Just in time before I leave for my beach vacation (20 more hours to go!) I got a first peek at the new Louis Vuitton 2009 Beach Wear catalog entitled Summer Spirit. While I won't be spotting any LV lying down on the Puerto Plato sand, it definitely puts me in the travel spirit. The idea of warm places and luxurious beachwear is the exact opposite of NYC-during-recession-winter, and I'm ready to take a break!
