    This Louis Vuitton Small Bag Video Is Adorable

    Louis Vuitton enlisted bloggers Miroslava Duma, Hanelli Mustaparta, and Elin Kling, to appear in a video called "Small Is Beautiful," an ode to the house's small, crossbody bags.



    Louis Vuitton enlisted bloggers Miroslava Duma, Hanelli Mustaparta, and Elin Kling, to appear in a video called "Small Is Beautiful," an ode to the house's small, crossbody bags.

    The premise is simple: Schlepping around town with a gigantic tote isn't fun, but carrying a small, functional bag can be. Cue adorable French New Wave-ish footage of Kling riding a bike across a bridge in Paris, Mustaparta taking in the sights via train, and Duma dancing on the banks of the Seine — all unencumbered and light-as-air with their itty-bitty purses.

    Kling said in a blog post that the clip was produced during a photo shoot last month. The images from the shoot won't be out until the Spring, but hopefully the video below will tide us over until they're released.

    Arizona Muse's Louis Vuitton Art of Travel Campaign

    The short film and ad images for Louis Vuitton's new travel-themed campaign have finally made their way online. Arizona Muse stars in the Inez and Vinoodh-shot images, which carry Vuitton's Art of Travel concept to print, digital, and film.

    In the film — titled L'invitation au Voyage, or Invitation to Travel — Muse is seen walking through the Louvre with a golden key and Vuitton's Speedy Monogram Empreinte bag. After passing by the Mona Lisa and halls filled with priceless Italian art, Muse finds a vintage Vuitton trunk and unlocks it to reveal an envelope. When she realizes there's a man following her through the museum, she runs through its courtyard and jumps into a hot air balloon, taking whatever secrets the envelope contains along with her.

    A look at Muse's short film below, and images from the campaign here in the gallery.

    Irina Shayk Takes Her Colored Denim Into Fall With Black Suede Boots

    With Fall in full swing, some may be wary of taking their colored denim into cooler months, but Irina Shayk's latest travel style proves the popular Summer trend translates perfectly into Fall and Winter when styled correctly.

    With Fall in full swing, some may be wary of taking their colored denim into cooler months, but Irina Shayk's latest travel style proves the popular Summer trend translates perfectly into Fall and Winter when styled correctly. The model paired her periwinkle denim with a black knit sweater, suede fold-over boots, and a periwinkle leather Fendi tote ($3,720) while strolling through the Madrid airport. Her chunky knit and textured boots balanced her colored skinny jeans perfectly, while her monogrammed Louis Vuitton scarf ($630) and aviator shades added a touch of model glamour. Take a cue from Irina and pair rich-hued denim — think mustard, rust, and military green — with luxe knits and cozy wrap scarves for a cool-weather take on the celeb-approved Summer trend.
