New Face of LV

Well the rumours were true, Angelina Jolie is the new face of Louis Vuitton.  Her first ad for their Core Values campaign was released today.

The photo, taken by Annie Leibovitz in Cambodia's Siem Reap province, shows Angelina off in all her raw glory - she's in her own clothes, wearing no makeup (so they claim, but those eyes look a little made-up to me)  and toting her years old Aldo LV bag, which incidentally, is no longer available and hasn't been for years.  My guess is they'll have to crank up the production line again as am sure Ms Jolie is going to make it v popular.

Some other famous faces who have fronted the Core Values campaign for LV in the past.

    Francis Ford Coppola and daughter Sophie       Catherine Deneuve

Well between the actors, the former president, the writers, the rock stars and the world champion tennis players, she's in rather glamorous company don't you think?

Paddington Pad

My Sunday paper tells me that Jackie O (of the Australian variety) has her Paddington terrace up for sale as she's making a permanent move to Kangaroo Valley on the NSW south coast.

At quick first glance I thought there was a mirrored wall reflecting back a room but no, it really is double delight.  I love it.

I'm so taken with all the beautiful fireplaces in this home.

My dream house would most definitely have a small table in the kitchen.

The LV Keepall might be a showy prop, but it doesn't stop me from wanting one!

Mama Mia

One of the people I follow on Twitter is Australian writer Mia Freedman. I also enjoy her blog Mama Mia which I find informative, current and quite funny. I got a giggle from the title of this old post and picture...

"Carrying your handbag over your shoulder is, like, SO 2008".

Had to share.
