Gucci Pantheon Watch Collection

Monday, September 6th, 2010

Recently, I was looking for a designer watch for my best friend as a wedding present. I have browsed over the official site of many designer watches, but still did not find the ideal one. Just as I was very disappointed and about to change my idea, I came across this purple Gucci Pantheon watch, as if I is there waiting for me. This watch is quartz chronograph movement and has a case diameter of 36 mm. It has sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating. Besides, there is a Gucci crest and logo engraved on the case back to ensure its authentic nature. It has luminous hands, indexes, and deployment buckle with pushers. The watch is water-resistant to 164 feet or 50 meters. Made in Swiss, this watch has a 2 year warranty. Its case is made of stainless steel with burgundy alligator strap and burgundy sun-brushed dial with 57 diamonds, which is a total of 0.17 carats.10luoyuejun0906 In the News: A Miamian hunts knock-off purses in New York Right off the bat I will tell you that this article may get many of you really worked up. The fact of the matter is that a writer from the Miami Herald took a trip to Chinatown while visiting NYC on a hunt for an array of fake bags for herself, family, and friends. Her writing style is witty and fun, but the message behind her article really is bothersome. Elaine Pasekoff, the author, gives a play by play of how she went about getting the fake handbags. What I find most disturbing is the blurb under the seemingly pointless “Illegal Business” titled “Homework”. The homework section entails a list of how-to’s for getting ready to buy a fake bag. The list is intense and ultimately, leads people to find better ways to support the illegal manufacturing and distributing of counterfeit handbags.

Miss Dior Cherie L`Eau

Saturday, September 4th, 2010

Miss Dior Cherie L`Eau, a new flanker to 2005’s Miss Dior Chérie, reminds me of a fresh breeze that blows flower garden of white flowers on a sultry summer day. Miss Dior Chérie L’eau is a smiling pastel fragrance. It is a fragrance born in spring evoking the awakening of nature and senses. Top notes of Miss Dior Cherie L’Eau will refresh you with aromas of bitter orange, which are delicate, fruity, bitter-sweet and delicately spicy. A heart is ruled by gardenia, a vibrant, opulent, white flower. The gardenia perfectly embodies Miss Dior Chérie: feminine, sensual, charming, with a hint of impertinence. This flower is also the symbol of budding love for a fresh, sparkling, and tender perfume while a base incorporates white musk, leaving a cotton-powdery effect and a long lasting feeling of cleanliness and freshness on your skin in a very soft and gentle way. Miss Dior Chérie is a refreshing, delectable and luminous eau for a burst of charm. It is a fresh, cheerful fragrance, a promise of pastel happiness for an elegant young woman, full of life. With her sparkling allure, detached charm and day-to-day grace, her beauty symbolizes freshness and spontaneity. To underscore the insouciant beauty and sparkling charm, Christian Dior Creative Director, John Gallina, designed brightly-colored dresses with an impertinent vintage 60s spirit for its advertisement directed by Sofia Coppola. With her poetic pastel-toned gem of a film, she plunges us into a playful and resolutely joyful world, ideal to bring Miss Dior Chérie L’eau to life.10luoyuejun0904 Forum Down Just wanted to let you all know that some sort of weird and complicated ‘thing’ happened to the forum tonight. Something about a sphinx search and the database error and back up and rebuild. I am listening to Vlad talk to various tech and server guru’s attempting to fix the problem. To be honest, we do not know how long it will take to fix this problem. I dare not continue to ask Vlad when it will be fixed, as he seems to be blowing steam out of his ears. So hang tight everyone! The forum should be fixed ‘soon’, and no, I have no definition of soon! Thank you for your patience

Latticed City Bag from Balenciaga

Friday, September 3rd, 2010

Take a look at the Latticed City Bag from Balenciaga, do you feel it stylish? Maybe you think it holds a spring-themed look, which supposed to make it trendy, but ironically, but this doesn’t make it stylish at all. Rather, it still looks rugged, so don’t be surprised if a person places it as a doormat and steps onto it.

It is of multicolored lambskin with your choice of either beige or navy trims. It is accented with aged brass hardware and with a zipped pocket across the center front. Its zipper pull, including that of the main compartment’s zipper pull, is designed with a tassel, making it look more rugged even if it tries to be trendy.

The bag comes with a leather framed hand-mirror to check whether you still look good or need some retouching while on the go. It also has a black textile lining with additional zipped pocket on the inside. This can be handheld through its stitched top handles or can be wrapped around your body through the removable shoulder strap.

Its tag price is as well surprising at $1,829, which then really makes me hate it. It would have been better if the design is subtle or perhaps if the woven style is in a different kind of shape and design, and of course, if it is priced at a low cost.

Chloe Bay Patent Hobo

This is a stunning Chloe handbag, minus the whole heavy leather ordeal. I was never a huge fan of the Bay bag, especially in the larger versions, because it is just too heavy. I already own two Paddington bags that are used rarely because of the weight issue. But this bag I can handle, I think. The Chloe Bay Patent Hobo is drenched in the most beautiful hue of purple, which they deem violet, in a more compact Bay shape. The dimensions on this version are 12″W X 13″H X 4″D which are much smaller and more manageable than their Bay satchel or bag. This is a great throw over your shoulder and get on the go bag. The leather is a grained patent lambskin, but I have seen it in the store and it is not hugely over-powering. The 8″ shoulder drop makes the bag hand nicely on your arm and the shape is not too bulky that you have to hold your arm up in the air while carrying the bag. There is of course the pull accents that the Bay bag is known for and a large outside zip pocket for easy access. My problem with many Chloe bags is the inside lining, which is always just cotton. I hate to pay nearly $2k for a handbag and have it lined in simple cotton. But I like this bag, so I can look past that. So the cotton lining issue aside, the only other issue you may face is that this bag is still heavier than many that are the same size. Chloe implements such sturdy leather it is hard to get past the weight issue. But the issue should not be much of an issue when the bag is much smaller. Overall, this is my favorite Chloe Bay Bag yet!

Charlize Theron Glamorizes with Her Balenciaga Tote

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010

Toting a Balenciaga Black Leather Tote, Charlize Theron looks very casual with her “husband” Stuart Townsend, and Sean Penn, looking very formal with his overall black suit.

Although there’s nothing so fabulous about her outfit, the Balenciaga bag managed to add a touch of luxury and elegance on her totality. It is versatile and it holds an understated luxe, which really goes well with her rather relaxed ensemble. It certainly takes her facade from casual to fab, pulling her look together to a somewhat chic totality.

The bag is large and definitely enough to hold her every essential. It obviously comes classic in black shade, but the use of golden hardware gives a flash of modern and classier appeal to it. So as said, this Balenciaga tote is very versatile, and even matching it with just the simplest ensemble would still make one look elegant.

Jimmy Choo Marin Zebra Clutch: Fab or Drab?

There is a lot going on with this clutch. Not only is there a brown and white zebra print pattern, but the material is ponyskin. And Choo has added another dimension with the gray watersnake trim that seems to have a bit of a glimmer and shine to it. The Marin clutch has been a huge hit for Jimmy Choo, but is the Jimmy Choo Marin Zebra Clutch fab or drab? This is the oversized version, which if you don’t realize it, is huge. The dimensions are 14.5″ W x 9″ H. While NAP shows this with a moo moo-esque dress (better known as a Temperley London kaftan), this clutch would look great with a very simple outfit; skinny jeans, white top, and sexy heels. Does the ponyskin/watersnake/zebra combo put this bag over the top for you in a good way or bad way? Available through Net A Porter for $1,875.
