6 Reasons to Buy a Louis Vuitton Speedy Bag


You know how men think that we spend too much on clothes/shoes/bags? As sad as it is, they might be right, unless… we are talking about iconic fashion items, like Louis Vuitton Mongram Canvas Bag!

If you consider buying a designer bag and haven’t yet decided which one to splurge on, here are 6 Reasons that’ll make you run for that Speedy Bag to the nearest Louis Vuitton boutique :)

1. It’s a Classic

louis vuitton speedy Bag with it’s notorious monogram canvas and classic silhoette has been in style for years and years now, so once you get it, you can be sure it will look fashionable and stylish as long as you have it (which is not always the case with “it” bags of the season).

2. Pick The Perfect Size

louis vuitton speedy 25
louis vuitton speedy bag comes in 4 sizes, which means you will definitely find the very right size for you ( I personally think Louis Vuitton Speedy Bag Speedy 30 is the best as it is neither too small, nor too big).

3.  Goes with Everything

louis vuitton speedy Bag goes with EVERYTHING, from jeans to cocktail dresses. The only thing you can not pair it with is a red carpet gown. But when it’ll come to that, I think you will splurge on a nice clutch, won’t you?

4. Durable Materials

LV Monogram Canvas
louis vuitton speedy Bag is made of  signature LV monogram canvas and calf skin and is extremely durable in every day life, here is what LouisVuitton.com says about it:

    …Monogram canvas is lightweight, supple, strong and sturdy. Completely waterproof, it is highly resistant to surface scratches – perfect for travel and contemporary lifestyles.

Which is always a good thing, because getting a new designer bag made of soft leather and having it scretched the same day is the worst fashionista’s nightmare!

5. Perfect for Travel


louis vuitton speedy Bag is perfect for travel, it will hold all your valuable belongings and at the same time will make you look stylish, which is not that easy with those hours and hours of flights.

6. Value for Money
The last, but not least – Louis Vuitton Speedy Bag is one of the very very few designer bags that says Style and makes you look fantastic and fashionable 24/7 for a rather reasonable price as for a designer piece (think Birkin that starts at $6.000 per bag).

The price for a Louis Vuitton Speedy Bag starts at $775.00 (for the smallest size) and goes up to $2670.00 (for the largest)! Which pretty much makes it the best investment in terms of a designer bag a girl can make!  I hear they cost less in France, so if  you are planning a trip to the City of Lights, wait and see if you can really get your lv speedy for less there.

Oh, and even being the biggest fan of eBay, do opt for a Louis Vuitton boutique (or an LV boutique near you), to make sure you get an authentic piece. You do not want to throw all that money on something sent to you from NYC Canal Street, do you?
Well, Ladies, hope you found these reasons helpful :) And believe me, once you get that louis vuitton speedy, you will fall in love with it so much, you will forget about all other bags in your closet!

8 Key Fashion Trends for 2013


What do you think of the key fashion trends for 2013?! We might only be just into the new year, but the stand-out looks are already being shown off around the catwalks and capital cities of the world. If you haven’t already invested in your favorite looks, here’s what you’ll be wearing all year long; here are 8 key fashion trends for 2013.

1. Neons
Neons have been big for a while, and they certainly aren’t going anywhere! 2013’s neons are back to basics, with plenty of highlighter-tone greens, oranges and yellows. Rock the trend without your family and friends needing sunglasses by opting for a neon handbag, or wearing neon nail polish.

2. BlazersA blazer is an absolute wardrobe essential this year. Choose one in a bright yet sophisticated shade, such as light blue with black detailing, and you’ll be able to wear it at work, at home and out for cocktails. The right blazer will transform your favorite jeans and dresses into a whole new look.

3. Stripes
Stripes are getting a whole new look. The perfect pieces for 2013 feature wide stripes, different colours and varying sizes: and they are covering everything from t-shirts to bags and scarfs. Opt for blue and white pieces to make them rock the sailor trend too.

