Enough of DayGlo, let's look at beads!
For all of you who are into everything Africanne, Vuitton has an array of jewelry for Spring Summer 2009. Just look at these beauties dying to be assembled into an outfit. 
Just be careful when you're walking with them...

Sofia Coppola Clutch
Spotted at the Stephen Sprouse VIP cocktail party, Yves Carcelles, chairman and chief executive of Louis Vuitton is flanked by the LVoely Brooke Shields with her Vernis Zippy used as an evening bag and Molly Sims with the soon to be released SC clutch. Hmmm...I wonder if I could re-tile my bathroom with Neon Graffiti?!

Graffiti Neverfull GM
I was about to jump the bandwagon yesterday and forget about my bag ban when I saw the Sprouse Roses. But, I was able to resist the urge especially when my SA talked me out of it. But seeing the lining of the Graffiti Neverfull has broken my resolve again. At $1260, I can't wait for this shabby chic satchel to hit the local boutiques. One thing I don't like though is that usually the Neverfulls are made in the USA. Hmmm...I guess I could make an exception this time since Sprouse was an American.

It's all about Stephen
Last night Louis Vuitton paid homage to the late American artist Stephen Sprouse. His legacy still lives on with his signature Graffiti and Roses that LV has appropriated to pay tribute to him. Cocktails at the Soho store kicked off the revelry followed by a preview of the Deitch Project installation, "Rock on Mars". The evening was capped off at the Bowery Ballroom where singer Debbie Harry performed wearing a vintage Sprouse jacket. Source: NY Times Photos: Louis Vuitton

Lunch Hour Dilemma
My friend and co-worker Aris and I decided to have lunch outside our boring cafeteria today. Problem was, we didn't know where was a good place to eat so a snapshot of me in my "Plan Scarf" gave us a reason to pause so we could get our bearings. We ended up at a nice cafe a few blocks over.

Soho Store being Spruced Up for Sprouse
I received the distressing call from my Store Manager today that there won't be any Graffiti this coming January 9. They already received their shipment and only the Sprouse Roses are coming out. Since I have a self imposed Bag Ban for 2009, I might just saunter over there to peruse the line for you all. The Graffiti though will be available to anyone who could dash to the Soho Boutique whose storefront is being redecorated for the release. Plastered in the entrance way is the iconic Louis Vuitton inscription. Don't forget to visit the Deitch Projects whose exhibit will also open on said date. Lucky New Yorkers!

Black Force Tambour in Black
I've never really paid attention to LV timepieces because I am a loyal fan of another brand. But a visit to vuitton.com's Japanese website, I was intriuged by their video called Black Force. It features the iconic Tambour in Black in its three incarnations: automatic, chronometer and of course, the diamond studded. Ooops, as I am writing this post, I realized that the UK website has the video too. LV is tooting it as "the watch for modern travellers" and it "marks time in an original and unexpected manner". Visit www.louisvuitton.com to see the video.

Louis Vuitton in Manila
I know the Holidays are over but I just recently saw these pics of LV Greenbelt in Makati City, Manila and I became homesick all of a sudden. I haven't been home for Christmas in almost 10 years! Pics were taken by freshmess. Maligayang Pasko po at Manigong Bagong Taon sa inyong lahat!!! 
First LVook: Wilshire Boulevard
Ushering the New Year with the new Vernis colours is this latest offering from the city bags collection called the Wilshire Boulevard. A small tote that fits one's essentials this $855 bag is a great starter bag if you desire something other than the classic monogram. My favorite colour for this is the Bleu Galactic.

Anonymous Comment for Easter Island Greeting Card
It's cool how you can see my reflection in the glossy card.
The Louis Vuitton New Year greetings card feature Easter Island MOAI statues. The statues represent the souls of the Rapa Nui people; they are a symbol of spiritual and cultural heritage in the world today. Louis Vuitton supports these values, which are close to its own tradition of transmitting heritage.
In 2009, Louis Vuitton will help establish a Foundation for the sustainable development of Easter Island and in Spring 2009, the Espace Louis Vuitton in Paris will hold an exhibition entitled "Silent Writings", inspired by the ancient writing of the Easter Island. In making this long-term commitment, Louis Vuitton hopes to raise awareness on the challenges that the Rapa Nui people face today and on the importance of protecting and transmitting heritage in the world.

From Toulouse with LVoe
I have been so busy with the Holidays that I completely forgot Jessica's picture of her Christmas presents. Here she is on Christmas night opening her gifts of LVoe. Congratulations on your scarf and Speedy, J. Thanks for sending it in! LVoe it & Bonne Année!
First LVook: 1904 Monogram Belt
January 1st was the realease of many items from LV. First off were the new Vernis colors. I got a chance today to visit my local boutique and saw them first hand. The palette is vibrant, sexy and a tad bit on the shocking side but all in all the collection is fabulous. After toying with the Orange Sunset Alma, I happened upon this new belt buckle called the 1904. Inspired by a trunk lock that was designed by Vuitton from that year, it is quite reminiscent of art nouveau. It also comes in natural black calf. Priced at $470 for the monogram and $565 for the calf, visit www.louisvuitton.com or save on tax at eLUXURY.com
