Britney Spears Fashion Disaster: Name that Bag!
Just when we thought she was doing the slightest bit better, Britney Spears is at it again. At what you may ask, well at dressing herself in fashion disasters. There may have been a time in many of our lives where we wore tiny shorts and itsy-bitsy shirts that were popping open and thought we looked ok. Britney Spears does this too. Problem is that she is now 25, mother of two, and constantly in the spot light. Other major problem is that she *knows* she will be in the spotlight. Does she not check out a mirror? Does no one from her entourage try to subtly tell her, “hell no do not do that”? Guess not. If she would like, I will assist her in covering her body up and I will do it for free. Yes, I am that kind. At least she is sporting a new handbag. This bag I actually dig; it is funky with its brass stud detailing. While her fashion is a disaster, her bag is hip. So let’s stop making fun of her and just play Name that Bag!

Fendi Neon Buckle Wallet
Oh the 80’s. A time of neon colors, MC Hammer pants, leg warmers, big hair, Rubik’s Cubes, and fingerless gloves. Sure it is fun to dress up for a party (key words here are dress up and party) in neon, but to carry it on a day to day basis is a fashion don’t. I really want to meet with Fendi and ask what in the hell is going on with the latest designs. They are laughable to say the least. After the fug that was the Spy, there are now three neon metallic wallets. The Fendi Neon Buckle Wallet is available in the primary colors, red, yellow/orange, and blue, in Zucca print Designer Wallets metallic neon coated leather. Why was this done? Somebody help Fendi, ASAP. There is a club nearby that has 80’s night, and a wallet like this would be the perfect accessory for that one night, but other than that I can not imagine pulling this fugly thing out of my handbag. I would turn red with embarrassment and wish to melt away.
Slinky Style Makes its Mark in the Gucci Python Tote
Wow. If there were any concerns about this year’s Gucci handbag line falling off the radar, the Gucci Sukey Large Python Tote has reared its head and delivered a bite to get everyone’s attention. Equal parts fun and functional, this delightfully reptilian Gucci purse combines richly textured snakeskin with conservative brown leather trim to create a visually arresting combination.
Never owned a snakeskin purse before? Here’s the perfect Gucci handbags opportunity to break into cutting-edge style. Some purses and accessories try to do snakeskin but fall short, with the fabric appearing too shiny or artificial. Not so with the Python tote—the warm, rich python scales are artfully blended to create a wearable work of art, with a range of gorgeous earth tones and a decadent feel that begs to be touched.
In addition to the obvious chic style, I also love the Sukey’s overall structure. This is a Gucci purse that works as good as it looks. The oversized bag has just the right amount of “slouch” to it—although it’s sturdy enough to stand independently, it’s also flexible enough to take whatever you can throw into it, whether that’s makeup, wallets, planners, or a change of baby clothes. And the depth is perfect, allowing you to easily access items without spending valuable time digging. The double leather shoulder straps ensure carrying comfort, hitting at just the right length for those who prefer a bit of a high carry.
And the bells and whistles don’t hurt, either. The folks at Prada Handbags thought of everything when they designed the Python Tote: the hand-folded pleats, the upscale gold-plated hardware, the Gucci logo key chain, and the sumptuous brown leather trim all add to the undeniable appeal of this avant-garde bag. Rarely has chic been so practical.
Wonderfully simple, functional enough for everyday use, yet striking enough to stop strangers in their tracks, the Gucci Sukey Large Python Tote is everything a girl could want in snakeskin—and more. The only potential caveat? The price. Retailing at more than $3,000, the genuine Gucci purse is a definite budget-buster for most consumers—unless you choose to purchase a high-quality replica Gucci handbag.
At Top 1 Handbags, our Gucci replica purses are meticulously handcrafted using only the finest leathers, hardware, and other materials. Every last detail is painstakingly replicated, so no-one but you will ever know you’re not carrying the real thing. Even authentic Gucci vendors were unable to distinguish our replica Gucci purses from the genuine article.10luoyuejun0729
Louis Vuitton Gold Charms
