Louis Vuitton Cosmic Blossom Phone Accessory: Cancelled

Today, the super cute and crazy colorful Cosmic Blossom collection, the latest Louis Vuitton x Takashi Murakami collaboration will be available in Louis Vuitton stores worldwide but there’s a bit of a sad news… the Phone Accessory won’t be making it in the shelves as the product has been cancelled and therefore will not be released. There’s no official explanation to the cancellation but according to my sources, it is either there’s a quality issue or licensing issues with the Murakami print.

Shop Rapport’s Spring Collection

I recently discovered Rapport accessories and love the originality and creativity of each collection. Designers Michelle and Wesley create unique, one of a kind bags that reflect the style of the Twin Cities (Minneapolis). You can tell that each bag is hand constructed using only the finest materials. When I first looked through the different collections, I immediately thought of each piece as art. The clutches are impeccably designed with touches of bold colored accents that grab the eye. Rapport’s spring collection was inspired by the museums, lakes, and streets of Minnesota.  Below are a few of my favorites.

Lola, Price: $240 and Dylan, Price: $280

Minnetonka Monica, Price: $180 and Zoey, Price: $180

Dakota, Price: $180 and Grand Ave Monica, Price: $180

Adelle, Price: $310 and Chloe, Price: $310

Tory Burch Tevin Collection

Have you seen the Tevin bags by Tory Burch?  There are two styles – the large satchel and the mini bag.  Both make a great everyday bag, and depending on how much stuff you keep in your purse, will help determine which one to buy.  It’s hard for me to choose because size isn’t an issue for me when it comes to buying a bag. I have packing down to a science, so I can easily switch up according to my mood and what I’m wearing.

I love the casual, sporty shape of the satchel, the luxurious sheen of the leather and the color choices – red, tan and navy are all classic neutrals.  There is a detachable shoulder strap so you can also carry the satchel as a shoulder bag.

The chain strap on the mini bag gives it a more polished yet still casual look. The straps are long enough to wear it crossbody style which is great when you’re on the go and want your hands free. The Tevin Satchel is $595 and the Tevin Mini Bag is $350 at ToryBurch.com

Longchamp Artitude Paint-Print Canvas Tote

It’s rare to see a colorful abstract design from Longchamp, so you can imagine how pleasantly surprised I was to find the Artitude Paint-Print Canvas Tote. It actually looks like someone took a paintbrush and attempted to create a piece of art with the vibrant color paint splashes.  I love the contrast of the black patent trim zipper compartment. Price: $350 at Bloomingdales.

DO YOU WANT THE WORLD INFERNO FRIENDSHIP SOCIETY!?

Hello Beetles,

Take a moment to revel in the glory of chunky platforms with me courtesy of Rachel Comey. Love these loads, I just wish they had an open toe to counter their bulk. I quite like chunky shoes and boots. I find they balance everything out. Photobucket Anyways, I hate wobbling around on matchsticks.
