Stacking and My Birkin Dream

Well I was browsing thru my Facebook I came across this. I just can't exactly describe what my feelings were like but honestly they weren't at all stable.

Oh if you think it's because I can't get one, sorry babe you're sure to be wrong. Of course I'm all allowed to get a Gucci or Givenchy. Or perhaps more like a Prada to be realistic. (Gucci and Givenchy would make my next three generations feed on potatoes and bananas.) The truth is I was driven furious!

To be more clear, I hate to see good bags stacked up like they are fruits and vegetables at the market. Some respect please! Promotions makes even the best bags look ugly, so why bother doing it with big names. My heart drops and repositions and then throbs real bad seeing exquisite bags treated equivalent to a grocery item. And that somehow act as total turn off which doesn't allow a second look at those degraded arm candies.

Why take away their reputation in the name of promotion? Why stack like an idiot? Why oh why people?

Place them where they belong! On the shelves, under the lights.

The ad certainly speaks great luxury and designer brands like Burberry and my favorite Kate Spade, prickly though, if the presentation of these bags are a mess, people will just be able to cringe at the price tag and not awe the details of the fashion buy. I hope they would find a way to do it right.

But whatever it is, I'm not going nor purchasing anything at the mentioned event. Come on, I'm looking for my first luxury bag and that's not going to be one hand picked from a promotion! Not happening. Yes I do sound like a complete vain pot, yet it doesn't matter. I'm not settling for anything less than perfect when it comes to my arm candy. So for now, Mango would do.

Let's just wait and see what's my meant-to-be first luxury label.

But if you were to ask me, I would like a Birkin. In all different colours. Red, orange, green, yellow. I would perfectly match them according to my shoes. Classic and totally classy! Then,I would add Birkin as my middle name. People can call me Renuka Birkin Gunasekaran or RB. Totally cool! And I would be the one and only girl to own a Hermes birkin in the huge state of Terengganu and get married to a Datuk and eventually become a datin.

Big time dream....but you will never know :-p


P.S Reporting a slight twist in the plan. A hermes birkin bag costs nearly 10 000 MYR, so I have decided to not get my hands on it till the one fine day 'Datuk' comes along on a shiny silvery horse and takes me to the fashion kingdom for a shopping spree on my birthday.
Which is also equally impossible!
Oh my Birkin..

A summer delicacy

Ladies and gentlemen, introducing you  ORANGE “ the” colour for summer 2011. 

Orangy orango

A colour that signifies energy, warmth and of course the sun. It certainly oozes confidence and excitement matching the warm season of the year. From head-to-toe, this citrus hue can glamourize your look in every little way and trigger a shadow of envy in an enthralled crowd. You pick it! Whether it’s gonna be an orange top, dress, shoes or bag !  In orange, you can rock them all! Before I forget, this hybrid of yellow and red is also the Ambassador of 2011′s Statement Colours chosen by fabulous fashion houses like Prada and Versace. UPGRADE!

While some celebrities and models hoofing in fame with orange garbs, why not we take a juicy sip of a dazzling orange bag? 

Kate Spade's arm candy!

No doubt that I'm all into Marc Jacobs when it comes to bags but I have to hand it to Kate Spade this time! She has been killing it with this one.

It appears ridiculously enticing that I don't even know if I want to eat it or carry it! To be honest, the first thing that popped in my mind when I came across Kate Spade’s citrus arm candy is CUTESY CHIC!

PERFECTO!

Well it won’t be complete without any details about this fashion delicacy (delicacy?? Actually Yes) Kate Spade NY’s Medium Katie is a convertible (luckily) cross-body bag made of woven cotton and cowhide trim. It comes in exquisite colours like pink (gulabi), soft green (vine)  and of course orange(sophronits).  Sublime choices to lure you into the bait indeed. 

Add the bold color and rock it!

By the way this drool inducing fashion essential waved goodbye to its hefty price tag and now winking humbly with $227(RM 683). SALE price certainly. Do visit Zappos for more info  : http://www.zappos.com/kate-spade-new-york-medium-katie-sophronits

To be real, I love any excuse to buy a cute bag, but supporting Kate Spade would be a great one for this accessory! However, encountered by the quandary of saving or splurging, I stand somewhere in the middle asking to own or not to own considering my scrooge self. *sighing*

Forget about that. 

I found some ways to pair it with (not necessarily the orange hue). 

For a color-block option:

Enlarge for better view. (goes with the vine and sophronits

)

Just a tip for you girls, when you are playing with more than one colour always keep the shoes in a nude shade or as the 2nd second colour (not the main) of your apparel.  

To girl who wanna play safe:

 When you are donning a pristine or nude shaded dress then you are free to pick bags of any colors. But you need to consider the details on the dress first. Make sure there isn't too much going on the piece! well for this cute lace dress from H&M just pick a pair of ballerina pumps or nude wedges and any of those bright colored bag and you GO GIRL!
