Icicles forming in hell...

So something momentous happened today, and I'm not talking about completely spacing on putting any of the 8 windows into my final floor plan for drafting, I saw the new Louis Vuitton specialty bags....and... dare I actually admit this? I love them! Ok now that I have said that I have to add that I think my color theory class is affecting my judgment. I just love the frenetic vibrant colors. They are really eye-catching. * Another thing they have going for them is that the monogram is slightly obscured by the beautiful colors, and to be honest that is my main complaint with Vuitton bags to begin with (if you want an LV bag just get a nice epi leather why do you need the monogram plastered all over everything?). Also neato, they are a collaborative effort with artist Richard Prince. If you aren't familiar with his work, I think the best way to describe him would be artistic witty/humorous philosopher. His work is worth checking out, these bags included.
That all being said I don't think I would ever actually carry one. I do think it is a beautiful piece of color inspiration though.
In other news make sure to check out Lucky for March, and get to "shop" with Ruthie Sommers in Waterworks. (I was more interested in the pretty blue dress she had on.)

*Editorially speaking every review I have found says these bags are just awful... you be the judge.
