Daggers of Light

aka…Louis Vuitton Harajuku.
Gotta love a Nation that practically worships neon like the stations of the cross. I do.

Ode to LV
Neon in your window bright
shedding that fluorescent light
I see bags upon display
you won’t sell, it’s show array.
If I come in thirty days
can I purchase if I pay?
No, you see, it’s as you see ‘em
They are running a Museum.

Hey, I got you to read this, didn’t I? Clean it up.

Hard to resist fluorescent yellow, lime and orange cheetah print pony sandals with black leather heel and piping….
Ahhhhhhhh…..

Manolo Blahnik fluoresent pony sandals

My FIRST Manolo Blahniks. Ah….I remember spying these on the table at Neiman Marcus Bal Harbour (Florida) in 1994. Be still my heart. I couldn’t justify the purchase since they seemed insanely expensive (even on sale, although I did relent).

I think in retrospect, these are the kinds of articles that one SHOULD buy immediately. File it under the-’Life is too short, do you really need another pair of black slingback Pumps’ category.

The French say: ‘Coup de Coeur’ and roughly translated, that means heart attack (similar to the way you feel when you open the statement to pay for them). Basically, the idea is, if you really don’t love it, don’t buy it, but if you do seriously HAVE TO HAVE IT, Get it over with–and isn’t it better when they are actually still available in YOUR size???

Fendi Grande Crossword Totes

Fendi Crossword Tote in purple and pink

Buy A Vowel—Uber interesting woven Fendi Tote ‘Crossword’ in deep eggplant with fluorescent PINK piping. Whammo. Probably something you can’t live without. Okay, maybe, but…just in case your tastes run along the more ‘au naturel’ vein, the perforated beige with black patent trim is probably infinitely more wearable.

Thank Goodness that Saks is running their ‘Friends and Family’ promotion. FYI, you don’t seem to have to truly be either to merit the discount. Wag that card.
