Sean Connery and Louis Vuitton

sean-connery-for-louis-vuitton

With joy and delight I learned that none other than Sir Sean Connery was appearing in this new Louis Vuitton ad, supporting the Climate Project. At 78 years of age, the Scotsman still has the same striking looks and vibrant charm that made him world-famous as Double-O Seven - LV could not have picked a better representative for its latest campaign. Bravo!

Louis Vuitton Heart Coin Purse

louis-vuitton-heart-coin-purseRight around the corner is Valentine's Day. Valentine's Day is one of my favorite Hallmark Holidays. Not a necessity, and totally just a reason to be pampered, but I absolutely love it. This year Vlad and I will spend the day very low key, as a mere week after we have our wedding. I am thinking a nice dinner and love movie at home. If I were hoping for a gift, I would be completely thrilled with the Louis Vuitton Heart Coin Purse which is a highly sought after accessory from the house of LV. The cute coin purse is designed in the Monogram Vernis leather and is available in orange sunset, green tonic, and amarante. The golden brass chain strap has a resin hard charm at the end, the perfect touch. I adore this accessory from Louis Vuitton. If you are on the hunt or need to give a hint for a Valentine's Day gift, this is a great option. Buy through eLuxury for $450.

Louis Vuitton Candy Scarf

louis-vuitton-candy-scarfSo, I got TI's new CD, "Paper Trail," a few days ago and there's a song on it that I really like called "Swing Ya Rag." It's a song you'll probably hear on radio eventually, and if you like to go out and dance, you'll probably hear it even sooner. When singing along in my car (yes, I rap alone in my car. You should try it), I can't help but notice how much he mentions Louis Vuitton and Gucci "rags," which I'm assuming must be scarves. Mostly, while rapping, I mistakenly say "bag" instead of "rag" because I think I've developed some weird sort of mild, purse-related Tourette's, but I digress. These "rags" are apparently swung above the head, in lieu of dancing, at clubs.

So, I couldn't help but ask myself: if I were to swing a rag, what rag would I swing? And today, I would swing the Louis Vuitton Candy Scarf/rag. It has a fun, pop-art sensibility to it that reminds me of the jelly-filled jewelry I used to have as a little kid in the 80s. That jewelry had glitter and other tiny, shiny treasures floating in the brightly-colored goo inside, the the arrangement of the LV logos and stars in this scarf look like someone has squeezed all the floating goodness towards the edges. It's casual, glam, and a lot of fun - perfect for the type of rag-swinging that TI seems to be advocating. Buy through eLuxury for $340.

Louis Vuitton Card Deck Set

louis-vuitton-card-deck-setFolks, we've done it. I think. Maybe I'm being optimistic. But, with the advent of the Louis Vuitton Card Deck Set, I think it may be possible for someone with enough money and enough dedication to go through their entire day without deigning to use a product that's not luxury branded. We've covered Chanel and Hermes bicycles, Gucci makes wallpaper, Fendi makes bedding, Versace makes furniture. And now, your husband won't just be playing poker with the guys, he'll be playing Louis Vuitton poker. And that won't get him made fun of by his buddies AT ALL, I promise.

Eluxury promises that this set includes three "luxurious" decks of cards, so please, help me brainstorm in the comments - exactly how does one make playing cards luxurious? The first thing that came to my mind was having the symbols ever so carefully covered in close-cropped mink, making them slightly furry. How would you do it? Buy through eLuxury for $105.
