Champagne at LV

Friday 

A beautiful sunny day with a new found Dublin friend from work.  We have only known each other for about three weeks, but it feels like I have known her for much longer. I attempted to show her Helsinki, but lets be honest I knew quite little of the surrounding monuments. Despite this, our day began perfectly with champagne and shopping at Louis Vuitton, where I bought the most amazing bags from their new summer collection. Then, we soaked up culture by viewing churches, food markets, Marimekko, Ittala and some beautiful architectual applications. After a 'Teatteri' lunch we followed the sparkling sea to Kaivopuisto. On our way, we picked up Bella and went for tea at Carusell and enjoyed the sunshine and singing birds on the terrace. We admired some houses in Eira and just talked about life... A great day, all in all! I was exhausted from all the walking when I get home and had a relaxing evening.

In the 2012 summer collection, LV "places the heritage and art of travel at the heart of the house designs. Inspired by the company's earliest advertisements, the Articles de Voyage silkscreen pattern honours the traditional LV codes." For the smaller bag, I actually bought the leather strap for it so I can use it around the back. The other bag (behind) is HUGE, it will fit anything and will be perfect for traveling.
