From Geo with LVoe

Geo sends me the most fabulous pics from his collection. I am currently on vacay right now but I couldn't help myself so I had to post his new "gear" as he calls it. Up first is this fabulous Epi Sorbonne from the late 90's. I have never seen this in real life and from the LVooks of it, the structured bag is both classy and chic at the same time. He also sent me pics of his newly acquired Petit Damier and Ski Scarf draped wonderfully over his hardcases. Thanks for sending the photos in, G. LVoe it!!!

Post Thanksgiving LVook See & Chester See

After the Holiday Festivities, Arjay and I decided to meet up to scour the Black Friday leftover sales. Of course, stopping at LV resulted in us being shown the new Epi Electrique, a patent version of an old classic. We saw the Neo Pont-Neuf, Iena and Alma. I'm still on the fence about this latest addition to the core collection. It kinda feels too platicy for me. That wasn't the highlight of our excursion though because barely had we stepped out of the boutique when we saw Disney 365 Host, Chester See. I know that he is a tween idol but I didn't care, I needed a pic with him!!! Besides he's half-Filipino!

Ruben Toledo decorates the LV 5th Avenue Store

Inspired by the city stamp artwork of Cuban artist Ruben Toledo that are on the covers of the Louis Vuitton City Guides, the Maison is decked to the nines for the Holidays. "We are thrilled to have renowned artist Ruben Toledo working with us again," says Daniel Lalonde, President and CEO of Louis Vuitton North America. "Toledo's sketches and illustrations have been an integral part of our city guides for years and we are delighted that his artwork is the center of our Fifth Avenue Maison display for this holiday season." I hope to see it for myself this year when I visit the city for the season. Check out the full article by Lesley Scott by clicking here.

Blogging about Holidays: The Louis Vuitton 5th Avenue Maison in New York

Starting tomorrow November 23rd, Louis Vuitton New York asks us: “Where will your journey take you?” Our answers will then be collected and posted on the flapboards of the Holiday window display of the 5th Avenue store. "Home for the Holidays" is the theme which features these boards that are reminiscent of those found in train stations around the world. Departure and arrival cities, seasonal activities, inspired quotes regarding the marvel of travel, and personal sentiments will be featured on each flapboard throughout the duration of the season. If you wish to see your submission displayed at the store in 140 characters visit www.departures.vuitton.com. Photos from anothernormal.com

Louis Vuitton Christmas Box

I started decorating today for the Holidays because Jeff and I are hosting Thanksgiving this year for the very first time. I was so happy when I received this e-mail containing a pic of the amazing Louis Vuitton Christmas Chest. Crafted out of materials that are used in a regular trunk, it is made extra special because it contains an array of hand blown ornaments. No doubt they would become family keepsakes to those who would own such a treasure since there are only five of them that were made by the LV Asnieres workshop. I wonder if the workshops in the North Pole would be able to make me one for me. Hmmm...I guess that's not a good idea since LV might sue Santa. Oh well. Let the Holidays begin! Merry Christmas!!! LVoe it!!!

LVook See

I haven't been to LV in a while so I was excited to go visit today. The moment Angel and I walked in, I immediately spotted the Monogram Bulles. Made out of textile, the color combination with oxidized vache leather was quite appealing. Next, I was handed the Monogram Stresa which I fell in LVoe with the GM size. It's a perfect everyday bag except for the cumbersome leather flap at the opening. The canvas that was used is not as thick as I wanted it to be but I guess that makes it more comfortable as you hug it close to your body. We were also shown the Multicolore Courtney which has all the studs that made the bag super pricey. The Clutch alone was already $2430 and it was quite heavy. Lastly, January 1st is the release of the new Monogram Vernis Colors: Rose Florentin, Vert Impression and Gris Art Deco. The pic was too small for me to appreciate how the subdued colors would LVook in real life. All in all, it was a perfect day at Vuitton with Angel walking away with a little something. I'll have to post a pic of it the next time I see her.

Congratulations Irina!!!

Irina Shabayeva, winner of this season's Project Runway. I was rooting for her because she carried what LVooked to me to be a Hampstead in Damier Ebene.

Shop and Share

After posting the Louis Vuitton Catalogue, I received an e-mail from one of the administrators of Shop and Share, a website dedicated to helping the victims brought about by the recent typhoons "Ondoy" and "Pepeng" that hit the Philippine Islands. Spearheaded by a handful of Philippine Celebrities auctioning off items from their closets, I would like to feature the Louis Vuitton items here. Owned by Pokwang, Philippine singer, tv host and comedian actress, these Magnolia sandals are a size 6. Owned by John Lloyd Cruz, matinee idol and heartthrob, the site lists it as a Bastille but actually it is a Damier Olav PM. Discontinued Epi bags owned by tv and film actress, Angel Locsin, the Blanc is the Turenne PM (thanks for the info, Anonymous) while the Jaune is the Saint-Jacques.
