Unreal! So I've been reading all about the Hollywood Hills cat burglars- who cased and robbed the homes of a bunch of local celebrities including Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and maybe even Orlando Bloom and Megan Fox!
Well, it looks like they didn't bring their own bags for the capers. Duh! I guess why do that when they've got their pick of hot designer bags to pick from? The image above is just SOME of Paris Hilton's jewelry that they heisted- and the Louis Vuitton Monogramouflage Keepall that they carried it all in!
It really doesn't get much more obnoxious than this. I guess the only thing more obnoxious than Paris carrying her new "Chewy Vuiton" dog bed on the streets of Robertson is the fact that it's all over the internets that this is a not a doggie bag at all, but a over-the-top tote bag!
The Daily Mail: "She was up bright and early this morning for some retail therapy on Robertson Boulevard - carrying a very oversized Chewy Vuitton bag. "
Yikes! That would be bad.
Do you remember Chewy Vuiton? A Las Vegas company- Haute Diggity Dog producesChewy Vuiton, Sniffany & Company, Chewnel #5 & Dog Perignonn etc. (you get the idea!) They say they produce parody pieces (which are protected in Trademark disputes), what do you think?
In honor of all moms on the day of the Mother, I thought I'd post some pics of some of the real talent behind some of the celebs that we love, with the bags that we love...
The Louis Vuitton Don with his mom Donda West and her Louis Vuitton Viva Cite PM. Will we ever forget Kanye's moving tribute to her soon after her death last year at the Grammy's. This is problably a hard day for Kanye and any of you who have lost a mom. I hope you'll be able to think of some good memories together today....
And then we have George Clooney and his mom Nina. She's carrying a Louis Vuitton Luco Tote. How cute is she. She looks about his age- just look at that skin!!! Those are some sweet genes!
Here's Kathy Hilton in her comfy slippers getting off the plane with Paris and with her Louis Vuitton Neverfull. It's got the trunks & bags pochette and Pastilles Key chain attached for accent. This poor woman's been put through the ringer and seems to have come out of it with her sanity intact. Good for her.
This is Lisa Tisdale, Ashley's mom. She's got a long road ahead... so good luck to her! Loving her Louis Vuitton Neo Bucket!
I wanted to pick one person to profile here... but what the heck. The Louis Vuitton Monogram Pegase really is the travel bag of choice for our Hollywood neighbors. We've got David Beckham and Posh, Hilary Duff, Cameron Diaz, Jessica Simpson, Catherine McPhee, Paris Hilton, Nicole Simpson, and Rachel Zoe... but honestly, I could have gone on... I just didn't want to make the pictures any smaller. Really, they're all carrying it.
So, why is the Pegase so often the luggage choice for celebrities?
1) It's a Rolling Suitcase (need I say more?)
2) It's roomy, and structured
3) The Pegase 50 and smaller can actually be carried on...
3) It's Louis Vuitton, baby!
But why the heck pay the full $1900 plus tax retail price at a Louis Vuitton Boutique or on Eluxury? We've got an absolutely guaranteed authentic Monogram Louis Vuitton Pegase 50 on eBay right now with a Buy it now of over $500 less... an a reserve at even less than that. Check it out!
Here we've got Paris Hilton and Christina Ricci both carrying the Louis Vuitton Irvine. OK, I know it's not really fair to pit a candid shot against a catalog pic... but hear me out.
So Paris' is a candid picture. Probably one of hundreds taken by paparazzi that day. But she looks fantastic... and I really love her choice in bags. The Louis Vuitton Irvine really completes the look and complements her dress.
And, what can you say... Christina looks AMAZING in this Louis Vuitton ad for the F/W 2004 Velour Irvine. Really. Just stunning. Overall, I do just love Ricci here- and I love her hair, her dress, her look and the whole feel of the layout... and I think the Irvine was the perfect choice- to accent that feel.
But... it's a photo shoot. We've got some serious photoshop going on here, and lighting, and costuming, etc.
I really love Christina's layout, but I'm going with Paris on this one...
The Louis Vuitton Velour line came out F/W 2004 in limited edition. You just can't get them anymore from Louis Vuitton, or eLuxury. If you'd just love to wear what they're wearing- we have an authentic, pre-owned Louis Vuitton Velour Irvine on eBay right now. It's a gorgeous bag- that you could pick up for a great price. Be sure to check it out...
Well... I thought it would be fun to pit sisters against sisters. So what do you think? Who's wearing the Louis Vuitton Cerises Speedy 25 Better? The Hilton's or the Simpsons?
I have a hard time calling it for the Hilton sisters- because poor Jessica is clearly just out picking up some milk at Ralphs. And, I think we can all agree that the black hair phase was never a good one for Ashley.
I'm going to have to go with Nikky Hilton here. She's looking so good it doesn't matter that Paris is wearing Dr. Pepper sweats.
OK... I've been watching the whole Paris Hilton/ Benji Madden publicity stunt unfold. And I've been wanting to post on Paris' monogram Louis Vuitton beanie... but I just kept staring at Benji. He has been looking so familiar to me lately! Well, doing my last blog, it came to me- like a flash of inspiration! He's looking more and more like the Classic newer, pudgy Boy George! From his choice in head-gear, to his all black clothes, and preferred foot-ware! (Yes, I did match that arrow with BG's fabulous eyeshadow!)
(My sister Emily and bro-in-law Ben were driving down Canon a couple days ago here in Beverly Hills, and Paris & Benji crossed the road in front of them. Emily almost didn't recognize her- because she was totally dressed like him... but they were being followed by a Paparazzi (single one- interestingly enough) and so made sure to get a good look!)
Hmmm... so here we go. You know I always feel kind of bad playing this game- especially when one "player" obviously looks better than the other. But this one I can do!
So, what do you think? Who is wearing the Louis Vuitton Multicolore Keepall 45 better? Unapologetic, amateur sex tape star and semi-celebutante Paris Hilton, or Unapologetic, amateur sex tape star and semi-celebutante Kim Kardashian?
I'm definitely more into Keeping up with Kim on this one. Her Juicy track suit looks great with her skin-tone AND all the pinks in the multicolore. That Keepall is striking and the vachetta looks fresh.
Paris looks like she needs an upgrade. I know it's a dark picture, but the leather on her bag looks like it's been around the block a couple of times. (Which I guess makes sense, for Paris' luggage.) We'd love to help her out!
We have an authentic, pre-owned white multicolore Louis Vuitton Keepall 45 (the only size Keepall available for the Multicolore line) on eBay right now! It's a gorgeous bag with a ton of pinks and purples right up front where we like them!
Of course, Paris could pick up a new Keepall down the street, at the Rodeo Louis Vuitton for $2000 (well, I guess till yesterday when they unveiled their latest price increase). Unfortunately, it's sold out on Eluxury right now.