I am a Louis Vuitton lover. And I am even a lover of Louis Vuitton accessories. Vlad loves their belts which are also pricey, but some of their charms are downright expensive. If I could afford it, would I then be able to justify it? The Louis Vuitton Gold Charms add elegance to the simplicity of a charm and add a hefty price tag with the 18k gold. I find the Two Heart Monogram Charm to be perfectly simple and perfectly cute. The LV logo charm would make any LV lover smile. Both charms are 18k gold, the hearts have one white and one yellow gold heart. Could you justify spending $975 for either?
The Sky’s the Limit: Louis Vuitton’s Custom Creations
Since its inception in the mid-1800s, the distinguished Louis Vuitton Company has manufactured hundreds of handbags, wallets, and sunglasses to market to the general public. But in addition to its stylish stock items, the renowned fashion house has also designed a wide array of custom Louis Vuitton handbags, trunks, and other unique items to meet the specific demands of its high-profile customers. In fact, the company has its very own special orders department located at the Louis Vuitton Designer Wallets headquarters in Paris, France.
Each year, approximately 600 lucky Louis Vuitton loyalists receive customized items created just for them. Below are some of the most outlandish requests Louis Vuitton has received and completed:
• For a Japanese Kabuki artist, the company once fashioned a standing makeup case with removable legs.
• Louis Vuitton created a custom travel trunk to meet the needs of a Saudi prince.
• For acclaimed designer Karl Lagerfeld, the designers at Louis Vuitton created two custom iPod cases.
• For high-end travel, clients have requested custom cases to house everything from backgammon sets to minibars.
• A Japanese customer once ordered a cushioned Louis Vuitton case to carry a cake into a special birthday party.
• In the late 19th century, an extra-long trunk was designed for an Italian explorer who was traveling on an expedition to Africa.
• For the maharaja of Baronda, Louis Vuitton once commissioned a custom tea case.
• In the 1920s, the iconic fashion house once created a custom driver bag that was designed to fit inside the center of a spare wheel.
Why go to such extremes to meet custom demands? According to Jade Hantouche, manager of special orders, it’s essential to cater to well-heeled Louis Vuitton customers as a means of perpetuating the brand’s elite reputation. Creating these “dream items” is also a great way to stir up new publicity for the long-standing fashion house, getting people talking and keeping the Louis Vuitton name in the headlines.
If a customer has enough money and clout, Louis Vuitton will create virtually any special-order item — as long as it remains true to the spirit of the company’s central product line. Every item manufactured by the luxury luggage house must serve some travel-related need: suitcases, garment bags, cosmetics bags, carry-on bags, jewelry cases, purses, wallets, and sunglasses all qualify. The company once had to turn down a request from a client who wanted a Louis Vuitton casket, as this did not meet the criteria of a travel item.
There’s virtually no limit to the custom travel pieces the fashion house can create. To put in a special order, simply stop into any Louis Vuitton store. You will be notified if your custom order is approved. Special orders can take up to six months to complete. Throughout the process, Louis Vuitton keeps custom clients apprised of their item’s status by sending frequent photographs. The items for each special-order customer are assigned a unique lock number. At the end of the construction process, the customer is given the option to come into the workshop to hammer the final nail into their creation.
Prices will vary for special orders, starting at around $2,900 and going up from there. With enough money, there’s virtually no limit to the level of luxury that can be yours. For example, if you’ve got around $21,000, you can order a luxury chest set crafted with inlaid wood, maple and ebony accents, and a genuine cowhide leather case.
It’s easy to see the appeal of owning a custom Louis Vuitton item. When the company manufactures a special request item, you’ll enjoy the prestige and distinction of carrying a truly one-of-a-kind Louis Vuitton handbag that was commissioned just for you.10luoyuejun0728

Finally, some eye candy is in stock. Not that I am opposed to all the sales, but I am Replica Sunglasses ready to drool over something new. The color magnificent Bottega Veneta Ombre Large Tote shades from a green to brown/grey in a stunning woven leather tote. The gunmetal hardware is the perfect edition to this bag along with the ring detail and adjustable straps. I will keep repeating myself, but if you have not felt a Bottega bag up close, do so. Go be that creepy handbag lady that touches, examines, feels, inspects, and falls in love with a bag. It is on display for you to do so and I guarantee you will not be the only creepy handbag lady there. I am a huge fan of the gunmetal hardware, it is the perfect color combination.

