When I think if the hordes of people that make their annual pilgrimage to the Apple unveiling events, I usually imagine the kids recently dropped off by their moms, killing time playing with magic cards and discussing the latest strategy in World of Warcraft. While watching the live announcement today on Gizmodo, as an admitted Mac geek myself, I saw this image of this cute girl sporting her Louis Vuitton Watercolor Speedy. I'm glad she took this opportunity to class up the place. Via Gizmodo
It's hard to know what to do right now- the images we see on TV and the internet of the devastation in Haiti are just heart wrenching.
We thought we'd start out by donating a bag- the Louis Vuitton Monogram Vertical Lockit that we just listed on eBay 100% to the American Red Cross. We're also donating 10% of every other bag that we've listed on eBay (think Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Chanel, Bottega Veneta...) this week to the American Red Cross.
We're doing it on eBay, cause they've got a program where they automatically take those funds- and we don't have to worry about the logistics of getting the money to the right people. The American Red Cross automatically gets the money at the close of the auctions.
Keep watching our blog- cause I'm going to be adding more information on how you can help out. We'll be listing items free of charge (we charge no commission- keep no funds) if you have a luxury pre-owned bag you'd like to donate to the cause....
If you catch this blog, shoot us an email or give us a call. We've been trying to reach you at the email address you registered with, and aren't getting a response. Ya won our MyCollection drawing, friend... and we'd love to send you your bag 
We'll unfortunately (for you- I guess very fortunately for another MC friend) have to draw another name if we can't reach you.
Love the window display at the Louis Vuitton boutique around the corner- on Rodeo Drive! I love the creativity behind these displays. They always make me think of the part of the Marc Jacobs & Louis Vuitton documentary where shows some of them put up and being evaluated by- I believe it was Bernard Arnault himself!
Anyway, anything cool up in the windows of the boutiques in your neighborhood? Take a quick pic on your phone and email it over! I'd love to post it!!!
How'd I miss this cute little video from Ratatouille!
Remy says, "No, no, no, no, no... Don't be a knock-off Nigel. Why settle for second best, when you can have the real thing!"
Such a wise little rat! And it so relates to everything: not just pirated DVDs, but handbags as well. It's a good reminder that you can carry the real thing.
There was a head's up in the New York Post yesterday that there's a real problem with Fake Hermes Birkin's popping up all over the city. It warned:
"Attention, fashionistas: New York is on fake Birkin alert! There's been a sudden influx of faux Hermes Birkin bags around the city, popping up especially on subways and buses."
Ladies & Gents, I know the recession has hit hard, but there's no need to settle. If you love Hermes or Louis Vuitton, or Chanel, or Gucci- whatever... you don't have to spend full retail to get it- but don't carry a fake. If you want a deal- get it second hand. Sure, we'd TOTALLY LOVE IT if you bought it from Fashionphile- but if not, search other reputable sellers, on eBay or the web.
Just be careful, and get the real deal!
Ha! Love the look Amy Adams gives Matthew Goode when she explains to him, "it's a... Vuitton". Classic! Gotta see Leap Year- Ireland is amazing and Amy's too cute! Can't wait!
It's good to be back! Hope you've all had a fine Holiday! I'm typing from my new and unfortunately, not improved at all MacBook. The hard drive on my trusty old one totally bit the dust and we're still trying to recover anything possible from its dead and dusty inner workings- why, oh WHY don't I back up my stuff more often? ARGH! But I digress!
Just wanted to share the cutest Tweet EVER that I was sent over the holidays! I so love being able to connect real fashionphiles with the bags they love! And this is just the epitome of what I'm talking about. I woke up one fine morning to this lovely tweet from Danny (you can follow him at Danny_Dior):
http://twitpic.com/vvf1c - Thanks Fashionphile For My Dior Rasta Tote!
I asked if I could share it all with you cause I just love the happy look on his face! I can SOOOO relate! And I love his little rasta graphics!
Thank YOU Danny, and thank you all for making 2009 such a great one! We're going to work as hard as we can to make 2010 bigger and better! Look forward to an update on what exactly that means
