Citizen of Humanity & Louis Vuitton

Went shopping today and discovered the lovable new Citizen of Humanity Love Avedon denims which totally reminded me of the Louis Vuitton That’s Love tote – both share the “Love��? logo, which I absolutely adore. Just imagine how lovely your outfit would look… strolling down the streets in the new CH Love Denims while rocking the new LV That’s Love Tote.

Louis Vuitton Crocodile Marilyn Multicolore Purse

My opinion as an owner of the original first multicolore Marilyn bag, which debuted this summer, is that there are so many other multicolore LV bags to choose from and for that price you can get something much more functional.

My main problem with the bag is that the shoulder strap is not long enough. And it’s not just me either. Every time I wander into the Louis Vuitton (once a week) someone is trying on this bag then giving it back to the sales assistant for that same reason. I’ve overheard many people saying, “maybe it’s just my shirt.��? No. I am telling you it is not your shirt. The strap of this bag was designed too short so when you try to wear it as a shoulder bag it slides off. My lord, all Marc Jacobs had to do was add a couple links to each side of the bag and us Marilyn-owners or want-to-be-owners would be satisfied. It sure is pretty though. Especially in the made-over new purple crocodile trim Limited Edition Version. Just think you don’t have to worry about the leather changing color unevenly, it would stay this lovely deep shade of purple.

Thanks to ebay’er achimnelly, you now have a chance to get your hands on this forever ago sold-out evening purse from the famous Cherry Blossom Designer Handbag Collection, a product of the Louis Vuitton and Takashi Murakami collaboration. Loved it then and I still love it now.

Louis Vuitton Baxter PM Dog Carrier

For all of you small dog owners who love to carry your pet in style, there is now another dog carrier out by Louis Vuitton. The new Monogram Sac Baxter PM is the perfect little mobile ‘fashion house’ for your furry friend. Details from the brass hardware pieces to the adorable outer front flap pocket with buckle closure all create a perfect and stylish pet-presentation when taking your pup anywhere. Not only is this updated version even trendier for your pet, but it also has flat shoulder straps, providing more comfort for you than Vuitton’s earlier model, the Sac Chein.

The Baxter PM is a little more compact than LV’s other pet transporter, the Sac Chien, and measures 13.8��? x 10.4��? x 6.5��?. However, one of the panels on the side unzips, folds over and secures with a snap closure, allowing the room for your dog to be expanded. Featured inside is textile lining and a monogram canvas belt with a clasp. Besides the mentioned features, what I really like about this carrier is the open top because it’s great for quicker access to your love and also because it’s different from the common cage-like trait that is seen among carriers.

Louis Vuitton Epi leather Montaigne Clutch

Grenade and Cassis are the names of two new colors Louis Vuitton added to their Epi collection! One of the many accessories found in these lovely new shades include the Epi Leather Montaigne Clutch. This clutch has so many eye catching features starting with its nice exterior design. A combination of textured and smooth leather dress up the Montaigne clutch, while silver hardware compliments perfectly with any of the different shades of Epi leather. You can purchase the Montaigne in fun shades of grenade and cassis or in classic colors of black and ivory. I like how Louis Vuitton made this clutch so versatile. The removable and adjustable strap allows you to carry the Montaigne on the shoulder, as a wristlet, or as a simple strapless clutch! I also like the logo engraved push lock, I feel it gives character to the Montaigne, without this classy detail this clutch would seem so simple.

Louis Vuitton Metallic Mahina XS Purse

Metallics are so fun, especially when they are found on a handbag. A metallic bag never fails to spice up an outfit, they always seem to give off the perfect amount of twinkle. They can also be worn year round, day or night, and they seem to never go out of style. I spotted this lovely at my local mall today, the gorgeous, Metallic Mahina XS by Louis Vuittton. I bet many of you bagistas are familiar with the Mahina, right? It’s that LV line in which their accessories sport luscious calfskin leather perforating just the perfect amount of logos.

The house of Vuitton recently released the XS version of the Mahina, which happens to be my favorite size. Not only was the full-size released, but its line was also redone in pretty metallic leather. Antiqued hardware, an adjustable shoulder strap, pleats and buckles are many of the nice features found on this handbag. What do you bloggers think about the Metallic Mahina XS? Also, do you prefer the silver or bronze version? Overall, I love the bag, and if I had the 3K to drop on a handbag, the metallic Mahina would definitely be listed on my difficult choice-list.

Louis Vuitton Multicolore Kate Clutch Purse

Louis Vuitton’s multicolore monogram is perhaps the most recognizable signature print of all time. There is no mistaking those brightly colored LVs for anything. Its no wonder this print was the inspiration for Nadia Plesner’s most recent Simple Living Campaign (read about it here: In the Courtroom: Louis Vuitton).

I personally like the multicolore collection. Not because it is so highly recognizable, but because it is such a fun and original design. However, I always felt kind of sad that there wasn’t a clutch available in the multicolore print. Before there was only a Pochette Accessoires, a Pochette PM or GM, and a Wapity Case. But these looked more like makeup bags than clutches. Lucky for me, it looks like Louis Vuitton had been reading my mind.
