>> Never say never, eh?  We must admit, we were never big fans of Louis Vuitton bags. This season is totally different, however – Takahashi Murakami and Louis Vuitton were a match made in heaven.  Their newest offspring, the Cerises line, has everybody and their mom wanting it, even – oh, the horror – us.  On sale for a mere $1,140, the sac plat makes us slightly hesitant to whip out the trusty ol’ carte de credit – a fruit product should never cost more than a pocket full of change. 

So if you can’t quite afford the real deal, there are plenty of other eye (cherry)-poppin’ options.    

These big, ripe babies are just ready to dangle from your ears – at only 1% of the LV asking price.  $18 at fredflare.com

>> And they say nothing is cooler than sliced bread. 

We beg to differ – we’ve got our fork rings, which are forkin’ awesome, if we may say so.  From merely that vicious forkalicious cutlery and smooth glass baubles, Alejandro Galicia molds his masterpieces, which run from around $20-30 at Form & Function Productions.  Sweet deal? We think so.
