I think one of the biggest debates here at Bag Snob is Louis Vuitton: to buy it, or not? There are the die hards who will never give up their collection of LV bags and who will buy whatever the brand serves up. The ex-fans (like myself) who will keep their set of vintage luggage from the '70s and the LV bags collected throughout the years but will not invest any more time or money on them. And then there are those who are disgusted by the whoring out of the label and brand. Which one are you? Let me know because I am off to a Blogger Breakfast with Louis Vuitton's CEO of North America. (Thanks to Lesley of Fashiontribes for the invitation!) I am very interested in what he has to say about the brand and how it will continue its exclusive appeal considering it's mass global campaign. Stay tuned!

All in DVF dresses. Tina and Kelly in DVF for H. Stern knot necklaces and bracelets. We filmed for almost 10 hours yesterday. Wearing Louboutins for that length of time is taxing to the feet to say the least. LOL. I am only going to tell you about one of our guests, her friends call her "Dee-ahn", her staff calls her DVF, her fans simply call her Diane. Yup, the legendary designer and princess, Diane von Furstenberg! She was the most lovely women. She swept up to me and said "Are you Tina the Bag Girl? I have heard so much about you!" and then showered me with kisses. She then turned to Kelly and did same. She is so regal and has the most amazing energy! Talk about aging gracefully, DVF is beautiful, natural, and ageless! I even got a tour of her apartment above her studio, I want to move in! Can't wait to start another day of filming!

Softy Tote was $1800 now $1080, Plateau Sasha Sandals $595 now $357 Tod's is having a once in a lifetime sale, 40% off of everything in the Spring collection!! I guess the bad economy is affecting all of us - we can now enjoy massive savings!! =) I have been wanting the softy tote all season, they come in amazing spring colors and I am getting the light teal. I have been waiting for it to go on sale but I never expected 40% off!! It is so soft, like a big pillow, and is uber comfy and easy to use. I got the matching driving moccasins which makes for the ultimate duo for suburbia life (city life, I pay full price for!). This is a private sale for their loyal customers but call Carla at the Beverly Hills boutique at 310-285-0591, tell her Kelly Cook from Bag Snob sent you and she will let you have whatever you want! The private sale is May 15-17, after that the sale opens to everyone, but by then all the good stuff will have sold out, especially if you want shoes.

There are those days we all need to be proper and ladylike - what can be more appropriate for that than this Nancy Gonzalez croc and python bag? It is eternally classic but the gold metallic python trim certainly spices things up a bit. The much needed pleating and the ruched python band definitely updates an otherwise traditional shape. I saw this bag on someone (at the Barneys Christian Louboutin personal appearance, everyone there had fabulous bags!) and immediately jumped her to get all the info on it. She had it in chocolate but I love the silver to make it a bit less serious, brown croc is the ultimate classic color for croc but it does make it kind of old lady-ish. And I don't ever like black croc because you can't see the detail in the skin. Of course, the best thing about Nancy Gonzalez is the fantastic price point. It is $3650 (for a mostly croc bag!!) at Bergdorf Goodman.
