Louis Vuitton ‘Ailleures’ Canvas Totes Summer 2011

These new releases are a little insight to this spring and summers LV specials. Louis Vuitton “Ailleures” (in English, “somewhere else”) could be perfect for a relaxing holiday, or day out around town on a sunny day.  Whether you wear the small tote or the the large one these eye opening totes will be the must have for this Summer,  a great carry, and would stand out amongst any beach bag by the shore. In a variety of three designs, these weigthless totes are chic and maintain that same Louis Vuitton essence. Available in one of three different silkscreen prints, titled ”Promenade,” “Riviera” and “Adventure,” they really just evoke that luxury lazy day style for a perfect Summer to come.

Bape Camouflaged Pumps

BAPE have released an unusual pair of Camouflage Ballerina Flats? Flats thats right! They are effortless slip-ons and can certainly rep up well with a pair of dirty denims! Loving this new release, these pumps certainly are an eye opener from Bape’s usual style!

 

Givenchy Studded Back Pack

I’m still lost for words… Its boisterous, Its Studded, and Its Givenchy. The Spring and Summer of 2011 will feature some of the best in the bags, but this is gotta be my most fave so far. I was ogling over the Burberry Prorsum for weeks, but now its love at first sight with this Leather studded back pack! Its all about that biker fashion style that i mentioned in ‘Star Studded Feature‘ earlier on in Jan. This unisex BAG FULL OF HOTNESS can tone up any casual style and would certainly turn a few heads. It’s made using 100% leather and has a classic backpack construction with a front zip pocket and fully studded shoulder straps.

Kim Kardashian ‘Samurai Dress’

The Reality TV Star; Kim Kardashian, never fails to dress for the occasion, arriving at the Prince concert Madison Square Gardens (NY), she proved how sharp she is, dressed in the “Samurai” dress, by Alexander McQueen. She covers all and bears all in this bodycon dress, the tight skin ensemble enhances her most talked about assets, with a modest higher neck line, and full sleeves, this fashionista always pleases fashion spectators, no matter what she wears. While the show proceeded Prince aka ‘The Purple One’  had invited Miss Kardashian on stage to shake her cake, but the shy socialite, was star studded and froze, till she was then playfully kicked off stage by Prince for not dancing. Kim K supports her painted on like dress, with Super High Christian Louboutin ‘Maggie’ pumps.

Get the Look – The Alexander McQueen dress will set you back a few hundred pounds, so the style hunting lead me to high street retailer Top Shop, who are retailing a similar dress in tie die for £34; accenting some of the bold colors seen on the Alexander McQueen Samurai dress.

Firing Manolo’s

The Manolo Blahnik Military Ankle-Cuff Sandals for this spring, are fully loaded with bullets. This military inspired design is accented with bullet beads and chains, beautifully constructed on a pair of tan leather deux strap sandal, to give it that rugged look with a unique style. Its not the most elegant thought to have bullets hanging off a pair of Manolo’s, but its certainly “put the War in Wardrobe.”
