Stresa... stresses me!!!

Just when I thought I'm done with my "fascination" with LV handbags, and looking out to other brands to salivate and dream about... I had to check on the LV's official website to check out someone's wishlist and discovered STRESA!!! OMG!!!

I have not checked out the website for months and also have not entered the LV boutique for ages, this afternoon at lunchtime, I happened to come face to face with Stresa (that I only discovered early last week) as I came out of the ladies on my office floor. This lady thank goodness, wasn't staff, or else I risk bumping into "Stresa" everyday in the lift, in the corridors... imagine the agony! She must have just finished a meeting here at our office. Didn't see her face, or even noticed her company tag, cause my eyes fell first on what she was carrying on her lucky shoulder. Sigh! My stresa... well no, technically it's her stresa but you know what I'm saying.

My first reaction was eeerkkkk!!! What's she carrying??? Already??? But I just knew about it last week!!!! Nooooo! But it's so pretty!!!!!! OMG!OMG! I am in love! That's it, there's no turning back. If I thought I was off LV, I'm back on!!!

Some facts about my latest... "if I have some $$$ to burn on a new handbag it'll be on this".

Premiered in New York several months ago on Louis Vuitton 2010 Cruise Line, Louis Vuitton Stresa is made in Damier Azur canvas. But the Monogram Canvas version has hit the market much earlier than predicted.

The new line is name after Stresa, a small town on the bank of Lake Maggiore in Italy and a peaceful resort for the wealthy. Designers manage to bring out tranquility and leisure from the graceful yet practical look as a long holiday in Stresa. I’m just crazy for its elegancy and sophistication.

With a convenient zip opening, the Louis Vuitton Handbag features two interior patch pockets and an interior D-ring. There are metal studs on the bottom for more protection and two flat handles to carry or shoulder. It comes in two sizes PM and GM with measurements at 15.7″ x 8.6″ x 8.3″ and 17.3″ x 9.4″ x 8.6″ respectively, which is enough to hold a A4 document. Louis Vuitton Handbags are great accessories for almost any ensembles, but The LV Stresa line is more suitable for business occasions considering the large space and durable material.

Oh if you are wondering, it's just a fraction of the 40K handbag, perhaps 1/8 th! Ha!ha!ha!

If your hubby is getting you a RM40,000 bag would it be this one?

No, my hubby is not getting me a 40K(RM) handbag,... just yet! Though someone else's hubby did! If you have not received the heavily circulated emails just yet, then check out which 40K handbag this lady got from her beloved.

The bag and the lady, yes who else but the well known LV lover herself Siti Nurhaliza was even featured in this LVlover's website.

A quick search at the official LV website: this arm candy costs a whopping ￡7 ,450!

Product description as follows:

Richly decorated with silk and metallic threads – infused with bracing pink to really catch the eye – and crowned by its resin pearl chain, the Calliope makes a striking, colourful statement.

Size: 10.2" x 6.3" x 2.9"

-Innovative shimmering textile fusing metallic and silk threads
-Signature decorative engraved locks and studs
-Satin lined interior
-Pearl chain handle (though my friend commented that it is not unlike a bike chain! sshhh!!!)
-Flat zipped pocket

If you are planning to burn RM40K would you be "investing" it on this? Me personally, I don't think so, if I absolutely have to buy a (a- being the operative word here) handbag with all that money, I might go for something more classic and sober like a blag Hermes or Chanel. But then again if you are in Siti's position where you can afford to go, another black handbag? Then... why not?

The Proposal... left me hyperventilating!!!

Well, not the movie exactly, but Sandra Bullock's wardrobe and mostly her gorgeous Hermes Birkin. Aaaaaaarghhhh!!! It's just sooooo beautiful. Love the scene when she arrived at Ryan Reynold's hometown. She was of course carrying the gorgeous orange Birkin, and 2 LV suitcases, I am not so wild about Pegase (the wheelie thing) but I do so love what I thought was a Keepall (correct me if I am wrong), a lovely oversized Speedy to me. But then again if someone shoved me the Pegase... I have no objections whatsover. Ok, take a deep breath before you proceed...

Here you go... isn't this just so beautiful? I might go for the black one, but just look at that Orange on black, the contrast is just stunning isn't it. Sigh! Been telling hubby that the queue (yes there is one, haven't enquired the KL store about it ...YET!!!) could be 2-3 years, since I am not a celeb nor a socialite, it might even be longer, anyway, I was like, can I like get my name in the waiting list now? Do you reckon you could be able to get me one of these for me in 2-3 years time??? How much is one of these, he asks??? So I told him and he's like WHAT!!!! May be when he decides to get his Naked Bike, I might ask him again... Suddenly, I am praying that he'd buy the bike soon. Ha!ha!ha!

Sigh!

Even in this mayhem... What a sight!

This is a Prada, not crazy about it, but the size is just my kinda size.

Again, throw it to me, I'll make sure I'd catch it.

The proposal scene, ha!ha! I didn't see the knee pad in the movie, clever!! And the killer Christian Louboutin heels, goodness gracious, pretty but I'd never last 5 minutes in them. Unfortunately, I am fated to wear only kitten heels and boring flats!!

Another look at her heels.

Love the shades that she wore too. Apprarently, upon checking they are The Face to Face Ylang 1 (an exclusice French eyewear brand)... do I need to know all these things... Really, just feeding all sinful ideas into my head.

So a few reasons as to why you should not miss this movie:

1. Sandra Bullock looks super chic with superb clothes, handbags and shoes.
2. Ryan Reynolds looks gorgeous, hilarious and there is a topless scene!

3. A lot of Birkin scenes!!!

4. A lot of Prada scenes.

5. Beautiful scenery

6. Makes you laugh your head off

7. Makes you go aaaaaahhh!

8. Makes you laugh your head off again... even when the credits were rolling!
