Yeah… so Julia was waiting for Jesse to get done taking pictures today, and I guess she was a little bored.  Luckily, Hermes still has the “Make your own Kelly” pattern and directions on the Hermes.com website.

So, she whipped up the little paper Kelly above!  Jesse was still taking pictures when she’d finished, so I had him snap one of her adorable creation for me to share!

OK, I usually do celeb shots for this segment of my blog… and this is after all, “just” my brother. He’s not famous- just runs the photos and Louis Vuitton trunk part of our business here at FASHIONPHILE (handles sales and rentals to studios, for parties and events). You might remember him from our YouTube Evolution of Beauty video.

But I love, love, love this bag. We get emails all the time asking our opinion on Louis Vuitton “man bags” and I’m so excited whenever we’re able to list anything in this line.

This is an authentic pre-owned Louis Vuitton Mini Lin Initials Rope messenger bag. It’s such a perfect size, with a handy strap that can be carried across the body, and plenty of pockets and nooks and crannies to organize all your carp! And did I mention, that it’s just a great looking bag?

Be sure to check it out!

Uh, yeah… with Wikipedia and Google, who needs an Encyclopedia?

I guess, I do, if it comes with this amazing monogram Louis Vuitton custom circa 1900 antique book trunk.

I mean, this stuff speaks for itself… but here are a few more pieces. I just love the personalization. I mean, everyone at the Grove can be carrying a Louis Vuitton monogram Speedy 25… but if mine is custom hand painted with the USC Trojans logo: it’s one of a kind! (This isn’t my bag- but how cool is that?)

Well, that didn’t work! It looks like my previous post didn’t include the fantastic custom art that I’d intended!

Here’s some of the cool pieces hand painted by the obviously fabulous, Nick Taylor for Louis Vuitton:

Well, I saw these pictures of Dita on Just Jared- and was totally inspired by the custom paint job.

You see, I love custom paint.  A lot.  And so, I got to thinking, that perhaps some of you out there really enjoy custom paint as well.  So, I thought I’d share some pictures of some really cool custom pieces done by a fabulous local hand painter for Louis Vuitton… Nick Taylor.