4. Orange
Orange has been all over the catwalk. From bikinis to dresses, it’s bright, loud and colorful, and sure to boost your mood. Give your wardrobe an instant revamp by swapping your trusty LBD for a bright orange number instead, or opt for a Victoria Beckham-inspired orange work dress. You’ll be amazed at how much a bright color can boost your mood!

5. Pastels
Pastels are still set to rule the high street, but with the rest of this years’ trends, wearing them can seem difficult. Neons and pastels in the same outfit can be difficult to pull off, so apply the pastel trend to your jewelry only: there is an amazing selection of pastel earrings and necklaces that add a cute edge to a bright look.

6. Bomber Jackets
These might feel a little 1980’s, but the bomber jacket is getting a revival. Rather than digging out your old ones, invest in some key new ones: sports-style bombers are already proving to be sell outs, and there are some amazing new designs too, such as black lace bombers. You are sure to find one that you love, and it’ll keep you warm and stylish. Win.

7. White
This is a welcome quiet trend – this year is set to be loud and printed, but white will also be huge. White tennis shoes are in all the top shoe shops already, and the catwalks were full of white sundresses in a range of materials from lace to knits. Add wedges and a chic sunhat for the ultimate in easy summer style.

8. Heels
Going out for drinks after work, or just need to look amazing on a night out? Heels are getting bigger and bolder. Geometric patterns, clear bases, tough materials… leather, PVC and glass are all making an appearance! Your shoe cupboard is certain to include at least one pair of statement shoes by the end of 2013.

What do you think of the key fashion trends for 2013? Will you be embracing the change, or are you hoping a different look makes the catwalks? I’d love to know how you’ll be wearing the looks – leave me a comment!

10 Tips on How to Build Your Wardrobe


How To Build A Wardrobe that is functional, cute, comfortable and fashion forward can be a little tricky but it’s not impossible! Ever since I was a little girl, I have loved clothes and shoes and accessories-basically, anything to do with fashion! My favorite thing about knowing how to build a wardrobe is having fun mixing and matching pieces to create a unique style all my own and I have to say I have a lot of experience doing it! If you are looking for some tips on how to build a wardrobe, keep reading because you have just stumbled onto the holy grail!

1. Start with Neutrals


When it comes to fashion, color is great! But you need to make sure you have plenty of neutral colors in your closet as well. Neutral colors include black, brown, white, tan, camel, navy, gray and cream. With these neutrals, you can build an outfit and add one or two pops of color here and there. Neutrals are great choices for work clothing or for a bag, coat or shoes. 

2. Learn to Layer


Knowing how to build a wardrobe means that you know how to layer effectively. Layering adds personality and character to your outfits. Plus, it helps you transition easily from night to day. Some ideas for layering include tanks under t-shirts, camisoles under blazers, or collared shirts under vests. Be creative!

3. Clear Out Your Closet


Updating and cleaning out your closet is a crucial part of knowing how to build a wardrobe. Toss out or donate items that are worn out, outdated or no longer fit you. Replace items that show signs of wear such as piling, stretched-out sweaters and tops, or faded spots on dresses and jeans. Looking fashion forward means looking top-notch!

4. Get Your Basics


Every good wardrobe has a few basics in it. Basics are items that you wear often, and can be easily mixed and matched with the other pieces in your closet. Basics include a pair of great jeans, a white button up shirt, black pumps, a little black dress, a neutral blazer, a cardigan, flats in a neutral color, a pencil skirt, a pair of dress slacks, a few statement pieces of jewelry. A great bag, a perfect coat, and a dinner date dress. You will be glad you have these basics on hand!

5. Avoid Trendy Items


Trends are fun and cool to play around with, but knowing how to build a wardrobe means knowing that you shouldn’t spend to much money on trendy items. One or two trendy items to mix it up every now and then can be fun, but trends come and go and you don’t want to constantly need to update your wardrobe with trends that come and go. Stay updated, but know the difference between styles and trends.

