hours and 5,000 sequins to create. It came also with a canvas version and bugle beads as sported by Scarlett Johannson in their '07 Summer-Spring ads. The hefty price tag of $1860 made people shy away from the flimsy product. 'Shy' being used loosely because it is completely sold out in the US! I read that they are still available in 101 Champs-Élysées. A LoVe 2 version came out with Miroir lettering on canvas that suited the budget savvy LVoer. Those being only in $600-$800 range. LVoe it!!!

I LVoe, LVoe this video!!!

Tate & Greta

No pics yet but the Tate is a new Damier ebene piece and the Greta a new multicolore. Both are hobo styles akin with the newly released Manon (pic above), which by the way, I saw in real life today. It only comes in ebene and apparently the dune color is on its way out! A new color of the mini lin would be launched soon and is tentatively called plantain. Correction as of Aug 7th. It's not plantain but PLATINE. It's a beautiful shade of silver with black trim.

Big shout out to LVoers from Oakbrook, IL

I bet y'all are excited about the upcoming free standing store that is expected to open soon. A reader-friend of mine sent me this pic and a big thank you to her! I wonder, if they are going to have a special limited piece or "give-away" for the opening. Maybe I'll get an invite for the ribbon cutting... Photo: K

Weekend with Friends

The Christopher

I once read an article that backpacks are only for 12-year old boys and that the modern, urban man should be carrying a man bag such as a messenger or body sling. Seeing the Christopher with its "special order" counterparts is making me rethink this proposition. Check it out: The men who wear the Christopher This Photo: fashionphile Epi Leather (approx. $7K) Kanye West with his Damier Azur (approx. $6K)

Hinahanap-hanap kita Manila!!!

I know I featured pics of the globe window via Milan, Kobe and Taipei and I've seen them here in DC, but finding one from Manila brings that extra-special magic to Vuitton. Lifted from www.bryanboy.com.

Core Collection Bags: Speedy Damier

I've been featuring a lot of upcoming styles and limited edition pieces but have failed to put a spotlight on what is termed as the "core collection". I think that it's time for me to talk about them by starting with the iconic Speedy. I chose the Damier ebene to be the first because I don't have one. Classic in its own right, the Speedy Damier is not as rampant as its more popular Monogram cousin. Yet, the lack of the ever-so-sensitive vache makes it an ideal bag for one who does not want to worry about such things. Ample in space, it holds a ton, but is currently only available in sizes 25 & 30. Rumour has it that an upcoming 35 is on the works. The Damier Ebene Speedy, it's the perfect bag to start a collection with! To LVoe it, visit www.louisvuitton.com or eLUXURY.com

Trompe-l'œil revisited

With Fall just around the corner...ahem...(it'z 100 degress in DC and I need to justify my Sprouse scarf), I found this provocative pic of Miss Johannson from 2004. I've always LVoed this line but it seems that only the pochette was the big seller. I have yet to see the other pieces from the collection and would like to satisfy my tactile curiosity. The combination of mink and her glowing skin brings the photo to perfection! LVOE IT!!! Check out my previous posting from almost a year ago: Blast from the Past.

Monday again...sigh

Taken from the late Stephen Sprouse's design, this leopard stole is made out of silk and cashmere. With the success of its predecessor, I bet this will hit the streets donned by celebrities and LVoers alike. Visit www.louisvuitton.com.

Another friend drafted!!!

The limited edition Treillis is a must have for camouflage lovers. Apol was having a hard time locating one, only to be found by chance at my local boutique. After several charge send transactions later, the Monogramouflage arrived safely to its new drafted soldier! Fight for LVoe!!!

Dear Dressed

Thanks for the pic that you sent: If you guys have been following the comments in my blog, I received a post from a distressed LVoer who thought she was a victim of the switcheroo trick of unscrupulous SAs. Her concern was that the mini pleaty that she had just purchased from the boutique had a reversed positioning of the straps. This dilemma even reached the highest authority, i.e. LV Asia-Pacific. Upon seeing her pics, it seems that Vuitton has a 'negative' picture posted on their site since a couple of the photos from tPF pleatys have the same positioning as hers. So, my dear, I fear that your pleaty must join the ranks of other pleatys of the world. Enjoy it in good health! Photo: blew415 Photo: mikissima

The Milla

New for this season is another small pochette that is named after model, fashion designer, actress and musician Milla Jovovich. The previous ones were the Eva from Eva Herzigova and of course my beLVoed Kate after Kate Moss. Cute, huh? Comes in PM and MM. Photo: minismurf04

Telephonique Nouvelle

After a year and seven months of capturing photos and speed-dialing 1-866 from my lil' N80ie Nokia , I finally had to say goodbye to him when he woke up yesterday with a broken screen. I dunno what happened! It's like losing an old friend. So, I set off today to the nearest wireless kiosk with a heavy heart and got myself a new phone. The criteria was not fettered with the latest technology such as GSM networks, GHZ's and GB's, but it comprised of only two queries: a) Will it fit my Louis Vuitton cigarette case? and b) Does it have a slit to hang my Monogram charm?
