A Little Louis (Vuitton)

Yes, I’m a suburban mom with a really expensive Covet List, so my eye often wanders in the direction of finer things.  I spied this Louis Vuitton ad just inside the cover of Allure’s August edition, and I’m pretty sure my jaw dropped open a little bit.  I don’t know where those models are headed, but I want to be on that train with them.  The beaded bags, floppy feathered hats, and gorgeous oversized buttons really appeal to me, especially in the heat of the summer, and this is such an elegant campaign for fall and winter.  I will never own a single piece from this collection, but I am still inspired by its beauty, and the mystery created within this photograph.  You can see more pictures of the pieces here.

August’s Allure also features Kate Beckinsale on the cover and a stunning photo spread with her dressed in the fall collections of many designers, including Louis Vuitton.  Oh, how I wish I had some place to wear that hat.  In the rain.  In England.  A girl can dream, can’t she?