6. Make Sure You Have Balance


A wardrobe made up entirely of jeans and t-shirts or entirely of blazers and fitted pencil skirts won’t do you very much good. The best advice I can give you on how to build a wardrobe is to make sure you have a balanced selection in your closet. A good balance includes casual attire, casual dress attire, work attire, dress attire and formal attire.

7. Consider Your Lifestyle


When choosing the pieces to hang in your closet and learning how to build a wardrobe, consider your lifestyle. Do you have a desk job? Do you attend many formal functions? Does your day to day life include small children or require you to be very active? What are your social habits? These are all things to think about when buying clothes and accessories.

8. Incorporate Personality


While your job or lifestyle may require a certain dress standard, alway remember to incorporate some personality into your sense of style. There is no need to be boring or try and clone someone else’s style exactly. Be yourself! Add personal touches to your outfits.

9. Check The Fit


When learning how to build a wardrobe, don’t make the mistake of thinking a little bit of snugness or looseness in a garment will be “ok”. Part of being fashion forward means having all your clothes fit your body well and flatter your form! Find a good tailor or seamstress to let out or take in garments that aren’t the proper fit. This will be the best thing you can do!

10. Don’t Be a Slave


Whatever you do. Don’t ever become a slave to anything fashion related. Don’t become a slave to color, a slave to trends or a slave to boring fashion. Mix it up, keep it cool, and above all, have fun with it! Fashion is meant to be enjoyed, not dreaded or mistreated.

If you plan to spend your time and money on new clothes, you will definitely want to make it worth your while. With these tips on how to build a wardrobe you can be sure you will get the benefits! Knowing How To Build A Wardrobe is a great advantage. Not only can you keep your own closet on it’s toes, but you can help family and friends learn how to build a wardrobe as well!

7 Fun Facts about Coco Chanel


Although many people known the basic story of Coco Chanel and her rise to fame, there are many fun facts about Coco Chanel that most people do not know. Her name is still a symbol of high fashion and she changed the game of clothing back in the day. And her perfume is one of the most popular fragrances today, even almost 100 years after it was created. You can always see how her experiences shaped her clothing and accessories. So behold, some fun facts about Coco Chanel. And remember: “A girl should always be two things, classy and fabulous.”

1. She Made The Tan Popular
Among the many facts about Coco Chanel, one is that she made the tan popular. After a trip to Cannes, she came back looking sun kissed and fabulous. Because of her popularity in Paris at the time, women wanted to emulate her and look like her. After her tan skin became known, having sun kissed skin was all the rage in Paris in that time. This was unusual because up to that time, having pale skin was more common and considered more elegant than tan skin.

2. She Sprayed Chanel No 5 Throughout Her Home
One of the most fun facts about Coco Chanel is that she had Chanel No. 5 sprayed throughout her home. I am not sure why, but I love this fact. It says to me that Chanel enjoyed the finer things in life and wanted to be surrounded by elegance. But not only that, she wanted a constant reminder of her hard work. Plus Chanel No. 5 might be my favorite fragrance ever so I am a bit jealous.

3. Her Real Name Is Gabrielle
She was born Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel after being born in Samur. When she grew up she started a career as a singer. Because her most popular song was called “Qui qu’a vu Coco,” she quickly got the nickname Coco. And that name stuck with her throughout her fashion career.

4. She Was a Licensed Hat Maker
Not many people know this fun fact about Coco Chanel, but she started her career as a hat-maker. She started off small, making hats for friends. But eventually her business started to boom and she started to expand her lines to include clothes. But this was not possible without the support of her love Arthur Capel, who supported her in opening her first hat boutique.

5. She Invented The Little Black Dress
Another one of the facts about Coco Chanel is that she is credited with inventing the ever-popular “Little Black Dress.” She introduced it in 1926, and while many designers change their fashions up every year, Chanel kept her LBD relatively the same from year to year because of its incredible popularity.

