Louis Vuitton

Let the sun shine! That’s exactly what Diane Kruger did 10 months ago at the Berlin photocall for Inglourious Basterds. Her itsy bitsy (that’s my speak for super short) dress by Louis Vuitton featured sailor-like buttons, side pockets and a bow across the chest which playfully complimented the color and cut. Though her outfit was accessorized with earrings, a watch and open toe shoes, they were all subdued to allow the dress to shine, almost literally, on its own.

There’s something I really hate about designer fashion and that is shameless label-whoring. I never understood the appeal of flaunting an oversized logo on your chest, bag or wherever you can print a big CHANEL on. Seriously, do people really think they get more respect when everyone knows they’re toting around an expensive bag? Expensive does not equal style. And if there’s anything worse than label-whoring it’s fake label-whoring. I mean if you are going to brag at least make sure you have a reason to do so. Possessing a $30 fake Louis Vuitton certainly doesn’t count.

I do like designer steals, but I detest counterfeits and will never promote those questionable goods on this blog. I’m sure you’ll know where to get a crappy cheap Louis Vuitton fake anyway. So what’s a girl to do if she adores the Louis Vuitton style, but doesn’t want to be seen carrying a fake on her arm? Exactly, she looks for a bag that imitates the style, not the logos. Handbag Heaven‘s Hartford patent tote is a wonderful example of such bag. It’s very reminiscent of the LV Vernis Alma bag without flat-out copying it. Plus, it’s such a steal at under $50.
