Perhaps not as well-known for its watch engineering as it is its fashion and luggage offerings, the new Louis Vuitton Tambour Mysterieuse watch makes a strong case for itself. Inspired by movements originally conceived by Jean-Eugene Robert Houdin back in the 19th century, Louis Vuitton’s appropriation carries on the legacy as the watch features on mobile sapphire discs which create a stunning visual arrangement between the mechanics and the markers around the dial. The watch is also fully customizable to the users preferences including parts of the strap and dial.

Who needs names, dates and places when you have Lanvin? Red is the color for this particular piece and what this color does to this dress is beyond words! I could slap Anna (oops, one name drop) for showing out like this!

Right when I thought Louis Vuitton can't do anything else to impress me they do; This time in the form of a LV Flash Drive. The Louie V Flash Drive adorned in the New, Damier Graphite logo features a storage capacity of 4GB along with a shiny, outer cover. Priced at $450, would you add this 'Hot Commodity' to your list of school-must haves? Cast your vote below!
I was browsing the infamous Kanye University Blog when I came across this very interesting picture. Your eyes do not deceive you; Above, those are Louis Vuitton pieces constructed from Legos. How innovative is that? I was never into Legos as a child but, if they were constructed in the signature LV color I know I'd been the first one in the playroom. The Lego interpretation was made by Chiu Keung; a "expert-builder" who's a member of the Hong Kong Lego User Group. So, he's not new to this, I'd have to say he's true to this!

Now, all my women with a light bulge know about Spanx; you've grown to love them and some would call them a part of their everyday life. Well Spanx has a new clothing line called Haute Contour. The new collection features the classic waist shrinking, bulge hiding fabric but, with the new addition of lace tops and skirts. It's perfect for the delicate type who has that light summer bulge she's still getting rid of. The collection is so innovative that it's been said that if one were to ever undress from the pieces in front of someone it would not be evident that the person was wearing slimming undergarments. Now imagine this; you have a hot date with Maurice, your old boo who hasn't seen you in 3 months. Now he is expecting you to look fierce but, he also remembers the extra pounds you put on while he was gone. Now when you show up with the new Haute Contour Spanx on, not only will he be impressed by how fierce you look but, by the appearance of how small you are. Now, if that's not innovation I don't know what it is!
Above, I present some pieces from the new Louis Vuitton Fall 2009 Collection; Now you know I'm one for labels. Not for the name but, for the quality. I'm a profound believer in you get what you pay for. That ties directly with the new Louis Vuitton pieces above. Get into the stone detailing in correlation with the beautiful coloring of the diamonds. I could see these draped on Kerry Washington or Sarah Jessica Parker. These aren't for the average; they're for the type who tips without remorse.
