I always love seeing the results! You know what I mean… you hear through the grape-vine that “so and so” got a little work done. Who doesn’t want to take a peek?

The Louis Vuitton Boutique was one of the original fixtures when the fabulous Copley Place opened its doors in Boston in 1984. It’s high time it got a little overhaul, and it sounds like that’s exactly what happened.

According to WWD, the new boutique is 7,200 square foot! This is more than twice as big as it was in it’s previous life. It’s also now the 15th “Global Store” in the US. This means that in addition to just carrying leather goods, it will have women’s and men’s shoes, ready to wear and even an exclusive, “secluded” fine jewelry section.

Sounds fab! I’d love to see some of the cosmetic changes. From WWD:

The ceiling was pushed up about 3 feet to create a tray ceiling finished with Venetian plaster squares that mimic the signature Damier print. The 185-foot metal-and-glass facade also has a Damier motif.

Wow! If you have any pictures- please send them on! I’m dying to see!

People ask me this all the time… what’s the best LV for a mom?Well, we all know that Louis Vuitton has made some really cool Mini Lin diaper bags for this very purpose, for $1950 at your local Boutique or on their Eluxury website.

(Victoria with her older style Mini Lin Diaper bag)

But I think I’d put in a vote in for Angelina’s Louis Vuitton Monogram Cabas Mezzo. It’s a good sized bag- which is important. I also need a bag with a zipper on top. I mean, it’s amazing how much you can fit inside- but you don’t need everyone else to be able to see all you’ve jammed in there.

But don’t just take my word for it… check out what bag Scarelett Johansson’s wearing as her “Nanny Bag” in “The Nanny Diaries”:

Here’s the whole trailer for a better look:Whether you’re a mom, or a nanny, a dad or maybe Britney’s new “Manny” and you’re in the market for a new bag- we have a great authentic monogram Louis Vuitton Cabas Mezzo that is just what you’re looking for!

Well, the nominees were just announced on Tuesday. And since I’m, quite frankly long overdue for a good awards show (since the debacle with the canceled Golden Globes)- I thought I’d get geared up for the Oscars: The 80th Annual Academy Awards, by spotlighting one of my all time favorite bags- The Louis Vuitton “Oskar” Waltz.

I mean, WOW!!! Is she photogenic, or what? No…. not Angie Harmon (although, she is looking hot!) But, that Oskar!

The combo of the traditional monogram with contrasting ostrich, lizard, python and fabulous accenting Cabochons is simply stunning!

It was a Fall/Winter 2005 introduction- limited edition and immediately completely sold out. It’s rarely seen today, even on eBay. But guess who’s got one?

She’s just a gorgeous bag- there’s no way around it. We are so pleased to be able to present this authentic Louis Vuitton Monogram Oskar Waltz on eBay right now. If you have any questions about it- please drop me a note.  And click on the link to see a ton more pictures!

But don’t trust us! Go ahead, ask Oprah!

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.

OK… I’ve already said that I hate these little games, they’re so mean! But that said, what do you think? Who looks better sporting the classic monogram Louis Vuitton Musette?

Again- it’s like these Disney Channel Divas all wear the same bags (think Ashley & Vanessa Hudgens). The truth is, I like the Miley’s complete look- and it works with a strong shoulder bag, like the Musette. But, Ashley’s wearing it messenger style- and it’s a great, young look. Here she is at Shop Intuition, wearing it on her shoulder:

If you’re into the look, but don’t want to pay the whole $960 to pick it up from a Louis Vuitton Boutique or Eluxury.com… you know we’ve got you covered!

We have a guaranteed authentic, really well cared for (and rarely carried) monogram Louis Vuitton Musette on eBay right now, for far less than authentic. Take a look!

So maybe you aren’t into the cloudy effects of the Olympe line… here’s another quilt-ey soft favorite of Duff’s from Louis Vuitton.

Hilary loves to add a shocking splash of “wow” to her solid black outfits, doesn’t she. That’s Hilary with her copper Louis Vuitton Limelight. It’s a good look for her, don’t you think?

It would be easy for you to recreate a really similar look- the outfit’s a breeze- black long sleeve tunic/ sweater dress with black textured leggings and peep-toes… coupled with the nearly brand new, authentic copper Louis Vuitton Limelight that we have right now on eBay- and you’re set!

No, that isn’t a Stephen Sprouse Leopard Print bra… but Kylie is wearing a fabulous Stephen Sprouse graffiti pochette….

The Graffiti line came and went in limited edition in 2001. If you’re loving the look, the only way to get one now, is on the secondary market. And that’s where we come in! We happen to have an authentic peach Louis Vuitton Stephen Sprouse graffiti pochette right now listed on eBay!

Want to know more about “Who is Stephen Sprouse?” I wrote a handy little blog entry on him a while back if you are interested…

The Graffiti line is so striking! If you’re interested in any other LV Sprouse Graffiti pieces, we’ve got a few others listed.
