New object of desire : Louis Vuitton Neverfull MM in Damier Canvas

Look at it ladies! The gorgeous chocolate brown leather, the understated yet classic canvas material. My darling Contessa friend has the LV Neverfull PM in the monogram canvas and she swears by it. Robust, elegant and truly, never ever full, it's a great addition to your wardrobe.

The bag comes with several D hooks so you can hang your Vuitton pochette to carry your wallet, another hook to carry your keys and coin purse. Amazing. This is going on my holiday wish list.

How to spot a fake Louis Vuitton - Avoid replicas and such nonesense.

I'm back on the prowl on Ebay for the diluded hope that I could score a gorgeous vintage REAL Vuitton from the Cerise collection. Why oh why did I just not buy the damned bag in Vegas 4 years ago??? I still regret that one... Alas, the knockoffs abound and it's luxury mayhem at the auction house.

Here are my tips to spot a fake Vuitton, even if you are just dealing with pictures:

  • Fakes will stitch over the LV monograph. The real deal never EVER cuts or sows over the letters.
  • The vachette leather looks too pink and the red pipping looks thicker. In the real deal, the red is mearly a dye on the edge of the cut leather to seal it but it is not textured.
  • The multicolor Murakami print does not have RED LV lettering.
  • The wallets are all made in SPAIN
  • Wallets do not have serial numbers. Hate to say it loves, but I have two authentic wallets from the Montreal store and none of them have any serial number nonsense happening
Darlings, don't do fake. Any Vuitton lover can spot them at a distance. Believe me, we know....

My New Louis Vuitton Love : Zippy Organizer Wallet in Black MultiColor Monogram

I'm so glad I bought this wallet last spring as it seems Louis Vuitton no longer stocks it. It's the best wallet ever. It holds everything, and it's fun. I've received so many compliments for it. I was debating between that and the Graffiti fluo but I think I'd have gotten sick of the hot pink.

Orlando Florida offers amazing outlet shopping for fashionistas

I'm back from Orlando and darlings, the shopping was phenomenal. It's home to both the very classy Chealsea Premium Outlets (Coach, Dior, Salvator Ferragamo, Dooney & Bourke, Tag Heuer, etc) and the Pr1me Outlets (Coach, Dooney & Bourke, Fossil, Clarkes, etc).

I discovered while staying at a resort that if you ask the concierge for his opinion on outlets, that he'll give you a coupon to get a free discount booklet. These booklets are GOLD for extra rebates.

GO THERE!

Montreal Guess Sale with Premium Retail Group
































I came, I saw, I was rather not impressed. Day 2 for the Premium Retail Group and already the selection of handbags is wittled down to large mint green or baby pink handbags. But for the brave souls that aren't afraid of the sweltering heat of the common dressroom with lady's arses hanging left, right and center, then you should give it a go.

  • Guess jeans are $35 for regular, $45 for premium, $60 for two.
  • Handbags range between $30 for the tiny wristlets to $100 for small carry-on luggage.
  • Shoes are $35 a pair or $99 for 3
  • Trousers, khakis and other assorted pants are $25
  • Skirts and shorts: $20

Heed the warning though, they arent only selling Guess & Marciano. They have Mexx, Peppercorn, Bench and more.

Why are companies still using Kate Moss as a model?? WTF

I don't know if we have a shortage of soulless doe-eyed anorexic models or what, but can someone PLEASE explain to me why I still see Kate Moss in fashion mags??? Has anyone seen her lately? She has a meth face only Amy Winehouse could find beautiful! She's so heavily photoshopped, any half as doped up 20 year old would do a better job as being a credible example of "beauty".

I love W magazine but I cannot, absolutely, cannot comprehend why she's not retired with the likes of Crawford, Schiffer and Seymour.

KATE! Take your bills, roll em up tight and go snort yourself into oblivion please. Let other money hungry models take the jobs and be a real example of youthful, doe-eyed beauty.