6. Her Lucky Number Was 5
It makes sense that Chanel named her most popular perfume Chanel No. 5 because 5 is her lucky number. Not only did she name her perfume after this number, but also released it on the 5th day of the 5th month in 1922. When designing the bottle for her signature perfume, she went against the popularity of extravagant bottles. Chanel wanted people to focus on the perfume and the scent rather than what the bottle looked like. And it paid off because Chanel No. 5 is still one of the most popular scents today.

7. She Revolutionized Women’s Clothing
Another one of the fun facts about Coco Chanel is that her concept of comfortable and practical clothing was groundbreaking at the time. She lived in a time where corsets were common and women were supposed to wear extravagant dresses and dainty jewelry. Chanel went against the grain and designed clothes that were for the everyday woman and were functional. Her suit became famous for its simple cut and fabric and how it flattered women without forcing them to suck in their stomachs. She also is credited with bringing costume jewelry to fame with large ornate pieces.

Coco Chanel is still one of the most well known names in fashion to this day. She lived an interesting life and there is no doubting that she was an incredible woman. While some people are more familiar with her clothing, it is important to know a bit about her and learn what inspired her timeless pieces. These fun facts about Coco Chanel show a bit about her inspiration for her clothing and accessories. What did you think about these fun facts about Coco Chanel? What did you find interesting about these facts? Do you know any other facts about Coco Chanel?

11 Heels from Hell


Ah! A woman and her love for shoes…a tale as old as time, a mystery as mysterious as life itself. I will never quite get why Cinderella didn’t turn back to get the gorgeous glass shoe and chose the pumpkin carriage instead, silly spells be damned! Unless, the glass shoe was secretly… a shoe from hell…like these 17 heels from hell. What can I say, some shoes were just not made for walking!

1. Antonio Berdari Heel-less Boots


Victoria Beckham wore these Antonio Berdari latex heel-less thigh high boots to the Beckhams’ perfume launch in NYC back in 2008. Trust the fierce Mrs. Beckham to readily try gravity defying fashion stunts….and pull them off!

2. Christian Louboutin Extreme Ballerina Heels


Louboutins almost always make me gasp but this time for completely different reasons! Who in the world is going to walk in those and more importantly how?! Thankfully, these were meant to be solely an exhibition piece at David Lynch’s Fetish exhibition at the Galerie du Passage in Paris. Besides Louboutin himself said, “You can’t walk or run in these shoes.They’re only made for lying on your back.” Phew!

3. Eelko Moorer Wooden Stilts


While these “stilts” sort of defeat the purpose of wearing shoes in the first place, I have to say that they look intriguingly fantastic! Of course considering the creater Eelko Moorer studied 3D design along with a technical course in shoemaking and received his MA in product design, it is easy to see why his designs are so out there!

4. Alexander McQueen Geisha inspired Heels


I am a HUGE fan of alexander mcqueen’s work, god bless his soul. But these double planked heels are drecktitude personified! Yeah, I’m not breaking my feet for those.

5. Julian Hakes Mojito Shoes


When your inspiration is as unique as footprints in the sand, you expect nothing short of a gorgeous end result and that’s exactly what these Mojito shoes are. Unfortunately without a foot plate, I’m not so sure if they are as practical as they are beautiful. Such a pity!

6. Guo Pei’s Sky High Heels


I love the intricate geomterical details in these shoes but I usually find it quite a task to walk with normal heels and I’m pretty I’m going down face first with these on.

7. Alexander Mcqueen Platform Boots


Ooo dizzying! Frighteningly dizzying! 12 inch leather boots are no joke my lovelies and Heidi Klum did it every bit the justice it deserved while shooting for German Vogue. Shoes like this are probably the reason why Heidi’s legs are insured for a whopping $2.2 million!

8. Polly Veirty Masochist Heels


Ouch! Can you imagine the entire weight of your body resting on a bunch of flimsy wires?! I know fashion trumps pain when it comes to beauty (sometimes) but these aren’t even pretty! Yep, clearly a sacrifice I’m not willing to make!

