One of ArmCandyGirl’s favourite bloggers out there is the irrepressible Violent Acres, a brilliantly funny writer with a life story that rivals the most controversial of celebrity memoirs. Why do we love VA so much? Well, there are many reasons, the most important being that she is smart, savvy, sarcastic, and (we strongly suspect) hot as hell. So! Without further adieu, ArmCandyGirl would like to present the Perfect Purse for Violent Acres. We give you: The Damier Azur Berkeley from Louis Vuitton! Now why this purse, we hear you ask? Well for starters, it has exquisite craftsmenship. VA comes across as a lady who appreciates the finer things in life, so that’s quite important. Then there’s the fact that, despite it being a Louis Vuitton purse, it isn’t slathered in obnoxious LV signs – VA doesn’t care if you know she’s carrying a $1,500 purse because she doesn’t give a flying monkey what you think (a sentiment she has made patently clear thus far with her ‘no comments allowed’ policy). And then there’s the fact that the purse is just the right size for our heroine to tote around all day without getting too tired, but still large enough to use as a weapon (beware, mommy bloggers!). Finally, we think Violent Acres and the Damier Berkeley would be perfect for each other because, much like Violent Acres herself, this purse is oh-so sweet, classy and pretty in the edgiest of ways. Violent Acres + Louis Vuitton = a match made in fashion heaven!

The Speedy from Louis Vuitton is an old favorite, which is why this new play on a classic design is so very lovely. Called the Monogram Dentelle Speedy 30, this monogram canvas purse with caramel trim is a wonderful go-to bag for everyday use. Brass hardware and rolled leather handles finish off this comfy, roomy purse – and the icing on the cake is the gorgeous lurex embroidery, made of real lace for that extra touch of luxury. One for the Christmas list! SRP $1,420.00

Wondering what to get your dad/brother/son/husband/boyfriend for Christmas? Look no further than the Taiga Alexander from Louis Vuitton. This gorgeously crafted suitcase/laptop bag/superexecutivepowercase is made of beautifully soft calf leather with silver hardware and leather trimming. As far as actual storage is concerned, it doesn’t get any better than this double-zipped glory of a bag – there are more than enough compartments for not just your laptop and laptop accessories, but papers, phones, whatever business-like things you could possibly imagine.

Louis Vuitton bags, although always bearing a similar streak, have once again been reinvented with a shearling look. The Shearling ‘Storm’ and Shearling ‘Thunder’ run for $3,850 and $3,450 respectively, their main difference being their shape. Personally, I like the shearling look — its cozy feel and glamor-winter style suits me just fine. Already seen with R&B star Ciara and VJ LaLa from MTV, I’m sure these bags will be a hit with the Hollywood types.
