When rain descends and puddles ensue…wear boots! Rain has been a rarity for the Central Coast the past few years but it is now upon us and proper foot wear is needed. While I have been dying to purchase a pair of Hunter Wellies I have resisted the urge because they would be the most unused, impractical item sitting in my open-toed, strappy sandal filled shoe collection.

Nevertheless, a new pair of boots were needed for the winter season and I was ecstatic when my husband presented me with the perfect, over the knee,burberry bag, polo-inspired Frye boots as a gift.

Where to buy: www.shopbop.comor Coverings in downtown San Luis Obispo (always has an excellent selection of Frye boots).

Comfort, style and practicality rolled into one. As Henry Wadsworth Longfellow put it “The best thing one can do when it’s raining is to let it rain” and I’m prepared for the forecast.

Finally a new Louis Vuitton line that men can get really excited about. I know I am. Vuitton debuts the Damier Graphite line of accessories in the attempt to revive, redo and revisit the traditional, checkered Damier design. Discreet, yet wonderfully masculine, the new canvas spans across classics, such as the Keepall 55, the Grimaud or the Cabas. Adding to the fine range of travel bags, LV reveals the new Roadster,hunter rain boots, a 24h-sport bag with a wide zippered flap for easy access. Even a Damier Graphite Motorcycle Helmet is available for enthusiasts who insist on sporting the ultimate in chic whilst cruising cross Roma on their Vespas.

The new line is available in Louis Vuitton boutiques worldwide starting this weekend, soon to be available through eLuxury as well.

Dear reader, visitor, and customer, we at Ties-Necktie.com have put together a great looking outfit for this years fall/winter. It is an outfit that is slightly different but still classic, elegant, and sophisticated. At the base of this outfit is a navy blue suit with window-pane check pattern in rust-brown and light silver. The suit is made from twill fabric – a slightly heavier fabric made from a worsted wool that is perfect for the colder months of the year. The suit is paired with a solid light blue dress shirt which perfectly balances the navy blue on the suit as well as the fine silver lines in the checkered suit pattern. Finally we chose a solid burgundy red tie which matches well to the shades of bluye and perfectly compliments the rust-brown on the checkred suit pattern. The best dress shoes for this outfit are a dark shade of brown such as chestnut or cognac-brown. Still not sophisticated enough? Then we suggest to add a solid Burgundy colored pocket square.

Louis Vuitton on screen

On February 15th, Louis Vuitton will venture into a new realm, one that it does not even know. Moving from print Ads, Louis Vuitton will debut on screen showing a travel-themed 90 second television and movie theater advertisement. This clip is not focused on the celebrities, rather on travel, to bring Louis Vuitton lovers together world-wide. The advertisement was shot in France, Spin, India and Japan. LVMH Mo?t Hennessy Louis Vuitton, described the advertisement as “the first ever on-screen corporate campaign by a luxury house.”

I look forward to seeing one of the quintessential luxury houses on screen. What about you?

IN an unusual marketing move for a fashion and luxury goods brand, Louis Vuitton said Tuesday that it planned to advertise on television for the first time, with a travel-themed 90-second spot that was shot in France, Spain, India and Japan.

The campaign, which will start Feb. 15, will run on cable and satellite television channels and in movie theaters around the world, the company said. It shows ordinary people, rather than celebrities like Catherine Deneuve, Andre Agassi and Mikhail Gorbachev, who are featured in a current print campaign for the label.

Louis Vuitton,hunter boots, a unit of LVMH Mo?t Hennessy Louis Vuitton, described the advertisement as “the first ever on-screen corporate campaign by a luxury house.”

High-end fashion brands and luxury goods companies have generally avoided television advertising, sticking mostly to magazines and, in some cases, newspapers.

Television advertising can be expensive, and many luxury goods companies, particularly European family-owned concerns, have operated on relatively small advertising budgets. (The holding company LVMH, based in Paris, is not family owned.) Also, image-conscious fashion brands have been wary about undermining their aura of exclusivity with appeals to mass-market television audiences.

