"I'll bet you're hungry," she says, feeling the kitten's ribs poking through its caramel and ivory coat.Suddenly a low growl escalates behind Savannah as Thoth, her Maine Coon, discovers the reason for the open door and chilly breeze swimming throughout the living room. Before she can stop him, Thoth lurches for the kitten, which scurries like a white mouse beneath Savannah's robe and into the house.Hearing the howling, Horus bounds down the stairs and helps Thoth corner the hissing kitten under the kitchen table, while Savannah slams the door and rushes over."Move back, boys
UGG 1798 Evera Boots," she says to Thoth and Horus, gently pulling the cats aside so she might crawl under the table to rescue the shivering kitten. "Let's clean you up a bit," she says to the kitten, as it tries to hide in her arms.
Monday morning, and Savannah Monroe opens the front door to dash out on the porch, grab the newspaper, and duck back into the house before brisk air saturates her robe. Instead she finds a calico kitten rolling with the paper, tackling it as if it were a football, gnawing the rubber band."Hi, Sweetie," Savannah says, slowly kneeling
Dsquared Shoes, forgetting the icy breeze. "Who do you belong to?"The kitten jumps to its feet, meows loudly, and runs to Savannah, flopping across her slippers. As she strokes its matted fur
Women Robin Jeans, she estimates the kitten to be six weeks old, part of a feral colony living in the overgrown lot down the street.
Louis Vuitton handbags sure had their pulse on fashion's modern needs when they came out with the epi leather line in 1985. Inspired by the grain leather of the Louis Vuitton bags of the '20's, the leather is textured with horizontal threads of raised leather. It has a bunchy effect which jazzes up an otherwise quite plain leather. Somehow I always associate these LV epi leather bags, especially the red ones, with muscle, like how striated muscle looks on the less-########## skeletons in biology class. There seems to be lovely pitter patter on the origin of the word "epi." Does it come from the word skin, or from the word epithilials, which funny enough, also has a biology theme and refers to a trait of genes: no two are the same. Louis Vuitton bags do not have a monopoly on epi leather, which is produced in French mills.
The Petit Noé is the Louis Vuitton handbag that shows off the epi leather gloriously. Whereas the other bags in the line highlight flat portions of the fabric, the Louis Vuitton Petit Noé shows a more feminine side to it. It is in fact, a smaller-scale interpretation of the LV's famous champagne bag created in 1932. But this model, priced at $1160, is carried on the shoulder with a smooth leather adjustable strap. It has tone-on-tone microfiber lining, and silver-toned brass pieces. It comes in ivory and black, but the black reminds again of high school, but this time of the tacky girls carrying around cheap bags and wearing Bon Jovi perfume.
I have seen several companies use it for shoes such as Converse designed by Ian Ginoza as tribute to Jack Purcell, and Gourmet II Due, who came out with an Air Jordan-y type sneaker in March. They are now expanding the use of the material by incorporating it in more street savvy sneaks. It certainly is a good choice of material for footwear, being extremely durable and water resistant. But by far, the prettiest example of the use of this leather can be found within the LV handbag collection itself. After all, we must give credit to those who started the craze.
The ivory though, is amazing, showing off the texture and suppleness of the skin to perfection, while remaining airy and light. This is a real girl's purse, perfect for a brunch or an afternoon wedding. It even comes with a key-ring attached inside, so you don't have to go fumbling for your keys, while still carrying them discreetly. This LV epi leather bag is so recognizable among fashionistas in the know, the one place where the logo is, is almost invisible. There's just simply no need to advertise any more than that. It will be interesting to see if LV will start making their logo more pronounced in the near future, as other companies also start to cash in with the unique leather.
