Louis Vuitton Spring Summer 2011 Fashion Show

I previously reviewed the fantastic new runway purses featured at the Louis Vuitton fashion show (Click here if you missed the post: Fab-YOU-lous: Louis Vuitton Spring 2011 Runway Purses). 

Although the purses were show-stopping, the amazing runway show full of gorgeous womenswear is nothing to ignore. Creative Director Marc Jacobs put together a fabulous show for Louis Vuitton Spring Summer 2011. The bright colors, fun prints, and exotic flair come together flawlessly to form this Louis Vuitton masterpiece. You can see the full show below: 





I hope you adored this show as much as I did! Here are some of my favorite looks:

Louis Vuitton Spring 2011 Runway Purses

WOW! That is all I have to see after seeing these fierce designs march down the runway for Louis Vuitton Spring 2011. These bags are beyond wild, colorful, and super fun!

Well done, creative director Marc Jacobs- you have succeeded in adding some youthful spunk into the very classic Louis Vuitton brand! Not that I don't adore the timeless prints of LV, but this collection is so exciting! It has charisma and charm that leaves me wanting more designs like this in the future from LV. 

Louis Vuitton uses a plethora of materials in these designs ranging from beads, glittering stones, metal, suede, the classic LV brown print, and patent leather. 

The designs are artful and bright, steering clear of the classic Louis Vuitton browns and neutrals. Instead, this season LV brought fun, clashing, color-blocked designs to the runway- I can't get enough of this collection, it is so different and unique! Feast your eyes on these fabulous purses, fashionistas- I know you will be just as obsessed!

Louis Vuitton Jewelry

By now, I am sure that you all have realized how much I adore Louis Vuitton: I have purses, luggage, shoes, a wallet, an agenda and more from LV, all of which I have written about on this blog. The one thing I do not yet have is any pieces from their jewelry collection- this is especially surprising considering how amazing I think their pieces are! I wanted to detail a few of my stand-out favorites from their current collection, all available on www.louisvuitton.com. 

One of my favorite pieces is the Farandole Bracelet in Rose, which is a chunky bangle bracelet made of resin. Inside of the resin lays LV logos and the signature LV monogram motif created in a 3D design of colored resin and brass pieces. Retail Price: $420

A stand out ring in their current collection is definitely the Flower Power Ring. This stunning ring features a round flower that is Swarovski Crystallized. The centerpiece of this ring is a Louis Vuitton engraved rounded nail button at the center, all held together with a trendy graphic link chain- This piece is a must have! Retail Price: $255

My overall favorite piece in their collection right now is this adorable Tutti Sweety Pendant- how fabulous is this!? This pendant is inspired by childhood candies, and it will satisfy any fashionista's sweet tooth! The pendant features golden brass, colored resin, clored lacquer, and Swarovski crystal elements. Obsessed!! Retail Price: $420

***The only way to 100% guarantee that your Louis Vuitton is authentic is to purchase it from a Louis Vuitton retail store, the official Louis Vuitton online retail store www.louisvuitton.com, or at a department store boutique (such as Saks, Neiman Marcus, etc). PLEASE do not participate in the counterfeit goods market!

Want It Wednesday!

I am beyond in love with this stunning bag- This Louis Vuitton Monogram Vernis Alma PM is so FABULOUS! The Alma comes in three sizes: BB, PM, MM (from smallest to largest).
This bag has been seen on a countless number of celebrities and socialites, and is one of Louis Vuitton's classic/signature bags, so it will NEVER go out of style!
I adore Louis Vuitton's Vernis leather (I have an agenda in LV's stunning bright Red Vernis- the official color name is Pomme D'Amour- it is seen in the photo above). This leather has a patent/shiny finish to it and has the LV logo stamped into it. At first, I worried about wear and aging on this bag: Would it crack or scratch easily? Thankfully, this has not been the case at all- even with my agenda, which gets daily use, the leather still remains flawless!
This leather gives off a shine like no other, making this bag even more incredibly elegant and timeless. I am 100% asking for this bag in either the PM or MM size for Christmas this year- I am leaning towards the PM in Amarante (deep black cherry/plum color- seen in pictures above and below this paragraph) or splurging for the MM in Pomme D'Amour (stunning bright red, which would match my agenda)... YES I can't wait to get this bag, I LOVE THE ALMA!
You can purchase an Alma bag at Louis Vuitton (in stores and online)
Retail prices: Alma BB $1,090; Alma PM $1,480; Alma MM $2,010

Want It Wednesday!

This week's "Want It" item is yet another fabulous piece from one of my all-time favorite brands, Louis Vuitton. This fierce Louis Vuitton Leopard Print Stole is sure to make heads turn. This leopard print design was created for Louis Vuitton by the renowned American artist Stephen Sprouse, and also features the signature Stephen Sprouse graffiti 'Louis Vuitton' signature in pink.

I am obsessed with the entire Stephen Sprouse collection for Louis Vuitton, and this scarf has been one of my favorite pieces ever since it was released. It is made of 70% cashmere are 30% silk, creating the most perfectly luxurious accessory suitable for all seasons.

This scarf is such a hot accessory, and is a staple in numerous celebrity closets- I mean who couldn't love leopard print and Louis Vuitton? And of course adding the amazing Stephen Sprouse into the mix can only equal a glamorous success.

