Vivian Alexander Easter Egg Purse



Eggs are made to be eaten, not worn. After finding these “egg” purses all we can ask ourselves is what is the fashion world coming to? Don’t get me wrong, the price tag is high and the adornments are lovely. Who would actually go out in public wearing one of these? With Easter on its way, Vivian Alexander released the Easter Egg Purse. This “bag” is decorated on the outside with pastel easter eggs lined with little gems on a pearly white background. The inside of the bag is lined with none other than the finest sand washed silk. Other perks to the bag include the removable gold strap and upon opening a large beveled mirror in the top.

As odd as we find the purse, we are not saying that Vivian Alexander’s work is not the most intricate and ornate work out there. The Vivian Alexander Imperial Coronation Egg was shipped to Rome and used in the filming of the highlight heist in Warner Bros. Ocean’s 12. Yet despite the accolades received on Alexander’s work, I would never ever be seen wearing his purses. After stumbling over this new “egg”purse all we can think is how rotten!

Louis Vuitton Annette Travel Bag



We all travel. And we all carry luggage. The thing about luggage is that usually we don’t think about it as a fashion statement; beleive me, it is. Have you ever thought about how many people you pass from airport to airport, not to mention picking up your luggage at baggage claim. Do you want to be that person picking up the unmatching, worn in, ugly baggage or the one who everyone watches picking up your matching LV baggage? I damn well know I’d love to be envied, rather than pittied.

Do us all a favor, trash the old stuff and buy yourself some totally trendy luggage.

I suggest the totally obviously hip Louis Vuitton Annette luggage on wheels. For a short weekend trip, this will do the trick. The bag allows for easy travel and sports the LV black monogram canvas with leather trim, sturdy noiseless wheels, and a double zipper with a pretty spacious inner compartment. The bag is not huge, but can be used as a carry on bag and fit nicely overhead so you can avoid baggage claim, which is alwaya a huge plus. As with any other Louis Vuitton bag the price isn’t cheap, but who cares if you can look that good. Goes for a steep price tag of $1,780.
