The Monogram Motard Minaudière

Photo: Janka

I wasn't impressed when I saw this in real life next to the Kate I bought a couple of weeks back. I think it's too pricey ($1470) for what you are getting. Now I realized though, seeing it in Miss Claudia's hand what a fantastic look this could be for those special nites. Comes in plum, ivory and black. Visit www.louisvuitton.com.

My Favorite SA's Suhali

The discontinued L'affriolant from the Suhali line, is truly a remarkable piece. She kept telling me the name of it but I was not too familiar with the collection. Her's though is a LVoely shade of blue and this is only a file photo. Kudos PK for having one.

What?! He didn't buy anything?!

First day out of Mon Monogram

I decided to take my Speedy Mon Monogram out today since it was a gorgeous morning. Jeff and I spent the better half of it cleaning our garden. I was so worried though, because this is the first time that I have had an LV that came straight from the factory. The vachetta is virgin white that I knew that extra precautions is imperative in its maiden voyage. Thankfully, nothing happened and it arrived safe and sound. I did get a little something on our way home...

Vernilover series

Since, I have been posting a lot of pics from vernilover, I decided to contact her and inquire if she would mind if I made a special category exclusively for her wonderful collection. She said she wouldn't and honored me with two photos of my favorite bag of hers--the ostrich frame Speedy. Thank you so much!

I hate sagging...

...so to give my Speedy a more structured look, I fashioned a simple cardboard box. What dy'all think?
