Louis Vuitton X



Attending the Louis Vuitton X Exhibit in Beverly Hills has been on my list of things to do since the end of summer. For whatever reason, various things prevented us from going during the last month, so I was very happy to finally get to go last weekend! The exhibit is equal parts retrospective on the company's 160 year long history, a store to purchase special Louis Vuitton items, and an Instagramer's paradise (just look at this epic pink staircase!), so there is definitely something for everyone!



I was actually glad that I waited to go because a recent blog post from Style Charades helped me make the most out of my visit to the Louis Vuitton X exhibit. One thing that blogger Jennifer Lake recommended was getting to the exhibit before it opened and, as soon as it opened, making a beeline to the aforementioned pink staircase if you want some clean shots without any other people in them. Well, I followed this advice to the letter and it paid off! My husband and I were second in line for the exhibit before they opened and I kept telling him "keep your eye on the prize and just head to the pink staircase!" (I know that it probably sounded insane!) Once the exhibit opened promptly at 11:00, we power walked through all of the other displays and arrived at the staircase before anyone else. We did indeed have about 10 minutes before anyone reached it, so we were able to get some pictures before it became quickly jammed with people.



After our mad dash to the staircase, we were then able to enjoy all the other things that the exhibit had to offer. One thing that I really enjoyed was looking at all of the celebrity dresses worn on the red carpet. After seeing these on TV and it photos, it was fun to examine the exquisite details of each dress in person. They also had a lot of other bags, scarves, and clothing on display from their archives, which was exciting to see all in one place!



Speaking of outfits, I wore my new Target Lilly Pulitzer jumpsuit to the exhibit, which I thought would perfectly complement the tropical palm trees that are featured on top of the pink staircase. It turned out to be a hit! In fact, one random man on the street tried to take my picture while I was waiting in line, which I guess I'll take as a compliment! While the jumpsuit might not be quite the same quality as one of Louis Vuitton's custom creations worn by Lady Gaga or Emma Stone, it was a small fraction of the price, so I can't really complain! My bag, however, was a Louis Vuitton, so I did have at least one piece that could be showcased at the exhibit!