9. Prismatic Paper Shoes


I’m all for recycling and showing love for mother earth etc. but I’m not sure how well these paper shoes by Mathieu Missiaen and Julien Morin fit into that plan. Clearly, this idea does not translate from art to fashion but I do have to say that I LOVE them! Have you seen happier shoes? Or more colorful shoes for that matter?

10. Alexander McQueen Armadillo Heels


When I started this post, I knew McQueen would feature more than once and here we are! Who doesn’t remember these bizarre shoes from McQueen’s spring 2010 collection? I haven’t still made up my mind about whether I love them or hate them but I just can’t stop staring at them! Btw, there are only 21 of these in existence but considering only the *very* brave would even think about slipping into these, that shouldn’t be a problem.

11. World’s Highest Heels


This post would be incomplete without including these shoes. With 16 inch heels and 11 inch platforms, produced by LadyBWear Limited, these are officially the world’s tallest heels and hold a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records. 16 inches is mad I tell you! Mad!  On a side note, if there was a spot for the ugliest shoes in the list, I bet these would be in the top five.

Wow! I don’t have a fear of heights but any of these shoes could change that. Seriously, models you are a brave kind! Which of these heels from hell gave you the heebie-jeebies?

8 Ways to Dress down a Blazer


There are plenty of different ways to dress down a blazer. Traditionally, blazers can look very smart and sophisticated. They can easily dress up an outfit, that’s for sure. But what if you want more options out of your blazer – mainly ones that are more casual and dressed down? Read on for a few different pointers on ways to dress down a blazer.

1. Pair It with Denim
One of the easiest ways to dress down a blazer is to team it with something denim. Dark denim jeans are great for working a smart casual look. If you want to dress down your blazer even further then go for faded, distressed, maybe even ripped denim. You could even try a slouchy pair of boyfriend jeans for a streetwear inspired look or team a blazer with denim shorts in the warmer months.

2. Choose a Slouchy Style
Sometimes it’s the blazer itself that you need to look at. If you’re always feeling a bit overdressed in your blazer, it might be because it’s too tailored. Experiment with different styles of blazers, like those in draped or oversized cuts. Also check out blazers made from lightweight and relaxed fabrics.

3. Roll up The Sleeves
Dress down your blazer in a matter of seconds just by rolling up the sleeves. It’s an easy way to add a casual air to your outfit. If you’re going to roll or scrunch up your sleeves, it’s probably best to do it on your least precious blazers. You wouldn’t want to be creasing your best and most expensive blazers!

4. Wear It with T-shirts
What you wear under your blazer can also play a part in creating a dressed down look. Stick to the basics and team your blazer with a plain t-shirt or tank top. Lightweight, slubby fabrics are a great option and perfect for a casual outfit.

5. Keep Makeup Simple
To really get the whole dressed down look, stick to simple looking makeup. Bold lip colours and heavy eye makeup can make you look like you’ve glammed up. A sweep of blush or bronzer, a coat of mascara and a bit of lip gloss is all you need to work a fresh-faced look.

6. Wear Flat Shoes
A blazer and heels can look really dressed up. If you’re going for a more casual look, then stick to one or the other. When you want to wear your blazer in a dressed down way, slip on a pair of flat shoes. Ballet flats are still pretty smart and polished, so try a loafer, sandal, or sneaker instead.

7. Think about Your Accessories
Accessories can completely change your look. To work a dressed down look, stick to casual looking accessories. Keep things fairly minimal too – even fun and playful looking accessories can look over the top and dressed up if you have too many of them.

8. Throw a Scarf over The Top
Teaming a scarf with your blazer can be a great way of adding a visual detail to your look. Plus it can keep you warm if the weather is a bit chilly. Instead of silky and sophisticated looking scarves tied neatly around the neck, choose lightweight pashminas or chunky knits and loop them loosely around your neck. Brightly coloured and patterned scarves can add a fun element to your look as well.

Get the most wear out of your blazer by making it work for different occasion. These are just a few tips for when you want to work a dressed down look with a blazer. What tips do you have for dressing down a blazer?