You can purchase this Louis Vuitton leopard print stole only at Louis Vuitton Boutiques (and sometimes on their website)- this accessory is so hot that it usually isn't in stock!
Retail Price: $715

Trend Alert: Mother-of-Pearl Clutch

Hot off the Paris runway, this new and unique trend is dominating Resort 2011 looks! Mother-of-pearl clutches have been seen in the collections of Louis Vuitton, Lanvin, and Judith Leiber. This is truly the sign of a new trend emerging, which is oh so exciting for us handbag loving fashionistas!
From Louis Vuitton's Resort 2011 collection, this mother-of-pearl candy stripe clutch is to die for! The most appealing factor in this bag is the fresh and bright color scheme. These color combinations are fabulous- so fun and flirty, they just ooze springtime and resort.
Lanvin debuted their mother-of-pearl clutch in Paris as a part of their 2011 Resort collection (seen above). Although it is mother-of-pearl, it is completely different from the Louis Vuitton clutch- the chunky and thin stripes really add texture and interesting design to the clutch. I appreciate the neutral striped color combination, making it fresh and allowing it to match easily with many items. Most of all, I love the chain and hardware on this bag- it all fits perfectly together to create this mother-of-pearl masterpiece.
Judith Leiber's version (pictured above) is quite similar to LV's and Lanvin's versions, however I much prefer the others in comparison. This clutch seems as though it is a mixture of the other two- taking the color scheme from Lanvin and the candy-striped design from Louis Vuitton. The combination of these bland colors and the striped design leads to this clutch failing to excite.
Personally, I think that Louis Vuitton's mother-of-pearl candy striped bag definitely prevails in comparison to the others- the colors and design make it perfection in my book! What do you think- Which mother-of-pearl clutch is prettiest in your opinion? Let me know in a comment on this post!

Although price, release date, and purchasing info are yet to be announced for any of these clutches, I am sure that this new trend will remain extremely exclusive and will fly out of stock.

Perfect Weekender Bags

Every fashionista needs to have a good weekender bag available for those last minute trips. Especially in the summer, I find myself going away for just the weekend- so the questions rises, what bag should I bring with me on my trip? I have two favorite, go-to weekender duffel bags- one for fashionistas on a budget and one for fashionistas willing to splurge.

For fashionistas on a budget, the best weekender bag is the Vera Bradley Large Duffel. I used to use the Vera Bradley small duffel, which is also a great choice, but I was finding that I did not have enough space (the small duffel is more suited for one night away) so I needed to upgrade to something larger.
I just purchased my large duffel before I went away this fourth of July weekend, and I love it! I got the pattern "Totally Turq", which is pictured above on the large duffel. It has the perfect amount of space for a weekend away, it is made of light and durable material, and comes in a plethora of colors and shades. It is an affordable, yet fashionable option for weekend travel.
For fashionistas who can splurge a bit, I adore my Louis Vuitton Keepall 50 with shoulder strap. It is a timeless option when purchased in the classic Louis Vuitton Monogram Canvas print. The shoulder strap is a necessity (it is available without it) because the bag is a bit heavy. My favorite little detail/addition to this bag is the luggage tag I got hot stamp monogrammed in metallic gold with my initials. I love traveling with this bag- it makes me feel so fabulous, timeless, and classy. It is a must-have for all glamour girls willing to splurge!
Personally, I love both of these bags for different reasons. I've found that the Vera is perfect for bus rides, especially when you are traveling alone and can not be carrying something too heavy. It is also good when you think that you may get your bag dirty, wet, sandy, etc. Also, the fun colors and patterns are awesome for ladies wanting to express themselves- there is a style for everyone!
The Louie is quite the opposite- I would never take it on a trip where I thought I might get it dirty. It is also quite heavy due to its leather and hardware. I use this bag mostly when I am going on airplane rides (it is the largest size that you can take on the plane with you and store in the above compartments). Since it is heavy, I usually perch it on top of a rolling carry-on and wheel it around. However, it is a classic and durable bag that I know I will love and use for the rest of my life.

You can purchase the Vera Bradley large duffel at Vera Bradley stores and select Hallmark stores
Retail price: $80
You can purchase the Louis Vuitton Keepall 50 at Louis Vuitton stores (ONLY Louis Vuitton and select department store boutiques- like Saks- sell authentic Louis Vuitton; Please DO NOT participate in the counterfeit goods market, only purchase authentic goods that you can afford)
Retail Price: $1,225

LV Emilie Wallet

I am so excited to write this post about my new wallet! I have been lusting over this fabulous Louis Vuitton Emilie Wallet for so long, and I finally gave in and purchased it.

I really wanted to purchase it in the NYC 5th ave store so I could get the full experience, which is always fun and exciting. However, since I wanted to get my wallet personalized with my initials hot stampted inside (and I have previously had a bad experience getting this done in the store), I decided that just purchasing my wallet online would be the easiest option.

I was so surprised how quick Louis Vuitton processed and fulfilled my order- the night I placed my order, I received a shipping notice for my purchase, which was crazy fast since it had to be hot stamped. The free shipping delivery only took 3 days! Overall, I was very pleased with the online ordering system.

Now to the fun part- my wallet! I LOVE IT! It is red in the inside, but has the classic brown LV monogram on the exterior, which I think adds a fun, youthful, and current twist to the classic LV product. The interior zipper pocket, credit card slots, and money pockets are all great for optimal organization. I can't wait to enjoy this wallet for the many years to come!

Verdict= Love it! (4/5 stars)

You can purchase this Emilie Wallet at Louis Vuitton (in stores or online).
