Daniel Buren for Louis Vuitton Windows 2013

For Louis Vuitton's Spring Summer 2013 show, creative director Marc Jacobs was inspired by the work of Daniel Buren, the artist behind the black and white striped columns in the Palais Royal gardens in Paris. The collaboration continues, with this season's upcoming windows for LV boutiques worldwide. Mesmerizing optical illusions play with stripes in yellow, white, brown, green, red, grey and of course, the collection's characteristic checks. The first windows were revealed on February 4 at 5th Avenue in New York City and Avenue Montaigne in Paris, and beginning in March, will be on display for other stores. 
Thanks, Hydie. 
LVoe it!!!

Price Increase for the U.S. on February 18

I did a small pop-in at my local boutique yesterday and came out with the disconcerting news that there would be a price increase on the 18th.  At least it's not going to affect Valentine's Day, but I still haven't decided on the Metis. Finalize your wishlists Ladies and Gents.
