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

2009-11-05T09:06:00.002-05:00

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.

2009-09-24T15:43:00.006-04:00

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

2009-09-23T21:49:00.005-04:00

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

2009-09-22T18:01:00.002-04:00

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.

Montreal Guess Sale with Premium Retail Group

2009-08-27T20:37:00.014-04:00

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

2009-02-18T08:32:00.003-05:00

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.

Lancôme new viral marketing campaign - Count down

2008-08-27T05:41:00.002-04:00

I received two emails so far, day 5 and day 4 from Lancome, counting down to a beauty event.

If I judged it by the URL path, I'm willing to bet this campaign is to launch the new perfume, Magnifique.

The day 5 film revolves around Paris at Night.
The day 4 film focuses on a woman, particularly her hands, lips and legs, going somewhere and writing a letter. I seem to recognise the colours from the new Fall collection.

Lancôme unveils Autumn 2008 Color Collection - Maharani Jewels

2008-08-10T00:23:00.004-04:00

Autumn 2008 make up palettes are moving away from the mod, brights and overly natural dare I say, bland, look to a more smoldering effect. The eyes are given center stage in this collection with two color quads for the eyes, one called Lotus Splendor and the other Secrets of Benghal.

That thing about Marc Jacobs...

2007-04-13T22:36:00.000-04:00

Not to be a nay sayer.. but I've always thought of Marc Jacobs designs a bit off.. and a bit bland.. In a time of high gloss, high velocity colors, he manages to serve a little bit more drab to your day.

A few choice items...

Metallics is the new bling

2007-03-15T11:07:00.000-04:00

Metallic accesories and even clothes is the hottest thing this summer BUT don't over to it. If your dress is all metallic, then go for sober accesories. If your shoes are shiny, the bag can be too, but that's it. No more than one or two high shine items.

Here are a few things you could try.

Wide Belts for Spring

2007-02-23T09:28:00.000-05:00

I thought these wide belts had been around for a couple of seasons already. Apparently Neiman Marcus thinks is the next big thing. The wide belt is worn over a sweater that falls at least just above the derriere and is adjusted. It can be worn up high on the waist or on the hips, depending on your top.

Here are a couple of must have belts for spring 2007.

Two of the rings are from David Yurman, one from Stephen Dweck and the two white gold only pieces are from Ice.com.

Lavish Nails - The Colors of the Fall Season

2006-10-22T10:28:00.000-04:00

For the past year, nails were worn short, and discreet. This season, they are coming back with a BANG in dark burgundies, blues and even black. No French Manucures!

Stacked, baby!

2006-10-17T21:49:00.000-04:00

Looking around fashion mags, and the streets, it's official, the stacked and platform shoes are back. Which is great since I own a pair of black mary-janes with thick heel and platform base that would make you blush.

So go for stacked, shiny patent leather, suede or new buck in black or red and you have a sure winner.

Yves St-Laurent Redefines Chic

2006-10-14T10:15:00.000-04:00

Want to know what the boot of the season will be? I predict it will be the Modern Times Boot from YSL.

• Black leather.
• Tonal patent leather toe.
• Platform sole with gold trim.
• Covered heel.
• Made in Italy.

Look at the thick stilleto heel, combined with the gold trim. It brings together simplicity with a hint of elegance. Taking luxe to the next level.

Bravo YSL!

Alexander McQueen

2006-10-04T09:05:00.000-04:00

His style has always been infinitely provocative and forward thinking. Who knew the school girl outfit would look for sexy yet not sleazy on adult women? The ensemble featured here is the McQueen kilt and a black puffed sleeved turtle neck for the winter season...

But with all these skirts adorning the autumn fashions.. We have to think opaque tights and this year they are fun! You can go bold with reds, purples, or go for texture with lacey thick stockings. Have fun with your legs, and while you are at it, don't forget the all important boot.

2006-09-27T13:01:00.000-04:00

Last night I took a stroll at the Carrefour Laval mall and saw bland collections for the autumn/winter of 06/07. The same browns, greens, beiges, over and over again. I was particularly horrified at the Banana Republic store with a terrible flat grey wool dresses, designed for malformed women. Not impressed at all.

Guess has some exciting dresses from the Marciano collection. A few slinky blue and red pieces. Handbags with loud, heavy and shiny hardware... My kind of bag.

I continued along and the Bedo store had the masterpiece. A long flame red structured shirt with a large black belt, a black pencil skirt, red opaque tights and black platform maryjanes... Perfection!

Now that caught my eye.

This autumn should be red/black.
