First of all, I apologize for the lack of updates in the past few days. Secondly, remember that NARS lip gloss in Dolce Vita that I got free from the last NARS haul? Well, it has quickly become my favorite gloss! I am running to buy a full size very soon. I get overly excited when I find a new favorite. I think this one is a keeper, guys. It is super pigmented so I can just throw it over my lips throughout the day without worrying about lipstick. Though I'll show swatches of it over different lipsticks once I purchase the full lip gloss. (Pairing Dolce Vita with OPI Germanium polish today.)
Now, onto the little LV discussion:
In case you are wondering, the true reason I have been looking at Louis Vuittons is because they have this picture of Zinedine Zidane plastered all over their website.
I have never been that into Louis Vuittons because I don't like their emphasis on their logo and quite frankly, I find the price tag to be ridiculous. I also think that at this point, it is a little unoriginal to own one of those monogram bags. One look and someone will be able to tell how much your bag is and conjure up in her mind the list of people she knows with that same bag. For designer wearers, a monogram LV says, I have one too. For those not into designer-wears, the bag says, you know I am an LV so look at me. I have always felt that wearing an LV, I would be judged prematurely.
Now, there are the bags without the monogram, but I think they can get a little boring. If you are going to purchase an LV, why not make it worth the money? This new Louis Vuitton Antheia Hobo may just solve all the problems. It is made of luxuriously soft lambskin leather and has embroidered flower monogram that doesn't scream, look at me. It's classy and subtle while maintaining all its LV goodness. But hey, what do I know? Maybe I am just partial to the slouchy lambskin.
At a price of nearly $3000 though, I know I won't be purchasing this bag.

What is your view on LV? What has caught your eyes lately? (Also: any Zizou fans?)
not a huge fan of LV bags, but these look alright!

i do like the subtleness of the logo pattern. i didnt like the rainbow pattern at all. but not too crazy about this purse. I like ones with pockets everywhere!
ReplyDeleteEh, I'm indifferent to it. I've never been into LV (nor could I afford it if I were). I think that last bag is pretty-ish, but maybe a little too conservative for my taste. And oh the traveling one could do with that $3,000!!!
ReplyDeleteI love Louis V and can't help myself! whenever I see somebody with a (genuine) bag I just fall in love. However i'm not really feeling these bags, I just love the classics! xx
ReplyDelete$3000 is a lot for this bag. =( Similar leather hobos start at $100.
ReplyDeleteCowbiscuits, although I am not an LV girl, I can totally relate the feeling of falling in love when seeing a handbag. =) Handbags are just so great, aren't they?
It's a nice bag, only I wish it had a zipper because I'm scared of dropping smaller items. Nars lip gloss... you should give it a good couple of weeks before you buy a full-sized one... mine started to smell really unpleasant after a short while and I had to throw it out and I will never repurchase.
ReplyDeleteOh no, smell? I have never had that problem with a NARS lip gloss before. But I will listen to you and wait until I use the mini gloss up before thinking of purchasing. Thanks so much for the advice.
ReplyDeleteThat bag is gorgeous!! And I totally agree, whenever I see a LV logo bag or even a Coach (though less expensive) I just don't even pay attention anymore because everyone has them

Def wouldn't pay that, BUT they are super cute!
ReplyDeleteI love NARS products too! But they definitely can get a bit pricey. So when i don't want to spend the $$ on NARS Dolce Vita...i go out & get Revlon Moisture Shine in Soft Rose. It is a pretty good match even though it's a lipstick! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. I will add the Soft Rose to my list. It seems that my list is getting pretty long and I should go out to do some shopping soon.
ReplyDeletei love LV, but i really don't like that bag, even if it's priced at $100. for $3000? totally a no thank you.

I love the Epi leather range. So classic with only a tiny, discreet 'LV' in the bottom right hand corner: like others, I'm not a fan of the 'in your face' branding.
ReplyDeleteHmm, now just got to find a way to justify the spend!
I really like the bag! x
