The Limited Louis Vuitton Fabrizio Plessi Epi Bag
Earlier this month Louis Vuitton opened up their new largest flapship store over in Hong Kong. For the new store, artist Fabrizio Plessi (a pioneer in video art in Europe), decorated Hong Kong’s new store with huge LED screens that feature molten gold cascading along side golden fixtures & walls. That’s not all for Fabrizio Plessi. The artist even collaborated with LV to create the Plessi digital bag (pictured above). Done in black epi leather, the bag has an LCD screen showing images of the same molten gold image through a cutout LV logo.

This bag is obviously a collectors item, reserved for only the rich and famous. This purse retails for (get ready,) a staggering $50,000 (us).

If your average purse budget can’t afford this limited edition style, don’t get your hopes up, Louis Vuitton has the almost identical Sac Plat tote in black Epi for only $1,290 over @ eluxury

… I really do mean almost identical. Pretty much it’s the same Louis Vuitton sac plat minus being touched by Fabrizio and featuring the LCD screen, also of course the price is hugely different.

I really like the Sac Plat style. It’s a great everyday style. It’s the orginal shopping companion. The Sac Plat was created back in 1968, it was the first bag by Louis Vuitton dedicated to shopping. The size measures in at 14.3″ x 14.9″ x 3.5″. Which is ideal for shopping. Who wants a bulgy bag getting in their way?

For more information on the video art Plessi bag contact Hong Kong’s Canton Road location @ (852)8100.1182

Juicy Couture Leather Cell Phone Holder
Okay, imagine yourself in this senerio:
You’re at work and your boss just kept giving you things to do because she wanted everything finished before the end of the day. And, of course, all you wanted to do was hurry up, get done, and get out of there. Why? You have a hot date tonight (or perhaps a long looked forward to night out with the girls)! So finally you get to a stopping point and race out of there before anything else falls on your lap. You get home and you are quite anxious because you are running late. So you quickly throw on your favorite dress and make a grab for that cute little clutch you have. But wait… you still have to gather all of the things you need out of that gigantic work tote and put them in your bag before you can walk out that door. Dang it! Where are your keys? Where is your cell phone? And your credit cards? If only you didn’t have to fumble around looking for all those things. Now you’re really going to be late!

So has this ever happened to you? To tell you the truth, this happens to me ALL the time. I am chronically late for where ever I might be going. Believe me, its not easy having to run on a tight schedule every day. Going from school to home to work. Ugh! So if I actually have plans to go out somewhere, I don’t want to be stuck looking endlessly for all the things I need to take with me.

Well the other day, I came across what might be an excellent solution. It’s this Juicy Couture Leather Cell Phone Holder. Not only is it a cell phone holder, but it holds your credit cards, ID, and keys as well! Wow, everything you need in one little package. You can just grab and go!

Juicy Couture Leather Cell Phone Holder features:
See-Through ID Window
Four Credit Card Slots (secured with a snap closure)
Zip-Around Cell Phone Compartment
Key Ring
Measures 5 1/2″ x 1/2″ x 3″
Retails for $75

Designer Laptop Cases for all Budgets
Ditch the company issued plain black laptop case and discover these fun, not too flashy designer laptop cases.

I can not remember life before the internet. I also never realized how much I am in need of this little piece of technology. For instance a couple days ago, my internet was not connecting all day for some reason (talk about frustrating). The first thing I do every morning is respond to the thousands (okay dozens) of emails, browse the web reading articles on what’s going on in the world, serf the web for some sweet deals or events, etc. I mean everybody is reliant in someway with the computer whether for work, school, shopping, and so on. And pretty much everyone has a laptop. But do you have a stylish cheap chic laptop cover case? Check these out…

The Picks:

> Nine West “New Age” Computer Business Tote – Roomy and oversized, this lavender case is designed with ample space for all your everyday essentials. The jacquard Nine West signature pattern body features two side pockets and a long Pebble PVC handles (for easy over-the-shoulder transport). I don’t know what the interior looks like since they didn’t list that information on the site. But one person left a review where they expressed how it’s much larger than expected….”This is an awesome tote if you’re looking for something on the huge side. I just needed a normal tote to but files and maybe my laptop in and it turned out much bigger than I expected. It came in a huge box and I was shocked when I got it. The prices change too. I got it for $44 and then a day later I saw it for $100. The color is great and you’ll have fun with it but only if you’re looking for something on the huge side.”

Gucci | Messenger Man Bag | View!
I probably would have to tell you this Messenger Man bag was Gucci for you to realize. That’s what I like most about this bag - you are getting the Gucci quality in fabric but each bag is adorned with the discreet double G logo tag on the front, for that extra touch of Gucci. The measurements of this Gucci man bag are 16″ x 12″ x 4″.
