On those nights when your mantra is “simple yet glamorous,” opt for a structured, low-key piece like the Louis Vuitton Sobe Clutch. This is a great partner for a classic sheath dress, and in three gorgeous colors (like this moody midnight blue), there’s one to match just about anything in your closet. Sleek, easy and super shiny, this clutch is definitely worth a second look. Also in bordeaux and bright orange. Available for $895 at Louis Vuitton.

Warning: This photo could cause a trend overdose. Not only is Ashley Tisdale wearing artfully distressed stone-wash jeans, ruched suede boots, and a worn graphic tee, but she’s also found room for a lovely Louis Vuitton multicolored monogram purse. The colorful purse is a suitable status bag for a young woman like Ashley - playful, but luxe.

Chic starlet, coming through! “Gossip Girl” star Leighton Meester doubled up on her carry-ons for a recent flight, jetting off with a Louis Vuitton handbag (Suede Asphalt bag, by the looks of it), and Nina Ricci’s Agneau Pleated Besace purse. Both handbags are lovely, as is Leighton’s colorful scarf. Way to fly in style!

Sigh. Does anyone else feel a pang for old-school “House of Style” episodes when they see a photo of the remarkedly well-preserved Cindy Crawford? Cindy, accompanied by her foxy husband Rande Gerber, looks holiday chic in this pic, dressed to kill in white jeans, a fedora, a sand-hued blouse and matching flats, and a killer Louis Vuitton handbag from the Richard Prince series. The purse is pretty funky, but its soft pastels suit Cindy’s outfit. Love the look.

Inspired by airline travel luggage of the 1970s, the Louis Vuitton Flight Bags Paname Takeoff is a fun, eclectic piece that wouldn’t be entirely out of place in the avid LV lover’s (and hopefully traveler’s) closet. Nor would it be out of the question to consider if you just need something super-functional for, yes, everyday use. Its messenger-like style makes it perfect to haul heavy loads around. If you’re a super-chic student who can afford it (who are you and what do you do?) or your work essentials tend to bog you down, this is an out-of-left-field choice that makes sense. Also in yellow (love that one!) and blue. Available for $2180 at Louis Vuitton.

Last time we saw Jessica Simpson carrying a Louis Vuitton handbag, she was wearing sweats. This time, the newly single starlet got it right, pairing her monogram purse with a summery floral frock on a recent night out. Okay, so the clashing prints are a bit of a hiccup, but it’s good to see Jessica smiling again. Nothing like a little Louis Vuitton to perk a girl up!

Our favorite jailbird is traveling in style these days. Okay, so I’m not really feeling her outfit, but that patent midnight blue Louis Vuitton handbag is pretty darn fierce, don’t you think? It’s a fitting choice for an in-your-face singer like Kim, thanks to its extravagant style and rocker edge. I just wish the rest of her outfit was as noteworthy.

Talk about brand loyalty. Victoria’s Secret cutie Miranda Kerr - who has been dazzling us lately with a whirlwind of designer handbags and outfits - stepped up her game at the airport with not one, not two, but three pieces of Louis Vuitton goodness. Combined with her black shades and peachy-nude trench (so gorgeous, by the way), she put all of us slobs who roll up in our terry-cloth trackpants and Uggs to shame. I love how she mixes and matches the Louis Vuitton prints, too - it goes, but without being too matchy.

It hasn’t been a good month for Jessica Simpson, what with her breakup with Tony Romo and all. But that’s not going to stop the girl from getting back out there and exorcising (and exercising) some demons at the gym. Normally I’m not a fun of the giant designer purse look at the gym, but I do have a soft spot for Louis Vuitton, so I’ll let this lovely monogram bag slide. Just don’t let it get sweaty, Jess!