An exception is Chanel, which made a splash about three years ago with a two-minute TV ad for Chanel No. 5 perfume. Starring Nicole Kidman, it reportedly cost more than $30 million to make.

The Louis Vuitton ad aims to promote the brand itself, rather than a specific product. A Louis Vuitton bag makes only a fleeting appearance in the ad, which asks, “Where will life take you?”

“It is supposed to touch our clientele and viewers in ways that perhaps other media will not touch,” said Pietro Beccari, Louis Vuitton’s head of marketing. “This is a way to say Louis Vuitton is different. It is something éphémère, but also something that stays.”

Mr. Beccari said the ad would be particularly useful in reaching new audiences in fast-growing markets like China, where the image of Louis Vuitton may be less established than in Western countries.

The company said it would run the ad in “rigorously selected cinemas” and on cable and satellite channels that were likely to attract well-traveled audiences. These will include news channels like CNN and BBC World, which many business travelers watch in their hotel rooms, as well as outlets like the Golf Channel, Mr. Beccari said.

“We will not use television in the way Nutella is using it,” he said, referring to the chocolate-hazelnut spread. Mr. Beccari declined to say how much Louis Vuitton would spend on the campaign. Referring to the television channel with the biggest audience in France, he added: “We will not be on TF1.”

Even without television advertising, sales of Louis Vuitton products have been rising. The brand, including clothing, recorded a double-digit sales increase in the first nine months of last year, the company said, with particularly rapid growth in China.

Like impulse buyers in a Louis Vuitton boutique, Mr. Beccari and Yves Carcelle, the chief executive of Louis Vuitton, did not hesitate in deciding to use television ads. A proposal put together by the ad agency Ogilvy & Mather, part of the WPP Group, showed a collage of moody still images from a variety of films, Mr. Beccari said, and it struck the right tone for the brand, which has been trying to focus on its travel heritage after several years of glitzier marketing for the fashion line.

“We both got goose bumps and said, ‘This is the direction we want to go,’ ” Mr. Beccari said.

As the name already suggests, the half Windsor is the double Windsor knot’s little brother. The look of the half Windsor is much smaller than the one of the double Windsor. In addition, the knot has a slightly asymmetric, and slightly less triangular shape. The knot is best suited for dress shirts with a medium collar spread. Because the half Windsor only requires one wrapping of the tie, the tie can be tied much longer – making it a good choice knot for taller men that have difficulty tying a regular length tie to the right length. If this sounds familiar to you,burberry scarf, then you may also want to consider our Extra Long Ties.

The video below shows instructions on tying the half Windsor knot. Have a paper and pen ready when watching this video.

We have been lamenting over attempting to find the perfect beach bag. Do you spend $50 or $500, do you get a designer bag or kick-around-bag? It comes down to personal preference and what kind of use the handbag in question will get. What I advise is buying a bag that is in your comfort zone price wise and will perform the task you are looking for.

The Coach Beach Collection is worth checking out, with items illustrated by Pierre Le-Tan, known for his whimsical style and keen eye for color. While the actual beach bags that I would opt for in this collection still cost around $250, they are illustrated beautifully and have the perfect beach feel to them. As far as the illustrated canvas bags go, there is a seahorse, cabana, and umbrella theme. To be perfectly honest, I am having a hard time knowing which I like most. All I can picture is one of these totes, cut off shorts, a tee, my bikini, sunglasses, and a hat. Typical beach wear accessorized by the perfectly cute and fitting beach tote. Each canvas illustrated beach tote is $268 at Coach.

There is also a tote, dubbed the Coach Beach Leather Large Tote, which I adore the shape of. There are light color options available, like cream and seafoam, on a classy and clean design. The inside features stripped lining which we all know is ubiquitous with summer. Coach may release a younger-suited Poppy line but they continue to produce higher end leather lines which are doing well for them. This tote is an example of that, and truly, a beautiful bag. Buy for $598 via Coach.

While every Coach line is not for me, this line is perfectly suited for its purpose and puts a huge smile on my face. Items are selling out fast, so check out more of the Coach Beach Shop here.
