'Emprise Diamond Ring, White Gold and Diamonds'. That's Louis Vuitton's description of this ring. No total carat weight! No karat to denote gold purity! No 4C's of the diamond industry! SIMPLY EMPRISE! They did mention that it will come with a mini Monogram canvas case manufactured by their workshops. THE PRICE TAG? A menial $223,000. Visit www.louisvuitton.com. or better yet, schedule an appointment with your LV jewellery specialist.

OMG!!! This is so my look when I go to Miami!

I don't care if it's friggin' 95° down there! I have my Keepall, my Conspiration and my Grand Froid Scarf. All I need to do is to sell my cat so I could buy me a Tambour and I'm all set! LVoe it!!! (www.louisvuitton.com)

As worn on the runway

I think I'll bring out the animal in me this Fall

Taken from the late Stephen Sprouse's design, this leopard stole is made out of silk and cashmere. With the success of its predecessor, I bet this will hit the streets donned by celebrities and LVoers alike. Visit www.louisvuitton.com.

Postscript on Arjay's Lockit

Did you know that the new Suhali clutch with the adorable padlock was inspired by the iconic shape of the Lockit? $1040 at www.louisvuitton.com or eLUXURY.com

Update, Update

Despite me being busy at work, I found out that the Suhali is the Porte Monnaie Viennois purse that is currently being phased out. There are only a few units left in the country, and rarer is the white color that I am dying to get. Problem is, I really want the Le Favori, so I am now at an impasse.

Monogramouflage Key Ring

I was shown this tonite and was highly tempted by it. Though inspired by the Monogramouflage line, it worked perfectly on my Mirage Bordeaux that I was carrying. Every ounce of will power was exhausted to resist acquiring it and I am happy to say that I was triumphant!

Damier Spencer

Niz posted a question about the Spencer, a new addition to the Damier line. I am not a big fan of messenger bags so this went under the radar. Apparently, it has been released for quite some time now. Contains a lot of pockets and promises to hold one's laptop. Currently retailing for $1530. Visit eLUXURY.com or www.louisvuitton.com

My Favorite SA's Suhali

The discontinued L'affriolant from the Suhali line, is truly a remarkable piece. She kept telling me the name of it but I was not too familiar with the collection. Her's though is a LVoely shade of blue and this is only a file photo. Kudos PK for having one.

Why am I LVoeing this all of a sudden?!

What have I missed...?

In the week that I was out on holiday, I believe a new Damier Geant Messager came out along with the much awaited Beaubourg! Visit www.louisvuitton.com.

Thunder

I never did really see much of this bag, but browsing through vuitton.com, I realized how interesting this piece really was. I guess it didn't really become a hit. For one, the shearling confines it to the fall/winter season. I LVoe the vinyl material though, and wished they combined it with other accents. They're still available for purchase if you want to check it out. Visit www.louisvuitton.com.

Loafers

Fashion maven, Arjay, has got me thinkin' about loafers for my upcoming trip. I'm considering it but I'm just not ready to buy Vuitton shoes... yet. Visit www.louisvuitton.com or eLUXURY.com

I got to wear this ring today

I went to Chevy Chase today and spent some quality time with my LVoely SA. They have the Pharrell Williams Jewellery on display as a "trunk" presentation and I was informed that only 9 or so boutiques in the US will carry the line as part of their permanent collection. The pieces were designed by the mogul producer himself in collaboration with Camille Miceli. It focuses on four themes in "which the rhythm and energy of the new continent harmonize with the spirit of continental Europe." The Blason ring is big and clunky and could very well kill a person if used properly. The neat thing about it is, that the middle portion could be flipped to either showcase mega-diamond bling or Vuitton's coat-of-arms. Other pieces from the Crown, Gracious Graphic and Rock on Cherub collection were also on display. But the pièce de résistance of them all is the Blason belt buckle (see banner) studded with diamonds, sapphires, rubies and tsavorits totalling 523 gems in all. It is truly a sight to behold. The price tag -- $59,000! Visit www.louisvuitton.com for more info.

P.S Oh, by the way, this came home with me.

Eternal Summer with the Damier Azur

No matter what season, the Damier Azur has proven to be a staple for any LVoer! Visit eLUXURY.com

If I could only have all of them!

The Damier Neverfull

Classic, chic and in my opinion, much better looking than its monogram counterpart, the Damier Neverfull is set to be released in Hawaii on May 16. Sadly, Mainland US will not be getting it until next year. I guess we just need to satisfy our cravings with pickin's from the upcoming Fall-Winter lines. LVoe the red lining!

LVoe the new photo ads!

This took my breath away...

You are looking at an Alma Special Order made from pure, untouched, vache leather!!! It looked so amazing that I could feel its essence through the monitor. I know, I know...I'm an LV freak and I LVoe everything Vuitton...but I have only read about these raw cowhide pieces and have never even had the opportunity to see one in pics. It's like seeing a white elephant or an albino tiger. Sadly, the current owner dyed the piece and now looks like a regular Alma from the Nomade line. Check it out on e-bay.