Megs scores two classic Chanel bags
Not two months ago, Megs came crying to me, complaining about the lack of a bigger handbag collection. According to her, Miss Purse Blog Herself should own more bags than almost every imaginable ‘it’ Gucci handbags there is (including: Chloe Paddington, Fendi Spy, Damier Speedy 30, the list goes on…), so she decided to follow up on deals that were posted in the forum’s Marketplaza – and voila – scored two gorgeous new Chanel bags in excellent condition.

Good day Ladies and Gents, it’s Vlad, PurseBlog’s resident Louis Vuitton whore. It is my responsibility as such to inform you about the availability of Louis’ newest Neverfull creations that just hit eLuxury’s exclusive LV boutique.

Ivanka Trump with Chanel Luxury Ligne Bowler
We should all be able to agree on three facts about THE Donald Trump. 1) He is a brilliant business man. 2) His hair is horrible. Let’s just get that out in the open. 3) His daughter is beautiful and stylish, Ivanka that is. I am fairly confident that we can all agree on the three facts above. Over the weekend, Ivanka and her friend were dressed to impress while shopping in NYC. Granted, Ivanka could use a tad extra fabric in the bust area, but her Louis Vuitton Replica Handbags outfit overall was stylishly chic and meticulously put together. Paired with her cream colored wrap around dress, Ivanka toted a red Chanel Luxury Ligne Bowler. Chanel accessories are fashion staples in their own right, designed to be simple and timeless. The Chanel Luxury Ligne Bowler adds sass to an outfit without looking seasonal-trendy, which of course is what any Chanel-clad lady is attempting to steer away from. While Donald may not know when to close his mouth or how to style his hair, he did a great job on his daughter.10luoyuejun0724

So an easy to open, large compartment, every day bag like the Anna Corinna Chain Bag is not only perfect for the gal on the go but perfect for my other laid back friends out there.

Michael Kors Leopard Print Satchel
Simply put, this handbag is cheap and heinous. You would Gucci handbags figure that any designer attempted to integrate leopard print into a handbag would do it carefully and with conviction, knowing that an animal print bag is truly hit or miss. Michael Kors got lazy with this bag, and put a few minutes into designing this sloppily done Michael Kors Leopard Print Satchel. I am aware that leopard print is leopard print, but I assure you that there is such thing as a tastefully done print. Even worse, this is satin with patent leather trim. Satin? Are you kidding me? A shiny material paired with a shiny leather makes for a bag that hurts my eyes. The handles are also patent leather, but awfully braided in a way that your eyes must look at it but really wish they never did. And even worse, there are braided patent ties that are threaded through metal grommets on the sides. It is like he could not just finish with the handles, he had to finish it up with a sure fire miss. Not a nice way to start your Monday, but I promise to bring something good to look at later today.

Trip to Louis Vuitton Bal Harbour: Our Loot!
Last week Vlad and I shopped like pros. On a gorgeous South Florida day, we headed to Bal Harbour to merely look and see what some of our favorite stores had on the shelves. First we hopped into Bottega Veneta to “look”, and well, we left with a few goodies. Just a few stores across the way was Louis Vuitton, which we knew we had to visit. I stopped Vlad on the short walk over and told him we were going to look and would then leave, it has been enough shopping, traveling, and spending lately. Apparently, Vlad is awful at listening to requests and I am awful following through. After stepping foot in LV, we were on a mission to find some goods. It all started with finding out favorite SA. She greeted us, we chatted, and then got down to business.
